Aspartame conference (Archive)

Friends,

FYI

I have spent several days lecturing at the World Environment Conference on
Aspartame marketed as NutraSweet, Equal and Spoonful. In the keynote
address by the EPA, they announced that there was an epidemic of multiple
sclerosis and systemic lupus, and they did not understand what toxin was
causing this to be rampant across the United States. I explained that I was
there to lecture on exactly that subject.

When the temperature of Aspartame exceeds 86 degrees F; the wood alcohol in
Aspartame converts to formaldehyde and then to formic acid, which in turn
causes metabolic acidosis. (Formic acid is the poison found in the sting of
fire ants). The methanol toxicity mimics multiple sclerosis thus peoples
were being diagnosed with having multiple sclerosis in error. The multiple
sclerosis is not a death sentence, where methanol toxicity is. In the case
of systemic lupus, we are finding it has become almost as rampant bas
multiple sclerosis, especially with Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi drinkers.
Also, with methanol toxicity, the victims usually drink three to four 12
oz. cans of them per day, some even more. In the case of systemic lupus,
which is triggered by Aspartame, the victim usually does not know that the
Aspartame is the culprit. The victim continues its use aggravating the
lupus to such a degree, that sometimes it becomes life threatening. When we
get people off the Aspartame, those with systemic lupus usually become
symptomatic. Unfortunately, we cannot reverse this disease. On the other
hand, in the case of those diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, (when in
reality, the disease is methanol toxicity), most of the symptoms disappear.
We have seen cases where their vision has returned and even their hearing
has returned. This also applies to cases of tinnitus. During a lecture, I
said, and quote, "If you are using Aspartame (NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful,
any artificial sweetener in a blue packet, etc.) and you suffer from
Fibromyalgia symptoms; spasms, shooting pains, numbness in your legs,
cramps, vertigo, dizziness, headaches, tinnitus, joint pain, depression,
anxiety attacks, slurred speech, blurred vision or memory loss, you
probably have Aspartame disease." People were jumping up during the
lecture saying, "I've got this. Is it reversible?" It is rampant.

Some of the speakers at my lecture even were suffering from these symptoms.
In one lecture attended by the Ambassador of Uganda, he told us that their
sugar industry is adding Aspartame. He continued by saying that one of the
industry leader's sons could no longer walk - due in part by product
usage. We have a very serious problem. Even a stranger came up to Dr.
Espisto (one of my speakers) and myself and said, "Could you tell me why
so many people seem to be coming down with M.S.?" During a visit to a
hospice, a nurse said that six of her friends who were heavy Diet Coke
addicts, had all been diagnosed with M.S. This is beyond coincidence.

Here is the problem. There were Congressional Hearings when Aspartame was
included in 100 different products. Since this initial hearing, there have
been two subsequent hearings, but to no avail. Nothing has been done. The
drug and chemical lobbies have very deep pockets. Now there are over 5,000
products containing this chemical, and the PATENT HAS EXPIRED. At the time
of this first hearing, people were going blind. The methanol in the
Aspartame converts to formaldehyde in the retina of the eye. Formaldehyde
is grouped in the same class of drugs as cyanide and arsenic - DEADLY
POISONS!

Unfortunately, it just takes longer to quietly kill, but it is killing
people and causing all kinds of neurological problems. Aspartame changes
the brain's chemistry. It is the reason for severe seizures. This drug
changes the dopamine level in the brain. Imagine what this drug does to
patients suffering from Parkinson's Disease. This drug also causes Birth
Defects. There is absolutely no reason to take this product. It is NOT A
DIET PRODUCT. The Congressional record said, "It makes you crave
carbohydrates and will make you FAT.

"Dr. Roberts stated that when he got patients off Aspartame, their average
weight loss was19 pounds per person. The formaldehyde stores in the fat
cells, particularly in the hips and thighs. Aspartame is especially deadly
for diabetics. All physicians know what wood alcohol will do to a diabetic.
We find that physicians believe that they have patients with retinopathy,
when in fact, it is caused by the Aspartame. The Aspartame keeps the blood
sugar level out of control, causing many patients to go into a coma.
Unfortunately, many have died. People were telling us at the Conference of
the American college of Physicians, that they had relatives that switched
from saccharin to an Aspartame product and how that relative had eventually
gone into a coma. Their physicians could not get the blood sugar levels
under control. Thus, the patients suffered acute memory loss and eventually
coma and death. Memory loss is due to the fact that aspartic acid and
phenylanine are neurotoxic without the other amino acids found in protein.
Thus it goes past the brain barrier and deteriorates the neurons of the
brain. Dr. Russell Blaylock, neurosurgeon, said, "The ingredients stimulate
the neurons of the brain to death, causing brain damage of varying degrees."

Dr. Blaylock has written a book entitled, "EXVIROTOXINS : The Taste That
Kills" (Health Press 800-643-2665). Dr. H.J. Roberts, diabetic specialist
and world expert on Aspartame Poisoning has also written a book entitled,
"Defense against Alzheimer's Disease" (800-814-9800). Dr. Roberts tells
how Aspartame Poisoning is escalating Alzheimer's Disease and indeed it is.
As the hospice nurse told me, women are being admitted at 30 years of age
with Alzheimer's Disease. Dr. Blaylock and Dr. Roberts will be writing a
position paper with some case histories and will post it on the Internet.

According to the Conference of the American College of Physicians, "We are
talking about a plague of neurological diseases caused by this deadly
poison. " Dr. Roberts realized what was happening when Aspartame was first
marketed. He said, "his diabetic patients presented memory loss, confusion,
and severe vision loss. "At the Conference of American College of
Physicians, doctors admitted that they did not know. They had wondered why
seizures were rampant (the phenylaline in Aspartame breaks down the
seizures threshold and depletes serotonin, which causes manic depression,
panic attacks, rage and violence). Just possible antidote for this poison
because they are experiencing so many problems in their country. This
"poison" is now available in 90 plus countries worldwide. Fortunately, we
had speakers and ambassadors at the Conference from different nations who
have pledged their help. We ask you to help too.

Copy this article and warn everyone you know. Take anything that contains
Aspartame back to the store. Send us your case history. I assure you that
Monsanto, the creator of Aspartame, knows how deadly it is. They fund the
American Diabetes Association, American Dietetic Association, Congress and
the Conference of the American College of Physicians. The New York Times,
on November 15, 1996, ran an article on how the American Dietetic
Association takes money from the food industry to endorse their products.
Therefore, they cannot criticize any additives or tell about their link to
Monsanto.

How bad is this? We told a mother who had a child on NutraSweet to get off
the product. The child was having Grand Mal Seizures every day. The mother
called her physician, who called the ADA, who told the doctor not to take
the child off the NutraSweet. We are still trying to convince the mother
that the Aspartame is causing the seizures. Every time we get someone off
of Aspartame, the seizures stop. If the baby dies, you know whose fault it
is and what we are up against. There are 92 documented symptoms of
Aspartame from coma to death. The majority of them are neurological because
the Aspartame destroys the nervous system. Aspartame Disease is partially
the cause to what is behind some of the mystery of the Desert Storm health
problems. The burning tongue and other problems discussed in over 60 cases
can be directly related to the consumption of Aspartame product and several
thousand pallets of diet drinks were shipped to the Desert Storm troops.
Diet drinks sat in the 120 degree F Arabian sun for weeks at a time on
pallets. The service men and women drank them all day long. All of their
symptoms are identical to Aspartame Poisoning. Dr. Roberts says that
consuming Aspartame at the time of conception can cause birth defects. The
phenylanine concentrates in the placenta, causing mental retardation,
according to Dr. Louis Elsas, Pediatrician Professor - genetics at Emory
University in his testimony before Congress. In the original lab tests,
animals developed brain tumors (phenylaline breaks down into DXP, a brain
tumor agent). When Dr. Espisto was lecturing on Aspartame, one physician in
the audience, a neurosurgeon said, "When they remove brain tumors, they
have found high levels of Aspartame in them". Stevia, a sweet food, NOT AN
ADDITIVE, that helps in the metabolism of sugar, which would be ideal for
diabetics, has now been approved as a dietary supplement by the FDA. For
years, the FDA has outlawed this sweet food because of their loyalty to
Monsanto.

If a label says SUGAR FREE, DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT CONSUMING IT.

Senator Howard Metzenbaum wrote a bill that would have warned all infants,
pregnant mothers and children of the dangers of Aspartame. The bill would
have also instituted independent studies on the problems existing in the
population (seizures, changes in brain chemistry, changes in neurological
and behavioral symptoms). The bill was killed by the powerful drug and
chemical lobbies, letting loose the hounds of disease and death on an
unsuspecting public. Since the Conference of American College of
Physicians, we hope to have the help of some world leaders.

Again, please help us too. There are a lot of people out there who must be
warned. Please let them know this information. You might want to print it
out to hand out or fax it to people who are not online.

Remember, that raw, unrefined sugar, when consumed in moderate amounts (unless you are trying to break a refined carbohydrate physiological addiction), is
not as harmful as ANY chemical artificial sweetener in any amount. A great
alternative is Stevia. Stevia is an all-natural, organic sweeter that has
no negative health side effects.
