This message was forwarded to me from a friend.
Please be patient in reading, you may be surprised who was originally behind this altered chemical. . . . . .


In October of 2001, my sister started getting very sick. She had
stomach spasms and was having a hard time getting around. Walking a major chore. It took everything just to get out of bed;
she was in so much pain.

By March 2002, she had undergone several tissue and muscle biopsies and
taking 24 various prescription medications. The doctors could not
determine what was wrong. In so much pain, and so
sick...she just knew she was dying.

She put her house, bank accounts, life insurance, etc., in her oldest
daughters name, and
made sure that her family was secure. She also
wanted her last hooray, so she planned a nearly handicapped trip to FL
for March 22nd.

March 19th I called her to check on her recent tests, and
she said they didn't find anything, but thought she had
MS.

I recalled a note a friend had E-mailed me and I asked my
sister if she drank diet soda? She told me that she did. As a matter
of fact, she was getting ready to crack one open that moment... I told
her not to open it, and to stop drinking the diet soda !!! I E-mailed
her the article my friend, a lawyer, had sent. My sister called me within 32 hours and told me she had stopped drinking the diet soda AND she could walk!!!! The muscle spasms gone. she didn't feel 100% but she sure
felt a lot better. She told me she was going to her doctor with this
article and would call me when she got home.

Well, she called me, and said her doctor was amazed! He is going to
call all of his MS patients to find out if they consumed artificial
sweeteners of any kind...

In a nutshell, she was being poisoned by the Aspartame in the diet
soda... and literally dying a slow and miserable death.

When she got to FL March 22nd, all she had to take was one pill, and
that was a pill for the Aspartame poisoning! She is well on her way to
a complete recovery and she is walking!!! No wheelchair!!!

This article saved her life:
If it says "SUGAR FREE" on the label,
DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!!!

I have spent several days lecturing at the WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL
CONFERENCE on "ASPARTAME," marketed as 'NutraSweet,' 'Equal,' and
'Spoonful.'

In the keynote address by the EPA, it was announced that in the United
States in 2001 there is an epidemic of multiple sclerosis and systemic
lupus. It was difficult to determine exactly what toxin was causing this
to be rampant.

I stood up and said that I was there to lecture on exactly that
subject. I will explain why Aspartame is so dangerous: When the
temperature of this sweetener 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, among other
conditions, multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus.

Many people were being diagnosed in error. Although multiple sclerosis
is not a death sentence.. methanol toxicity is!

Systemic lupus has become almost as rampant as multiple sclerosis,
especially with Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi drinkers. The victim usually
does not know that the Aspartame is the culprit. He or she continues
its use; irritating the lupus to such a degree that it may become a
life-threatening condition. We have seen patients with systemic lupus
become asymptotic, once taken off diet sodas.

In cases of those diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, (when in reality,
the disease is methanol toxicity), most of the symptoms disappear.
We've seen many cases where vision loss returned and hearing loss
improved markedly.

This also applies to cases of tinnitus and fibromyalgia.

During a lecture, I said, "If you are using ASPARTAME (NutraSweet,
Equal, Spoonful, etc.) and you suffer from fibromyalgia symptoms,
spasms, shooting, pains, numbness in your legs, cramps, vertigo,
dizziness,headaches, tinnitus, joint pain, unexplainable depression,
anxiety attacks, slurred speech, blurred vision, or memory loss...you
probably have
ASPARTAME poisoning!"

People were jumping up during the lecture saying, "I have some of these
symptoms."

Is it reversible?" Yes!
STOP drinking diet sodas and be alert for Aspartame on food labels!
Many products are fortified with it!!!

This is a serious problem. Dr. Espart (one of my speakers) remarked
that so many people seem to be symptomatic for MS and during his recent
visit to a hospice; a nurse stated six of her friends, who were
heavy Diet Coke addicts, had been diagnosed with MS. This is beyond
coincidence!

Diet soda is NOT a diet product! It is a chemically altered, multiple
SODIUM (salt) and ASPARTAME containing product that actually makes you
crave carbohydrates. It is far more likely to make you GAIN weight!

These products also contain formaldehyde, which stores in the fat cells,
particularly in the hips and thighs. Formaldehyde is an absolute toxin
and is used primarily to preserve "tissue specimens."

Many products we use every day contain this chemical but we SHOULD NOT
store it IN our body!!!

Dr. H. J. Roberts stated in his lectures that once free of the "diet
products" and with no significant increase in exercise; his patients
lost an average of 19 pounds over a trial period.

Aspartame is especially dangerous for diabetics. We found that some
physicians, who believed that they had a patient with retinopathy, in
fact, had symptoms caused by Aspartame. The Aspartame drives the blood
sugar out of control. Thus diabetics may suffer acute memory loss due
to the fact that aspartic acid and phenylalanine are NEUROTOXIC when
taken without the other amino acids necessary for a good balance.
Treating diabetes is all about BALANCE. Especially with diabetics, the
Aspartame passes the blood/brain barrier and it then deteriorates the
neurons of the brain; causing various levels of brain damage, seizures,
depression, manic depression, panic attacks, uncontrollable anger and
rage.

Consumption of Aspartame causes these same symptoms in non-diabetics too.

Documentation and observation also reveal that thousands of children
diagnosed with ADD and AHD have had complete turnarounds in their
behavior when these chemicals were removed from their diet. So
called "behavior modification prescription drugs" (Ritalin and others)
are no longer needed. Truth be told, they were never NEEDED in the
first place!

Most of these children were being "poisoned" daily with the
very foods that were "better for them than sugar."

It is also suspected that the Aspartame in thousands of pallets of diet
Coke and diet Pepsi consumed by men and women fighting in the Gulf War,
may be partially to blame for the well-known Gulf War Syndrome.

Dr. Roberts warns that it can cause birth defects, i.e., mental
retardation, if taken at the time of conception and during early
pregnancy. Children are especially at risk for neurological disorders
and should NEVER be given artificial sweeteners. There are many
different case
histories to relate of children suffering grand mal seizures and other
neurological disturbances due to the use of NutraSweet.

Unfortunately, it is not always easy to convince people that Aspartame
is to blame for their child's illness. Stevia, which, which is a sweet
herb, NOT A MANUFACTURED ADDITIVE, helps in the metabolism of sugar,
which would be ideal for diabetics. It has now been approved as a
dietary supplement by the FDA. It is known that for many years the FDA
outlawed this true sweet food," due to their loyalty to MONSANTO
Chemical Company."

Books:

EXCITOTOXINS: THE TASTE THAT KILLS written by Dr. Russell Blayblock
(Health Press 1-800-643-2665)
AND: DEFENSE AGAINST ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE
- written by DR H. J. Roberts, also a diabetic specialist.

These doctors will soon be posting with case
histories the deadly effects of Aspartame on the Internet. According
to the Conference of the American College of Physicians, "We are talking
about a plague of neurological diseases directly caused by the use of
this deadly poison."

the problem: There were Congressional Hearings when
Aspartame was included 100 different products and strong objection was
made concerning it's use. Since this initial hearing, there have been
two subsequent hearings and still, nothing has been done. The drug and
chemical lobbies have very deep pockets. Sadly, MONSANTO'S patent on
Aspartame has EXPIRED!!

now over 5,000 products on the market that contain this deadly
chemical and there will be thousands more introduced.

Everybody wants a "piece of the Aspartame pie." I assure you that
MONSANTO, the creator of Aspartame, knows how deadly it is. And isn't
it ironic that MONSANTO funds, among others, the American Diabetes
Association, the American Dietetic Association and the Conference of the
American College of Physicians? This has been recently exposed in the
New York Times. These cannot criticize any additives or convey their
link to MONSANTO because they take money from the food industry and are
required to endorse their products.

Senator Howard Metzenbaum wrote and presented a bill that would require
label warnings on products containing Aspartame, especially regarding
pregnant women, children and infants. The bill would also institute
independent studies on the known dangers and the problems existing in
the general population regarding seizures, changes in brain chemistry,
neurological changes and behavioral symptoms. The bill was killed.

This little note also came. . .check out the date. Many things can be argued either way by manipulated research or writings. You check it out for yourself. I do know that that Dr. Blaylock does have research and evidence on the matter AND continues to speak about it. And I know whenever I have accidently ingested the stuff--I get down right sick! So if that is in the short term. . .what would it be in the long term? Everyone's body reacts differently to toxins. Some immediately; some it takes years to see the lethal results.

Any way you prefer to look at it. . .nothing altered from it's natural state is good to put in the body--it just can't recognize it. It is a toxin. If you want something sweet try fresh fruit freshly picked from a local garden; better yet, pick it from yours.

What poison are you training your tastebuds for?

March 2001

If you search the web for "aspartame" (also called NutraSweet) you will find dozens of websites devoted to the perceived horrors of this sugar substitute (Actually, you have to search for the misspelling, "asparatame" to find most of them). All of this seems to go back to a study done in 1996 where the increase in brain tumors was found to correlate with the increase in aspartame use. That study did not show any causal link, only that both brain tumors and aspartame use seemed to both be increasing at the same time. That correlation has since been broken as brain tumor rates have leveled off and aspartame use has continued to increase.

Around December of 1999, a letter started making the rounds of the Internet that claims that almost every ailment known to man is caused by aspartame. It was supposedly written by a Betty Martini who was supposedly lecturing at the World Environmental Conference. A second version of the letter is identical to the first but the author has been changed to a Nancy Markle. In this letter, aspartame is blamed for hundreds of aliment including multiple sclerosis. The title of the article claims that the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation and others are suing the makers of aspartame. However, the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation has disavowed any knowledge of a problem with aspartame and any relationship with the author. The letter also claims that it causes "memory loss, confusion, and severe vision loss" among diabetics but that has been debunked by the American Diabetes Association.

The FDA has attested to the safety of the chemical and if you check the scholarly studies listed at the following site http://www.aspartame.org/ you will not find any showing significant problems with its use. The worst that has been found are occasional headaches. The "research" on the Aspartame Horror sites is, for the most part, anecdotal. The UrbanLegends.com website does a really good job debunking this warning and the supposed facts it contains. It is also debunked at the Junk Science website.

Thank you for the articles. I do believe it and we must know these artificial sweetners are chemical products. Now there are 4 cans of diet soda in my closet on their way to the trashcan.

Thank you Jodi.
I have a son, who becuase of his handicap limited physically. He gains weight easily and all his therapists keep pushing diet everything and now I have trouble convincing my 11 year old that this stuff is bad. I need to show my son this.

Crud! I love diet Pop! I just went and dumped my diet Mt Dew...

I should have known, though. Nobody actually likes the taste of diet soda, they just get used to it. Of course it's not good for you!

I remember 20 years ago - give or take - there being a couple of news stories about the harmful effects of aspartame. The studies these news reports were referencing had been done in Europe. The side effects they reported on were epiletic-like seizures. To this day, I remember that and will not touch the blue stuff. This reporting was done on the mainstream media networks, but was quickly squelched.

I honestly don't know about aspartame causing all those ailments, but I am totally convinced that when we put chemicals in our body that our body will react to them.

Well, who knows unless you've experienced it specifically yourself. I have seen a variety of symptoms from different animals and different people, often with the same toxin. Of course there are some that are very specific in the reactions in the body. Each has genetic, environmental, etc. weeknesses that may not be the same as another. A toxin is a toxin. A body will either store it or try to get rid of it; either way it kills and damages cells. The weakest part is the greatest attack.

Thanks for the info, got to tell a friend of mine . He just found out he has diabetes and switched to diet pop. Over the weekend he had a seizure he said he felt dizzy, then lost his hearing and passed out in a resturaunt. He was rushed to the hospital and spent all night getting tests, of course nobody could find out what it was, bet it was the pop. I told him that stuff is bad for you. Maybe he will listen now.
