WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL CONFERENCE and the MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS FOUNDATION F.D.A.

ISSUING FOR COLLUSION WITH MONSANTO

Article written by Markle (1120197)

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, 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 people

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

as multiple sclerosis, especially in 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 cases 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

asymptomatic. Unfortunately, we can not 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 " 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, 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 son 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 MS? 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 MS. This is beyond coincidence.

Here is the problem. There were Congressional Hearings in which aspartame

was included in 100 different products. Since this initial hearing, there

have been two subsequent hearings, but to no avail. Nothing as 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. stated that when he

got patients off aspartame, their average weight loss was 19 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 phenylalanine are

neurotoxic without the other amino acids found in protein. Thus it goes

past the blood brain barrier and deteriorates the neurons of the brain. Dr.

Blaylock, neurosurgeon, said, " The ingredients stimulates the neurons

of the brain to death, causing brain damage of varying degrees. Dr. Blaylock

has written a book entitled " EXCITOTOXINS: THE TASTE THAT KILLS " (Health

Press 1-800-643-2665). Dr. H.J. , diabetic specialist and world

expert on aspartame poisoning, has also written a book entitled " DEFENSE

AGAINST ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE " (1-800-814-9800). Dr. 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. 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. 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 the American College of Physicians,

doctors admitted that they did not know. They had wondered why seizures

were rampant (the phenylalanine in aspartame breaks down the seizure

threshold and depletes serotonin, which causes manic depression,

panic attacks, rage and violence).

Just before the Conference, I received a FAX from Norway, asking for a

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 that

you help too. Print this article out and warn everyone you know. Take

anything that contains aspartame back to the store. Take the " NO ASPARTAME

TEST " and 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 can not 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 all 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 an aspartame product. Several thousand pallets of diet

drinks were shipped to the Dessert Storm troops. (Remember heat can liberate

the methanol from the aspartame at 86 degrees F). 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. says " consuming aspartame at the time of

conception can cause birth defects " . The phenylalanine concentrates in the

placenta, causing mental retardation, according to Dr. Louis Elsas,

Pediatrician Professor - Genetics, at Emery University in his testimony

before Congress.

In the original lab tests, animals developed brain tumors (phenylalanine

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, which helps in the metabolism of

sugar, which would be ideal for diabetics, has now been approved as a dietary

supplement by the F.D.A. For years, the F.D.A. has outlawed this sweet food

because of their loyalty to MONSANTO.

If it says " SUGAR FREE " on the label-- DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!!!!!

Senator 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). It 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 the 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.

What follows is an explanation from Betty i, the person who actually

wrote the piece above, as to the history of the piece. Note how one result of

the general diffusion of the " Markle Post " was that the media, in keeping

with the public relations campaign on the part of the Monsanto Corporation -

the owners of NutraSweet - set out to malign the as-yet-to-be-identified

Markle, and aspartame victims and activists everywhere, in a vain

attempt to cover up their crimes as wanton poisoners of the unsuspecting

public. Included in this letter is a description of how the FDA denied the

existence of the World Environmental Conference held at City State

University in 1995, even though they had a clear connection to that event.
