Switching from coke to water

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Try this site. How much plainer can it be? I also saw an official

statement from Coca-Cola assuring us they only used Cocaine leaves now for

flavoring, after the cocaine was extracted. See:

http://members.lycos.co.uk/thomassheils/faq.htm

Question:

" Did Coca-Cola really contain cocaine?

Yes, and in fact it still does! How? Well, since 1903, Coca-Cola has gone

through great trouble to remove the cocaine from the coca leaves that

contains it. The " decocanization " of coca leaves cannot remove all cocaine.

However, the amount of cocaine in Coca-Cola is so incredibly minute that is

cannot be easily measured, and for all practical purposes, modern Coca-Cola

is cocaine-free. "

Then look at: http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/SKO405A.html

" The answer is simple. Coke had a secret formula base made up from

processing coca leaves, the by-product of which is cocaine. Up to the

beginning of the 20th Century, the Coca-Cola creators did say that their

beverage had cocaine. And in 1903, they were taken to task by authorities

for having cocaine in their drink which for many years in the beginning, was

available as a soda fountain drink in pharmacies.

For a hundred years now, however, Coca-Cola Company has denied they ever had

cocaine and that they deny that it has cocaine now.

Heroin causes a physical reaction when used and a terrible wrenching of the

person when they seek to withdraw. Cocaine addiction, on the other hand, is

primarily subconscious. Up to 1989, when you started drinking Coke, you got

that " kick " . Some even claimed that it had some unknown medicinal way of

making you feel better. One long-time head of Coca-Cola Company contended it

helped relieve pain left-over from a childhood head injury he suffered from.

But 1989 was a turning point. As we have pointed out earlier in this series,

the secret base for Coca-Cola is made by Stepan Chemical Company, of

Northfield, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, through their Maywood Chemical

Division in New Jersey.

I once interviewed, on tape, a top official of Stepan, who admitted that

cocaine was a by-product of their processing of coca leaves for the secret

Coca-Cola base, They supply, he added, cocaine for the pharmaceutical

trade. "

There are many references to the over 8 tons of cocaine leaves imported to

use in Coca-Cola, used for flavoring. I believe in homeopathic medicine and

also believe the molecules of cocaine are in Coca-Cola, which are still

addictive. Not on the scale of crack cocaine but still, an addiction I

can't get loose of.

I also have a copy of a brochure where Coca-Cola sponsored KKK meetings. A

relative found the original when going through a grandparent's trunk after

they died. Coca-Cola is a business and there to make money, so followed the

trends of the day.

The following is an article written by researcher Markle. She is

not the only one who thinks Aspartame/NutraSweet is a dangerous

metabolic poison. A number of other researchers have formed similar

opinions.

Article written by Markle,

http://www.nancymarkle.com/

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 andsystemic 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 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 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 of the aspartame, those with

systemic lupus usually become asymptomatic. 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, " 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

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. 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 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 is the

aspartame converts to formaldehyde in the retina of the eye.

Formaldehyde is grouped in the same class 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 defect.. 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 of 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 a

relative 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 stimulate 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+ countries worldwide. Fortunately, we had

speakers and ambassadors at the conference from different nations

who had 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 MONSANT0, 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 Desert Storm troops (remember heat can

liberate the methanol from the aspartame at 86 degrees F.). Diet

drinks sat in the 120 degree p. 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 Elsa,

pediatrician professor - genetics, at Emory 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 of 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.
