Guest guest Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 We need to eat unprocessed and organic foods. The ONLY way to avoid aspartame and hfc is to totally avoid processed food.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Amen to that. It's amazing what people don't think about when it comes to what they eat. I had to stop a pregnant woman in my husbands practice from drinking a diet red bull. At first she wasn't listening until I told her that I am convinced that aspartame was the cause of my ms. Then my 7-year-old had to tell her not to fall for the sucralose ingredient as well because it is splenda. Sad. > > > > > >Looking to avoid aspartame?

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 I am glad to read you are finding things to eat and what not to eat. I am almost a week solid into following the modified Wahls diet and stuff. I also am trying to work with the five levels of healing. On top of that I am monitoring my ph levels thru RBTI testing. I have someone who helps me interpret the RBTI results. Let me tell you what I ate yesterday, how bad I felt, and the RBTI results told me what was wrong and how to correct it. I ate at one meal natural applesauce with organic blueberries added to it. I ate spinach and rocket ( a green leafy vegetable I found)some asparagus and a limited amount of lean beef that I believe was " grassfed " . Afterwards I was exhausted, foggy headed and generally not so good. My RBTI numbers were interesting and not so good. I just did not understand why I felt so bad when I was eating so well. The expanation was that all the foods were too " alkalining " . Applesauce and blueberries were too alkalining for me at that time. I was given suggestions from a " dolomite " chart on how to pick different vegetables and fruits that were more " ph balancing " for me. I changed it and now I feel so much better. All this care and attention just seems so bothersome but I am determined to try it - intensively for March and for 3 months after that. Wish me luck. I wish you all the best. I appreciate all the input from folks. Thank you for all the info on aspartame. I can taste aspartame in most foods when its there and I try to avoid it. Thank you for mentioning sucralose - I just read a label on pickles that had sucralose as an ingredient. I did not buy it because I figured I better check what sucralose was first. you saved me from needing to check it. Thanks. C > > Okay question. So then are we thinking that Splenda is a problem for MS? The reason I ask is my husband is also a diabetic and sugar is definatly out for him. He started using splenda 4 years ago and almost a year ago the " MS " started. I put MS is quotes as that is what we have been told is what he has but I notice that when he doesn't have dairy products he has a better day the next day. When he eats dairy he has alot of problems the next day. When he has certain foods he has more problems the next day. I have been monitoring this and noticing things that come up. I am limiting these things without his knowledge to see how they effect him. I'm the cook so it's easy for me to do it. I'm working on making a diet plan that works for him and makes him feel better even if it doesn't cure him if it helps him it's worth it. So we are limiting his dairy to extremly low amounts (we're talking less than one ounce of cheese in 3 days). He will be taking calcium > supplements to insure that he gets the calcium he needs. We will also be adding more dark leafy greens to our diet the problem there is he is not use to eating them so it will be a slow add. I have noticed that alot of MS diet seem to be leaning toward the Paleo diet but that is not suppose to be healthy for you as it misses alot of vitamines and I am concerned about the amount of fat involved in that plan. I also have to make sure that I don't let the glucose get out of hand and keep the meals balanced enough to keep me healthy as well. The grains are kept in check and within a reasonable serving size and are whole grain. Breads are again minimal. We choose things like Brown rice or wild rice over bread. When we do have a sandwhich its half a sandwich on whole grain bread with a huge bowl of veggie soup. The oils used are heart healthy oils (olive oil is the standard oil). We eat raw veggies in the form of salads. We don't eat much red meat. Maybe once > a month. Lots of fish (Deep Sea fish). Chicken is a biggie here too. Mainly chicken breast trimmed of all fat. > His glucose stays in control provided we follow these guidelines. When his glucose is in check his MS seems to be lessened as well. So is splenda a problem or is it just asparatame? > Thanks > Donna in VA > > > >________________________________ > > > >To: MSCured <mscured > > >Sent: Tuesday, March 6, 2012 9:26 AM > >Subject: RE: Re: aspartame > > > > > > > > > > > > > >I'm so glad to see this article here too - this is a REALLY important message for people to both be aware of, and to share/spread to others too.I know we all think we're 'looking after ourselves' but I'm sure that many have overlooked the asprtame factor before. It's such an important factor to bring to everyone's attention - I'm so glad to see the message here too! I posted it on my Facebook goup ('Michelangelo'S Angels') to outline the dangers for people there but didn't get the chance to also post it here. Glad you spot my finds Tom - I've meant to let you know when I've seen the articles here a day or so later before - thanks for posting them here too! I'm so glad that you see them in my group on Facebk, find them valuable too and send these little important article finds to even more people. It's great and it always makes me smile. > > > >'What we do in life, echoes through eternity.' > >MARCUS AURELIUS (121 - 180 A.D.) > > > >To: mscured > >From: nancboo@... > >Date: Tue, 6 Mar 2012 13:09:58 +0000 > >Subject: Re: aspartame > > > >Amen to that.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Check out the DVD called " Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World " by Cori Brackett and learn about how aspartame was approved by the FDA. Thank you Rumsfeld. It also contains some victims who tell their stories. www.Dorway.com is a website with Betty i who is an activist to get the poison aspartame out of the food supply. Look for phenylalanine on the labels of processed foods and if it's there, don't eat or drink it. Diet Crystal Light lemonade and other diet drinks contain phenylalane on the label but aspartame was originally approved for an additive in grain products. Aspartame contains 2 amino acids (phenylalamine and aspartic acid) and methanol-methyl ester (wood alcohol-posionous). Methanol becomes free ester alcohol when you swallow it, a real poison. Don't chew sugar-free gum or think that sugar-free candy will allow you to eat it. Blaylock speaks of aspartame as being an excitotoxin. The symptoms are often mis-diagnosed as MS.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 To my dismay (originally), my new functional neurolgist said no grains (incl. rice) and no dairy (incl. eggs) and I feel much better even though I fought to keep those foods in my diet for a long time. You can hide the greens in meatloaf, soups and smoothies. Use your imagination. I also disagree with the low fat approach because sat. fat is necessary for thyroid activity and brain health among other things. I eat sat. fat from grass-fed livestock (CLA-conjagated linoleic acid), coconut oil and olive oil. Grains turn to sugar when they break down in your body. Milk contains lactose, a sugar. Neither of them are super-foods for some people. Splenda is a chemical enfood. Tom was right, use Stevia. I have to eat small, frequent meals to keep my blood sugar level. I didn't eat enough yesterday and the reading on a glucometer (whatever those diabetic testers are called) was 49, 1 point lower than diabetes but in the range of " safe-but-watch-it " because it was considered a fasting test. I hadn't eaten yet. It was 249 last month after I cheated with a Tootsie Roll Pop and a Hershey's kiss. It made me see how dramatic a moment of self-indulgence can be! Testing has been really helpful to me instead of the guessing that I did before. I took a lot of things because of what they were supposed to do and they didn't all work for me! > > Okay question. So then are we thinking that Splenda is a problem for MS? The reason I ask is my husband is also a diabetic and sugar is definatly out for him.

I am doing really good and am following things carefully for March. C. > > > > Okay question. So then are we thinking that Splenda is a problem for MS?
