Aspartame Poisoning/Debra B

[Guest guest]

I am not sure if anyone has seen this but I thought I would pass it on. I found

it to be intersting reading and has really gotten me to think about it.

My Good Friends - have you heard of aspartame being a POISON<

What type of sugar substitute can you use that is

safe??????????????????????????????????????

SWEET POISON! A MUST READ!

In October of 2001, my sister started getting very sick. She had stomach spasms

and she was having a hard time getting around.

Walking was a major chore. It took everything she had just to get out of bed;

she was in so much pain.

By March 2002, she had undergone several tissue and muscle biopsies and was on

24 various prescription medications. The doctors could not determine what was

wrong with her. She was 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 daughter's

name, and made sure that her younger children were to be taken care of.

She also wanted her last hooray, so she planned a trip to Florida (basically in

a wheelchair) for March 22nd.

On March 19 I called her to ask how her most recent tests went, and she said

they didn't find anything on the test, but they believe she had MS. I recalled

an article a friend of mine e-mailed to 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

article my friend, a lawyer, had sent.

My sister called me within 32 hours after our phone conversation and told me she

had stopped drinking the diet soda AND she could walk!

The muscle spasms went away. She said 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 Florida March 22, 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 'Nutra Sweet,'

'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, 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 (Nutra Sweet, 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! Yes! 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 that

six of her friends, who were heavy Diet Coke addicts, had all 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. 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 as well.

Documentation and observation also reveal that thousands of children diagnosed

with ADD and ADHD have had complete turnarounds in their behavior when these

chemicals have been 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' on a daily basis 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. 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 talking about a plague of

neurological diseases directly caused by the use of this deadly poison.'

Herein lies the problem: There were Congressional Hearings when Aspartame was

included in 100 different products and strong objection was made concerning its

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! There are 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 [organizations] 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 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.

It is known that the powerful drug and chemical lobbies are responsible for

this, letting loose the hounds of disease and death on an unsuspecting and

uninformed public. Well, you're informed now!

YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW!

Please print this out and/or e-mail To your family And friends.

They have a right to know too!
