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.

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. 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 o

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 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 me, 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 Hetzenbaum 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.
