Aspartame scare, Not necessarily RLS- but might have a bearing on it.

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 coverts 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 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, '1Could you tell me why so

many people seem to be coming down with MS?11 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 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 dmgs 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 atients 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-). Dr. H.J. ,

diabetic specialist and world expert on aspartame poisoning, has also

written a book entitled " DEFENSE AGAINST ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE "

(1-). 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 Dessert 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 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!!!!!l!

Senator Hetzenbaum wrote a bill that would have wamed 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.
