Aspartame Warning

[Guest guest]

Here's something to think about. Usually I don't pay much attentionto this

stuff, but this one I believe could possibly be true.

his is not a joke. My daughter, a chemist with Eli Lilly, has been

>talking about this for several years and urged us to stop eating or

>drinking anything with Nutrasweet (at the time I was drinking a lot of Diet

>Pepsi). You can heed this warning, pass it on, or ignore it, whichever

>you feel you want to do. But again, this is not a joke. I am forwarding

>this just as I received 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 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 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 black 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
