Guest guest Posted November 11, 2002 Report Share Posted November 11, 2002 Hal, As always I'm interested in your commentary. Doesn't inspire much confidence in our FDA. --Kim From: " Elena Upton " Date: Thu Jun 6, 2002 10:23 pm Subject: ***ASPARTAME: ***Recent factual documentation on ***aspartame. FYI Joyce Today we have at least 5 aspartame detoxification centers in the US Passing on this current information on the dangers of aspartame, and the history of how this deadly neurotoxin was allowed into the US food market. Subject: Re: GOVERNMENT RESPONSE - NEW ZEALAND Dear Trish, Please forward this note to Health Minister Annette King but be sure to remove all personal notes on this post: Honorable Annette King Minister of Health New Zealand Dear Ms. King: I am answering your note to Ms. Trish Jardine of May 28, 2002. I am the founder of Mission Possible International, a worldwide volunteer force in 50 states and 22 countries of the world warning all consumers off the deadly chemical poison, aspartame. You say, " I would like to reiterate the comments in my previous correspondence that, before any food additives are approved for use, the Government has to be satisfied that the additive is both needed and safe to use. " Mrs. King, there may have been a time that the FDA in this country was interested in safe food and drugs, at least in the case of aspartame but that's not the way it works today. Ed Horton, Editor of the prestigious Lancet, wrote in May, 2001 that the FDA of this country takes money from industry and endangers the lives of the people. They go to work for the FDA to be bureaucrats so they can leave as plutocrats. They are known in this country as the attack dog of industry. They have also been called Monsanto's Washington Branch Office. Back when Searle, the original manufacturer of aspartame, was trying to get it approved, the FDA was still intact. They not only knew aspartame was not safe but they wanted the company indicted for fraud. However, because of the power of the manufacturer both U.S. Prosecutors hired on with the defense team and the statute of limitations expired. Those who help pharmaceutical companies are usually rewarded exceptionally well. Sam Skinner was one of those Prosecutors and he became Secretary of Transportation so he could then squelch the cries of the pilots having grand mal seizures in the cockpits of commercial airliners from this seizure triggering neurotoxic drug, losing both their health and occupations. Later on he became Chief of Staff under President Bush, one of the highest positions in the Whitehouse. After 16 years Searle still had not been able to get aspartame on the market because no FDA Commissioner would approve it. Searle hired Don Rumsfeld who said he would call in his markers and get it approved. He had absolutely no concern for the safety of aspartame. So the day after President Reagan took office he appointed Dr. Arthur Hull to do the deadly deed. So the FDA set up of a Board of Inquiry of the finest scientists they had to offer and told Dr. aspartame had not been proven safe and triggered brain tumors. Therefore, the petition was revoked and he could not approve it. But Dr. was there to approve aspartame so he over-ruled the Board of Inquiry and approved it anyway. Then he went to work for the PR Agency of the manufacturer and has refused to talk to the press ever since, and that includes as late as 3 years ago when Fox News went to his home for an explanation. You can hear the 12 minute newsclip that was on Washington, D.C. TV on www.dorway.com Don Rumsfeld today is Secretary of Defense of the United States. Need I say more. Since aspartame was approved in l981 it has stayed in the news as the public has been outraged at being poisoned. According to Constantine who wrote NutraPoison with 100 references on www.dorway.com aspartame was actually listed with the pentagon in an inventory of prospective biochemical warfare weapons submitted to Congress. And it works just like one because it is made up of three neurotoxins that breaks down to a witches brew of toxins including diketopiperazine, the brain tumor agent that triggered brain tumors in original studies. After the National Soft Drink Association wrote 30 pages which became part of the Congressional Record (on web) about it's dangers and the fact that it decomposes at 86 degrees, the pop companies with full knowledge sent it to the Persian Gulf to sit in the 120 degree Arabian sun as long as 8 weeks at a time on pallets. To date at least 40,000 of the troops have perished. In one support group in Texas, there are 70 vets with brain tumors. Friendly fire killed more than the enemy! Aspartame is also a chemical hypersensitization agent so it also interacted with the vaccines given to the troops. Aspartame destroys the central nervous system and mimics MS and causes Lou Gehrigs symptoms. A new study on Desert Storm Syndrome has proven Lou Gehrigs. As victims suffered neurodegenerative diseases, had seizures, went blind, etc. Senator Metzenbaum decided to have congressional hearings. However, Senator Orrin Hatch said no to them until l985. There were three congressional hearings but senators like Hatch were paid by Monsanto who bought Searle in l985. And Hatch did a hatchet job so a bill Metzenbaum wrote never got out of committee that would have put a moratorium on aspartame and had the National Institutes of Health do independent studies on the problems they were seeing in the public and from post marketing surveillance reports such as seizures, behavioral problems, drug interaction and what aspartame does to the fetus. It was admitted in hearings that the FDA was getting so many complaints they were referring victims to the AIDS Hotline. By l986 the Community Nutrition Institute in Washington, D.C. had petitioned the FDA to ban aspartame because so many were going blind and having seizures. The FDA put in the position to protect the public or protect Monsanto said no to public safety and yes to loyalty to Monsanto. Be sure of one thing, the FDA has no interest whatsoever today in protecting the public. Their own toxicologist, Dr. Gross, who tried to prevent its approval told Congress that " beyond a shadow of a doubt aspartame can trigger brain tumors " and " violated the Delaney Amendment. " The Delaney Amendment forbid putting anything in food or drugs you knew would cause cancer. His last words to Congress were " And if the FDA violates its own laws who is left to protect the public? " Obviously, we have no protector. The other evening Jennings did an expose on the pharmaceutical industry. One doctor said when a new drug is marketed they wait a year to prescribe it to patients, and wait 5 years to prescribe it to family members. Keep in mind that aspartame is a drug and interacts with just about every drug used to treat the problems it causes. So today no drug on the market is safe with 2/3rds of the American public and 40% of children consuming this neurotoxin. H. J. , M.D. has now declared Aspartame Disease to be a global plague and has published a 1038 page medical text which goes into the implications of marketing a chemical poison for human consumption. It is 1038 pages of diseases and symptoms triggered by this toxin and has a chapter on brain tumors and other tumors, drug interactions and how to treat a patient who has used aspartame. Aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic, www.aspartameispoison.com or www.sunsentpress.com The FDA in this country lies and denies. Flooded with complaints on aspartame they decided in l996 they would really show their loyalty to Monsanto by granting blanket of this neurotoxin to be used like sugar. In order to do this they had to show a decline of complaints so they said they would no longer take complaints on aspartame. Well that keeps more from coming in, but how are you going to make them decline. The FDA started throwing out hundreds of aspartame complaints. Their excuse was it was required because they were changing their bookkeeping system. They must have stayed up all night to think that one up. This is the same FDA who approved Tamoxifen. That's the drug they give to stop the spread of cancer. Of course, a Duke Study shows it backfires and gives you cancer. And then the World Health Organization declared Tamoxifen a carcinogen. To give a carcinogen to stop the spread of cancer is like playing Russian Roulette with an automatic weapon. Then they approved Celebrex by Searle. You see aspartame hardens the synovial fluids and causes agonizing joint pain. So Searle thought they could make more billions on the agony they caused and made this drug to treat joint pain. Of course, in the first 13 weeks on the market 10 people died. Don't look for the FDA to recall it. They are not interested in safe drugs. Searle showed an editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association the first 6 months of research and he wrote a glowing report. Then he happened to be visiting the FDA for an arthritis meeting and saw the last 6 months of research and all the problems. And he was furious but he had already published the report. Perhaps you were looking for integrity from a manufacturer of aspartame? Mrs. King, aspartame is so dangerous it even damages the cardiac conduction system and causes sudden death. It also interacts with cardiac medication. So people are now just dropping dead from aspartame. And if you think ANZFA is any better think again. They have received complaints on aspartame for years and Dr. has written them personally. So what do they do about it, knowing its a deadly neurotoxin, they approve a clone that the FDA won't even approve - Neotame. It has only been approved in Australia and New Zealand by your great ANZFA who I have written repeatedly. They have no comment except to say they have done extensive investigation. Extensive investigation on these short term studies on Neotame - how extensive could it - perhaps an hour and a half? Don't write form letters and hope for imagined investigations. The people of Australia and New Zealand need your left to stop this mass poisoning. We are now taking case histories for class action on aspartame and facing what may be one of the largest plagues in world history. 500 Reports have been sent to Brussels with the hope that aspartame can be banned in Europe, while ANZFA approves a more potent version. Make something happen, Mrs. King. The first thing is educate yourself on the subject. Monsanto knowing litigation is coming sold NutraSweet and merged with Pharmacia, but it won't help them. Read Dr. Woodrow Monte's report titled Aspartame: Methanol and the Public Health, www.dorway.com/nomarkle.html He is now living in New Zealand and can be reached at woody.monte@... Then contact Dr. Cabot, Mission Possible Australia, doctorcabot@..., and cabot@... She is a brilliant physician who specialized in OB-GYN and has written books and articles on the liver. She lectures on NutraSweet all over the world and can explain to you how deadly it is. I would also contact Wheeler, Mission Possible New Zealand at chrisw@... who has written in great detail on the subject. Also, contact Ziliani, Mission Possible Australia and bring to this meeting Trish Jardine, a victim and now part of Mission Possible New Zealand. Once you have a meeting with these people you will know how deadly aspartame is. Monsanto sold part of NutraSweet to Ajinomoto. If you really want to know the details of the fiasco of aspartame approval read my letter to them completely documented. http://www.dorway.com/bittertruth.text Remember nothing is going to happen unless you make it happen. I ask that you help to save the people of New Zealand and Australia. ANZFA will never do anything of its own accord, we've tried for years. They know the score and could care less. Today we have at least 5 aspartame detoxification centers in the US and there are 100,000 web sites warning consumers. The Aspartame Toxicity Center documenting the horror stories is at www.holisticmed.com/aspartame There are now four support groups on line for the victims. Within about a week we will have the entire Board of Inquiry report scanned into web along with one of the congressional records and the famed Dr. Olney's testimony to the Board of Inquiry. Dr. Olney is probably one of the most renowned neuroscientists on the planet today and founded the field of neuroscience called excitotoxicity. He did the studies on aspartic acid, a component of aspartame in l970 and found that it caused lesions in the brains of mice. He told Searle but they did not tell the FDA until after it was approved. Neurosurgeon Blaylock, M.D., wrote the book on excitotoxicity - Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills, www.amazon.com it's all a matter of public record. And its all at your disposal. Remember the people of New Zealand need you, and nothing is going to happen unless you make it happen. Respectfully, Mrs. Betty i, Founder Mission Possible International 9270 River Club Parkway Duluth, Georgia 30097 www.dorway.com 770 242-2599. Knowledge is power... only if you know what to do with it. I'd rather be wise.
