ASPERTAME

January 8, 2004

Glad you brought that up. I have always had a horrible

time with aspartame. I have heard Aspartame might be bad for us but haven’t

seen any studies to prove it does anyone know of evidence for this? Would love

to post it in my group if someone does.

Thank you,

You can find a summary of the Aspartame controversy at that great urban legends site, at snopes2.com. The last time I looked, they had a variety of links as well. Personally, I think the whole thing is bunk.

ASPERTAME, is a Neuro Toxin, it kills brain cells.

January 8, 2004

Here in Holland we have a very vivid discussion about the effects of

Aspertame and other fake-sugars. We even have a kind of union. They

proved the bad effects it can have. But, like somany things, one

reacts, others don't. I used Aspertame sweets for years and cannot

say I noticed a difference since I stopped a few months ago. Believe

natural things are better than chemical. So use raw of fruit sugar

now.

All my doctors suggested avoiding it.

When the stories of apertame went around the internet I asked my neurologist and he cracked up laughing. He said there is no validity in any of it. The National MS Society also posted in there newsletter that there was nothing to the stories.

The neurologists also crack up laughing when LDN is mentioned, so that doesn't hold here.

January 8, 2004

True I understand that I just don’t mind hearing

about what works for people with immunity etc… a lot of people talk about

vitamins and supplements that seem to help through flu season etc… I

found that helpful. And I can understand people here with other medications

feeling everything is about MS and we’ve lost track of LDN that’s

understandable too.

By the way just had a horrific cold in my household right

when I started LDN and I didn’t get sick… I remember someone else

saying they noticed that with LDN, so I wonder if LDN helped me get through

that? Cool huh?

I

don’t mind the MS talk but not long ago quite a few got upset because a

few were turning this into an MS support and they didn’t want to hear

about ms.. they joined to talk about and learn about LDN.

Well a lot of doctors laugh at LDN

too… as for dropping the subject of Aspartame I a m not certain how long

you have been a member here but more than LDN gets discussed perhaps whoever

owns the group can set the rules on that. I think any positive friendly talk is

fine with me.

I agree….quackmeds.com

also has information on aspartame and the false statements about it. Remember, Diseases were around a lot longer

than aspartame. I’m sure it is

responsible for some problems like headaches etc. but I seriously doubt it has

anything to do with MS. Using common

sense is the key. Don’t freak out

and throw out everything from your cabinets because of an Email.

Here is a comment that I could not help but speak my peace on... I have done some reasonable checking into this, as both myself and my wife (who has MS) have had very discernable effects from aspartame products.

As for myself, I get very painful headaches, and unmistakably does worsen my wife's MS symptoms. About 3 years ago, my wife drank about 1.5 liters of diet soda in a 8 hour period. In the next weeks following, she had one of the worst exacerbations she had experienced since being diagnosed. Following that episode, she has refrained from any products that contain aspartame, nutra-sweet and related products, and has not experienced as severe exacerbations since.

Do some research, as the info is readily available on the web. Aspartame breaks down in heat into 4 very toxic chemicals. One of which is wood alcohol (methanol) which turns into formaldehyde and formic acid.

If you don't believe me, ask yourself these questions:

1) Why after the soda industry started using aspartame in their products, do we now have "Freshness Dating"? Sodas don't spoil - it's sugar and water...

2) Ever drink a diet soda, and rather than sweet, it had a very bitter flavor? Was it stored in a hot location for a while?

Now, if it is FDA approved as a food/sweetener, how can it be bad? Anyone ever hear that the high ranking official of the FDA at the time is now a high paid exec at Searle?

Want to know more, visit http://www.321recipes.com/aspartame.html or do a google search on "aspartame health risks".

HI

AFTER READING ALL OF THE E-MAILS THAT WERE SENT YESTERDAY, I WAS GLAD TO

SEE THAT ASPERTAME WAS LOOKED INTO. I NEVER MENT FOR IT TO TAKE

ANYTHING AWAY FROM THE LDN GROUP. I JUST WANTED PEOPLE TO BE AWARE OF

THIS SWEETENER AND MAKE UP THEIR OWN MIND WHETHER TO USE IT OR NOT.

THIS IS A GROUP THAT IS FOR LDN AND IT'S EFFECTS ON PEOPLE. I MYSELF AM

ON LDN AND DECIDED TO USE IT BECAUSE OF THE INFO O GOT FROM THIS GROUP.

I FOUND IT TO BE VERY INFORMATIVE. SO NOW THAT PEOPLE ARE AWARE OF THE

ASPERTAME CAN WE PLEASE GET BACK TO THE LDN SO IT MAY HELP OTHER PEOPLE

LIKE IT DID FOR ME.

January 13, 2004

I think that it did help you with not getting the cold. Dr. Bihari and his wife take LDN for maitenance because there is a lot of cancer in their families and they don't want to get it.
