In October of 2001, my sister started getting very sick. She had stomach spasms and she was having a hard time getting around. Walking was a major chore. It took everything she had just to get out of bed; she was in so much pain.By March 2002, she had undergone several tissue and muscle biopsies and was on 24 various prescription medications. The doctors could not determine what was wrong with her. She was in so much pain, and so
sick.she just knew she was dying. She put her house, bank accounts,life insurance, etc., in her oldest daughter's name, and made sure that her younger children were to be taken care of. She also wanted her last hooray, so she planned a trip to Florida(basically in a wheelchair) for March 22nd.On March 19 I called her to ask how her most recent tests went, and she said they didn't find anything on the test, but they believe she had MS.I recalled an article a friend of mine e-mailed to me and I asked my sister if she drank diet soda? She told me that she did. As a matter
of fact, she was getting ready to crack one open that moment. I told her not to open it, and to stop drinking the diet soda!I e-mailed her the article my friend, a lawyer, had sent.My sister called me within 32 hours after our phone conversation andtold me she had stopped drinking the diet soda AND she could walk! The muscle spasms went away. She said she didn't feel 100% but shesure felt a lot better. She told me she was going to her doctor with this article and would call me when she got home.Well, she called me, and said her doctor was amazed! He is going to
call all of his MS patients to find out if they consumed artificial sweeteners of any kind.In a nutshell, she was being poisoned by the Aspartame in the diet soda...and literally dying a slow and miserable death. When she got to Florida March 22, all she had to take was one pill,and that was a pill for the Aspartame poisoning! She is well on her
way to a complete recovery.And she is walking! No wheelchair! This article saved her life.
If it says 'SUGAR FREE' on the label; DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT! 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, it was announced that in the United

States in 2001 there is an epidemic of multiple sclerosis and systemic

lupus. It was difficult to determine exactly what toxin was causing

this to be rampant.

I stood up and said that I was there to lecture on exactly that subject.

I will explain why Aspartame is so dangerous: When the temperature of

this sweetener exceeds 86 degrees F, the wood alcohol in ASPARTAME

converts 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, among other condit ions,

multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus. Many people were being

diagnosed in error. Although multiple sclerosis is not a death

sentence, Methanol toxicity is!

Systemic lupus has become almost as rampant as multiple sclerosis,

especially with Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi drinkers. The victim usually

does not know that the Aspartame is the culprit. He or she continues

its use; irritating the lupus to such a degree that it may become a

life-threatening condition.

We have seen patients with systemic lupus become asymptotic, once

taken off diet sodas.

In cases of those diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, most of the

symptoms disappear. We've seen many cases where vision loss returned

and hearing loss improved markedly.

This also applies to cases of tinnitus and fibromyalgia.

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, unexplainable depression,

anxiety attacks, slurred speech, blurred vision, or memory loss you

probably have ASPARTAME poisoning!'

People were jumping up during the lecture saying, 'I have some of

these symptoms. Is it reversible?'

Yes! Yes! Yes! STOP drinking diet sodas and be alert for Aspartame on

food labels! Many products are fortified with it! This is a serious

problem.

Dr. Espart (one of my speakers) remarked that so many people seem to

be symptomatic for MS and during his recent visit to a hospice, a

nurse stated that six of her friends, who were heavy Diet Coke

addicts, had all been diagnosed with MS. This is beyond coincidence!

Diet soda is NOT a diet product! It is a chemically altered, multiple

SODIUM (salt) and ASPARTAME containing product that actually makes you

crave carbohydrates. It is far more likely to make you GAIN weight!

These products also contain formaldehyde, which stores in the fat

cells, particularly in the hips and thighs. Formaldehyde is an

absolute toxin andis used primarily to preserve 'tissue specimens.'

Many products we use every day contain this chemical but we SHOULD NOT

store it IN our body!

Dr. H. J. Roberts stated in his lectures that once free of the 'diet

products' and with no significant increase in exercise; his patients

lost an average of 19 pounds over a trial period.

Aspartame is especially dangerous for diabetics.

We found that some physicians, who believed that they had a patient

with retinopathy, in fact, had symptoms caused by Aspartame.

The Aspartame drives the bloodsugar out of control. Thus diabetics

may suffer acute memory loss due to the fact that aspartic acid and

phenylalanine are NEUROTOXIC when taken without the other amino acids

necessary for a good balance.

Treating diabetes is all about BALANCE. Especially with diabetics, the

Aspartame passes the blood/brain barrierand it then deteriorates the

neurons of the brain; causing various levels of brain damage,

seizures, depression, manic depression, panic attacks, uncontrollable

anger and rage.

Consumption of Aspartame causes these same symptoms in non-diabetics as

well.

Documentation and observation also reveal that thousands of children

diagnosed with ADD and ADHD have had complete turnarounds in their

behavior when these chemicals have been removed from their diet. So

called 'behavior modification prescription drugs' (Ritalin and others)

are no longer needed. Truth be told, they were never NEEDED in the

first place! Most of these children were being 'poisoned' on a daily

basis with the very foods that were 'better for them than sugar.'

It is also suspected that the Aspartame in thousands of pallets of

diet Coke and diet Pepsi consumed by men and women fighting in the

Gulf War, may be partially to blame for the well-known Gulf War

Syndrome.

Dr. Roberts warns that it can cause birth defects, i.e. mental

retardation, if taken at the time of conception and during early

pregnancy.

Children are especially at risk for neurological disorders and should

NEVER be given artificial sweeteners. There are many different case

histories to relate of children suffering grand mal seizures and other

neurological disturbances talking about a plague of neurological

diseases directly caused by the use of this deadly poison.'

Herein lies the problem:

There were Congressional Hearings when Aspartame was included 100

different products and strong objection was made concerning its use.

Since this initial hearing, there have been two subsequent hearings,

and still nothing has been done. The drug and chemical lobbies have

very deep pockets.

Sadly, MONSANTO'S patent on Aspartame has EXPIRED!

There are now over 5,000 products on the market that contain this

deadly chemical and there will be thousands more introduced.

Everybody wants a 'piece of the Aspartame pie.' I assure you that

MONSANTO, the creator of Aspartame, knows how deadly it is.

And isn't it ironic that MONSANTO funds, among others, the American

Diabetes Association, the American Dietetic Association and the

Conference of the American College of Physicians?

This has been recently exposed in the New York Times.

These [organizations] cannot criticize any additives or convey their

link to MONSANTO because they take money from the food industry and

are required to endorse their products.

Senator Howard Metzenbaum wrote and presented a bill that would

require label warnings on products containing Aspartame, especially

regarding pregnant women, children and infants. The bill would also

institute independent studies on the known dangers and the problems

existing in the general population regarding seizures, changes in

brain chemistry, neurological changes and behavioral symptoms.

The bill was killed.

It is known that the powerful drug and chemical lobbies are

responsible for this, letting loose the hounds of disease and death on

an unsuspecting and uninformed public. Well, you're Informed now! YOU

HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW!
