Fw: Diet soda (just passing it on)

[Guest guest]

>> Important Medical Information....it's very informative!>> ``````````````````````````````````````````````--gypsy``>>>> 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>> daughters 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 FL>> (basically in a wheelchair) ! for March 22nd.>>>> On March 19th 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 th! at 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 and >> told>> 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 she sure 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, a nd 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 FL March 22nd, 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 conditions, 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 lu! pus 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, (when in reality,> the>> disease is methanol toxicity), 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) rem! arked> 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, w hich stores in the fat >> cells,>> particularly in the hips and thighs. Formaldehyde is an absolute toxin> and>> is 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. 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 po! unds 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 blood>> sugar 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 barrier and it then deteriorates the neurons of> the>> brain; causing various levels of brain damage, seizures, depression,> manic>> depression, panic attacks, unc! ontrollable 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 AHD 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. 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 due to the use of NutraSweet.>>>> Unfortunately, it is not always easy to convince people that Aspartame >> is>> to blame for their child's illness. Stevia, which, which is a sweet >> herb,>> NOT A MANUFACTURED ADDITIVE, helps in th! e metabolism of sugar, which>> would be ideal for diabetics. It has now been approved as a dietary>> supplement by the FDA. It is known that for many years the FDA outlawed>> this true sweet food," due to their loyalty to MONSANTO Chemical> Company.">>>> Books on this subject are available:>>>> EXCITOTOXINS: THE TASTE THAT KILLS written by Dr. Blayblock>> (Health Press 1-800-643-2665) AND: DEFENSE AGAINST ALZHEIMER'S DI!>> SEASE-written by DR H. J. , also a diabetic specialist.< FONT>> lang=0 style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff" face="Times New Roman">> color=#000000 size=3 PTSIZE="12" FAMILY="SERIF" BACK="#ffffff">>>>> These two doctors will soon be posting a position paper with case>> histories on the deadly effects of Aspartame on the Internet. According> to>> the Conference of the American College of Physicians, "We are 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 it's 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 Aspart! ame 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 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.>>>> & ! nbsp;Senator 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!!!!>>
