Subject: Aspartame Disease!

WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL CONFERENCE and the MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS FOUNDATION & FDA

IS SUING FOR COLLUSION WITH MONSANTO.

Article written by Betty i

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 I

was there to lecture on exactly that subject.

When the temperature of Aspartame exceeds 86 degrees F, the wood alcohol in

ASPARTAME CONVERTS TO FROMALDEHYDE 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 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 asymptotic.

Unfortunately, we cannot 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 to product usage! We

have a very serious problem. Even a stranger came up to Dr. Espisto, (one

of my speakers) and myself and said, " Could you tell me why so many people

seem to be coming down with MS? " During a visit to a hospice, a nurse aid

that six of her friends, who were heavy Diet Coke drinkers, had all been

diagnosed with MS. This is beyond coincidence.

Here is the problem.

There were Congressional Hearings when Aspartame was

originally included as a sweetener in 100 different products. Since this

initial hearing, there have been two subsequent hearings, but to no avail.

Nothing has been done. The drug and chemical lobbies have very deep pockets.

Now there are over 5,000 products containing this chemical, and the PATIENT

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 drugs 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 back 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 Association,

American Dietetic Association Congress, and the Conference of the American

College of Physicians. The New York Times, November 15, 1996, ran an article

on how the American Dietetic Association takes money from the food industry

to endorse their products. Therefore, they cannot 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 Desert 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 Desert 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 servicemen 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. " According to Dr. Louis Elsas, Pediatrician and Professor of

Genetics, at Emory University, in his testimony before Congress. The

phenylalanine concentrates in the placenta, causing mental retardation. 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, 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 not been approved as a dietary

supplement by the FDA for years, the FDA 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.

Senator Hetzenbaum wrote a bill that would have warned 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 inneurological 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 several world leaders. Again, please help us, too.

There are a lot of people out there who must be warned, please let them know

this information.

A response from our doctor cousin:

We certainly need more objective studies and controlled trials to study

aspartamine. We know the FDA has major financial problems withdrawing a

product in such widespread use. The medical profession wants more objective

data rather than emotional testimonials. In my own practice, I see folks

with significant medical symptoms, especially headaches, which improve once

they stop the use of aspartamine. My boys can't stand the stuff, my husband

doesn't drink it due to it giving him headaches. I rarely drink it, and

discourage my daughter from doing so. Certainly, the use of it on a daily

basis is not recommended. Like most things, moderation is key, & Americans

just don't do that. The cases I see with symptoms are people using it

several times a day routinely. The controlled studies will be done so we'll

eventually have a scientific answer, but for now, my guess is that large

quantities cause toxicity, & small amounts on an occasional basis probably

are ok, like alcohol, stress, etc! If your relatives & friends are

consuming it daily, I'd discourage that for sure.

I say a diet drink is water & chemicals, & I'll just take the water. If

Americans understood just how much pesticide, hormones, & chemicals are in

what we consume, I think there'd be an uproar. Shelia works in toxic waste

management (chemistry degree), & you ought to hear her on the subject of

poisons in what we eat!
