- Aspartame

[Guest guest]

Diet Drink Anyone?

Article written by Markle

I have spent several days lecturing at the World Environment 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 that 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 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 multiple sclerosis thus peoples

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 with 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 case of systemic lupus, which is

triggered by Aspartame, the victim usually does not know that the 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 symptomatic.

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,and quote,

" 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 sons could no longer walk - due in part by 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 M.S.? " During a visit to a hospice, a nurse said

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

diagnosed with M.S. This is beyond coincidence.

Here is the problem. There were Congressional Hearings when Aspartame was

included 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 PATENT 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 phenylanine are neurotoxic without the other

amino acids found in protein. Thus it goes past the brain barrier and

deteriorates the neurons of the brain. Dr. Blaylock, neurosurgeon,

said, " The ingredients stimulate the neurons of the brain to death, causing

brain damage of varying degrees. "

Dr. Blaylock has written a book entitled, " EXVIROTOXINS : The Taste That

Kills " (Health Press 800-643-2665). Dr. H.J. , diabetic specialist

and world expert on Aspartame Poisoning has also written a book entitled,

" Defense against Alzheimer's Disease " (800-814-9800). 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 American College of Physicians, doctors

admitted that they did not know. They had wondered why seizures were rampant

(the phenylaline in Aspartame breaks down the seizures threshold and

depletes serotonin, which causes manic depression, panic attacks, rage and

violence). Just 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 you to help too. Copy

this article and warn everyone you know. Take anything that contains

Aspartame back to the store. Send us your case history.

I assure you that Monsanto, the creator of Aspartame, knows how deadly it

is. They fund the American Diabetes Association, American Dietetic

Association, Congress and the Conference of the American College of

Physicians. The New York Times, on 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 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 Aspartame product and several thousand pallets of diet drinks

were shipped to the Desert Storm troops. Diet drinks sat in the 120 degree F

Arabian sun for weeks at a time on pallets. The service men and women drank

them all day long. All of their symptoms are identical to Aspartame

Poisoning. Dr. says that consuming Aspartame at the time of

conception can cause birth defects. The phenylanine concentrates in the

placenta, causing mental retardation, according to Dr. Louis Elsas,

Pediatrician Professor - genetics at Emory University in his testimony

before Congress. In the original lab tests, animals developed brain tumors

(phenylaline 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, that helps in the

metabolism of sugar, which would be ideal for diabetics, has now been

approved as a dietary supplement by the FDA. For years, the FDA has outlawed

this sweet food because of their loyalty to Monsanto.
