Guest guest Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 I have found the article regarding Lyme and Aspartame. Below are some excerpts from the VERY long article by Dr. Bowen. If anyone wants the complete text I will be happy to email it. 4 December, 2000 http://www.dorway.com/lymedis.txt Lyme Disease Is Sexually Transmitted, Produces AutoImmune Self Destruction Which Is Reactivated by Aspartame. by Bowen, M.D. Lyme Disease and Aspartame Disease are tragically conjoined Twins. Aspartame can cause Lyme disease and the Lyme treponema can cause the same hyperautoimmunicity and resultant hyperautoimmunity destructions that aspartame does. American medicine unfortunately overlooks the basics that have long been known about Lyme Disease. Aspartame can activate Lyme Disease in people who have the infection but would not experience Lyme Disease because unimpaired by the ill effects of aspartame the Lyme treponema would without hazard be eliminated by a competent immune response. In addition, I think those who have had Lyme Disease and achieved a " cure " may experience a relapse upon exposure to aspartame or other sensitizing agents even though the Lyme treponema has been eliminated from their body. .... A comparable example is the situation with " flu " vaccines. If the flu virus strain mutates, even slightly, the antibodies elicited by the vaccine just aren't effective against the flu bug. Lyme Disease damages and some of aspartame's damages are hyperautoimmunity destruction based on inappropriate immune response to denatured human protein. It is no surprise then the two diseases can, and often do, produce identical problems. It should likewise be possible, once a pattern of autoimmune destruction has been established in either case, that the persistent hyperautoimmunicity (after the situation has been quieted down) will produce the same disease pattern as at least part of the response when hyperautoimmunity is reactivated by either agent. Exposure to aspartame can cause the Lyme disease process to recur after the Lyme organism has been eliminated from the body. Likewise the Lyme organism can cause recurrence of the hyperautoimmune destruction caused by aspartame such as the Persian Gulf Syndrome and the others already mentioned. The chemical hyper reactivity engendered by either disease can yield recurrences of either upon exposure to other noxious chemicals at levels undetectable to " normal " or unafflicted individuals. Therefore, in those already immunologically deranged by aspartame, Lyme Disease will often be atypical: lacking the usual 10 to 14 day incubation period etc because immediate autoimmune hyper reactivity already exists and is already subject to an immediately fulminant and virulent response to very low doses of the treponemal antigen. This mutual synergism/activation phenomena between aspartame poisoning and Lyme Disease persists so that the activation of Lyme destruction is possible at almost anytime amongst the large segment of our population sensitized by aspartame exposure. Even pollen seasons and fungal blooms with airborne spores now are problems of severe hyperautoimmunity for the hypersensitized and can be expected to produce full blown autoimmune destructive processes without treponemal reinfection nor exposure to aspartame itself.
