Ok, this is way off topic and I don't normally send this kind of email out
but it came from a very good friend of mine and I believe it is causing my
wife some of the SAME problems.
BELOW is some info I have received dealing with ASPARTAME and
Fibro,Lupus,MS,etc.
==================================================
This came to me from an informed doctor who is also a close friend. 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 alcoholin 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 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 with Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi drinkers. Also, with
methanol toxicity, the victims usually drink three to four 12oz. 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 the aspartame is the culprit The victim continue
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 "If you are using ASPARTAME (NutraSweet, Equal,
Spoonful, etc.) and you suffer from fibromyalgiasymptoms, 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 by product usage! We have a very serious problem.
Even a stranger came up to Dr. Espisto, 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 said that six of her friends, who were heavy
Diet Coke addicts, had all been diagnosed with MS. 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. Roberts 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.
Russell
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 "EXCITOTOXINS: THE TASTE THAT KILLS" (Health Press
1-800-643-2665). Dr. H.J.Roberts, diabetic specialist and world expert on
aspartame poisoning, has also writtena book entitled "DEFENSE AGAINST
ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE"(1-800-814-9800). Dr Roberts 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. Roberts 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. Roberts 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. I ask that you help too. Print this article out and warn
everyone you know. Take anything that contains aspartame back to the store.
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 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
healthproblems. 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 canliberate 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 service men and women drank them all day long. All of
their symptoms are identical to aspartame poisoning. Dr. Roberts says
"consuming aspartame at the time of conception can cause birth defects". The
phenylalanine 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 (phenylalaninebreaks 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 now been
approved as a dietarysupplement by the F.D.A. For years, the F.D.A. 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 Howard
Metzenbaum 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 in neurological 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 ofPhysicians, we hope to have the help of some world
leaders. There are a lot of people out there who must be warned, please let
them know this information. You might want to print it out and hand it out
or fax to people who are not online.
