This is important to read all the way through.
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 that 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, and said her doctor was amazed! He is going to call all
of his MS patients to find out if they 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 lupus 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, 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) remarked
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, which 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. Roberts 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 pounds 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, uncontrollable
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. Roberts 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 the
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. Russell Blayblock
(Health Press 1-800-643-2665) AND: DEFENSE AGAINST ALZHEIMER'S
DISEASE-written by DR H. J. Roberts, also a diabetic specialist.
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 its 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 Aspartame 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.
Senator Howard 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!!!!
Please print this out and/or e-mail to your family
and friends. They
have a right to know too.
You are good stuff!
Have a great day!.
