WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL CONFERENCE
and the MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS FOUNDATION
F.D.A. ISSUING FOR COLLUSION WITH MONSANTO
Article written by Nancy Markle (11/20/97)
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 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 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 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 asymptomatic. Unfortunately, we can not 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 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 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 as
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 dmgs 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 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 1-800-643-2665). Dr. H.J. Roberts,
diabetic specialist and world expert on aspartame poisoning, has also
written a 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. We ask
that you help too.
Print this article out and warn everyone you know. Take anything that
contains aspartame black 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 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 can not 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 Dessert 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
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 (phenylalanine
breaks down into DXP, a brain tumor agent). When Dr. Espisto was
lecturing on aspartame me, 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
dietary supplement by the F.D.A. For years, the F.D.A. has outlawed this
sweet food because of their loyalty to MONSANTO. [You can obtain Stevia
now in natural foods stores in either cut & sifted dried leaves or in
powder form. I use it and it's great.]
If it says "SUGAR FREE" on the label-- DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!!!!!l!
Senator Howard Hetzenbaum wrote a bill that would have wamed 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 of Physicians, we hope to have the help of some 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.
