> 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 there was an
>epidemic of multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus, and [the EPA] 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 coverts 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 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 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 back 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 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 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 Desert 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

sweet

> Senator Howard Hetzenbaum 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 of Physicians, we hope
>to have the help of some world leaders. Again, please help us too.
There
