ASPARTAME AND DEADLY DIET FOODS
If
you consume anything with labeled 'Diet' such as diet soda or labeled ÒSugar-FreeÓ,
then this letter applies to you!
A
Letter from a Friend:
In
October of 2001, my sister started becoming very ill. 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 as 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
daughter's 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 Florida
(basically in a wheelchair) for March 22nd.
On
March 19, I called her to ask how her most recent tests went, and she said they
didn't find anything on the test, but they believed 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 the article to her that 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 consumed artificial
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. Now 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!
THE CAUSES OF THE PROBLEM
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.
NUTRASWEET, LUPUS AND MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
I
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.
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, aggravating the lupus to such a degree that it may
become a life-threatening condition.
We have seen patients with systemic lupus become asymptomatic, once taken
off diet sodas. In cases of those diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, most of
the symptoms disappear.
We've
seen many cases where vision 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, "I have some of these 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 a very toxic chemical used primarily to
preserve "tissue specimens."
(It is also unfortunately used in many building and home products
today).
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 AND DIABETES
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.
ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER AND NUTRASWEET
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
ADHD 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.
BIRTH DEFECTS AND SEIZURES
Dr.
Roberts warns that Nutrasweet apparently 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 grande 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 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."
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."
WHY DOES NUTRASWEET REMAIN ON THE MARKET?
Herein
lies the problem: There were Congressional Hearings when Aspartame 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. 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 organizations 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.
