Subject: Diet Drinks!
In
October of 2001, my sister started getting very sick, she
had stomach spasms, she was having a hard time getting around,
to walk 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 biopsies, and was on 24 various prescription
medications. The doctors could not figure out what was wrong
with her. She was in so much pain, and so sick, she knew
she was dying.
She
put her house, bank accounts, life insurance etc. in her
oldest daughters name, and made sure her younger children
were to be with her oldest daughter. She 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 her how one of her tests
went, and she said they didn't find anything on the test,
but they believe she had MS. I thought, oh, my....then I
recalled an article a friend of mine emailed to me...and
I asked her....Do you drink Diet pop? She told me yes, as
a matter of fact she was getting ready to crack one open
that moment....I told her not to open it, and stop drinking
the diet pop....and I emailed her the following article.
She called me within 32 hours after our phone conversation
and told me she stopped drinking the diet pop, and she can
walk...she went up the stairs, and the muscle spasms went
away. She said she didn't feel 100% but sure felt a lot
better. She told me she was going to her doctors with this
article and would call me back when she got home. She called
me, and her doctor was amazed, he is going to call all of
his MS patients to find out if they consumed artificial
sweetener....In a nutshell,
she was being poisoned by the aspartame in the diet soda,
dying a slow death.
When she got to FL March 22nd, all she had to take was one
pill, and that was a pill for poisoning....she is well on
her way to recovery.....and she is walking!!!!! No wheelchair!!!!
This article saved her life!!!!
The
life saving article: If it says "SUGAR FREE,"
on the label, DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!!!
I
have spent several days lecturing at the WORLD ENVIRONMENTALCONFERENCE
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, that it was hard to understand
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
Êformaldehyde 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.
People were being diagnosed with having multiple sclerosis
in error. The> multiple sclerosis is not a death sentence,
where 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 life-threatening. We have seen patients with systemic
lupus become asymptomatic once taken off diet sodas. In
the case 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 returned
and hearing
improved markedly. 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 some of these
symptoms: Is it reversible?" Yes! Not drinking diet
sodas and keeping an eye out for aspartame on food labels,
yes!
We
have a very serious problem. A stranger came up to Dr. Espisto
(one of my speakers) and me 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! Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi etc. IS NOT A DIET
PRODUCT! The Congressional Record states that it makes you
crave carbohydrates and will make you FAT. The formaldehyde
stores in the
fat cells, particularly in the hips and thighs. Once off
these products with no significant increase in exercise,
etc., Dr. Roberts in his lecture stated that he had patient
who lost an average of 19 pounds over a trial
period. Aspartame is especially dangerous for diabetics.
We found that physicians would believe that they have a
patient with retinopathy, when in fact the symptoms are
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 without the other amino acids
found in protein. Thus it passes the blood brain barrier
and deteriorates the neurons of the brain, causing in diabetics
(as well as in patients not suffering from diabetes) various
kinds of brain damage, seizures, depression, manic depression,
panic attacks, rage, violence. (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 early
pregnancy. Children are especially at risk for neurological
disorders and should NOT be given
NutraSweet. I can relate different case histories of children
having mal seizures and other disturbances being on NutraSweet.
Unfortunately it is not always easy to convince a mother
that aspartame is to blame for her child's illness. Only
by trial and success will she be able to warn other mothers
to take their
children's health in their own hands.
Stevia, a sweet herb, NOT A MANUFACTURED ADDITIVE, which
helps in the metabolism of sugar (which would be ideal for
diabetics) has now been approved as a dietary supplement
by the FDA. For years
the FDA has outlawed this sweet food because of their loyalty
to MONSANTO.
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 be posting a position paper with
some 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
caused by this deadly poison." 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!!!!!
I
assure you, MONSANTO, the creator of Aspartame knows how
deadly it is. They fund among others, the American Diabetes
Association, the American Dietetic Association, the Conference
of the American
College of Physicians. This has been exposed in the New
York Times - to no avail.
These Associations cannot criticize any additives or convey
their link to MONSANTO because they take money from the
food industry and have to endorse their products.
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 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.
