SWEET POISON! Don't read = YOU LOSE...

In October 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 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 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 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
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.

When she got to Florida March 22, 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 'Nutra
Sweet,'
'Equal,' and 'Spoonful.'

In the keynote address by the EPA, it was announced that in the
United States, in 2001, there was 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, 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
(Nutra Sweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc.) and you suffer from fibromyalgia
symptoms, spasms, shooting pains, numbness in your legs, Cramps,
Vertigo, Dizziness, Headaches, Tinnitis,
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 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 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


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 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 in
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
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. Well, you're
informed now!
