 SWEET  POISON!   A MUST  READ!

In October of  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 is 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, 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 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!
