SWEET POISON

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  22. 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 the 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 "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. 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.(and it always will in our bodies) 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 have 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 (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 as many  foods 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 diabetics  is all about BALANCE. Especially with diabetics, the Aspartame passes  the blood/brain barrier and then it 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 supposed to be "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 from 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! Now there are over
5,000 products on the market  that contain this deadly chemical and
there will be thousands more  introduced. Why? 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 recently been 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 are informed
now!

YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO  KNOW!
