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!
