The following article was sent to me author unknown, but I believe it contains some very important information that we should all know about. Please read it and you will see what I mean. It could save many from a very difficult, painful life. Webmaster.
SWEET but 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 daughters
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 FL (basically in a wheelchair)
for March 22nd. On March 19th 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 FL March 22nd, 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!!!
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.
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, (when in reality, the disease
is methanol toxicity), 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 (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! 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 AHD 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!
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 due to
the use of NutraSweet.
Unfortunately,
it is not always easy to convince people that Aspartame is to blame for their
child's illness. Stevia, which, which is a sweet herb, NOT A MANUFACTURED
ADDITIVE, helps in the metabolism of sugar, which would be ideal for diabetics.
It
has now been approved as a dietary supplement by the FDA. It is known that for
many years the FDA outlawed this true sweet food," due to their loyalty to
MONSANTO Chemical Company."
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 soon be posting a position paper with 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 directly caused by the use of this deadly poison."
Herein
lies the problem: There were Congressional Hearings when Aspartame was included
100 different products and strong objection was made concerning it's 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 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.
