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 2nd.
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 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, 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 be 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 (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 ADHD have had complete turn a rounds 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.'
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!
