Beware of Aspartame-Sweet Poison

> 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 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 (Multiple Sclerosis).
>
> 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, 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 trinities and
> firma.
>
> 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

> 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 arounds 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

> There are now over 5,000 products on the

> And isn't it ironic that MONSANTO funds,
