This was sent to me in an e-mail. Very scary when I consider how much diet products I consume with aspartame in it. I will be rethinking some of these products.

POISON!
A MUST READ!



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.
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 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 'Nutra Sweet,'
'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 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 (Nutra Sweet, 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 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 'better for them than sugar.'

It is also suspected that the Aspartame in thousands of
pallets ofdiet Coke and diet Pepsiconsumed 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.'

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!
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!

YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW!
