Probably because the patient is using aspartame marketed as NutraSweet,
Equal, Spoonful, etc. It destroys the central nervous system and mimics MS.
Shooting pains down the legs are common, numbness, joint pain, loss of
eqilibrium, tinnitus. Remember there is wood alcohol (methanol) in it
that converts to formaldehyde and then formic acid and causes metabolic
acidosis. A lot of people think they suffer from fibromyalgia and can
hardly walk. We get them off aspartame and usually their neurological
problems disappear. Incidently, aspartame precipitates diabetes. And
for anyone who wants a diabetic journal with 16 pages on the dangers of
aspartame, especially for diabetics, you can get it free by simply
writing me at the address below sending a self-addressed large envelope and
6 stamps.
In a nutshell aspartame destroys the optic nerve, central nervous system
and brain, and instructions to our auto-responder and reports from
physicians, are listed below my signature.
