Afriend sent me this after receiving it through some chain e-mail she
usually gets at the office. She decided to send it to me due to my
fondness for Diet Coke. It sounds far fetched to me and, perhaps, may
even be some type of urban myth or legend that rears itself every few
years. Does anyone know whether it is true or, at least, based on any
vaild premise?

WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL CONFERENCE AND THE MULTIPLE
SCLEROSIS FOUNDATION F.D.A. ISSUING FOR COLLUSION WITH MONSANTO
Article written by Nancy Markle (1120197)
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
there was an epidemic of multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus, and
[the EPA] did not understand what toxin was causing this to be rampant
across the United States. I explained that I was there to lecture on
exactly that subject.
When the temperature of Aspartame exceeds 86 degrees F, the
wood alcohol in aspartame coverts 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
multiple sclerosis; thus, people were being diagnosed with having
multiple sclerosis in error. The multiple sclerosis is not a death
sentence, where methanol toxicity is.
In the case of systemic lupus, we are finding it has
become almost as rampant as multiple sclerosis, especially Diet Coke
and Diet Pepsi drinkers. Also, with methanol toxicity, the victims
usually drink three to four 12 oz. cans of them per day, some even more.
In the cases of systemic lupus, which is triggered by aspartame , the
victim usually does not know that the aspartame is the culprit. The
victim continues its use, aggravating the lupus to such a degree that
sometimes it becomes life threatening.
When we get people off the aspartame, those with systemic lupus
usually become asymptomatic. Unfortunately, we can not reverse this
disease.
On the other hand, in the case of those diagnosed with multiple
sclerosis, (when in reality, the disease is methanol toxicity), most of
the symptoms disappear. We have seen cases where their vision
has returned and even their hearing has returned. This also applies to
cases of tinnitus.
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, depression, anxiety
attacks, slurred speech, blurred vision, or memory loss -- you probably
have ASPARTAME DISEASE!"
People were jumping up during the lecture saying,
"I've got this, is it reversible?"
It is rampant. Some of the speakers at my lecture even were
suffering from these symptoms. In one lecture attended by the Ambassador
of Uganda, he told us that their sugar industry is adding
aspartame! He continued by saying that one of the industry leader's son
could no longer walk - due in part by product usage!
We have a very serious problem. Even a stranger came up to Dr.
Espisto (one of my speakers) and myself and said, "Could you tell me why
so many people seem to be coming down with MS? During a
visit to a hospice, a nurse said that six of her friends, who were
heavy
Diet Coke addicts, had all been diagnosed with MS."
This is beyond coincidence. Here is the problem.
There were Congressional hearings when aspartame was
included in 100 different products. Since this initial hearing, there
have been two subsequent hearings, but to no avail. Nothing has been
done. The
drug and chemical lobbies have very deep pockets. Now there are
over 5,000 products containing this chemical, and the PATENT HAS
EXPIRED!!!!!
At the time of this first hearing, people were going
blind. The methanol in the aspartame converts to formaldehyde in the
retina of the eye. Formaldehyde is grouped in the same class of drugs
as cyanide and arsenic-- DEADLY POISONS!!! Unfortunately, it just takes
longer to quietly
kill, but it is killing people and causing all kinds of neurological
problems.
Aspartame changes the brain's chemistry. It is the reason for
severe seizures. This drug changes the dopamine level in the brain.
Imagine what this drug does to patients suffering from Parkinson's
Disease.
This drug also causes birth defects.
There is absolutely no reason to take this product.
It is NOT A DIET PRODUCT!!! The Congressional Record said, "It makes you
crave carbohydrates and will make you FAT".
Dr. Roberts stated that when he got patients off
aspartame, their average weight loss was 19 pounds per person. The
formaldehyde stores in the fat cells, particularly in the hips and
thighs.
Aspartame is especially deadly for diabetics. All physicians
know what wood alcohol will do to a diabetic. We find that physicians
believe that they have patients with retinopathy, when in fact, it
is caused by the aspartame. The aspartame keeps the blood sugar level
out of control, causing many patients to go into a coma.
Unfortunately,
many have died.
People were telling us at the Conference of the American College of
Physicians, that they had relatives that switched from saccharin to an
aspartame product and how that relative had eventually gone into a coma.
Their physicians could not get the blood sugar levels under control.
Thus, the patients suffered acute memory loss and eventually coma and
death.
Memory loss is due to the fact that aspartic acid and
phenylalanine are neurotoxic without the other amino acids found in
protein. Thus it goes past the blood brain barrier and deteriorates the
neurons of the brain.
Dr. Russell Blaylock, neurosurgeon, said, "The ingredients
stimulates the neurons of the brain to death, causing brain damage of
varying degrees.
Dr. Blaylock has written a book entitled,
"EXCITOTOXINS: THE TASTE THAT KILLS" (Health Press 1-800-643-2665).
Dr. H.J. Roberts, diabetic specialist and world expert on aspartame
poisoning,
has also written a book entitled, "DEFENSE AGAINST ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE"
(1-800-814-9800). Dr. Roberts tells how aspartame poisoning is
escalating Alzheimer's Disease, and indeed it is.
As the hospice nurse told me, women are being
admitted at 30 years of age with Alzheimer's Disease. Dr. Blaylock and
Dr. Roberts will be writing a position paper with some case histories
and
will post it on the Internet. According to the Conference of the
American College of Physicians, "We are talking about a plague of
neurological diseases caused by this deadly poison."
Dr. Roberts realized what was happening when
aspartame was first marketed. He said "his diabetic patients presented
memory loss, confusion, and severe vision loss".
At the Conference of the American College of Physicians, doctors
admitted that they did not know. They had wondered why seizures were
rampant (the phenylalanine in aspartame breaks down the seizure
threshold and depletes serotonin, which causes manic depression, panic
attacks, rage and violence).
Just before the Conference, I received a FAX from Norway,
asking for a possible antidote for this poison because they are
experiencing so many problems in their country. This "poison" is now
available in 90 PLUS countries worldwide. Fortunately, we had speakers
and ambassadors at the Conference from different nations who have
pledged their help.
We ask that you help too. Print this article out and warn everyone
you know.
Take anything that contains aspartame back to the
store. Take the "NO ASPARTAME TEST" and send us your case history.
I assure you that Monsanto , the creator of aspartame, knows how
deadly it is. They fund the American Diabetes Association,
American Dietetic Association, Congress, and the Conference of the
American College of Physicians.
The New York Times, on November 15, 1996, ran an article on how
the American Dietetic Association takes money from the food
industry to endorse their products. Therefore, they cannot criticize any
additives or tell about their link to Monsanto.
How bad is this? We told a mother who had a child on NutraSweet to
get off the product. The child was having grand mal seizures every day.
The mother called her physician, who called the ADA, who told the doctor
not to take the child off the NutraSweet. We are still trying to
convince
the mother that the aspartame is causing the seizures. Every time we get
someone off of aspartame, the seizures stop. If the baby dies, you
know whose fault it is, and what we are up against.
There are 92 documented symptoms of aspartame, from coma to death.
The majority of them are all neurological, because the aspartame
destroys the nervous system. Aspartame Disease is partially the
cause to what is behind some of the mystery of the Desert Storm health
problems. The burning tongue and other problems discussed in over 60
cases can be directly related to the consumption of an aspartame
product.
Several thousand pallets of diet drinks were shipped to the Desert
Storm troops.(Remember heat can liberate the methanol from the aspartame
at 86
degrees F). Diet drinks sat in the 120 degree F. Arabian sun for weeks
at a time on pallets. The service men and women drank them all day
long.
All of their symptoms are identical to aspartame poisoning.
Dr. Roberts says "consuming aspartame at the time of conception
can cause birth defects".
The phenylalanine concentrates in the placenta, causing mental
retardation, according to Dr. Louis Elsas, Pediatrician Professor -
Genetics, at Emory University in his testimony before Congress. In the
original lab tests, animals developed brain tumors (phenylalanine
breaks
down into DXP, a brain tumor agent). When Dr. Espisto was lecturing on
aspartame me, one physician in the audience, a neurosurgeon, said, "when
they remove brain tumors, they have found high levels of aspartame in
them".
Stevia, a sweet food, NOT AN ADDITIVE, which helps in the
metabolism of sugar, which would be ideal for diabetics, has now been
approved as a dietary supplement by the FDA. For years, the FDA. has
outlawed this sweet food because of their loyalty to Monsanto.
If it says "SUGAR FREE" on the label -- DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT
IT!!!!!!
Senator Howard Hetzenbaum wrote a bill that would
have warned all infants, pregnant mothers and children of the dangers of
aspartame. The bill would have also instituted independent studies on
the
problems existing in the population (seizures, changes in brain
chemistry, changes in neurological and behavioral symptoms). It was
killed by the powerful drug and chemical lobbies, letting loose the
hounds of disease and death on an unsuspecting public.
Since the Conference of the American College of Physicians, we
hope to have the help of some world leaders. Again, please help
us too. There are a lot of people out there who must be warned,
*please* let them know this information.
