are you a poison consumer

I drink diet cola. A relative sent me the following information on the sweetener. Any comments?

Who knows, some or all of this could be true!!

SWEET 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 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.'

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! "
