Sweet but Poison

[nevadamedic]

Here is an email I just got, can this be true???????

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 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 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 (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!

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 "behaviour 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 due to the use of NutraSweet.

Unfortunately, it is not always easy to convince people that Aspartame is
to blame for their child's illness. Stevia, which is a sweet herb, NOT A
MANUFACTURED ADDITIVE, helps in the metabolism of sugar, which would be
ideal for diabetics. It has now been approved as a dietary supplement by the
FDA. It is known that for many years the FDA outlawed this true sweet food,"
due to their loyalty to MONSANTO Chemical Company."

Books on this subject are available:
EXCITOTOXINS: THE TASTE THAT KILLS written by Dr. Russell Blaylock
(Health Press 1-800-643-2665) and:

DEFENCE AGAINST ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE- written by R H. J. Roberts, also a diabetic specialist.
These two doctors will soon be posting a position page on the internet
with case histories on the deadly effects of Aspartame.

According to the Conference of the American College of Physicians, "We are
talking about a plague of neurological diseases directly caused by the us of
this deadly poison."

Herein lies the problem: There were Congressional Hearings when Aspartamewas included 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 behavioural 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!

Please print this out and/or e-mail to your family andfriends. They have a right to know too.

Do you know how much of that shit you have to consume consistently, on a daily basis for that to happen?

Yea but there are people out there that do it.

Never said it wasn't.

Well, you're the one that said "Can this be true?" like it was some major catastrophe the world should know about.

ANYTHING in excess is going to have detrimental effects on your body.

My stepdad has MS. We saw this e mail years ago,but I was skeptical about it because MS is a virus. A doctor should be able to tell if a patient has it mainly because when a MRI is done on an MS patient,they should be able to see spots on the patients brain.

My stepdad's started when he started having blindness in one eye. He now has "attacks" from time to time,usually with vision or aches. He takes shots every day and so far in the last six years it has not progressed at all. He still works,doing drywall(a very physical job). ALso,my stepdad's grandpa had Parkinson's,which makes one wonder if thsi type of disease could be genetic.

It seems like if a doc questioned whether it was artificial sweetner or MS,a MRI would clear that up.
