> 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, they announced that there was an epidemic of
> multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus, and they 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, '1Could you tell me why so many
people
> seem to be coming down with MS?11 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 as been done. The
> drug and chemical lobbies have very deep pockets. Now there are over
5,000

> 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 dmgs 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

> 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,

> 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. 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

> Dr. Blaylock and Dr. Roberts will be writing a position paper with some

> 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

that

ASPARTAME

how

or
