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!!!
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 AHD 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 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, 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
Blayblock
(Health Press 1-800-643-2665) AND: DEFENSE AGAINST
ALZHEIMER'S
DISEASE-written by DR H. J. Roberts, also a diabetic
specialist.
These two doctors will soon be posting a position paper with
case
histories on the deadly effects of Aspartame on the Internet.
According to the Conference of the American College of Physicians,
"We
are 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 100 different products and strong objection
was
made concerning it's 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 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!!!!
Please print this out and/or e-mail to your family and friends.
They
have a right to know too.
