Killer drug Aspartame in sugar substitutes
Posted February 20th, 2008 by Diet Simon
By Victoria Woodford vwoo...@tpg.com.au
In October of 2001, my sister began 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 felt like 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 definite on the tests, but they
believed she had MS. I recalled an article a friend of mine had 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 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 the article and would call me when
she got home. Well, she called me, and said her doctor was amazed! He
was 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 on March 22, all she had to take was one pill,
and that was a pill for 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 CONSUMING IT! I have spent several days lecturing at the
WORLD
ENVIRONMENTAL CONFERENCE on "ASPARTAME" which is marketed as
'NutraSweet,' 'Equal,' and 'Spoonful.'
In the keynote address by the EPA, it was announced that in the United
States in 2001 there was an epidemic of multiple sclerosis and
systemic lupus. It was difficult to determine exactly what toxin was
the cause. 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 my
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 lecture 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
behaviour 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."
Dr. Roberts warns that Aspartame 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 when 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 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!
