							SWEET 
							POISON...
 
 A MUST READ TO THE END!
 
 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 an 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 re- turned 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 NOTa 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 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.'
 
 It is also suspected that the Aspartame in thousands 
							of pallets ofdiet 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 ob-jection 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!
