We
are not sure about the origination of the following information - we happened
to receive it in an e-mail. We here at Natural Nutrition 4 Health thought it to
be an interesting read:
Reading
this information & sharing it, might mean saving a life or improving the
quality of someone's life, maybe yours.
In October of 2001, my sister started getting very sick, she had stomach spasms,
she was having a hard time getting around, to walk
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 biopsies, and was on 24 various prescription
medications. The doctors could not figure out what was wrong with her. She was
in so much pain, and so sick, she knew she was dying. She put her house,
bank accounts, life Insurance, etc., in her oldest daughters
name, and made sure her younger children were to be with her oldest daughter.
She wanted her last hooray, so she planned a trip to
Florida
(basically in a wheelchair) for March 22nd.
On March 19th I called her to ask her how one of her tests went, and she said
they didn't find anything on the test, but they believe she had MS. I thought,
oh my....then I recalled an article a friend of mine emailed to me...and I asked
her....do you drink diet pop?
She told me yes, as a matter of fact she was getting ready to crack one open
that moment. I told her not to open it, and stop
drinking the diet pop....and I emailed her the following article.
She called me within 32 hours after our phone conversation and told me she
stopped drinking the diet pop, and she can walk. She
went up the stairs, and the muscle spasms went away. She said she didn't feel
100% well, but sure felt a lot better. She told me she was going to her doctor
with this article and would call me back when she got home.
She called me, and her doctor was amazed, he is going to call all of his MS
patients to find out if they consumed artificial sweetener!
In a nutshell she was being poisoned by the aspartame
in the diet soda, dying a slow death!
When she got to FL March 22nd, all she had to take was one pill, and that was a
pill for poisoning.....she is well on her way to recovery.....and she is
walking!!! No wheelchair!!!
This article saved her life!!!
The life saving article:
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, that it was hard to
understand 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 Eformaldehyde, and then to formic acid, which in turn
causes metabolic acidosis. (Formic acid is the poison found in the sting of fire
ants.)
The methano toxicity mimics, among other conditions, multiple sclerosis. People
were being diagnosed with having multiple sclerosis in error. The multiple
sclerosis is not a death sentence, where
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 life-threatening. We have seen patients with
systemic lupus become asymptomatic once taken off diet sodas. In the case of
those diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, (when in reality, the disease is
methanol toxicity), most of the symptoms disappear. We've seen many cases where
vision returned and hearing improved markedly.
This also applies to cases of tinnitus.
During the 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 some of these
symptoms: Is it reversible? Yes!
Not drinking diet sodas and keeping an eye out for aspartame on food labels.
Yes!
We have a very serious problem. A stranger came up to Dr. Espisto (one of my
speakers) and me and said: "Could you tell me why so many people seem to be
coming down with MS? 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!
Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi, etc. are NOT
A
D
IET
PRODUCT!
The Congressional Record states that it makes you crave carbohydrates and will
make you FAT. The formaldehyde stores in the fat cells, particularly if no
significant increase in exercise, etc.
Aspartame is especially dangerous for diabetics. We found that physicians would
believe that they have a patient with retinopathy, when in fact the symptoms are
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 without the other amino acids found in protein.
Thus it passes the blood brain barrier and deteriorates the neurons of the
brain, causing in diabetics (as well as in patients not suffering from diabetes)
various kinds of brain damage, seizures, depression, manic seizures, manic
depression, panic attacks, rage, violence. (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 early pregnancy. Children are especially at
risk for neurological disorders and should NOT be given NutraSweet. I can relate
different case histories of children having mal seizures and other disturbances,
being on NutraSweet. Unfortunately it is not always easy to convince a mother
that aspartame is to blame for her child's illness. Only by trial and success
will she be able to warn other mothers to take their children's health into
their own hands.
Stevia, a sweet herb, NOT A MANUFACTURED ADDITIVE, which helps in the metabolism
of sugar (which would be ideal for diabetics) has now
been approved as a dietary supplement by the FDA. For years the FDA has outlawed
this sweet food because of their loyalty to MONSANTO.
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 be posting a position paper with some 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
caused by this deadly poison."
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 has been done. The drug and
chemical lobbies have very deep pockets. Now there are over 5,000 products
containing this chemical, and the PATENT HAS EXPIRED!!!!!
I assure you, MONSANTO, the creator of Aspartame knows how deadly it is. They
fund among others, the American Diabetes Association, the American Dietetic
Association, the Conference of the American
College
of Physicians.
This has been exposed in the New York Times - to no avail. These Associations
cannot criticize any additives or convey their link to MONSANTO because they
take money from the food industry and have to endorse their products.
Senator Howard Hetzenbaum wrote a bill that would have warned all infants,
pregnant mothers and children of the dangers of aspartame. The bill would have
also instituted independent studies on the problems existing in the population
(seizures, changes in brain chemistry, changes neurological and behavioral
symptoms). It was killed by the powerful drug and chemical lobbies, letting
loose the hounds of disease and death on an unsuspecting public!
