Aspartame

[Franky]

Gator asked me to post this, I don't necessary endorse this, but I was asked to put it up for all to read.



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 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 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 returned 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?'

[Franky]

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 ADHD 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 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 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!

This is absolutely worth posting again and again. Thank you Gator and Franky. If anyone goes to homepage and searches aspartame, there are other posts regarding the dangers. Amazing isn't it, that it remains in the market and it is in just about everything as a sugar substitute and is so hazardous, no, devastating to our health, yet the CDC is trying to make it illegal to sell vitamins and health food. Sick.

Good piece of news, though. I hope it's true, but I read that (coke?) I think is looking to use stevia (gee I thought the cdc banned that) for their sodas. At least a step in the right direction. If super giant cocacola sees a winning side, I'm hoping others will follow suit. Americans are taking a stand. We are not the only ones. There are voices strong and clear and we will prevail!!!

Franky,

Thank you for posting about my friend's sister and Aspartame.

Thanks also for your great research and posting about Aspartame. GREAT JOG!!!!!!, Franky.

Together, I am sure they will save some lives and grief.

Maybe someday I will learn enough about using this old computer that I will be more competent in computer usage.

Thanks again,
Gator

With my Lyme, Morgs, and Chemical illness brain, I get very frustrated when I can't do something. My life was never like this until about 12 years ago when I was sprayed with an
herbicide mixed with diesel fuel and received no compensation at all from my employer.

Hi Kritters,

Thanks for your kind comments.

Since we not being protected by the powers that be; we must learn all we can to protect ourselves.

Franky, Gator & Kritters I agree 100 percent! Total synthetic garbage. Linked to many health problems including Alzheimer's.

Sodas are bad no matter how you slice em. They have aspartame if diet, or splenda (processed with cyanide) or corn syrup. Nasty. Colored caffeine filled sodas like Coke, Pepsi, Or their diet counterparts also have one added deadly secret: Nasty acid.

Have you ever heard how useful Coca Cola is? Like how you can pour it on corroded battery connections it dissolves the stuff overnight? We DRINK this stuff? It has been said over time consumption of such sodas can weaken your bones. Think of growing kids how horrid!

The only thing I do drink which is not all good is non diet tonic water on occasion. For the quinine. Even this sweetened either with Nutrasweet, corn syrup or nasty saccharin. I mostly drink water, or green tea or Columbian coffee. Thanks Franky (for helping Gator for posting) and Gator for bringing this to our attention.

My rule of thumb is this: the less processed something is the better our bodies make use of it and break it down to nourish us. They are easier to assimilate. The more synthetic and processed they are the more alien they are to our systems and they do not get broken down properly and absorbed nutrionally.

If there is some nutritional benefit to something well might be OK to eat with something green and with good water in tiny amounts (the food we are sensitive to) to adapt to over time. If it has no nutritional value not worth adapting to. Soda is pure poison especially if diet and "Morgellons Gasoline" . Do yourself a favor and drink green tea instead. Oh and LOTS of water. Water flushes out toxins and is essential to life.

It is just one of the many Toxins they are force feeding us with.I've gone right off food lately.
We need to make a noise about this .
This devastates people and I m sure it is the reason kids behave like they do.

[terri]

My son in law is diabetic, and drinks these although none of the symptoms,because of this you Franky and Gator, he will be saved of this,I love him so much Thank you! love terri

[Gator]

Thanks LC, Carla and Terri,

I am glad this post helped someone. If only one person benefits from this information ,then it was worth posting .Thanks again Franky for your help.

I am about to crash and burn so until .......

Looks like this is because of Aspartame . I bet we won't ban it.
