WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL CONFERENCE and the MULTIPLE
SCLEROSIS
FOUNDATION F.D.A.
ISSUING FOR COLLUSION WITH MONSANTO
Article written by Nancy Markle (1120197)
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, they announced that there was an epidemic
of multiple
sclerosis and systemic lupus, and they did not
understand what toxin was causing this to be rampant across
the United States.
I explained that I was there to lecture on exactly that
subject.
When the temperature of Aspartame exceeds 86 degrees F, the
wood alcohol in
ASPARTAME coverts 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 multiple sclerosis; thus
people were being
diagnosed with having multiple sclerosis in error. The
multiple sclerosis is
not a death sentence, where methanol toxicity is.
In the case of systemic lupus, we are finding it has become
almost as rampant
as multiple sclerosis, especially Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi
drinkers. Also,
with methanol toxicity, the victims usually drink three to
four 12 oz. Cans of
them per day, some even more. In the cases of systemic lupus,
which is
triggered by ASPARTAME, the victim usually does not know that
the aspartame is
the culprit The victim continues its use aggravating the lupus
to such a
degree, that sometimes it becomes life threatening.
When we get people off the aspartame, those with systemic
lupus usually become
asymptomatic. Unfortunately, we can not reverse this disease.
On the other
hand, in the case of those diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis,
(when in
reality, the disease is methanol toxicity), most of the
symptoms disappear. We
have seen cases where their vision has returned and even their
hearing has
returned. This also applies to cases of tinnitus. 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,
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
this, is it
reversible?" It is rampant. Some of the speakers at my lecture
even were
suffering from these symptoms. In one lecture attended by the
Ambassador of
Uganda, he told us that their sugar industry is adding
aspartame! He continued
by saying that one of the industry leader's son could no
longer walk - due in
part by product usage!
We have a very serious problem. Even a stranger came up to Dr.
Espisto (one of
my speakers) and myself and said, '1Could you tell me why so
many people seem
to be coming down with MS? 11 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.
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 as 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!!!!!
At the time of this first hearing, people were going blind.
The methanol in
the aspartame converts to formaldehyde in the retina of the
eye. Formaldehyde
is grouped in the same class of drugs as cyanide and arsenic--
DEADLY
POISONS!!! Unfortunately, it just takes longer to quietly
kill, but it is
killing people and causing all kinds of neurological problems.
Aspartame changes the brain's chemistry. It is the reason for
severe seizures.
This drug changes the dopamine level in the brain. Imagine
what this drug does
to patients suffering from Parkinson's Disease. This drug also
causes Birth
Defects.
There is absolutely no reason to take this product. It is NOT
A DIET
PRODUCT!!! The Congressional record said, "It makes you crave
carbohydrates
and will make you FAT". Dr. Roberts stated that when he got
patients off
aspartame, their average weight loss was 19 pounds per person.
The
formaldehyde stores in the fat cells, particularly in the hips
and thighs.
Aspartame is especially deadly for diabetics. All physicians
know what wood
alcohol will do to a diabetic. We find that physicians believe
that they have
patients with retinopathy, when in fact, it is caused by the
aspartame. The
aspartame keeps the blood sugar level out of control, causing
many patients to
go into a coma. Unfortunately, many have died.
People were telling us at the Conference of the American
College of
Physicians, that they had relatives that switched from
saccharin to an
aspartame product and how that relative had eventually gone
into a coma. Their
physicians could not get the blood sugar levels under control.
Thus, the
patients suffered acute memory loss and eventually coma and
death.
Memory loss is due to the fact that aspartic acid and
phenylalanine are
neurotoxic without the other amino acids found in protein.
Thus it goes past
the blood brain barrier and deteriorates the neurons of the
brain. Dr. Russell
Blaylock, neurosurgeon, said, "The ingredients stimulates the
neurons of the
brain to death, causing brain damage of varying degrees. Dr.
Blaylock has
written a book entitled EXCITOTOXINS: THE TASTE THAT KILLS"
(Health Press
1-800-643-2665). Dr. H.J. Roberts, diabetic specialist and
world expert on
aspartame poisoning, has also written a book entitled DEFENSE
AGAINST
ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE" (1-800-814-9800). Dr. Roberts tells how
aspartame
poisoning is escalating Alzheimer's Disease, and indeed it is.
As the hospice
nurse told me, women are being admitted at 30 years of age
with Alzheimer's
Disease. Dr. Blaylock and Dr. Roberts will be writing a
position paper with
some case histories and will post it 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".
Dr. Roberts realized what was happening when aspartame was
first marketed. He
said "his diabetic patients presented memory loss, confusion,
and severe
vision loss". At the Conference of the American College of
Physicians, doctors
admitted that they did not know. They had wondered why
seizures
were rampant (the phenylalanine in aspartame breaks down the
seizure threshold
and depletes serotonin, which causes manic depression, panic
attacks, rage and
violence).
Just before the Conference, I received a FAX from Norway,
asking for a
possible antidote for this poison because they are
experiencing so many
problems in their country. This poison is now available in 90
PLUS countries
worldwide. Fortunately, we had speakers and ambassadors at the
Conference from
different nations who have pledged their help. We ask that you
help too. Print
this article out and warn everyone you know. Take anything
that contains
aspartame back to the store. Take the "NO ASPARTAME TEST" and
send us your
case history.
I assure you that MONSANTO, the creator of aspartame, knows
how deadly it is.
They fund the American Diabetes Association, American Dietetic
Association,
Congress, and the Conference of the American College of
Physicians. The New
York Times, on November 15, 1996, ran an article on how the
American Dietetic
Association takes money from the food industry to endorse
their products.
Therefore, they can not criticize any additives or tell about
their link to
MONSANTO. How bad is this? We told a mother who had a child on
NutraSweet to
get off the product. The child was having grand mal seizures
every day. The
mother called her physician, who called the ADA, who told the
doctor not to
take the child off the NutraSweet.
We are still trying to convince the mother that the aspartame
is causing the
seizures. Every time we get someone off of aspartame, the
seizures stop. If
the baby dies, you know whose fault it is, and what we are up
against. There
are 92 documented symptoms of aspartame, from coma to death.
The majority of
them are all neurological, because the aspartame destroys the
nervous system.
Aspartame Disease is partially the cause to what is behind
some of the mystery
of the Dessert Storm health problems. The burning tongue and
other problems
discussed in over 60 cases can be directly related to the
consumption of an
aspartame product. Several thousand pallets of diet drinks
were shipped to the
Dessert Storm troops. (Remember heat can liberate the methanol
from the
aspartame at 86 degrees F). Diet drinks sat in the 120 degree
F. Arabian sun
for weeks at a time on pallets. The service men and women
drank them all day
long.
All of their symptoms are identical to aspartame poisoning.
Dr. Roberts says
"consuming aspartame at the time of conception can cause birth
defects". The
phenylalanine concentrates in the placenta, causing mental
retardation,
according to Dr. Louis Elsas, Pediatrician Professor -
Genetics, at Emory
University in his testimony before Congress.
In the original lab tests, animals developed brain tumors
(phenylalanine
breaks down into DXP, a brain tumor agent). When Dr. Espisto
was lecturing on
aspartame me, one physician in the audience, a neurosurgeon,
said, "when they
remove brain tumors, they have found high levels of aspartame
in them".
Stevia, a sweet food, NOT AN ADDITIVE, which helps in the
metabolism of sugar,
which would be ideal for diabetics, has now been approved as a
dietary
supplement by the F.D.A. For years, the F.D.A. has outlawed
this sweet food
because of their loyalty to MONSANTO.
If it says "SUGAR FREE" on the label-- DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT
IT!!!!!l!
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 in 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. Since the
Conference of the American College of Physicians, we hope to
have the help of
some world leaders. Again, please help us too.
There are a lot of people out there who must be warned, please
let them know
this information. This could be considered life saving
information for some of
you and your friends and relatives. I've forwarded it to
everyone I can
contact. If you know people who drink diet sodas on a regular
basis, get this
message to them!!! Make sure and lay off the Diet Soda and
other stuff with
Nutra-Sweet.
People's lives are at stake! What you now know can make an
important
difference.
