I received this in my mail and i decided to share it with anybody who wants to see and act in his/her best interest!
Bottom line in this article is that u have to give up on Aspartam sweetener!!!!!!!!
I know it is too long to read it all! but it's very important!
and you need to know all about this issue!
It is pretty scary, I used to use sweeteners, but from now on, i decided to use a little sugar or not at all instead of having any kind of sweeteners

> 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.

FL (basically in a wheelchair) for March 22nd.

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 FL March 22nd, 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!!!

> 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. 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. 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, (when in reality,
the disease is methanol toxicity), 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 (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."

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 AHD 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 due to the use of NutraSweet.
>
> Unfortunately, it is not always easy to convince people that Aspartame
is to blame for their child's illness. Stevia, which is a sweet herb, NOT A
MANUFACTURED ADDITIVE, helps in the metabolism of sugar, which would
be ideal for diabetics. It has now been approved as a dietary supplement by
the FDA. It is known that for many years the FDA outlawed this true sweet
food," due to their loyalty to MONSANTO Chemical Company."Books on
this subject are available:

histories on the deadly effects of Aspartame on the Internet. According to

> Herein lies the problem: There were Congressional Hearings when
Aspartame was included 100 different products and strong objection was
made concerning it's 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 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.

Please print this out and/or e-mail to your family and friends. They
have a right to know too
