Hello all. This issue of the Spirit of Health Newsletter centers
around some of the dangers of Aspartame. We have covered this
before but we felt that this article by Nancy Markle was exceptionally
well done.

Diet Drink Anyone?
Article written by Nancy Markle
I have spent several days lecturing at the World Environment 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 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 multiple sclerosis thus peoples
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 with 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 case 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 symptomatic.
Unfortunately, we cannot 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,and quote,
"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 sons 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, "Could you tell me why so many people
seem to be coming down with M.S.?" 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 M.S. 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 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. 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 phenylanine are neurotoxic without the other
amino acids found in protein. Thus it goes past the brain barrier and
deteriorates the neurons of the brain. Dr. Russell Blaylock, neurosurgeon,
said, "The ingredients stimulate the neurons of the brain to death, causing
brain damage of varying degrees."
Dr. Blaylock has written a book entitled, "EXVIROTOXINS : The Taste That
Kills" (Health Press 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" (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 American College of Physicians, doctors
admitted that they did not know. They had wondered why seizures were rampant
(the phenylaline in Aspartame breaks down the seizures threshold and
depletes serotonin, which causes manic depression, panic attacks, rage and
violence). Just 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 you to help too. Copy
this article and warn everyone you know. Take anything that contains
Aspartame back to the store. 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 cannot 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 neurological because the Aspartame destroys the nervous system.
Aspartame Disease is partially the cause to what is behind some of the
mystery of the Desert Storm health problems. The burning tongue and other
problems discussed in over 60 cases can be directly related to the
consumption of Aspartame product and several thousand pallets of diet drinks
were shipped to the Desert Storm troops. 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 that consuming Aspartame at the time of
conception can cause birth defects. The phenylanine 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
(phenylaline breaks down into DXP, a brain tumor agent). When Dr. Espisto
was lecturing on Aspartame, 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, that 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.
If a label says SUGAR FREE, DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT CONSUMING IT.
Senator Howard Metzenbaum 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). The bill 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 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. You might want to print it
out to hand out or fax it to people who are not online.

Once again, this is Dorian for Ron Radstrom. He says that
he is having a great time at the Raw Foods Festival and that
he has a great deal of raw food info, recipies and inspiration
from this crusade in Oregon. He'll be back on Monday.
Sincerely,
