WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL CONFERENCE and the MULTIPLE
SCLEROSIS FOUNDATION & FDA IS SUING FOR COLLUSION WITH MONSANTO.

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 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 in 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 asymptotic. 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 "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 were even 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 to product
usage! We have a very a 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 MS?"
> > > > > >
During a visit to a hospice, a nurse said that six of her friends, who were
heavy Diet Coke drinkers, had all been diagnosed with MS. This is beyond
coincidence. Here is the problem. There were Congressional Hearings when
Aspartame was originally included as a sweetener 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 the fact that aspartic acid
and
phenylalanine are neurotoxic without the other amino acids found 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.
> > > > > >
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 Association, American Dietetic Association Congress,
and the Conference of the American College of Physicians. The New York
Times,
November 15, 1996, ran an article on how the American Dietetic Association >

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 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 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. Several thousand pallets of diet drinks
were shipped to the Desert 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 servicemen 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."
> > > > > >
According to Dr. Louis Elsas, Pediatrician and Professor of Genetics,at
Emory
University, In his testimony before Congress. The phenylalanine concentrates
in the lacenta, causing mental retardation. In the original lab tests,
animals eveloped brain tumors, phenylalanine 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, 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.
> > > > > >
If it says "SUGAR FREE" on the label - DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.

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
several world leaders.
