I sent an email titled Sweet Poison to some friends and family and I never got so many emails back with comments and thanks.  Here is the email that came from a friend.

SWEET POISON! A MUST 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 g et 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 betaken 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 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 ‘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. 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, specially 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 (NutraSweet, Equal,
Spoonful, etc) and you suffer from; Fibromyalgia symptoms, Spasms, Shooting
pains, Numbness in your legs, Cramps, virtigo, Dizziness, Headaches,
Tinnitus, Joint pain, Unexplainable depression, Anxiety attacks, Slurred
speech, Blurred vision, and /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.=2 0This 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 thevery 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
100different 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, t he 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 annot 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! YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW!
