SUFFERING FROM THESE SYMPTOMS BELOW>

In October of 2001, a friend’s 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. Because of her pain
and
> sickness, she was sure she was dying. She put her house, bank accounts,
> life insurance, etc., in her oldest daughters name, and made sure that her
> younger children were to be taken care of. She also wanted a last hoo!
rah,
> so she planned a trip to FL (basically in a wheelchair) for March 22nd.
>
> On March 19th he 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.
> He recalled an E-mail article I might have sent to him and asked his
sister
> if she drank diet pop? She told him that she did. As a matter of fact,
> she was getting ready to crack one open that moment. He told her not to
open
> it, to stop drinking the diet pop, and then E-mailed her the aspartame
> article. His sister called him within 32 hours after the phone
> conversation and told him she had stopped drinking the diet pop 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 him she was going to her doctor
> with this article and would call him when she got home. Well, she called,
> 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! This article saved her life: If it says
> “SUGAR FREE” on the label, DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT! “ASPARTAME,” is
> marketed as ‘NutraSweet’, ‘Equal’, and ‘Spoonful’. In a keynote address by
> the EPA, it was announced that in the United States in 2001 there was an
> epidemic of multiple sclero! sis and systemic lupus. It was difficult to
> determine exactly what toxin was causing this to be rampant.
>
> 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 l! upus 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. Many cases
> have been seen where vision loss returned and hearing loss improved
> markedly. This also applies to cases of tinnitus and fibromyalgia. 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 may have ASPARTAME poisoning! 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. A doctor
> remarked that so many people seemed to have been symptomatic for MS
> 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. Doesn’t
> this seem 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 al! so 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 t! hat 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
> 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 turn arounds 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 t! hat 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: EXCITOTOXINS: THE TASTE THAT KILLS
> written by Dr. Russell Blayblock, (Health Press 1-800-643-2665) and
> DEFENSE AGAINST ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE – written by DR H. J. Roberts, also a
> diabetic specialist. These two doctors will soon be posting a position
paper
> with
> case histories on the deadly effects of Aspartame on the Internet.
>
> According to the Conference of the American College of Physicians, “We
> are 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 100 different products and strong
> objection was made concerning its use. Since this initial hearing, there
> have been two subsequent hearings and still, nothing has be en 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 now be thousands more introduced. Everybody
> wants a “piece of the Aspartame pie.” I assure you that MONSANTO, the
> creator

> 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
> Associations 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.
>
> 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.

Now if you didn’t read enough of this on Aspartame, Dr.Mercola has just posted a great article on Aspartame on this website

http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/10/13/Artificial-Sweeteners-More-Dangerous-than-You-Ever-Imagined.aspx

I do recommend you go read that also.
