WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL CONFERENCE and the MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS FOUNDATION
F.D.A. ISSUING FOR COLLUSION WITH MONSANTO Article written by Nancy
Markle (11201997)
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 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, 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 asymptomatic.
Unfortunately, we can not 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 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 son 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 MS? 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 MS. 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
dmgs
as cyanide and arsenic, 97 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
phenylalanine are neurotoxic without the other amino acids bound in
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.
We ask that you help too. Print this article out and warn everyone
you
know. Take anything that contains aspartame back to the store. 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 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 can not 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 an 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 service men 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". The phenylalanine 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
(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
F.D.A. For years, the F.D.A. 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 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). 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 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.
