Being a Type 1 Diabetic I drink a bit of "Zero" etc, this isnt good news!  ??? [roll]

SWEET POISON!
 
 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 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.
 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 be
taken 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 'Nutra Sweet,'
'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,
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 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 (Nutra Sweet, 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 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. This 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 neurones 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
behaviour when these chemicals have been removed from their diet.
 
So called 'behaviour 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 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 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, the 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 [organisations] cannot criticise 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 behavioural
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!
 
Please print this out and/or e-mail
To your family
And friends.
They have a right to know too!

 

Research this further yourself using google for more evidence...

Great advice Dragon, thanks for sharing this.

I used to drink heaps of this stuff until it made me sick (stomach cramps and all). It's crap stuff and you might as well drink "Drano".

It's like most things, if you have to have it, just have it occasionally. Everything in moderation.  [wine]
If you can live with out it, better still!

Thanks for thinking of us Dragon.  :-*  [thumbsup]

Besides that, coke etc is shit

BLOODY HELL!! My younger sister is a diet coke junkie. She loves the stuff!

She also has been unwell on and off for a few years. She has also had many tests for you name it, with the only outcome being "she has a blood disorder of some kind" as said by a Doctor 4 years ago.

I know she has showed many of the symptoms listed here.

Maybe this could be a cause (or one of them) of her problems

This is getting emailed to her shortly

Thanks for enlightening us on this serious problem dragon [thumbsup]

Hey Dragon, I'm not surprised by this at all.  The amount of chemicals that we have in our food & drink now is very scary!  I think from memory that we are exposed to over 1000 different chemicals now that we didn't have 50 years ago.

I for one used to be a Pepsi Max junkie many years ago & used to drink over 4 ltrs a day of the stuff.  While I never had any side effects (or so I thought), I went off it & now drink only good old water & certainly feel better!

That article sounds like crap to me too, another global conspiracy driven by the military industrial complex.
No sources cited, no nuffink.

Just ta get people thinking and make us aware of possibilities!!  [thumbsup]

And we make our chouces.  [evil]

We  should look at what's going in to and on our food anyhow, as well  as what damage to the planet is caused by just growing the stuff. Did you see the tv show on how much palm oil is in the products you and I consume. Apparently the average is 10kg per person per year, and it's not even labelled as such on the products you buy.

I would really like to meet the cranks who write this rubbish.  What kind of lives do they lead, that they have the time and inclination to crank out such voluminous prose, about things untrue?

I mean, it's one thing to believe this crap and send it to your friends without applying a modicum of critical thought first, but to write it?  Who are these people?

I read an article years ago (at least 10) about Aspartame being suspected in causing Lupus.  I would like to believe that the FDA in the US would fully test and research such claims.  But sadly I also know about the continual swapping of executives between Govt regulatory bodies and big Corps (especially Monsanto) in the US.  GM crops being one of my soapboxes. 

All I can say is, if it's a manmade chemical in your food and you don't need it to survive - don't consume it.  Especially if you already have health challenges.  And just see if it makes a difference.

Great advice Heather.  [thumbsup]
