>WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL CONFERENCE & MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
>
>Dear Doctor Rivner and Group:
>
>I have spent several days lecturing at the World Environmental Conference
>on aspartame marketed as NutraSweet, Equal & 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 nation.
>
>I explained that I was there to lecture on exactly that subject. That
>the wood alcohol in aspartame converts to formaldehyde and then formic
>acid,( ant sting poison) and causes metabolic acidosis. That methanol
>toxicity mimics multiple sclerosis and that people were being diagnosed
>with it in error. That multiple sclerosis was not a death sentence but
>that methanol toxicity is.
>
>In the case of systemic lupus we are finding that it has become almost as
>rampant, especially with Diet Coke drinkers or Diet Pepsi drinkers, also
>with methanol toxicity the victims usually drink three or four of them a day.
>
>In the case of systemic lupus which is triggered by aspartame, the victim
>usually does not know that is the culprit and continues its use
>aggravating it to such a degree that sometimes it is life threatening.
>When we get people off aspartame those with systemic lupus usually become
>asymptomatic but we can't reverse the disease.
>
>On the other hand, in the case of those diagnosed with MS when in reality
>its methanol toxicity most of the time all symptoms disappear. We've
>seen cases where their vision has returned and even their hearing has
>returned. It causes a good deal also of tinnitus.
>
>During a lecture I said: "If you're using NutraSweet (Equal, aspartame,
>Spoonful, etc.) and you have 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 have aspartame disease!" People
>were jumping up in the lecture saying: "I've got it, I've got it - is it
>reversible!" It is rampant.
>
>Some of the speakers even were suffering from these symptoms. In one
>lecture attended by the Ambassador of Uganda, he told me the sugar
>industry is adding aspartame! We heard about that. He even said the
>man's son could no longer walk - probably using the product!
>
>We have a major, major problem. Even a stranger came up to Dr. Espisto
>and myself at the airport when we were giving out information and said:
>"Could you tell me why everyone is coming down with MS?"
>
>A hospice nurse said she had 6 friends who were Diet Coke addicts and
>they had all been diagnosed with MS. This is beyond coincidence!
>
>Here is the problem! There were congressional hearings when it was in
>100 products and then a few hundred products. There have been three but
>the drug/chemical company has deep pockets. Nothing was done. People at
>that time were already going blind because the methanol converts to
>formaldehyde in the retina of the eye. NOW ITS IN 5000 PRODUCTS AND THE
>PATENT HAS EXPIRED! It's in antibiotics, vitamins, baked goods and all
>kinds of products. Dr. H. J. Roberts, world expert on the subject, said
>its hard to avoid.
>
>When you think of NutraSweet remember it is not a food additive but a
>deadly drug. Put it in the class with cyanide and arsenic - POISONS! It
>just takes longer to kill you but it is killing people and causing all
>kinds of neurological problems. It changes the brain chemistry, it is
>the reason for the rampant seizures, it changes the dopamine level in the
>brain so you can imagine what it would do to a Parkinson patient, and it
>causes birth defects.
>
>There is no reason to take this product for any reason. It is NOT A DIET
>PRODUCT!!!! The Congressional Record said it makes you crave
>carbohydrates and get fat! Dr. Roberts said when he got patients off of
>it the average weight loss was 19 lbs. The formaldehyde stores in fat
>cells, particularly on the hips and thighs!!!!!
>
>It is deadly for a diabetic. Any physician knows what wood alcohol will
>do to a diabetic. We find that physicians think they have diabetic
>retinopathy when they are going blind. It keeps their blood sugar out of
>control, many going into comas. Many have died!!!! People were telling
>me at the conference they had relatives that had switched from saccharin
>to NutraSweet and how they had gone into comas, the doctors couldn't
>figure out why they couldn't keep their sugar under control, and
>eventually they had died - and they had lost their memory in the end.
>
>Memory loss is due to the fact that the aspartic acid and phenylalanine
>are neurotoxic without the other amino acids in protein and 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.
>He's written a book about it called EXCITOTOXINS; THE TASTE THAT KILLS
>(Health Press - 1 800 -643-2665). Dr. H. J. Roberts, diabetic specialist
>and world expert has just written DEFENSE AGAINST ALZHEIMERS DISEASE
>( 1 800 -814-9800) and tells how this is escalating Alzheimers Disease.
>And indeed it is, as the same hospice nurse told me 30 year old women are
>being admitted with Alzheimers.
>
>I will ask Dr. Roberts and Dr. Blaylock since they are top experts and
>understand how methanol toxicity mimics multiple sclerosis to write a
>position paper and MISSION POSSIBLE will add some case histories or they
>will, and we will post it and put it on this network. According to the
>Conference we're talking about a plague of neurological diseases caused
>by this deadly poison.
>
>Dr. Roberts realized what was happening when aspartame was first marketed
>because he said his diabetic patients presented with memory loss and
>confusion and severe vision loss.
>
>At the Conference of the American College of Physicians, doctors admitted
>they didn't know. They 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 i left for the conference I got a fax from Norway asking for
>a antidote because they are having so many problems in their countries.
>This poison is now in 90+ countries of the world!
>
>Fortunately, we had speakers and ambassadors at the Conference from
>different nations who are going help. We ask that you help too. Print
>this out and warn everyone you know. Take anything with this product
>back to the store. Take the "No Aspartame Test" and send us your case
>history.
>
>I assure you that Monsanto knows how deadly this is. They fund the
>American Diabetic Association, American Dietetic Assn., Congress, etc.
>The New York Times on November 15 ran an article on how the American
>Dietetic Assn. takes money from the food industry to endorse their
>products and, therefore, cannot criticize any additive - and told about
>their link to Monsanto. How bad is this? We told a mother who had a
>child on NutraSweet having a grand mal seizure everyday to get off the
>product. She called her physician who called the ADA who told the doctor
>not to take the baby off NutraSweet. We're still trying to convince the
>mother this is causing the seizures. Everytime we get someone off of
>aspartame the seizures stop! If the baby dies you know whose fault it
>is, and what we're up against!
>
>There are 92 documented symptoms on aspartame from coma to death - the
>majority of them are all neurological because aspartame destroys the
>nervous system!
>
>This is a warning: OUTBREAK; ASPARTAME DISEASE! This is probably what
>is behind 6000 deaths from Desert Storm. The burning tongue discussed on
>60 Minutes is the methanol breaking down. Aspartame liberates methanol
>in the can at 86 degrees. Diet drinks sat in the 120 degree Arabian sun
>for 8 weeks at a time on pallets and the servicemen drank them all day long.
>All their symptoms are identical to aspartame disease. Dr. Roberts says
>that a man consuming aspartame at the time of conception can cause birth
>defects in his child - as well as the mother using it. The phenylalanine
>concentrates in the placenta causing mental retardation according to Dr.
>Louis Elsas (Pediatric Professor - genetics) at Emory University in his
>testimony before Congress which we have on email!
>
>In the original lab tests animals developed brain tumors (phenylalanine
>breaks down into DKP, a brain tumor agent). When Dr. Espisto was
>lecturing on aspartame one physician in the audience, evidently a
>neurosurgeon, said when they remove brain tumors they have aspartame in them!
>
>Stevia, a sweet food, not an additive, that helps in the metabolism of
>sugar which would be ideal for diabetics, has now been approved as a
>dietary supplement -- after years of having it outlawed by the FDA,
>obviously because of their loyalty to Monsanto. We have a resource list
>for diabetics with safe sweeteners.
>
>If it says sugarfree - don't even think about it!!!!
>
>I do have the 92 documented symptoms from the FDA on email, case
>histories on people diagnosed with MS that reversed and other material.
>However, I've been out-of-town until last night and I'm swamped with
>hundreds of requests. If you want more information it may take awhile
>for me to get it to you. But in the meantime - as Dr. Whitaker says -
>get it out of the house - children may live there!
>
>A bill was written by Senator Howard Metzenbaum that would have warned
>all infants, pregnant mothers and children off aspartame - and instituted
>INDEPENDENT studies on the problems existing in the population -
>seizures, change in brain chemistry, change in neurological and behavioral
>symptoms. It was killed by the power of the drug/chemical company,
>letting loose the hounds of disease and death on an unsuspecting public!
>
>Since the conference we probably will have some help from world leaders.
>Help us too - there are a lot of people on this planet that have to be
>warned -- and we have to get to all neurologists and neurosurgeons.
