> Spoonful'. In the keynote address by the EPA, they announced that there
> as an epidemic of multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus, and they did

> When the temperature of Aspartame exceeds 86 degrees F, the wood alcohol
> in ASPARTAME coverts 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
> asrampant as multiple sclerosis, especially 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 asymptotic. Unfortunately, we cannot 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

> 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, 'I 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,

> 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 as
> 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--DEADLY POISONS!!! Unfortunately, it just takes

> 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

> 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 found 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 lost it on the Internet. According to the Conference of the
> American College of Physicians, 'We are talking about a plague of

> Dr. Roberts realized what was happening when aspartame was first

> confusion, and severe vision loss. At the Conference of the American
> College of Physicians, doctors admitted that they did not know. They had

> 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
