Diet Sodas
I hope you’ll want to learn more and let me help you to
get into the best shape of your life.
I recently received an email from a Naturopathic friend of mine who had
recently returned from a conference and wanted to share with me an
amazing story of another doctors personal experience with diet sodas and
in particular aspartame. The content of the email was so powerful that
I had to share with you, and hope you will share with others.
In October of 2001, this doctor’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. 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 the 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!
At
the WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL CONFERENCE in the keynote address, 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 (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 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. One of doctors speaking at the conference 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!
At one clinic it was stated that once free of the 'diet products' and
with no significant increase in exercise; patients lost an average of 19
pounds over a trial period.
Aspartame is especially dangerous for diabetics. Some physicians, who
believed that they had a patient with retinopathy, in fact, had symptoms
caused by Aspartame.
The Aspartame drives your 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
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 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.
It may also 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 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
[organizations] 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 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!
