I’m not sure how much of this applies to anybody…but if you think you
might have problems with lupus, MS or aspartame, it’s interesting!

Aspartame Crisis Posed To World Environmental Conference
By Betty Martini
8-17-00

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 I was there to lecture on exactly that subject.

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 as
rampant 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 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 to product usage!
We have a very serious problem.

During a visit to a hospice, a nurse said that six of her friends, who
were heavy Diet Coke drinkers, had all been diagnosed with MS. This is
beyond coincidence. Here is the problem.

There were Congressional Hearings when Aspartame was originally included
as a sweetener 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 drugs as cyanide and arsenic
- 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 the fact that aspartic acid and phenylalanine
are neurotoxic without the other amino acids found 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 Association, American Dietetic Association
Congress, and the Conference of the American College of Physicians. The
New York Times, November 15, 1996, ran an article on how the American
Dietetic Association takes money from the food industry to endorse their
products. Therefore, they cannot 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 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 servicemen 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."

According to Dr. Louis Elsas, Pediatrician and Professor of Genetics at
Emory University, In his testimony before Congress: The phenylalanine
concentrates in the lacenta, causing mental retardation. 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 FDA for years, the FDA 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 Hetzenbaum 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
inneurological 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 several 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.
