> When the temperature of Aspartame 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 multiple sclerosis ­ thus
> people are being diagnosed with MS in error. MS is
> not a death sentence ­ methanol toxicity is.
>
> Systemic lupus has become almost as rampant as MS,
> especially among Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi drinkers.
> As with methanol toxicity, the victims usually drink
> 3 to 4 12 oz cans of ÅedietÅf drink a day, some of
> them even more. In the cases of systemic lupus which
> are 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 it can become life threatening.
> When people get off the aspartame, those with
> systemic lupus usually become asymptomatic.
> Unfortunately, we cannot reverse this disease. On
> the other hand, in the case of those diagnosed with
> MS (when in reality the disease is methanol
> toxicity), most of the symptoms disappear. There
> have been cases where visions and even hearing has
> returned. This also applies to cases of tinnitus.
>
> During a lecture I said "If you use 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 ŒI¹ve got
> this ­ is it reversible?¹ It is rampant. Even some
> of the speakers at my lecture were suffering from
> these symptoms. In one lecture attended by the
> Ambassador of Uganda, he told us that their sugar
> industry is adding aspartame and that the son of one
> of the industry leaders could no longer walk ­ due
> in part to product usage.
>
> We have a very serious problem. Why do so many
> people seem to be coming down with MS? During a
> visit to a hospice, a nurse said that 6 of her
> friends, all Diet Coke addicts, had all been
> diagnosed with MS. This is beyond coincidence.
>
> Here is the problem. There were Congressional
> Hearings when Aspartame was included in 100
> different products. Since this initial hearing, here
> have been 2 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. It
> takes longer to quietly kill, but it is killing
> people and causing all kinds of neurological
> problems.
>
> Aspartame changes the brain¹s chemistry ­ it alters
> the level of dopamine. It is the reason for severe
> seizures. Imagine what this drug does to patients
> suffering from Parkinson¹s Disease.
>
> There is absolutely no reason to use this product.
> It is not a diet product. The Congressional record
> said ÅeIt makes you crave carbohydrates and will
> make you FAT!Åf 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 thighs and hips.
>
> 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
> diabetic relatives who switched from saccharin to an
> aspartame product - and 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 stimulate 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)
>
> DrHJ Roberts, diabetic specialist and world expert
> on aspartame poisoning, has also written a book
> (Defense against Alzheimer¹s Disease
> 1-800-814-9800). Aspartame poisoning is escalating
> Alzheimer¹s Disease ­ women are being admitted to
> hospices at the age of 30 with Alzheimer¹s.
> According to the Conference of the American College
> of Physicians, ŒWe are looking at a plague of

> There are 92 documented symptoms of aspartame,

> This drug also causes birth defects. Dr Roberts says
