Request for letter to New Mexico Board of Pharmacy:
By Stephen Fox
Posted: 05 November 2005

This is an effort to get aspartame out of drugs, and let the Board know that
aspartame is a drug that interacts with all drugs and vaccines. Especially
get aspartame out of vitamins and drugs for children.--
Betty Martini, D. Hum. (honorary).

Letters to the New Mexico Pharmacy Board from aspartame victims,
knowledgeable physicians, lawyers, activists, and legislators, even from
out- of-state, have an enormously beneficial effect on their decision and
their deliberations.
We know this from prior experience with the New Mexico Environmental
Improvement Board, particularly with the kind of brilliant letters written
by Dr. H.J. Roberts M.D.; Betty Martini D.Hum.; Dr. R. Walton M.D.;
Ecologist medical editor Pat Thomas; documentary filmmaker Cori Brackett;
WNHO Director, Dr. Bradley Carey; Arizona medical librarian Karen Ulehla;
Texas attorney Ed Johnson, and Washington D.C. consumer attorney Jim Turner.
Because you are concerned about getting rid of aspartame in children's
medications, vitamins, and aspirin, or you or a family member are a victim
of aspartame poisoning, WE URGENTLY NEED THESE SAME KINDS OF LETTERS TO BE
SENT BEFORE NOVEMBER 12, TO:
Woodrow Storey R. Ph., Chairman, New Mexico Pharmacy Board
Amy Buesey R.Ph., Vice Chair Members of the Board
in care of the Board Administrator: william.harvey@...
Please ask that your letter be included in the official Comment File on this
petition, which will become more official when they resolve to schedule an
evidentiary hearing on this issue, and I am certain they will do so.
These things get done in stages.
Pediatrician Ken Stoller and I have been given one hour to make the
presentation on Aspartame in medications and vitamins, and Thimerosal in
vaccines.
More information about the board is on the website for the New Mexico Board
of Pharmacy, and letters can be sent to them individually, thus saving some
time in the relaying process.
Please don't telephone them in advance: emailed letters be more effective.
The petition for the proposed additions to the NM Administrative Code, a new
chapter on neurotoxins, can be found in its entirety on the website for the
World Natural Health Organization.
Please note that it also would prohibit henceforth the use of the
mercury-based Thimerosal in vaccines administered in New Mexico,
another ghastly and incontrovertible source of neurotoxins, and one of the
very most serious scourges of modern health and epidemiology.
If you have any questions, or if you want to achieve the same goal in your
state, please don't hesitate to email me, Stephen Fox, Author of the
Petition.
Thank You, Stephen Fox

this summer.

"Right now, it's good to find out the basics," Buffie Saavedra, director of

Any unsuspected source of methanol, which the body always quickly and
largely turns into formaldehyde and then formic acid, must be monitored,
especially for high responsibility occupations, often with night shifts,
such as pilots and nuclear reactor operators.


http://groups.yahoo.com/group/aspartameNM/message/1237
ubiquitous potent uncontrolled co-factors in nutrition research are
formaldehyde from wood and tobacco smoke and many sources,
including from methanol in dark wines and liquors, in pectins
in fruits and vegetables, and in aspartame: Murray 2005.11.11


As a medical layman, I suggest that evidence mandates immediate
exploration of the role of these ubiquitious, potent formaldehyde sources
as co-factors in epidemiology, research, diagnosis, and treatment in a
wide variety of disorders.

Folic acid, from fruits and vegetables, plays a role by powerfully
protecting against methanol (formaldehyde) toxicity.

Many common drugs, such as aspirin, interfere with folic acid,
as do some mutations in relevant enzymes.

The majority of aspartame reactors are female.

Dark wines and liquors, as well as aspartame, provide
similar levels of methanol, above 100 mg daily, for
long-term heavy users, 2 L daily, about 6 cans.

Methanol is inevitably largely turned into formaldehyde,
and thence largely into formic acid.
It is the major cause of the dreaded symptoms of "next
morning" hangover.

Fully 11% of aspartame is methanol -- 1,120 mg aspartame
in 2 L diet soda, almost six 12-oz cans, gives 123 mg
methanol (wood alcohol). If 30% of the methanol is turned
into formaldehyde, the amount of formaldehyde, 37 mg,
is 18.5 times the USA EPA limit for daily formaldehyde in
drinking water, 2.0 mg in 2 L average daily drinking water,
