>drinkers. Also, with methanol toxicity, the victims usually drink three to
>four 12oz. cans of them per day, some even more. In the cases of systemic

>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,
>'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, 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, 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 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.

>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).

>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
