Truvia Reactions

Excerpt:

Dear Sherrel,

Thank you for your note. As I told you by phone we have been getting
quite a few reactions from Truvia. Pure stevia is fine but Truvia is
made by Coke, and has chemicals. It is sweetened with Erythritol and
has added an ingredient of stevia only. In fact, I did an expose on
it which was shown in France. You can be sure if Coke and Pepsi
have anything to do with sweeteners we have no way of assuring
safety. Here is an email I wrote about
it: http://www.mpwhi.com/health_problems_and_truvia.htm and an
investigation by Arthur Evangelista who use to work for the FDA.

Also, what worries me is aspartame and MSG are hidden in artificial
and natural flavors. As a heart patient you have to be absolutely
sure you never get aspartame. It even damages the cardiac conduction
system and causes sudden death:
http://www.wnho.net/aspartame_and_arrhythmias.htm and
http://www.wnho.net/aspartame_msg_scd.htm They know that aspartame
is addictive and sells lots of pop. So unless somebody analyzes
Truvia we have no idea what is causing people to have all these
reactions from it. The reactions you describe are exactly like
aspartame which causes chemical hypersensitization. One man got off
it and got well, and then later was given a cookie sweetened with
aspartame and had tachycardia, fast heart rate, so bad they had to
stop his heart to save his life.

I would stay away from artificial sweeteners. Just Like Sugar is
okay because its food and not additives, just chicory used 70 years
to improve the health of diabetics. There have been no reactions to
it or complaints. Stevia that you get from a health food store is
fine as long as it does not contain additives. In Brazil they even
add aspartame to it. Until aspartame is removed from planet earth we
can’t be sure where its hidden. Somebody needs to analyze Truvia
because there are far too many complaints. I’m glad you have not
knowingly used aspartame. Below my signature is the Aspartame
Resource Guide with detox and other information. The knowledge will
prove useful to you. The detox is very helpful.

Linda’s comments….ok folks LISTEN UP and pay attention….Dr Gordon sent this post to his private health care professionals email group commenting on what Dr Mercola had sent to his newsletter lists….IT IS ALL TRUE…..I like the idea of organizing either patient office base, OR parents who are concerned….If you do organize a group make sure you research your STATE LAWS on vaccinations….also check the State Laws where your child will attend college. It is time we ALL start taking a stand against being forced by the government and schools to take the toxic vaccines…..Personally I would NEVER advise anyone to take vaccines….my heart breaks for our military …they are forced and a large percentage of them become very sick and are a mess when discharged from the military….what is worse is our federal government DROPS THEM ON THEIR HEAD AND DON’T CARE……

We all need to stop the nonsense….take a stand….for groups of parents, groups in your neighborhoods, church and start making plans on how YOU are going to protect your families….enough is enough….TAKE A STAND TODAY…

Q: I would be very appreciative of professional advice regarding our 18 year old daughter who has to have a “mandatory” meningitis vaccine for admittance to college this September. After reading all the material that Dr. Gordon has presented on the forum, many of us as parents and clinicians hesitate and fear both the vaccine demanded for admission and its side effects. Thank you for your comments.

Comment:
Australia has finally recognized the direct link between flu vaccine and death. This is the kind of information you must get to your patients so they can stand up against the forces that will attack them for not vaccinating their children. The authorities saw enough convulsion and high fevers that they banned seasonal flu vaccines in children under 5.

Please stay fully informed on the latest developments in vaccine related facts as your credibility is on the line. Under the Vaccinations forum on FACT, you will find what the best things to do if you must be vaccinated, as well as forms and websites that will protect your child from “mandatory” requirements by schools.

A new book by Sherri Tenpenny is now available so in one affordable up to date fully referenced material you will be able to arm your patients with the facts they must have when their neighbor refuses to let their vaccinated children play with their unvaccinated child (see : www.DrTenpenny.com to order).

When patients are continually brain washed by a compliant media that lives on the income generated from the very companies whose product and services are keeping everyone sick, whether it is Agribusiness or big Pharma. Your patient senses that you believe that chemical pollution increases cancer yet the American Cancer Society denies this or patients might wake up and refuse chemotherapy and the polluters confuse them saying nothing is wrong with Bisphenol A.

And they are told that refusing vaccines puts the other child at great risk so you are un-American if you do not vaccinate your children and your animals. The problem is that so much of what we are being told by the “authorities” is just not true. But our patients are fighting their relatives who insist that all of alternative medicine is unproven quackery so compliance drops when we try to address the multifactorial nature of disease using, for example, my FIGHT program. It is so nice and easy when everything is just a simple Prozac or Lipitor deficiency and the tests and the treatment is all reimbursed.

I strongly advise your offering and even giving a discount on supplements to all patients who register and attend an annual HOW TO SURVIVE and thrive while living on a toxic planet conference you need to put on free for your patients and any family or friends they can get to accompany them. If you realize that it is impossible in the course of a standard medical visit to cover all your patients need to know to stay health between visits then you will see the need for semi-annual patient survival training all day sessions with a box lunch.

This way you see them in a local Holiday Inn or other large space that is affordable to you. Here you give them the facts you know that support what suggestions you are regularly trying to cover in office visits. The danger of our water and food and air today and the dangers of vaccines that are less effective and more dangerous than they are being told and that nutritional supplements such as Vitamin D are essential today, as it is really suboptimal in most people today and getting enough can substantially lower the risk of many diseases.

We must take on our responsibilities, as educators, to our patients seriously and meet all day with them once or twice a year if we are to arm them adequately to fight back against the naysayers. They attack everything we say to optimize their chances for achieving optimal health and are continually being derided by mainstream media and often by neighbors and relatives who tell them everything in CAM medicine is nonsense.

This ban by the Australian government of season flu vaccines will arm your patients with ammunition to help them fight the vaccine industry back but this is just the tip of the iceberg. Details like this provide your patients with ammunition to assist them in fighting back against arguments all around them that insist they are dangerous and incompetent if they do not go along with standard vaccine schedules.

Amazingly, this Country Actually Bans the Flu Vaccine

Posted By Dr. Mercola | May 15 2010 | 54,023 views

Seasonal flu vaccinations have been suspended in Australia for all children under the age of five. The suspension comes after 23 children in Western Australia were admitted to hospitals with convulsions after receiving flu injections.

More than 250 children may have had adverse reactions to the vaccine, with symptoms including fever, vomiting and convulsions.

WA Today reports that:
“Another 40 convulsion cases had been detected in the past month in children at other metropolitan hospitals … Doctors are now working to determine how many of those children received the flu vaccine.”

Formaldehyde Facts

Formaldehyde Facts

=================

Angel P. wrote:

DOn’t forget …from the Formaldehyde Institute other names it is known

as:

“…. Ivalon, Quaternium-15, Lysoform,

Formalith, BVF, Methylene oxide, Formalin, Morbicid, Methanal, Methyl

aldehyde, Oxomethane, Formic aldehyde, Fannoform, Fyde, Lofol,

Oxymethylene, Formol, and Superlysoform…”

Quaternium-15 is in almost EVERY cosmetic and hair care product

When we pick up a product at the local grocery store, most of us like to think we are getting something that has been tested and proven to be safe. After all, we have laws to protect our health and safety, don’t we? Actually, the government has very limited power to regulate manufacturers, or require testing of their products.

Here are some disturbing facts:

A product that kills 5-% of lab animals through ingestion or inhalation can still receive the federal regulatory designation non-toxic . Of the 17,000 chemicals that appear in common household products, only 30% have been adequately tested for their negative effects on our health; less than 10% have been tested for their effect on the nervous system; and nothing is known about the combined effects of these chemicals when mixed within our bodies. No law requires manufacturers to list the exact ingredients on the package label.

Personal care product refers to just about anything we use to clean our bodies or make ourselves look or smell good. The closest thing to a regulatory agency for the personal care industry is the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and their power is extremely limited.

Here are more unsettling facts regarding personal care products:

The FDA cannot regulate a personal care product until after it is released into the marketplace. Neither personal care products nor their ingredients are reviewed or approved before they are sold to the public.

The FDA cannot require companies to do safety testing on their personal products before they are sold to the public.

The FDA cannot require recalls of harmful personal care products from the marketplace.

The National Institute of Occupational Safety and health (NIOSH) analyzed 2983 chemicals used in personal care products. The results were as follows:

884 of the chemicals were toxic

314 caused biological mutation

218 caused reproductive complications

778 caused acute toxicity

148 caused tumors

376 caused skin and eye irritations.

Warning: You Can’t Trust Warning Labels!

You may think you know what is in a product and its potential harms by reading ingredient and warning labels. Think again. Manufacturers are not required to list the exact ingredients on the label. Also, chemical names are often disguised by using innocuous trade names.

So, even if the chemical is listed on the label, you may not recognize it for what it is. Even if the harsh and dangerous active ingredients are listed on a package, often time the remainder of ingredients are lumped into a category known as inert (not active) ingredients.

This term may lead you to believe that these chemicals are not toxic or hazardous. In fact, many of the 1,000 different chemicals used as inert ingredients are more harmful than the active ingredients. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) does not require manufacturers to identify most inert chemicals, or disclose their potential harmful effects. Even suspected carcinogens (cancer-causing agents) are used as inert ingredients in household products.

Regarding warning labels. One New York study found that 85% of products they examined had incorrect warning labels. Some were labeled poisonous, but weren’t; others were poisonous but weren’t labeled as such; others gave incorrect first aid information. And there are absolutely no warnings on products about possible negative effects of long-term exposure. This is unfortunate because most diseases linked to chemical exposure are the result of long-term exposure.

If we don’t know what is in it, and we don’t know if it can hurt us, how are we supposed to make an intelligent decision about whether or not to bring this product into our home?

Cleaning products (just a few that I know are used in house cleaning)

Air freshener- toxic; may cause cancer; irritates, nose, throat, and lungs.

Disinfectant- very toxic; causes skin, throat, and lung burns; causes coma.

Drain cleaner- toxic; causes skin burns; causes liver and kidney damage.

Oven cleaner – toxic; causes skin, throat and lung burns.

Window Cleaner- toxic; causes cns disorders; causes liver and kidney disorders.

Floor/Furniture polish – toxic causes cns disorders, may cause lung cancer Spot remover- toxic; may cause cancer, may cause liver damage.

All Purpose Cleaner – causes eye damage; irritates nose, throat and lungs.

Toilet bowl cleaner – very toxic; causes skin, nose, throat and lung burns.

Chlorinated scouring powder- toxic; highly irritating to nose, throat and lungs.

Dishwasher Detergent – toxic; causes eye injuries, damage to mucous membranes and throat.

As I said just a few.

One Common Ingredient Although it would take a second book to cover all the ingredients commonly used in the products above, I want to let you know about one, formaldehyde, as an example. Formaldehyde is used frequently in both cleaning and personal care products because it is a cheap preservative. The following information is taken from a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) which , by law, must be supplied to anyone who uses any chemical product in the workplace. The MSDS for formaldehyde warns: Suspected carcinogen; may be fatal if inhaled, swallowed, or absorbed through the skin; causes burns; inhalation can cause spasms; edema (fluid buildup) of the larynx and bronchi, and chemical pneumonitis, extremely destructive to the tissue of the mucous membrane. All these symptoms and more are caused by formaldehyde. Yet manufacturers can put formaldehyde in shampoo and not list it as an ingredient! You will be shocked to learn that formaldehyde is a common ingredient in baby shampoo, bubble bath, deodorants, perfume, cologne, hair dye, mouthwash, toothpaste, hair spray and many other personal care items.

Formaldehyde is a suspected carcinogen. If all cancers start with the abnormal growth of just one cell, then why allow any amount into or onto your body?

Toxic Chemicals and the Human Body Your body is a very complex, very fragile system of chemical reactions and electrical impulses. When you consider a single cell breathes, uses energy, and releases waste much like your whole body does, you can begin to understand how even small amounts of harmful chemicals can affect the performance of the body’s processes. Chemicals enter the human body in three ways: ingestion, inhalation, and absorption.

Ingestion brings to mind the image of a young child opening the cabinet under the sink and drinking something deadly. Well, each year nearly 1.5 million accidental ingestion’s of poisons are reported to U.S. Poison Control Centers. The majority of the victims are under the age of twelve and have swallowed a cleaning or personal care product.

It amazes me how many deadly chemicals are stored under sinks or on bathroom counters and bathtubs within easy reach of young children.

Inhalation It may surprise you to learn that poisoning by inhalation is more common and can be much more harmful, than ingestion. When something harmful is swallowed, the stomach actually begins breaking down and neutralizing the poison before it is absorbed into the bloodstream.

However, when you inhale toxic fumes, the poisons go directly into the bloodstream and quickly travel to organs like the brain, heart, liver and kidneys. Many products give off toxic vapors which can irritate your eyes, nose, throat and lungs, and give you headaches, muscle aches, and sinus infections. The process of releasing vapors into the air is called out gassing. Out gassing occurs even when a chemical is tightly sealed in its container. If you doubt this, simply walk down the cleaning aisle at your local grocery store, and notice how strongly it smells of toxic vapors, even though the containers are sealed tight.

Absorption Most people never guess this.

Finally, you need to realize the potential threat absorption poses.

One square centimeter of skin (less than the size of a dime), contains 3 million cells, four yards of nerves, one yard of blood vessels, and one hundred sweat glands. We’ve all heard the ads for nicotine patches and analgesic creams. These medicines work by being absorbed into the bloodstream through the skin. Even some heart medicines are administered through transdermal (through the skin) patches. Any chemical that touches the skin can be absorbed and spread throughout the body. This can even happen when you come in contact with a surface that was treated with a chemical days or even weeks earlier. I had no idea that my children could be harmed by crawling across the kitchen floor we had just cleaned. I thought that we were being conscientious, not reckless.

Thank you Angel Para for your outstanding comments.

What Is Formaldehyde?

Formaldehyde is a colorless gas compound (HCHO) that can irritate eyes, mucous membranes and the upper respiratory system. It can be inhaled or absorbed by the skin. Formaldehyde is also a metabolic product of normal living cells. Formaldehyde is an excellent resin and binding agent and is very inexpensive to produce which contributes to it’s wide usage (approximately 6 billion pounds are produced each year). The only way for you to know how much formaldehyde may be in your home is to test.

Where Can Formaldehyde Be Found?

Formaldehyde is found virtually everywhere, indoors and out, naturally occurring and man-made. It is a combustion product found in cigarette and wood smoke, natural gas, kerosene, exhaust from automobiles, incinerators and power plants. It is also widely used in building materials especially glue, Urea-formaldehyde foam insulation and pressed-wood products such as plywood, particle board, paneling and wood finishes. Many floor coverings contain formaldehyde such as carpet as well as furnishings. Also used in paper products, cosmetics, deodorants, shampoos, fabric dyes and permanent-press fabrics, inks, and disinfectants. Another common place to find formaldehyde that seems out of place is in products that are supposed to make our homes smell better such as air and carpet deodorizers. Mobile homes, motor homes, and travel trailers are known for high amounts of formaldehyde since so many of their components may be made from particle board or pressed-wood products. The number of products that contain formaldehyde are as astounding as it is depressing.

Why Is Formaldehyde Dangerous?

Even in small amounts formaldehyde can cause serious health problems and unfortunately takes years to finally dissipate after being used in manufactured products. In some cases, exposure to formaldehyde can increase a persons sensitivity to other irritants or chemicals that were never a problem in the past, making them allergic to almost anything. For some people, past exposure to formaldehyde has permanently impaired their health and well being for the rest of their lives.

What Are The Health Effects Of Formaldehyde?

Symptoms of low-level exposure include; runny nose, sore throat, cough, dermatitis, sleeping difficulties, headache, fatigue, breathing difficulties, sinus irritation, chest pain, frequent nausea, bronchitis, and decreased lung capacity. Signs of acute exposure include; abdominal pain, anxiety, coma, convulsions, diarrhea, and respiratory problems such as bronchitis, pneumonia or pulmonary edema.

How Do I Test For Formaldehyde?

A Do-It-Yourself Test Kit is available from Professional House Doctors, Inc. that measures concentrations as low as 0.02 ppm, is easy to use, with complete instructions, and contains enough solution to run 3 separate tests.

If There Is A Problem How Do I Fix It?

Finding and removing the source is the most effective, but can be costly. Reducing the temperature and lowering the humidity level to approximately 35 percent can also help to diminish the effects. Formaldehyde tends to double its level of outgassing for every 10°F increase in temperature. There are also some surface barriers available to cover and reduce the formaldehyde outgassing from some components. Many other methods are available depending upon the source and amount of formaldehyde present. Further details are included with each test kit.
