5’MTHF issues are much more complex than is generally recognized, so normal test results can mean nothing. Whatever you knew until today is not enough to protect your patients and loved ones.

The attached NEJM article from July 9 adds considerable likelihood that when someone tells you that the patient’s nutritional status is just fine, they very likely may be dead wrong. The patient suffers seizures and mental disorders that fail to respond to anything because you had not read the attached, which found that the level of folic acid was fine everywhere except in the cerebral spinal fluid. Now they can explain what is going on and it amenable to proper folate treatment, as found in Beyond B-12 sublingual tablets available only from Longevity Plus.

Excerpt:

In infantile-onset cerebral folate deficiency, 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5MTHF) levels in the cerebrospinal fluid are low, but folate levels in the serum and erythrocytes are normal. We examined serum specimens from 28 children with cerebral folate deficiency, 5 of their mothers, 28 age-matched control subjects, and 41 patients with an unrelated neurologic disorder. Serum from 25 of the 28 patients and 0 of 28 control subjects contained high-affinity blocking autoantibodies against membrane-bound folate receptors that are present on the choroid plexus.

Aspartame Toxicity with Betty Martini http://lymebook.com/fight/aspartame-toxicity-with-betty-martini/ http://lymebook.com/fight/aspartame-toxicity-with-betty-martini/#respond Tue, 19 Jul 2011 05:47:57 +0000 http://lymebook.com/fight/?p=2581 LINDA comment:   Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy can disappear when you stop drinking Aspartame….problem is, it is difficult to get one’s head wrapped around this….believe it or not, there are doctors, whom I might add are very smart about many things, they continue to drink Aspartame and not inform their patients…..NOW THAT IS SCARY…..Like Betty says, just give it up for 60 days….Aspartame is VERY VERY addicting… I know, I had a personal addiction to it….was horrible to get off of…. I was sooooooooooo sick…diarrhea, vomiting, rash, anxiety, sweating, horrible body pain, the shakes…HORRIBLE JUST HORRIBLE….I even had to take benadryl shots around the clock to cut down the hives….my doctors said withdrawals from Aspartame is as bad as heroine addiction….    THANK GOD I GOT OFF IT….

Hi David,
What you read could be the case. I’ve seen it both ways. You can’t really predict because it takes in many factors like how long you have been on aspartame. what types you are using, and if you’re still getting some accidentally. As I told you Stuart Pape of the National Yoghurt Association has even petitioned the FDA to allow aspartame unlabeled n dairy and yogurt and the FDA has yet to answer one way or the other and I’ve asked twice. People can get it if they are using processed foods as many times it’s hidden in artificial and natural flavors. So many doctors do provide treatment for aspartame victims which does not work. As Dr. Roberts has explained many times, patients go from doctor to doctor having needless surgery and studies and spending hundreds of thousands of dollars when nothing is going to work until they get off aspartame. 

As a ballpark figure, we tell victims to get off aspartame for 60 days because by that time if they pay attention to diet and don’t get anymore of the poison a lot of symptoms by that time have vanished. There are some who get off aspartame, and even though they go through withdrawal symptoms, immediately have peripheral neuropathy and other problems disappear. Since you have used it for 20 years, it could take a few weeks to get rid of. I had not remembered you said 20 years but I would suggest you keep a diary. I remember there was one physician who had peripheral neuropathy and I think it took him about 5 weeks to get rid of the neuropathy, and his other symptoms vanished in that time too. Dave Rietz who founded www.dorway.com against aspartame had joint pain and peripheral neuropathy. He died from aspartame but he went to 12 physicians who were clueless when he was suffering so badly. Then he saw the list of 92 symptoms on the FDA report and got off of it. Immediately the vast numbers of problems due to aspartame including peripheral neuropathy disappeared. However, it was the prostate cancer from aspartame that killed him. Dr. George Schwartz , toxicologist wrote a paper on it. Aspartame literally destroyed his life. After abstaining he even lost 50 lbs, the joint pain and peripheral neuropathy immediately disappeared. His eyesight improved as well and memory loss and brain fog 

If you google aspartame and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy you’ll see the link. Also aspartame disease has many times mimicked Lyme Disease. Here is one article you might want to read. This physician says Aspartame locks the Lyme Disease spirochete into the body. http://www.samento.com.ec/sciencelib/addons/lymeRichler.htmThen you might want to read Dr. James Bowen’e paper on Lyme Disease and aspartame: Lyme Disease is Sexually Transmitted and Reactivated by aspartame.http://www.rense.com/general5/lyme2.htm 

Aspartame is hideously poisonous and can trigger or precipitate so many diseases its no wonder Dr. Roberts wrote a 1000 page medical text, Aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic, www.aspartameispoison.com He had to even cut it down 40% in the beginning because it was too big to publish. Now he says it will take 200 pages to bring it up-to-date with all the new studies. 

You have the link to Dr. Coldwell’s detoxification and Dr. Blaylock’s paper, “What to do if you have used aspartame”. That’s the way to begin. I’m sure there is a physician’s report on any problem you have from aspartame. So let me know and I’ll help provide you with the reports. 

All my best,
Betty

Splenda causing seizures? http://lymebook.com/fight/splenda-causing-seizures/ http://lymebook.com/fight/splenda-causing-seizures/#comments Fri, 06 May 2011 05:37:11 +0000 http://lymebook.com/fight/?p=2434 Linda’s comments:  ListenUP folks….here is more proof what you get when you drink Splenda….

Splenda Seizure 

Dear Tammy,

Meet Marianne Lamar.  Her husband had a seizure on Splenda.  She was 
so upset she really gave the company a hard time.  Finally!!! they 
did admit that Splenda causes seizures, and migraines.  She asked why 
they didn’t have a warning on them and was told well there aren’t 
that many of them.  Well, of course, if people don’t know Splenda 
causes seizures they wouldn’t associate them with the Splenda.  The 
truth of the matter is they didn’t want the FDA to know because they 
wouldn’t have approved it.  James Turner, Atty, who tried to prevent 
the approval of aspartame which is also a seizure triggering drug, 
has petitioned the FDA along with Citizens for Health  to ban Splenda 
and they have done absolutely nothing, this was years ago.  The FDA 
won’t do anything to help you, they are Big Pharma’s Washington 
Branch Office.  In fact, someone called me from the FDA and when I 
said people are sick and dying all over the world  from aspartame I 
was told, “So what, we need to depopulate!”  Congress just gave them 
more power so the first thing they did with it is go after a 
nutritional organization trying to help autistic children, even 
though they agreed to their demands.  I mean they went in with guns 
and even took office supplies.

In 1986 James Turner, atty, and the Community Nutrition Institute 
petitioned the FDA to ban aspartame because it caused seizures and 
people are going blind.  They refused.  It was taken all the way to 
the Supreme Court but I was told it was prevented by a corrupt 
judge.  Industry is very powerful and influential.  Also, Dr. James 
Bowen said if people go from aspartame to Splenda they can maintain 
the reactions from aspartame and pick up those from 
Splenda.  Aspartame causes polychemical sensitivity syndrome, same 
thing as MCS, and if you accidentally get some you can react.  One lady 
the other day accidentally got some aspartame and thought she was 
dying.  One lady in the movie, Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World, Cheryl 
Kemptner  told the hospital about this and still someone gave her 
Crystal Lite with aspartame and she became a code blue, and they had 
to resuscitate her to save her life.

So you are going to have to be very careful and stay away from 
processed foods.  They hide aspartame in artificial and natural 
flavors and MSG which has a synergistic and additive effect with 
aspartame.  In another email I will send you the Aspartame Resource 
Guide which will give you information on both aspartame and Splenda 
since you have used both. Marianne’s email is tlamar8@comcast.net   I 
will send a copy of this to James Turner, Atty and Citizens for 
Health who collect the cases.

While the FDA won’t help you, you can fill out the MedWatch form on 
their site as well as www.dorway.com  That way it will be on 
record.  I will also send the FDA this letter.  When a federal agency 
that is suppose to ensure safe food and drugs allows a seizure 
triggering drug on the market with full knowledge for 30 years you 
realize this agency is most responsible for unsafe food and drugs, 
and what they are known for now.  They have been told in the case of 
Marianne Lamar that her husband had a seizure on Splenda and the 
company to her it causes seizures, and they have ignored the whole 
situation as well as the citizens petition for ban for both aspartame 
and Splenda.

The Aspartame Resource Guide also has information on the studies on 
Splenda and what it does. You may want to subscribe to the Aspartame 
Information list on www.mpwhi.com  just to keep up-to-date and know 
what is going on.

If you have more questions please let me know.  More in the next 
email.  Be SURE to write your Congressman and Senator.  They will 
send a letter to the FDA and the FDA will answer them.  Then they 
will tell you this is what the FDA said.  Explain this to your 
congressman and Senator, that they will send propaganda of safety on 
the product, and to see the Aspartame Resource Guide.  That is the 
modus operandi!

All my best,
Betty

More on Aspartame… http://lymebook.com/fight/more-on-aspartame/ http://lymebook.com/fight/more-on-aspartame/#respond Tue, 05 Apr 2011 16:07:52 +0000 http://lymebook.com/fight/?p=2346

Linda’s comments:  I don’t know what it is going to take to get the FDA to ban Aspartame….I know a doctor who refuses to listen….yes, that is right, however, what she won’t admit to is she is ADDICTED, as those of us who have suffered and gone through the withdrawals can attest to.  There is a horrible addicting property to these DIET chemicals…..to me it is a crime to even allow them on the market….I can speak to this as I was once ONE of those people….my addiction to diet coke and diet dr pepper was over the top….they almost had to hospitalize me through the withdrawals.  My doctors said aspartame withdrawals are worse than heroin withdrawals….while I never did heroin, I can say THANK GOD, as the withdrawals I had from this deadly neurotoxin was HORRIFIC….and the damage it did to my liver is unbelievable…..all I can say is DO NOT TOUCH DIET ANYTHING…..I now use www.justlikesugarinc.com as it is made from chicory trees from the Brazilian Rain Forest.

Subj: [WNHO-Aspartame-Information] Seizures, stopped breathing and turned blue three times, aspartame
 

Hi Lucinda,

I’m so sorry of what has happened to your child.  Because of the fact
that each seizure was after some aspartame product, sugarfree Jello,
Diet Coke, Crystal Lite, etc. you should know that aspartame is a
seizure triggering drug.  Look at the FDA list of 92 symptoms and
notice how many times seizures are
listed:  http://www.mpwhi.com/92_aspartame_symptoms.pdf  I have it
here on FDA stationery because today they try and deny it.

The phenylalanine in aspartame as an isolate is neurotoxic, floods
the brain, lowers the seizure threshold and depletes
serotonin.  Lowered serotonin triggers psychiatric and behavioral
problems.  Aspartame damages the mitochondria or powerhouse of the
cell and interacts with all antidepressants.  What really makes it
bad is that all components of aspartame can trigger seizures,
aspartic acid, an excitotoxin that stimulates he neurons of the brain
to death causing brain damage, and the free methyl alcohol that
converts to formaldehyde and formic acid and causes metabolic
acidosis also can trigger seizures.

As I understand it your daughter used Crystal Lite during pregnancy
and some babies have been prone to seizures because their mother used
aspartame which causes birth
defects:  http://www.mpwhi.com/aspartame_causes_birth_defects.htm  Be
sure to print out this paper for your physician.

One of the pivotal studies that approved aspartame is a 52 week oral
toxicity study done on 7 infant monkeys. Five had grand mal seizures
and one died.

As soon as aspartame was approved people started having seizures big
time.  Dr. Wurtman said the 80 cases he collected was enough to have
FDA remove it from the market.  In 1986 James Turner, Atty and the
Community Nutritional Institute in Washington, D.C. petitioned the
FDA to ban aspartame because it was causing so many seizures and
people were going blind from the free methyl alcohol.  It was taken
all the way to the Supreme Court and with all this information to ban
it, it was stopped.  I heard it was because of a corrupt judge. They
had all the evidence so it should have been banned and someone at the
FDA meeting at the time said FDA was ready to take it off the shelves.

The FDA tried to have the manufacturer indicted for fraud because
they were not able to show safety and got caught doing such things as
excising brain tumors from rats and when they died they resurrected
them back on paper.

In another  email I will give you the Aspartame Resource Guide which
has the medical books, movie and even the history of how Rumsfeld got
it on the market after the FDA revoked the petition for
approval.  Aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic by H. J. Roberts,
M.D. has a chapter on drug interaction and you will notice it
interacts with anti seizure medication.  Your physician needs this
medical text and one by Dr. Blaylock titled “Excitotoxins: The Taste
That Kills”.  In this one it will tell you what to give your child
because a lot of problems may not show up until puberty.

You didn’t tell me what state you’re in, but if you do take this to
court we will give you all the information you need and there is a
movie being made, and telling your story in this film can save a lot
of other victims who have no idea its aspartame triggering the
seizures.  Dr. Sanchez here in Atlanta told me about a case where he
gave the lady every anti-seizure medication in the PDR and nothing
worked.  Then he put her in the hospital and happen to see a case of
Diet Coke under her bed.  He told her that was the problem and she
had to get off of it.  She went crazy he said (its very addictive and
withdrawal problems are sometimes hard to cope with) and was admitted
to a mental hospital.  Two weeks later she got out, no more seizures
and no more mental problems.  It was the aspartame in the Diet Coke
that kept causing her  seizures and he didn’t know that aspartame
interacted with anti-seizure medication.  Another physician in the
movie also told a similar story – off aspartame the patient stopped
having seizures.

Let me know you received this.  I wasn’t quite sure about your email address.

All my best,
Betty

Aspartame in All Soda? http://lymebook.com/fight/aspartame-in-all-soda/ http://lymebook.com/fight/aspartame-in-all-soda/#respond Tue, 12 Oct 2010 16:45:24 +0000 http://lymebook.com/fight/?p=1741 Dear Harry,

I haven’t heard this although Dr. James Bowen once told me every once 
in awhile they add it in some markets to see if people an tell.  Dr. 
Bowen has ALS from aspartame and like most aspartame victims is 
chemically hypersensitive for life.  An aspartame victim can always 
tell when aspartame is in a product, labeled or not.

The problem is the manufacturers know aspartame is addictive.  Like 
in the case of Mars I called them and asked if aspartame were in 
their products and they told me “yes, in Mars Bars”.  I said, “But 
its not labeled,” and they said, its under natural flavors.  I tried 
one and sure enough immediately got a headache.

Because of the chemical hypersensitization I tell aspartame victims 
over and over never to use processed foods because this and MSG are 
so often hidden.

As to soda, you have to remember that the National Soft Drink 
Association (now American Beverage) wrote a 33 page protest which was 
put in the congressional 
record.  http://www.mpwhi.com/open_letter_dick_adamson.htm  Adamson 
never answered this letter, of course.  So Coke and Pepsi knew 
without a shadow of a doubt the gun was loaded, and even note gave 
the law for adulteration so they knew it was illegal.  The reason it 
was added to the congressional record is that after absolute 
knowledge of what it would do to the public and protesting, they 
turned around and lobbied for NutraSweet.

I live in Atlanta, Georgia, home of Coca Cola and grew up on it.  As 
soon as I read this and realized they poisoned the public with full 
knowledge I stopped using any soda product.  Why would I give one 
penny of profit to a company that was poisoning the public with full 
knowledge.  Even when I get on a plane and there is nothing but Coke 
and Pepsi products I give out literature and drink nothing but 
water.  We also have Mission Possible Aviation because so many pilots 
have had seizures, cardiac problems, etc. and we’ve lost 6 on 
American.  One died in flight of sudden cardiac death while drinking 
a Diet 
Coke.  http://www.mpwhi.com/aspartame_awareness_weekend_2010.htm 
They landed the plane to remove the body and get another 
pilot.  Mission Possible Aviation was started when Cliff Evans 
crashed his plane on aspartame and lived to tell about it.  He came 
to Atlanta and asked me to alert the pilots.  I’ve also been told of 
other crashes including one jet in California due to aspartame.  The 
FAA says they can’t do anything about it because the FDA approved 
it.  However, a lot of FAA people warn pilots on the side.  There 
have been many studies including those by the military and one was 
done in South Dakota of recent years. So they are fully aware of how 
dangerous it is.  In fact, we have one lady who is an international 
flight attendant who flies our packets around the world to Air 
Traffic Control to keep the planes in the skies.   Dr. Roberts told 
me the story of talking to someone in Air Traffic Control drinking a 
Diet Coke and he couldn’t remember who he was or where he was.

Do you remember when they tried to put New Coke on the market.  A 
physician here in Atlanta said that was “aspartame 
Coke”.  Fortunately back then they didn’t get away with it because 
the public wouldn’t accept it.  They knew it was addictive and a cash 
cow.  The free methyl alcohol is classified as a narcotic.  It causes 
chronic methanol poisoning.  This affects the dopamine system of the 
brain and causes the addiction.

Over the years I have spoken to many, many informants.  In fact, I 
once said if I had time and wanted to write a book it would be called 
“Hearsay, I hear what you’re saying”.  One informant said a Pepsi 
employee told him that the National Soft Drink Association had done a 
10 year study showing Alzheimers, birth defects and blindness.  He 
said he was demoted because he told about it but that all people 
should be warned.  Do I believe its true?  Absolutely.  I ran into 
somebody from NSDA when I was giving out flyers in Tuesday Morning 
some years ago.  She kept saying aspartame was safe and when I 
mentioned the study she got all excited and said, “No way, you could 
have that study!”  That’s all she had to say.  Coke and Pepsi have 
been doing studies for years.  I even spoke to a man who use to work 
for Coke.  He said all he did was translate studies from around the 
world.  They were all bad.   They only publish studies controlled or 
financed by the manufacturers.  As one toxicologist said, “Didn’t you 
know that studies are down in foreign countries so the pharmaceutical 
industry will know how much they have to pay off congress for 
dangerous drugs.  For instance, the studies on laurel sulphate were 
done in Spain.”  Well, I did know many are.  I have an affidavit from 
Norma Vera, a translator who translated Searle’s studies done in 6 
countries that showed aspartame destroys the brain, triggers  brain 
tumors and seizures. hardens the synovial fluids and more.  The 
pregnant woman lost her baby, hemorrhaged and disappeared.  Some of 
the people in the died.  We almost had those studies and we will get them yet.

It was only yesterday that I learned an interesting point.  My 
husband and I were having breakfast at Christopher’s and we were in a 
hurry to get to a meeting.  I said, “Honey, we’re going to have to 
wait 30 minutes, why not eat at the counter”.  This nice man got up 
to make room and had people move down one so we would have two chairs 
together.  It was really bugging me he was drinking a Diet Coke and 
the waitress kept filing it up every time it got down to half a 
glass.  So I said to him, “You helped me, now let me help you”.  We 
had a long conversation and Don gave him some material.  He admitted 
that he was highly, highly addicted and couldn’t get off of it.  He 
also told me about a friend like him who was addicted and trying to 
get off of it after reading an article.  He was getting married and I 
explained to them about the birth defects, male sexual dysfunction 
and how his marriage could be destroyed if he didn’t get off of it, 
and Don invited them to dinner.

After they left I gave the waitress filing up the Diet Coke a little 
lecture and some material.  She said, “Thank you very much.  Actually 
I know how bad it is.  A physician came in one day and was talking 
about it. He did autopsies and said they always knew a user, and may 
have been what killed the person.  He said when they cracked the head 
you could always smell it.”  He was talking obviously about the 
formaldehyde.  I’ve spoken to physicians too who called about 
autopsied.  One at Emory called one day to say, as an example, they 
found un metabolized aspartame on the brain stem.  I’ve had people 
tell me aspartame was found in brain tumors, and also neurosurgeons 
have mentioned a green ring and a white ring that identified an 
aspartame user.   I’ve written to Christophers at least three times 
to remove aspartame and Splenda, and told them they could use packets 
of Just Like Sugar, a safe sweetener that is all food, no additives, 
analyzed and proven to be safe.  They didn’t even reply.

Neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock, M.D. in Excitotoxins: The Taste That 
Kills explained that for every molecule of aspartame metabolized, a 
molecule of methanol was released into the blood stream.

Monsanto, Ajinomoto, Searle, Merisant – all the aspartame 
manufacturers lie and say the free methyl alcohol does not get into 
the blood stream, and of course, it does.  In their own book, pro 
industry, significantly corporate sponsored it’s 
admitted:  Aspartame, Physiology and Biochemistry, Marcel Dekker, 
Inc., New York, L.D. Stegink and L. J. Filer, Jr., l984

Page 161: TISSUE DISTRIBUTION OF ORALLY ADMINISTERED ISOTOPICALLY 
LABELED ASPARTAME IN THE RAT Yoshimasa Matsuzawa and Yuichi O’Hara, 
Life Science Laboratory, Central Research Laboratories, Ajinomoto 
Company, Inc. Yokohama, Japan

Page 162: RESULTS: Phenylalanine Moiety: “The pattern of distribution 
of (U-14CPhe) aspartame following its oral administration was very 
similar to that of (U-14C) phenylalanine after 0.5, 2.6 and 24 hr and 
7 days. Thirty minutes after administration of these compounds, very 
high levels of radioactivity were observed in the lumen of the 
stomach and upper small bowel. Significant uptake of radioactivity 
was observed in the pancreas, gastrointestinal mucosa, hair 
follicles, salivary gland and liver. Radioactivity was observed in 
the kidney, adrenal gland, bone marrow, spleen and eye. Some 
radiolabel was localized to the BRAIN, SPINAL CORD, (emphasis added) 
heart, thymus, lung and testes.

So aspartame is a drug and not an additive, its an addictive, 
excitoneurotoxic, carcinogenic, genetically engineered drug and 
adjuvant that damages the mitochondria or powerhouse of the cell and 
interacts with drugs and vaccines.

Everything is a matter of public record and aspartame remains on the 
market illegally and killing people all over the world.  In fact, I 
flew to Barcelona and spoke with Dr. Maria Alemany who did the Trocho 
Study which proved the formaldehyde converted from the free methyl 
alcohol embalms living tissue and damages DNA  by which humanity can 
be destroyed.  He even went to officials in Spain and the police.  He 
told me aspartame would kill 200 million people and I told him I 
believed it already had.  What a hero.  So what did industry do – 
simply had one of their flacks try to rebut it who in the end 
admitted he used the wrong test. Yet government agencies still have 
the flacks information on their web site as if it was true.

What’s so bad is that while everything is a matter of public record 
and aspartame is clearly against the law, the power and influence of 
the aspartame industry keeps government agencies from removing 
it.  They continue to say its a safe when there is even medical texts 
on its dangers ( such as Aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic, 
www.sunsentpress.com by Dr. H. J. Roberts and Excitotoxins: The Taste 
That Kills by neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock, M.D., 
www.russellblaylockmd.com ), almost 100 per cent of independent, 
scientific peer reviewed research, aspartame detox centers, millions 
of articles and news reports and even the FDA’s own records.

Do you know the EPA even has a department that has to do with 
aspartame.  One of the informants worked for EPA in the early 90’s as 
a pathologist, must have been doing the autopsies on aspartame 
victims.  His name is Reginall Bundrage.  My husband and I met him 
one night and I kept giving him information on aspartame.  There are 
a lot of horrors most people don’t know but it turned that Reginall 
knew everything!!  He said, “I know more than you do, I worked with 
EPA as a pathologist on the aspartame issue.  I told them ‘how can 
this allowed, it’s constantly killing people?!!!!!’ ”  He said EPA 
told them the FDA would have to take it off the market pretty soon 
because of the amount of deaths.  Then Reginall said, “That was in 
the early 90’s and look at the date now.  They know its a killer and 
do nothing.”

Now Ajinomoto wants to get another aspartame product approved that 
has already been proven to interact, Advantame, and because we’ve 
gotten the information around the world, has changed the name of 
aspartame to 
AminoSweet. 
http://www.mpwhi.com/to_fda_open_letter_freedom_of_information_aspartame.htm 
Since the FDA is only loyal to industry and not the people I’m 
worried they will approve it.  I’ve asked people to send this open 
letter to all members of Congress.

All I can say, is “would you trust the pop companies”?  If not, do 
what we do, boycott Coke and Pepsi, and tell everybody.  Below my 
signature is the Aspartame Resource Guide, simply forward this note 
and the guide which has the history of how this chemical poison got 
marketed.   If I were you, I would ask your friend where he or she 
got the information and see if you can run it down.

All my best,

Studies have shown that sucralose can:

  * Cause the thymus to shrink by as much as 40% (the thymus is your 
immune powerhouse – it produces T cells)
* Cause enlargement of the liver and kidneys
  * Reduce growth rate as much as 20%
* Cause enlargement of the large bowel area
  * Reduce the amount of good bacteria in the intestines by 50%
  * Increase the pH level in the intestines (a risk factor for colon cancer)
  * Contribute to weight gain
  * Cause aborted pregnancy low fetal body weight
* Reduce red blood cell count

Particular warning to diabetics:  Researchers found that diabetic 
patients using sucralose showed a statistically significant increase 
in glycosylated hemoglobin, a marker that is used to assess glycemic 
control in diabetic patients. According to the FDA, “increases in 
glycosolation in hemoglobin imply lessening of control of diabetes.”

Ajinomoto just announced a new name for aspartame called 
AminoSweet.  Be warned.

Dear Ms. Oshita:

In reading available information, I assume you want mostly how 
aspartame relates to cancer.  Indeed it is a carcinogen, proven so by 
many scientific studies.  Aspartame also triggers many other serious 
diseases which fill the 1,000+ page medical text, Aspartame Disease: 
An Ignored Epidemic, 
<http://www.sunsentpress.com/>www.sunsentpress.com by H. J. Roberts, M.D.

When FDA Commissioner Dr. Von Eschenbach took office I wrote him 
about aspartame and cancer, mainly due to his professed intention to 
save cancer victims; so much of this has already been 
done. 
<http://www.mpwhi.com/project_recall_aspartame.htm>http://www.mpwhi.com/project_recall_aspartame.htm 
Later 12 toxicologists asked the FDA to ban aspartame because of the 
long term Ramazzini studies on large rat populations showing 
aspartame is “a multipotential carcinogen”. 
<http://www.cspinet.org/new/pdf/aspartame_letter_to_fda.pdf>http://www.cspinet.org/new/pdf/aspartame_letter_to_fda.pdf 

Now I’ll go back to the beginning.

Aspartame was not approved by science but thru the political 
chicanery of Don Rumsfeld.  D.C. Attorney James Turner, explains how 
Rumsfeld did it in the documentary Sweet Misery, a Poisoned World. 
Here’s a clip from the movie so you can hear what he 
said: 
<http://www.soundandfury.tv/pages/rumsfeld2.html>http://www.soundandfury.tv/pages/rumsfeld2.html

Searle’s problem was they couldn’t get studies to show safety.  For 
example, in  the Bressler 
Report: 
<http://www.mpwhi.com/aspartame_news.htm>http://www.mpwhi.com/aspartame_news.htm
you read where they would excise brain tumors from the rats, put them 
back in the study and after they died resurrected them back on paper. 
They even filtered out neoplasms to hide them from the 
FDA.  Repeatedly Searle was caught in this criminal activity.

On January 10, 1977 in a 33 page letter, FDA Chief Counsel Richard 
Merrill recommended to the Justice Department Attorney Sam Skinner 
that a grand jury investigate Searle for “apparent violations of the 
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, 21 USC 331 (e), and the False 
Reports to the Government Act, 18 U.S.C. 1001, for “their willful and 
knowing failure to make reports to the Food and Drug Administration 
required by the Act, 21 U.S.C 355 (i) and making false statements in 
reports of animal studies conducted to establish the safety of 
aspartame.” The FDA called special attention to studies investigating 
the effect of NutraSweet on monkeys and hamsters.

Searle was caught dead to rights, so they hired Skinner, made him a 
deal he couldn’t refuse. So the former Justice Department prosecutor 
became a defender.  Next at bat as                   U. S. Prosecutor 
was William Conlon, who promptly switched sides too. By then the 
statute of limitations had expired. Searle knew they couldn’t win the 
case so they simply hired the prosecutors.  The Godfather hired the 
District Attorneys!

Nevertheless the FDA had no intention of approving aspartame.  The 
fraud was so great that  Dr. John Olney (who with James Turner fought 
against approval of aspartame ) told Searle to do studies in his lab 
so he could see that they were done honestly, with supervision.  Dr. 
Olney believed the FDA wouldn’t approve aspartame because the studies 
showed it produced brain damaged.  What he didn’t anticipate is that 
Searle didn’t submit these findings to the FDA.

January 30, 1980 the Public Board of Inquiry revoked Searle’s 
petition for approval declaring that they had “not been presented 
with proof of reasonable certainty that aspartame is safe for use as 
a food additive.”   Searle had spent $17 million on an aspartame 
factory and had no intention of giving up, poison or no.  At this 
point they hired Donald Rumsfeld who said he would call in his 
markers and get it approved anyway.
What were those markers?  President Reagan had told Rumsfeld he would 
be nominated for vice president, but instead selected Bush number 1.

The day after Reagan took office he appointed Dr. Arthur Hull Hayes 
as the new FDA Commissioner, to over-rule the Board of 
Inquiry.  Reagan knew it would take 30 days to get Hayes to the FDA , 
so he wrote an Executive Order making the FDA powerless to do 
anything about aspartame.  At 3 AM that night a member of Reagan’s 
staff called the FDA Commissioner Jere Goyan and fired him.  Here is 
a letter from his wife who was there when the terminating call came 
in:  http://www.mpwhi.com/letter_about_jere_goyan.pdf

Once aspartame was on the market there was outrage as consumers were 
diagnosed with seizures, multiple sclerosis and blindness from the 
free methyl alcohol releases.  Senator Orrin Hatch, on Monsanto’s 
payroll, obstructed hearings on aspartame for years, but there were 3 
Congressional hearings from 1985 to l987.  Hatch was on Monsanto’s 
payroll, and kept  the bill in committee that would put a moratorium 
on aspartame until NIH completed independent studies on the flood of 
aspartame problems they were seeing: seizures, blindness, headaches, 
sexual dysfunction, behavioral problems, especially in children, drug 
interactions and birth defects.

About that time  Dr. James Bowen wrote FDA that “aspartame is mass 
poisoning of the American public and 70 countries” – today over 
100. 
<http://www.dorway.com/drbowen.txt>http://www.dorway.com/drbowen.txt 
The good doctor wrote: “For this reason, I am opposed to labeling 
aspartame content of food and drinks.  To do so would imply that the 
government is taking some sort of responsible action….when the only 
responsible action would be to immediately take aspartame off the 
market, fully disclose its toxicities, offer full compensation to the 
injured, public and criminally prosecute anyone who participated in 
the fraudulent placement of aspartame on the marketplace.”

How was the new FDA Commissioner,  Arthur Hayes,  get rewarded for 
over-ruling the Board of Inquiry?  He was hired as a consultant to 
NutraSweet’s PR Agency on a 10-year contract at $1,000.00 a day, and 
nobody’s heard a peep from him since, he got lockjaw.  Who ever heard 
of a PR guy who won’t talk?

Now they began funding professional organizations 
ladies-of-the-evening like the American Diabetes Assn, American 
Dietetic Assn and numerous others to propagandize the public with 
touting asparshame. Of course they also threatened scientists whose 
studies identified the toxicity of this poison. In the UPI 
Investigation Dr. Wurtman was threatened if he did studies on 
aspartame and seizures he would lose his funding. He capitulated. 
Read this report on the 8 month investigation by United Press 
International: 
<http://www.mpwhi.com/upi_1987_aspartame_report.pdf>http://www.mpwhi.com/upi_1987_aspartame_report.pdf 
Dr. Wurtman, too, got a terrible case of aspartame lockjaw, but MIT 
still gets the money.

ILSI, the International Life Sciences Institute, was born in 1978 as 
a “research” front for our favorite poisoners.  It’s board members 
are from Coke, Pepsi, Searle, Monsanto and the rest of the usual 
suspects. If a university won’t play their way the get no pay, that 
is to say, funding for fake “research”.

Over the years many independent studies have been done.  The 
manufacturers say 200 studies that aspartame is safe as rain.  Some 
of those were the ones FDA found fraudulent and sought prosecution 
for, and others were simply bought and paid for quack studies from 
rubber duck labs.

Consider seizure studies by Monsanto, they bought Searle in 
l985: 
<http://www.holisticmed.com/aspartame/abuse/seizures.html>http://www.holisticmed.com/aspartame/abuse/seizures.html 
Seizures are listed 5 times on the FDA report of 92 symptoms that 
range from male sexual dysfunction to 
death: 
<http://www.mpwhi.com/92_aspartame_symptoms.pdf>http://www.mpwhi.com/92_aspartame_symptoms.pdf 
People are having so many seizures and going blind on aspartame that 
the Community Nutrition Institute filed a petition to ban aspartame 
in l986. Again the manufacturers put in the fix to prevent it from 
being banned.
They were so worried someone would have a seizure they actually gave 
people anti-seizure medication in the Rowan study.  ‘

Another impeccable “study” involved one-day consumption of,  believe 
it or not:  a single capsule of aspartame. Tantamount to smelling the 
bottle.  The got it peer reviewed with their power.  So when 
consumers complain of seizures they say “we did studies and aspartame 
doesn’t cause seizures”.

                   I smoked a Lucky once and I’m fine, so nicotine 
doesn’t cause cancer!

They have all bases covered.  Today front groups like Calorie Control 
Council, with full knowledge that aspartame causes birth defects and 
mental retardation actually push the 
poison: 
<http://www.wnho.net/mh_aspartame_letter.htm>http://www.wnho.net/mh_aspartame_letter.htm

When 60 Minutes did a story about aspartame and brain tumors the 
manufactures claimed to have all these studies showing safety.  Dr. 
Ralph Walton who was on the show decided to research who funded the 
“studies”:<http://www.dorway.com/peerrev.html>http://www.dorway.com/peerrev.html 
Note that 92% of independent peer-reviewed studies show problems 
aspartame causes, while those funded or controlled by industry all 
say it’s safe. If you eliminate 6 studies the FDA, aspartame’s branch 
office in Washington, messed with, and one pro-aspartame sponsored 
summary, 100% of independent scientific peer reviewed studies show 
aspartame problems.

As Dr. Bowen said: this is mass poisoning of the world.  Aspartame 
destroys the brain, the optic nerve, the immune system and central 
nervous system.  It devastates every organ of the body.  Epidemic 
obesity, diabetes, sexual dysfunction, retinopathy and neuropathy, 
optic nerve destruction, convulsions and insulin reactions, MS, 
Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, IQ depreciation and dozens of other 
afflictions have been inflicted upon us by this deadly neurotoxic 
carcinogenic “sweetener”.

According to the prestigious Ecologist, aspartame was listed with the 
pentagon in an inventory of prospective biochemical warfare weapons 
submitted to Congress. 
<http://www.mpwhi.com/ecologist_september_2005.pdf>http://www.mpwhi.com/ecologist_september_2005.pdf

Studies show the horrific damage done to the body.  For instance, the 
Trocho Study shows the formaldehyde converted from the free methyl 
alcohol actually embalms tissue and damages DNA. 
<http://www.mpwhi.com/formaldehyde_from_aspartame.pdf>www.mpwhi.com/formaldehyde_from_aspartame.pdf

Here are summaries of the two aspartame studies, Ramazzini, that 
showed aspartame to be a  multipotential carcinogen, passed down 
through the mother:

DR. MORANDO SOFFRITTI, lead researcher on two groundbreaking 
long-term aspartame studies. He was recently honored at New York’s Mt 
Sinai School of Medicine with the Irving J Selikoff Award For his 
outstanding contributions to the identification of environmental and 
industrial carcinogens and his promotion of independent scientific 
research. Reviewing his two impeccable aspartame studies. Dr. 
Soffritti explains:

The first ERF study (2005) was conducted on 1800 Sprague-Dawley rats 
(100-150/per sex/per group) In order to simulate daily human intake, 
aspartame was added to the standard rat diet in quantities of 5000, 
2500, 100, 500, 20, 4, and 0 mg/Kg of body weight. Treatment of the 
animals began at 8 weeks of age and continued until spontaneous 
death. The results show that APM causes a statistically significant, 
dose-related increase of lymphomas/leukemias and malignant tumors of 
the renal pelvis in females and malignant tumors of peripheral nerves 
in males. These results demonstrate for the first time that APM is a 
carcinogenic agent, capable of inducing malignancies at various dose 
levels, including those lower than the current acceptable daily 
intake (ADI) for humans (50 mg/kg of body weight in the US, 40 mg/kg 
of body weight in the EU).

The second ERF study (2007) was conducted on 400 Sprague-Dawley rats 
(70-95/per sex/per group). In order to simulate daily human intake, 
aspartame was added to the standard rat diet in quantities of 100, 
20, and 0 mg/Kg of body weight. Treatment of the animals began on the 
12th day of fetal life until natural death. The results of the second 
study show an increased incidence of lymphomas/leukemias in female 
rats with respect to the first study. Moreover, the study shows that 
when lifespan exposure to APM begins during fetal life, the age at 
which lymphomas/leukemias develop in females is anticipated. For the 
first time, a statistically significant increase in mammary cancers 
in females was also observed in the second study. The results of this 
transplacental carcinogenicity bioassay not only confirm, but also 
reinforce the first experimental demonstration of APMs multipotential 
carcinogenicity.

Over six years ago I petitioned the FDA to ban aspartame.  The FDA 
has 180 days to answer it.  They refuse, obviously because I’m using 
their own words, and they don’t know how to get around the fact that 
everything is a matter of record.   If it wasn’t so criminal one 
would have to laugh at their propaganda – the idea that someone might 
even consider believing them.  For instance, they will tell you there 
is just a small amount of methanol, and there is more in 
oranges.  What they don’t say is that in oranges that it is 
accompanied by ethanol which is the classic antidote for methanol 
toxicity and takes it out of your body safely.  Here is a peer 
reviewed journal article about it. 
<http://www.mpwhi.com/aspartame_methanol_and_public_health.pdf>http://www.mpwhi.com/aspartame_methanol_and_public_health.pdf 
Methanol also binds to pectin.  In aspartame there is no 
ethanol.  Here is their basic propaganda answered with 
references: 
<http://dorway.com/dorwblog/?page_id=606>http://dorway.com/dorwblog/?page_id=606

A detox formula for aspartame victims endorsed by Dr. Russell 
Blaylock, Neurosurgeon: 
<http://www.wnho.net.wtdaspartame.htm/>www.wnho.net.wtdaspartame.htm 
Available are his excellent books and a CD :”The Truth About Aspartame”

There are efforts now in states and countries to rid the planet of 
aspartame.  It is genetically engineered.  The manufacturers are get 
people in high places addicted.  When I testified to the Senate in 
New Mexico, half the senators were sipping Diet Coke.  Presidents 
Clinton and Bush were addicted.  Methanol is classified as a 
narcotic, it causes chronic methanol poisoning. This effects the 
dopamine system of the brain producing addiction.

  I’ve lectured in other countries and I can tell you people are sick 
and dying the world over on this poison. It would be great to see it 
banned from California.  First of all its illegally on the market 
because it violates the Delaney Amendment.  Here are comments from an 
FDA toxicologist, Dr. Adrian Gross, to Congress on 8/1/85:

Dr. Gross testified that at least one of Searle’s studies “has 
established beyond ANY REASONABLE DOUBT that aspartame is capable of 
inducing brain tumors in experimental animals and that this 
predisposition of it is of extremely high significance. … In view 
of these indications that the cancer causing potential of aspartame 
is a matter that had been established WAY BEYOND ANY REASONABLE 
DOUBT, one can ask: What is the reason for the apparent refusal by 
the FDA to invoke for this food additive the so-called Delaney 
Amendment to the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act?”

The Delaney Amendment makes it illegal to allow any residues of 
cancer causing chemicals in foods. In his concluding testimony Gross 
asked, “Given the cancer causing potential of aspartame how would the 
FDA justify its position that it views a certain amount of aspartame 
as constituting an allowable daily intake or ‘safe’ level of it? Is 
that position in effect not equivalent to setting a ‘tolerance’ for 
this food additive and thus a violation of that law? And if the FDA 
itself elects to violate the law, who is left to protect the health 
of the public?” Congressional Record SID835:131 (August 1, l985)

Here is my letter to the Assembly Committee on Health which exposes 
the fact that it’s adulterated: 
<http://www.mpwhi.com/letter_to_a_n_kim_california_ach.htm>http://www.mpwhi.com/letter_to_a_n_kim_california_ach.htm 
The adulteration  means it violates interstate commerce laws.

Consumer power is winning the war against this toxin. Holland 
Sweetener, the largest European aspartame producer closed in 2006. 
Another European maker also quit. In Japan Tosh stopped making it as 
well.  Merisant, in the USA went bankrupt for $230,000,000 in 
January, 2009.  47 members of Parliament signed for a ban in the 
UK.  There is continuing effort to get banned in the 
Philippines.  Romania banned it in the early 90’s because it’s 
carcinogenic. And now the European Food Safety Authority is doing a review.

Today no drug is safe if the consumer is using aspartame because of 
the interaction due to damage to the mitochondria.  It’s used in 
hospitals because of the dietitians making patients even sicker.

The Nutratanic hit the iceberg and Coke & Pepsi are in the lifeboats 
with new sweeteners in the works. Japan’s Ajinomoto and the USA 
NutraSweet Co are still slapping around in the frigid waters of 
consumer 
condemnation. 
<http://www.wnho.net/recipe_for_death.htm>http://www.wnho.net/recipe_for_death.htm

  If I can provide further data I’ll gladly do so. There is no way to 
show safety on aspartame with honest, unbiased studies.  Eliminate 
industry studies to defend its product and you’ll see how deadly is 
this toxin.  Dr. Bill Deagle said its more deadly than depleted 
uranium because its ubiquitous  in our food.

Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy Review Paper http://lymebook.com/fight/munchausen-syndrome-by-proxy-review-paper/ http://lymebook.com/fight/munchausen-syndrome-by-proxy-review-paper/#respond Mon, 26 Jul 2010 13:06:08 +0000 http://lymebook.com/fight/?p=1396 Linda’s Comment: There is a real thing called Munchausen Syndrome, but it is a sad state when doctors document Munchausen Syndrome, because parents are stepping outside the box to treat their children, EXPECIALLY those of the Autism Sprectrum!! Main stream medical practitioners for the most part will not admit that autism needs to be treating the WHOLE BODY. What is really scary is if you take your child to the ER for a legitimate injury, will that ER doctor see that it is a real injury, OR will they accuse you of abusing your child. My own daughter was a star athlete and one of her sports was racing bicycles, competing nationally. Needless to say, we were in the ER frequently. When I found an ER doctor that was competent, I stuck with that ER. Only once did I have an ER doctor question her injuries. By the time I was through throwing my fit, in his face, he was just anxious to get me out of there. Unfortunately most parents are a wreck when attending their children’s injuries, and are fearful of taking charge of what the doctor is saying and doing.

What is even more SAD and IMHO criminal is we have, right here in Arizona, a mother and father on disability themselves, who are taking care of their (5) children with Autism and a host of other medical conditions. They went to Children’s Hospital with sick children with asthma and the idiot doctor said, “this looks like a case of Munchausen Syndrome”…..Child protective services (which I have little respect for here in Arizona) took all the children and put them in Foster Homes. These child are NOT getting their special diets, supplements or the care for Autism, that they had been receiving….Guess what??? They are sicker, and one was, IMHO, abused, by being put outside in this 115 degree heat, because the foster mom had a guest over!!!

I’m also quiet frankly, sick and tired of the doctors NOT putting these children first. Those with children of the spectrum, MUST step outside of the body from the AMA standard of care, if they are to reach a normal life…The parents only have until the child is 18 to prepare them for an adult with Autism. You wouldn’t believe how many doctors don’t think that diet is important!! I tell these parents to RUN FOREST RUN, as fast as they can from this doctor.

Munchausen Since mainstream medical practitioners, to a large degree, haven’t acknowledged the fact that autism is a whole body condition that can be treated biomedically, have you ever been concerned that by providing your child with biomedical care you would be accused of having Munchausen Syndrome By Proxy (MSBP) and that your custody of your child could be threatened? Do you shudder when you need to take your child to the emergency room for a sprained ankle, wondering what is “safe” to say or not say about your child’s health history, medical care, and providers?

In recent years, many mothers in the autism community have been accused of MSBP, in which the mother is thought to be imagining or fabricating the medical problems in her son/daughter and is often accused of subjecting the child to excessive medical care. A case is going on right now where a mom took her child to the ER for a routine injury, and now custody has been taken away on the basis of MSBP. As long as the mainstream medical community does not acknowledge that the diagnostic label of autism is underpinned by legitimate physiological dysfunctions, parents will be in danger at the hands of social service workers and judges who do not know better simply by trying to provide truly responsible and appropriate medical care for their beloved children.

Former law professor Dr. Bill Long wrote a review paper for lawyers and judges on MSBP. Dr. Long’s executive summary as well as the 41-page paper can be accessed via www.autism.com/fam_munchausendebunked.asp.

The Legacy of Dr. Rimland

Bernard_Rimland Many people in the autism community regard the late Dr. Bernard Rimland as the pioneering hero who shifted the paradigm of autism from one of destructively blaming the mothers to constructively treating the affected individual’s legitimate physiological dysfunctions. So many of Dr. Rimland’s editorials are relevant today. See legacy.autism.com/ari/editorials/rimland_editorials.htm for Dr. Rimland’s words of wisdom on such topics as the benefits of vitamin B-6, magnesium, dimethylglycine (DMG), and vitamin C; and puberty, aggression and seizures.

SPOTLIGHT ON STAFF

Nancy_Cale Nancy Cale is a mother of three children and grandmother of four, including Wynn (now a teenager), who is on the autism spectrum. In 1999, along with two other moms, she started an awareness, advocacy, and educational organization called Unlocking Autism (www.UnlockingAutism.org). Nancy was instrumental in starting their parent hotline, and when Dr. Rimland passed away in 2006, the Autism Research Institute (ARI) asked her to take the phone calls from parents that he had handled for so many years. Ever since, Nancy has been taking calls for the ARI’s Call Center (1-866-366-3361). In addition to this, she also serves as outreach coordinator for the ARI/DAN! conferences – she researches the cities and outreaches to doctors, hospital departments, pharmacies, labs, and other companies that might come in contact with children on the spectrum to give them information about the conference and ARI. And as if that’s not enough, Nancy also monitors reports of vaccine reactions for the National Vaccine Information Center (www.nvic.org). She does all of this from her home office in the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia. When asked about her connection to the autism community, Nancy said, “We will never give up; we will always be looking for ways to help those with autism and the parents manage the issues and struggles, and we look forward to the day that we stop the injury of our children and autism is a thing of the past.”

Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) in a 6 week old infant http://lymebook.com/fight/tick-borne-encephalitis-tbe-in-a-6-week-old-infant/ http://lymebook.com/fight/tick-borne-encephalitis-tbe-in-a-6-week-old-infant/#respond Wed, 07 Jul 2010 06:09:47 +0000 http://lymebook.com/fight/?p=1307 Full article: https://www.thieme-connect.com/ejournals/abstract/neuropediatrics/doi/10.1055/s-2004-819478

Excerpt:

Case report: A 6-week-old girl developed fever, irritability, meningeal signs with bulging fontanelle and a partial, secondary-generalized seizure. CSF yielded pleocytosis (172 lymphocytes, 81 mono-cytes/ul) and elevated protein (0,83g/l), cranial MRI showed encephalitic signs in both frontal and parietal lobes. Because of a tick bite in an endemic area 10 days before admission, ELISA-IgG and IgM to TBE-virus were sought and found in serum, whereas Borrelia burgdorferi serology, Herpes-simplex virus PCR and bacterial CSF-culture were negative. Phenobarbitone was administered because of repetitive seizures, while the EEG showed series of sharp waves in the right parieto-temporal region. She consecutively became seizure free. At first follow-up after 6 weeks she demonstrated pathologic neurological signs with increased muscular tone, hyperreflexia, fidgety movements, and EEG showed slow waves in the right parieto-temporal region.

Aspartame comments – Dr. Betty Martini, D.Hum http://lymebook.com/fight/aspartame-comments-dr-betty-martini-dhum/ http://lymebook.com/fight/aspartame-comments-dr-betty-martini-dhum/#respond Mon, 24 May 2010 15:00:52 +0000 http://lymebook.com/fight/?p=1115 Dear Xxxxxxx,

Were you on aspartame before you started using Splenda?  Before
Splenda we thought never could anyone ever create another poison like
aspartame that is so toxic it destroys the brain, the central nervous
system, the optic nerve and the immune system, and ravages every
organ in the body.  From taking the case histories for 19 years I
can’t imagine anything more poisonous.  Even with testing on
aspartame the FDA wanted them indicted for fraud because there was no
way to show safety and its a carcinogen.  But when Splenda came along
consumers were aghast they had made something else that poisons the
system.  To make matters worse, Dr. James Bowen says that
if  consumers go from aspartame to Splenda they will maintain the
reactions from aspartame and pick up those from Splenda.

Using Splenda is like drinking bleach and today reactions and severe
ones are showing up on Splenda.    You might want to read
this:  http://www.holisticmed.com/splenda/splenda-adverse.txt and
http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2004/03/31/splenda-reaction.aspx
In today’s society with companies poisoning our food supply you have
to become a label reader.  The FDA doesn’t care about the food supply
being safe.  So you must be responsible for what you put in your mouth.

One thing we know is that Splenda interacts.  The company admitted to
Marianne Lamar that  Splenda does cause headaches and seizures.  That
means you are using a deadly drug, its not inert.  This came directly
from the company itself although there are many reactions to Splenda
from rashes to cardiac problems.  As to joint pain, yes it has been
reported with Splenda.  Read this report:
http://splendasickness.blogspot.com/2006/03/joint-pain-or-swelling.html

Also, Citizens for Health and James Turner, DC attorney filed a
petition to ban Splenda and they haven’t received an answer although
there is a time limit on the FDA answering citizens petitions which
is 180 days.  They haven’t answered my petition for ban of aspartame
in almost 7 years.  So you know the FDA is serving above the law and
giving their loyalty to Big Pharma and the chemical industry.  This
is something Congress needs to deal with.  In fact, I’ve petitioned
the FDA to ban aspartame based on an imminent health hazard and they
only have a week or ten days to answer that.  That was over two years
ago.   So you have an FDA way out of control who is ignoring
consumers  and scientists.  Dr. Stoller also petitioned the FDA to
ban aspartame and its not been answered.  In fact, twelve
toxicologists have written the FDA to ban aspartame, and I doubt that
they have heard either.

The email for Citizens for Health is info@citizens.org and I’m
sending a copy of this to James Turner.  On the Aspartame Resource
Guide I sent you the physicians have detoxification help.  Then you
could have prolotherapy which cures chronic pain. www.caringmedical.com

Here are some symptoms reported on Splenda:

Sucralose aka Splenda Can Cause Pain & Tension

Sucralose Can Cause These Symptoms

Abdominal pain, achiness, back pain, chest tightness, dizziness, eye
pain, fibromyalgia, headache, joint pain, leg cramps, loss of
equilibrium, migraine, numbness & tingling of hands & feet, shooting
pains in extremities, swallowing pain, tingling, unsteady gait, weakness, more.

You can subscribe to the Aspartame Information List on
www.mpwhi.com   (scroll down to banners) as we also take Splenda
reactions and its discussed.

Just Like Sugar (www.justlikesugarinc.com) is safe and can be gotten
in most Whole Foods.

I would definitely fill out the MedWatch form on the FDA to have your
complaints on record. Do send me a copy. Remember that Sucralose has
already been found in drinking
water.

Disorders That Mimic Multiple Sclerosis http://lymebook.com/fight/disorders-that-mimic-multiple-sclerosis/ http://lymebook.com/fight/disorders-that-mimic-multiple-sclerosis/#respond Mon, 17 May 2010 05:29:20 +0000 http://lymebook.com/fight/?p=1080 Excerpt:

If you have multiple sclerosis (MS)––or you know someone who does––you probably remember how long it took to make the diagnosis.  You also may remember a lot of blood tests, a lumbar puncture, at least one magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, as well as many visits and examinations by various doctors.  You may wonder why it still takes so long to make the diagnosis in this modern age of MRIs and other sophisticated tests.  We are going to try to explain why it can be so difficult for even the most expert MS neurologist to determine that someone has MS.  You have to live with the diagnosis and face the disease and the treatments.  You should understand and have confidence in the diagnosis.  Also, if your case of MS does not fit the typical pattern, you need to be aware of the other disorders that can mimic MS.  This is important because the treatments may be very different and, just as in most cases of MS, treatment begun early in the course of the disease is the best way to prevent or slow further neurologic damage.

MRI and new laboratory tests have definitely helped speed the diagnosis, but it still takes longer than anyone would wish, even in easy cases.  This is partly because of the variable nature of the disease in its many signs and symptoms. But it is also because a rather long list of other medical disorders can cause neurologic symptoms and signs that resemble MS. Furthermore, the “white spots” on brain MRI can be caused by a number of other conditions that also need to be ruled out.

The diagnosis of clinically definite MS requires that a person experience at least two neurologic symptoms of the type seen in MS, in two different areas of the central nervous system (CNS), at two different times (‘disseminated in space and time’).  Most typically, the symptoms are optic neuritis plus either an abnormal sensation or a problem with movement.  It can also be numbness in one part of the body and weakness or lack of coordination in another.  But in every case, there can be no other explanation for the symptoms, the changes seen on the MRI, and the abnormalities in the spinal fluid.  Many “mimics” need to be ruled out in order to make the diagnosis of MS.

Aspartame dangers http://lymebook.com/fight/aspartame-dangers/ http://lymebook.com/fight/aspartame-dangers/#respond Sat, 13 Mar 2010 19:23:04 +0000 http://lymebook.com/fight/?p=914 Linda’s comment:  Were you aware that formaldehyde converted from the free methyl alcohol embalms living tissue and damages DNA??  Most people don’t realize how dangerous that Aspartame can be.  There has been a rise in brain cancers, which we know according to Dr Russell Blaylock, MD, a renowned neuro surgeon.  Yet the food industry continue to poison people.  However, all the blame can’t be put on the food industry. WE the people need to take the responsibility for buying this deadly neuro poison.  If people would stop purchasing the products that contain Aspartame then the industry would change, after all they are in it to make money and don’t give a damn about our health.

 
I’m as aspartame survivor and trust me people it was UGLY…Listen up and start doing research.  Yes we can thank Rumsfeld  for making sure this deadly toxin came to market.  Right after he slammed it through the FDA, he went to work for Searle….<shaking head>….AND WE T HE PEOPLE let it happen.  STOP PURCHASING PRODUCTS WITH THIS DEADLY POISON IN IT…This will get the industry attention.  Get into their pocketbook and they will make changes.
 
The good news is the FIGHT protocol will help you to detox this deadly poison and restore your body back to healthy.  I have had tremendous success with the FIGHT protocol and continue to have great results.  Don’t delay, start today and you too can enjoy good health again.
 
Regards,
Linda
Excerpt:
What comes to mind is the scripture in Jeremiah that the wicked will
sleep a perpetual sleep and never awaken.  Aspartame Disease is now a
heinous global plague causing sickness and death throughout the
world.  The history and toxicity of aspartame has reached critical
mass as consumers avoid it like the plague it is.  For this reason,
and to erase history, Ajinomoto has changed the name to AminoSweet.
This itself is deceiving since it’s the deadly free methyl alcohol
that sweetens, not the amino acids. Be warned!
