Splenda causing seizures?

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

Splenda – more problems with this dangerous substance

Linda’s comment:  I don’t know how to make folks understand how deadly artificial sweeteners are…Splenda is one of them….it is a poisonous chlorocarbon….it will drop your thymus among a few things. WALK UP PEOPLE….take charge of you own health care…the government isn’t.

Link: http://www.holisticmed.com/aspartame 

Excerpt:

“Splenda/sucralose is simply chlorinated sugar; a chlorocarbon. Common chlorocarbons include carbon tetrachloride, trichlorethelene and methylene chloride, all deadly. Chlorine is nature’s Doberman attack dog, a highly excitable, ferocious atomic element employed as a biocide in bleach, disinfectants, insecticide, WWI poison gas and hydrochloric acid.

Splenda more dangerous than thought

Linda’s comments:  I will not give up with trying to make people understand the deadly hazards of Splenda…..Those who don’t want to listen are usually addicted to Aspartame, Splenda and the other deadly artificial sweeteners…..It saddens me to watch, EVEN Doctors, make the same mistakes of drinking these deadly poisons, plus the fact they are telling their patients and friends that it is OK to drink this neurotoxin….Very scary out there, watching those make these mistakes.  I just had a good example on Facebook, where this kid could not gets his head wrapped around how deadly Splenda is….<sigh>  Oh well as my granny use to say, “You can lead a horse to water, BUT you can’t make them drink”!!!  SAD!!

By James Bowen, M.D. 

Posted: 08 May 2005 

James Bowen, M.D., A physician, biochemist, and survivor of aspartame poisoning warns about yet another synthetic sweetener, Splenda. 

Hawaii, May 8, 2005 — The chemical sucralose, marketed as “Splenda”, has replaced aspartame as the #1 artificial sweetener in foods and beverages. Aspartame has been forced out by increasing public awareness that it is both a neurotoxin and an underlying cause of chronic illness worldwide. Dr. James Bowen, Researcher and biochemist, reports: 

Aspartame Addiction with comments by Linda & Dr. Betty Martini

Linda’s comments:  I don’t know what it is going to take to get these aspartame addicted folks off the diet products…because of the addicting qualities of artificial sweeteners like Aspartame, Equal, Splenda, NutraSweet, it continues to grab people like Heroine…..Let me tell you when I went through my poisoning with diet cokes and diet Dr Pepper, the withdrawals were DEADLY….I ended up loosing part of a lung because of that addiction…The liver damage is unbelievable with these addicted people….It is amazing the brain tumors Dr Blaylock has removed due to Aspartame….the organ damage is unreal….you can’t really blame these folks as they do not realize THEY ARE ADDICTED……The withdrawals I went through almost put me in the hospital…..hives, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, joint aches and heart palpations….HORRIBLE…
I PRAY THAT GOD WILL HELP WITH THESE ADDICTIONS….

Dear Jenna,

I think we get more cases of MS and Lupus than anything else, although there are so many symptoms and diseases triggered or precipitated by aspartame that the medical text by Dr. Roberts is  over 1000 pages, and it was cut down 40% just to publish.  Aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic, www.sunsentpress.com MS is on the cover.

Dr. James Bowen explains the aspartame lupus connection this way: The ability of methyl alcohol/formaldehyde to create antigenicity, especially as combined in APM molecules is so great as to cause severe autoimmune reactions to the tissues deformed by formaldehyde polymerization, adduct formation. The immune system turns against the victim,s tissues: Lupus.

As to MS, aspartame disease can mimic or eventually precipitate MS.  Many people like Cori Brackett have walked out of wheelchairs simply by getting off of it.  In a separate email I’m enclosing the Aspartame Resource Guide which will give you detoxification, books and even the history of how this chemical poison was marketed through the political chicanery of Don Rumsfeld, and was never proven safe scientifically.

I have put together both neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock’s report as well as Dr. H. J. Roberts, and other case histories in one email.  If you can get this report to their physicians and them, of course, the physicians will understand. http://www.mpwhi.com/new_report_at_neurology_conference.htm

Also, I would like to introduce you to Jim McDonald of the UK Aspartame Awareness Campaign – bigmac2@freenetname.co.uk In the UK you can get Cori’s film from Namaste Publishing, info@namastepublishing.co.uk

You can also subscribe to the Aspartame Information List on www.mpwhi.com Scroll down to banners.

Please let me know if you can get your family off this poison and how they do, or when they get well. Also, be sure to give them a copy of this Aspartame Resource Guide with detoxification and other helpful information.

All my best,
Betty

Dear Dr Betty Martini,

My name is Jenna R, my mother Shona K suffers from MS.  She was diagnosed possibly in her twenties with symptoms of this disease but did not appear apparent enough to be considered full blown MS.  She is now in her late fifties and about a couple of years ago she appeared to show a decline in her mobility.  She then endured a stressful separation from my dad which resulted in a rapid decline in her health.  She was signed off from work for a bout 1 year due to her re-occurring bouts but has since been able to return to work January this year.  Although, she is able to work she is still has problems with mobility and the occasional bout.  I read a few years ago about the possibility that Aspartame in the diet can cause this disease.

If I think back to when I was younger my mother consumed a lot of Coke a cola and various fizzy drinks.  I suffered from soft teeth and did not consume these products very often and stayed away from anything that was sweet.  My sister is a Lupus sufferer and I also read that there may be a connection with Aspartame and this disease with MS passed on genetically.

I have concerns for both my mother and my sister as they still consume sweet products which more than likely contain this substance.  I have always thought that perhaps my mothers condition worsens due to her diet but have not been able to get this through to her.

I read your note on rense.com about a patient called Cori Brackett.  Although, my mothers condition may be different to this person but wondered if there may be a connection to Aspartame with my mothers condition?

Dr’s do not seem to give any positive feedback here in Scotland UK and wondered if you could give any suggestions?

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.

ASPARTAME LAWSUIT

Only for brain tumors in New York and New Jersey.  You may wish to
subscribe to the Aspartame Information List on www.mpwhi.com  so you
will get copies of my emails and ask questions if you do file suit.

Also, if you need to know anything about the problems let me know and
I’ll answer them for you.  For instance in the case of diabetes,
aspartame not only can precipitate diabetes but it simulates and
aggravates diabetic retinopathy and neuropathy, destroys the optic
nerve, causes diabetics to go into convulsions, interacts with
insulin and the free methyl alcohol causes them to lose limbs.

Aspartame comments – Dr. Betty Martini, D.Hum

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.

TEN food ingredients to avoid to feel better and look better

 

TEN  food ingredients to avoid to feel better and look better

Reported by: Jennifer Harrington

Last Update: 7/10 12:41 pm

<http://www.PaulaOwens.com>Paula Owens the author
of <http://thepowerof4-paula.blogspot.com>“The
Power of 4” says avoiding these 10 things will
change your body dramatically. Owens has a
master’s degree in holistic nutrition and a bachelors degree in kinesiology.

1. HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP: HFCS is the number one source of calories for most Americans and causes obesity.

You’ll find high-fructose corn syrup (GMO) in processed food, fast food, sodas, syrup that goes into your Latte, etc.

HFCS is extremely toxic to your liver, increases inflammation, causes obesity, oxidative stress and creates an aggressive insulin response.

2. PARTIALLY HYDROGENATED OILS (TRANS FATS):
Partially hydrogenated oils are found in thousands of processed foods (breakfast cereals, cookies, chips).

Trans fats are proven to cause heart disease and contribute to obesity.

Restaurant food, especially from fast food chains, often serve food loaded with trans fats.

Consequences of a diet high in trans fats include:
* increased inflammation
* decreased immune function
* decreased testosterone
* Arthritis
* Cancer
* Decrease IQ – learning disabilities.
American IQ has dropped 20 points in the past 20 years.
* Diabetes
* Elevated blood pressure
* Free radical production
* Heart Disease
* Interferes with neurological & visual development of fetus
* Liver damage
* Obesity
* Osteoporosis
* Type II diabetes
3. MSG: Monosodium glutamate is a chemical that has been associated with reproductive disorders, migraine headaches, permanent damage to the endocrine system leading to obesity and other serious disorders.

MSG is used in many foods as a taste enhancer. It is linked to reduced fertility.

4. SODIUM NITRATE: This is a preservative, coloring, and flavoring commonly added to bacon, ham, hot dogs, luncheon meats, smoked fish and corned beef.

Studies have linked eating it to various types of cancer. Continued
