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

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,
Betty

The Lethal Science of 
Splenda: 
<http://www.wnho.net/splenda_chlorocarbon.htm>http://www.wnho.net/splenda_chlorocarbon.htm 

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:

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.

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

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.

Wild Meat Raises Lead Exposure http://lymebook.com/fight/wild-meat-raises-lead-exposure/ http://lymebook.com/fight/wild-meat-raises-lead-exposure/#respond Mon, 16 Nov 2009 21:21:25 +0000 http://lymebook.com/fight/?p=498 Linda’s comments:  No only do we have to worry about eating wild meat containing Lyme disease, but now we have to be concerned about the “lead” exposure from eating this meat.  There is also proof that deer from our high mountain ranges are getting lead exposure from the “coal” stacks in China.

Heavy metals is all around us and it is a must that we begin a journey in a lifelong daily detox program to reduce these heavy metals from our bodies.  For those with chronic illness, like Lyme disease, it becomes deadly.  If you have amalgams, it is important to have them safely removed by a dentist that knows how to remove them properly.  Look for a Holistic dentists and if there are none in your community, then ask around for dentists that have experience in removing amalgams safely.

You can help protect yourself by finding a lifelong daily detox like the FIGHT program.  I have been on this protocol for over a year and am very pleased.  Feel free to ask questions about the products I have found that replenish my body to a healthy state.  Don’t get caught up in a once a year cleanse.  A lifelong cleanse is vital for good health.

Wild Meat Raises Lead Exposure
Tests by the CDC show that eating venison and other game can raise the amounts of lead in human bodies by 50 percent
By Scott Streater and Environmental Health News

To Dr. William Cornatzer, it was an unforgettable image, one that troubled him deeply.

An avid hunter, Cornatzer was listening to a presentation on the lead poisoning of California condors when an x-ray of a mule deer flashed on an overhead screen. The deer had been shot in the chest with a high-powered rifle. Cornatzer was shocked that the deer’s entire carcass was riddled with dozens of tiny lead-shot fragments.

“My first thought had nothing to do with California condors; it had to do with what I had been doing as a hunter myself, and what I had been feeding our kids,” said Cornatzer, a clinical professor of medicine at the University of North Dakota School of Medicine & Health Sciences.

“I knew good and well after seeing that image that I had been eating a lot of lead fragments over the years,” he said.

That realization led Cornatzer and a radiologist last year to X-ray 100 packages of venison that had been donated by a sportsmen group to a food bank. About 60 percent of the packages contained lead-shot fragments, even though it’s common practice among hunters to remove meat around the wound.

The discovery prompted North Dakota to warn pregnant women and children 6 and under not to eat venison killed with ammunition containing lead.

It also sparked a flurry of new research that raises questions about the safety of eating wild game, as well as a renewed debate about eliminating lead ammunition.
ecosystems
Earlier this year, the National Park Service announced a controversial plan to ban lead ammunition and fishing tackle in the parks, which Acting Director Dan Wenk said “will benefit humans, wildlife, and  inside and outside park boundaries.”

Cheap, durable and readily available, lead has been used in weapons and other products since the Romans first mined it more than 2,500 years ago. Bullets have contained lead, which upon impact mushrooms to create a larger wound, since the 14th century.

But lead is a dangerous neurotoxin, particularly for children and fetuses. Low levels can harm children’s developing brains, causing learning disabilities and reduced IQs. High levels can trigger severe neurological problems.

Sporting groups are opposed to any restrictions on lead-based ammunition, arguing that there’s no clear evidence that it is dangerous when used to hunt deer and other animals.
“The use of traditional ammunition does not pose a health risk to human beings,” said Ted Novin, director of public affairs for the National Shooting Sports Foundation, a trade association for the firearms, ammunition and hunting industries.

Novin added that “there has never been a documented case of lead poisoning among humans who have eaten game harvested with traditional ammunition.”

New research, however, has shown that eating venison and other game can substantially raise the amounts of lead in human bodies. The findings have prompted some experts to recommend bans on lead ammunition.

“We want to avoid having people exposed to lead to the extent that it’s feasible and practical, and it’s clear that one of the key ways to minimize exposure is to use alternatives to lead ammunition,” said Dr. Michael Kosnett, a medical toxicologist at the University of Colorado at Denver School of Medicine. “You’re putting food on the table to nourish your family. Why not nourish them with healthy food if that’s a possible alternative?”

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention tested 736 people, mostly adults, in six North Dakota cities and found that those who ate wild game had 50 percent more lead in their blood than those who did not eat it. The lead exposure was highest among people who consumed not only venison, but also birds and other game, according to the study published last month in the journal Environmental Research.

Those who ate wild game meat had average lead levels of 1.27 micrograms per deciliter, compared with 0.84 for those who ate no game. Most said they either hunted the animals themselves or obtained the meat from friends or family members.

“What was most troubling is that as wild game consumption increases, the blood-lead levels increase,” said study co-author Mary Jean Brown, chief of the CDC’s lead poisoning prevention branch. “The strong recommendation we would make is that pregnant women should not consume this meat.”

The CDC is planning a second round of testing this year involving hunters in Wisconsin, Brown said.

The National Shooting Sports Foundation argues that everyone in the North Dakota study had blood-lead levels below the CDC’s health guideline of 10 micrograms per deciliter.

However, recent research has reported that children’s mental abilities are reduced by lead at levels far below the CDC guideline. Brown and others say there is no threshold below which lead does not cause harm, particularly with children.

As a result, the CDC recommends that “all nonessential uses of lead should be eliminated,” according to a 2005 statement. Less than 2 percent of children in the United States have lead levels that exceed the amount that the CDC considers safe. Most exposure comes from old, deteriorating lead-based paint, which was banned in 1978.

Another study, published in April, showed that eating venison containing lead-shot fragments can quickly raise blood-lead levels.

Researchers at Washington State University and Boise State University fed lead-tainted venison to four pigs and lead-free venison to a separate control group of pigs. The pigs that ate the venison containing lead fragments reached a lead level of 3.8 micrograms per deciliter after only two days—more than three times higher than the highest level in the control group of pigs, according to the study, which was sponsored by The Peregrine Fund, a group that advocates for the removal of lead shot to protect condors.

“At risk in the U.S. are some ten million hunters, their families, and low-income beneficiaries of venison donation,” the report says. One program, Sportsmen Against Hunger, donates the meat to low-income people.

The National Park Service posted the results of The Peregrine Fund study on its Web site, noting “that while the results are preliminary and much further study needs to be done to better assess risks to humans, it appears that if lead bullets are used, odds are high that you will ingest lead particles in ground meat.”

Mostly to protect wildlife, the park service plans to end the use of lead bullets and fishing gear in all parks. A public comment period will be held next year, said Jody Lyle, an agency spokeswoman.

“Our goal is to eliminate the use of lead ammunition and lead fishing tackle in parks by the end of 2010,” Wenk said when announcing the proposal in March. “We want to take a leadership role in removing lead from the environment.”

Although hunting is prohibited in most national parks, it is allowed on some park properties. Rangers also would have to stop using lead ammunition when culling herds or killing wounded or sick animals.

Hunting groups say any restriction on traditional ammunition will price many people out of hunting, because the alternatives–steel, copper or tungsten shells–can cost as much as six times more.

This is not the first time the federal government has considered restrictions on lead ammunition. The United States in 1991 phased out lead-shot for hunting waterfowl, mostly because bald eagles that prey on them were being poisoned.

Twenty-nine other countries have adopted voluntary or legislative restrictions. Some of the most aggressive regulations have been adopted in Europe, where lead-shot poisoning has killed white-tailed eagles and endangered Spanish Imperial eagles.

While there is no European Union standard for lead ammunition, Denmark was the first to ban lead shot for waterfowl in wetlands in 1985, followed throughout the 1990s by Norway, the Netherlands, Finland, England, Spain and Sweden. France did so in 2006. Denmark, followed by Norway and the Netherlands, extended the lead-shot ban to all hunted species in 2000.

California and Arizona also have taken action, implementing mandatory and voluntary bans, respectively, on lead bullets and shot in an effort to protect condors.

Pressure to ban lead-based ammunition in the U.S. intensified last year with the release of a report on threats to wildlife commissioned by The Wilderness Society and the American Fisheries Society.

The report said that lead fishing sinkers have poisoned brown pelicans, mute swans and Canada geese. Even more dangerous is lead shot in gut piles left behind by hunters and consumed by scavengers, including endangered condors, said Barnett Rattner, a wildlife toxicologist with the U.S. Geological Survey and a co-author of the review.

John H. Schulz, a resource scientist at the Missouri Department of Conservation, has calculated that as many as 15 million mourning doves are killed in North America each year from lead poisoning, mostly from eating spent lead shot that looks like the weed seed they depend on for food. That’s almost as many as the estimated 20 million mourning doves legally shot and killed each year by hunters.

But it’s the science pointing to possible human health impacts that has Schulz convinced that there’s more than enough scientific evidence to begin a phase-out of lead ammunition.

“Let’s not spend any more time studying whether the problem is significant. It is real. It is serious. It is significant,” Shulz said. “Now, how are we going to address it in a thoughtful and sensitive manner so no affected stakeholders are disenfranchised?”
