>  I have spent several days lecturing at the WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL
> CONFERENCE on "ASPARTAME marketed as 'NutraSweet', 'Equal', and
> 'Spoonful"'. In the keynote address by the EPA, they announced that
> there was an epidemic of multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus, and they
>
> did not understand what toxin was causing this to be rampant across the
> United States. I explained that I was there to lecture on exactly that
> subject.
>
> When the temperature of Aspartame exceeds 86 degrees F, the wood
> alcohol in ASPARTAME coverts to formaldehyde and then to formic acid,
> which in turn causes metabolic acidosis. (Formic acid is the poison
> found in the sting of fire ants). The methanol toxicity mimics multiple
> sclerosis; thus people were being diagnosed with having multiple
> sclerosis in error. The multiple sclerosis is not a death sentence,
> where methanol toxicity is. In the case of systemic lupus, we are
> finding it has become almost as rampant as multiple sclerosis,
> especially Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi drinkers. Also, with methanol
> toxicity, the victims usually drink three to four 12 oz. Cans of them
> per day, some even more. In the cases of systemic lupus, which is
> triggered by ASPARTAME, the victim usually does not know that the
> aspartame is the culprit The victim continues its use aggravating the
> lupus to such a degree, that sometimes it becomes life threatening. When
>
> we get people off the aspartame, those with systemic lupus usually
> become asymptomatic. Unfortunately, we can not reverse this disease.
> On the other hand, in the case of those diagnosed with Multiple
> Sclerosis, (when in reality, the disease is methanol toxicity), most of
> the symptoms disappear. We have seen cases where their vision has
> returned and even their hearing has returned. This also applies to cases
>
> of tinnitus.  During a lecture I said "If you are using ASPARTAME
> (NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc.) and you suffer from fibromyalgia
> symptoms, spasms, shooting pains, numbness in your legs, cramps,
> vertigo, dizziness, headaches, tinnitus, joint pain, depression, anxiety
>
> attacks, slurred speech, blurred vision, or memory loss-you probably
> have ASPARTAME DISEASE!"
>
> People were jumping up during the lecture saying, "I've got this, is it
> reversible?" It is rampant. Some of the speakers at my lecture even were
>
> suffering from these symptoms. In one lecture attended by the Ambassador
>
> of Uganda, he told us that their sugar industry is adding aspartame! He
> continued by saying that one of the industry leader's son could no
> longer walk - due in part by product usage!
>
> We have a very serious problem. Even a stranger came up to Dr. Espisto
> (one of my speakers) and myself and said, 'Could you tell me why so many
>
> people seem to be coming down with MS?' During a visit to a hospice, a
> nurse said that six of her friends, who were heavy Diet Coke addicts,
> had all been diagnosed with MS. This is beyond coincidence. Here is the
> problem. There were Congressional Hearings when aspartame was included
> in 100 different products. Since this initial hearing, there have been
> two subsequent hearings, but to no avail. Nothing as been done.
> The drug and chemical lobbies have very deep pockets. Now there are over
>
> 5,000 products containing this chemical, and the PATENT HAS EXPIRED! At
> the time of this first hearing, people were going blind. The methanol in
>
> the aspartame converts to formaldehyde in the retina of the eye.
>
> Formaldehyde is grouped in the same class of dmgs as cyanide and
> arsenic-DEADLY POISONS!!! Unfortunately, it just takes longer to quietly
>
> kill, but it is killing people and causing all kinds of neurological
> problems.
> Aspartame changes the brain's chemistry. It is the reason for severe
> seizures. This drug changes the dopamine level in the brain. Imagine
> what this drug does to patients suffering from Parkinson's Disease. This
>
> drug also causes Birth Defects.
> There is absolutely no reason to take this product. It is NOT A DIET
> PRODUCT!!! The Congressional record said, "It makes you crave
> carbohydrates and will make you FAT". Dr. Roberts stated that when he
> got patients off aspartame, their average weight loss was 19 pounds per
> person. The formaldehyde stores in the fat cells, particularly in the
> hips and thighs.
> Aspartame is especially deadly for diabetics. All physicians know what
> wood alcohol will do to a diabetic. We find that physicians believe that
>
> they have patients with retinopathy, when in fact, it is caused by the
> aspartame. The aspartame keeps the blood sugar level out of control,
> causing many patients to go into a coma. Unfortunately, many have died.
> People were telling us at the Conference of the American College of
> Physicians, that they had relatives that switched from saccharin to an
> aspartame product and how that relative had eventually gone into a coma.
>
> Their physicians could not get the blood sugar levels under control.
> Thus, the patients suffered acute memory loss and eventually coma and
> death.
> Memory loss is due to the fact that aspartic acid and phenylalanine are
> neurotoxic without the other amino acids found in protein. Thus it goes
> past the blood brain barrier and deteriorates the neurons of the brain.
> Dr. Russell Blaylock, neurosurgeon, said, "The ingredients stimulates
> the neurons of the brain to death, causing brain damage of varying
> degrees. Dr. Blaylock has written a book entitled "EXCITOTOXINS: THE
> TASTE THAT KILLS"
> (Health Press 1-800-643-2665). Dr. H.J. Roberts, diabetic specialist and
>
> world expert on aspartame poisoning, has also written a book entitled
> "DEFENSE AGAINST ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE" (1-800-814-9800). Dr. Roberts
> tells how aspartame poisoning is escalating Alzheimer's Disease, and
> indeed it is. As the hospice nurse told me, women are being admitted at
> 30 years of age with Alzheimer's Disease. Dr. Blaylock and Dr. Roberts

> Dr. Roberts realized what was happening when aspartame was first

> manic depression, panic attacks, rage and violence). Just before the
> Conference, I received  a FAX from Norway, asking for a possible
