Hola Maconde�os,
hace pocos dias recibi este mensaje un poco alarmante, pero antes de
tragar entero decidi compartirlo con uds para saber si alguien tenia
mayor informacion acerca del tema.
Yo no consumo los productos mencionados, pero si tengo amigos que lo
hacen.

CONFERENCE on

keynote

multiple

was

> When the temperature of Aspartame exceeds 86 degrees F, the wood
alcohol in AS
>PA RTAME 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
sage!
>
> We have a very serious problem. Even a stranger came up to Dr. Espisto
(one
> of my speakers) and myself and said, '1Could you tell me why so many
people
>seem to be coming down with MS?11 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 onverts 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 hanges 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
will be
>writing a position paper with some case histories and will post it on
the
>Internet. According to the Conference of the American College of
Physicians,
>'We are talking about a plague of neurological diseases caused by this
deadly
>poison".
>
> Dr. Roberts realized what was happening when aspartame was first
marketed. He
>said "his diabetic patients presented memory loss, confusion, and
severe vision
>loss". At the Conference of the American College of Physicians, doctors
>admitted that they did not know. They had wondered why seizures were
rampant
>(the phenylalanine in aspartame breaks down the seizure
> threshold and depletes serotonin, which causes manic depression, panic
>attacks, rage and violence).
>
>Just before the Conference, I received a FAX from Norway, asking for a
possible
>antidote for this poison because they are experiencing so many problems
in
>their country. This poison is now available in 90 PLUS countries
worldwide.
>Fortunately, we had speakers and ambassadors at
>the Conference from different nations who have pledged their help. We
ask that
>you help too.

>Print this article out and warn everyone you know. Take anything that
contains

your case

> I assure you that MONSANTO, the creator of aspartame, knows how deadly
it is.
>They fund the American Diabetes Association, American Dietetic
Association,
>Congress, and the Conference of the American College of Physicians. The
New
>York Times, on November 15, 1996, ran an article on how the American
Dietetic
>Association takes money from the food industry to endorse their
products.

>How bad is this? We told a mother who had a child on NutraSweet to get
off the
>product. The child was having grand mal seizures every day. The mother
called
>her physician, who called the ADA, who told the doctor not to take the
child
>off the NutraSweet. We are still trying to convince the mother that the
>aspartame is causing the seizures. Every time we get someone off of
aspartame,
>the seizures stop. If the baby dies, you know whose fault it is, and
what we
>are up against. There are 92 documented symptoms of aspartame, from
coma to
>death. The majority of them are all neurological, because the aspartame
>destroys the nervous system.
>
> Aspartame Disease is partially the cause to what is behind some of the
mystery
>of the Dessert Storm health problems. The burning tongue and other
problems
>discussed in over 60 cases can be directly related to the consumption
of an
>aspartame product. Several thousand pallets of diet
>drinks were shipped to the Dessert Storm troops. (Remember heat can
liberate
>the methanol rom the aspartame at 86 degrees F). Diet drinks sat in the
120
>degree F. Arabian sun for weeks at a time on pallets. The service men
and women
>drank them all day long. All of their symptoms
> are identical to aspartame poisoning. Dr. Roberts says "consuming
aspartame at
>the time of conception can cause birth defects". The phenylalanine
concentrates
>in the placenta, causing mental retardation, according to Dr. Louis
Elsas,
>Pediatrician Professor - Genetics, at Emory University in his testimony
before
>Congress.
>
> In the original lab tests, animals developed brain tumors
(phenylalanine
>breaks down into DXP, a brain tumor agent). When Dr. Espisto was
lecturing on
>aspartame me, one physician in the audience, a neurosurgeon, said,
"when they
>remove brain tumors, they have found high levels of aspartame in them".

> Stevia, a sweet food, NOT AN ADDITIVE, which helps in the metabolism
of sugar,
>which would be ideal for diabetics, has now been approved as a dietary
>supplement by the F.D.A. For years, the F.D.A. has outlawed this sweet
food
>because of their loyalty to MONSANTO.

>If it says "SUGAR FREE" on the label-- DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT
IT!!!!!l!

>Senator Howard Hetzenbaum wrote a bill that would have wamed all
infants,
>pregnant mothers and children of the dangers of aspartame. The bill
would have
>also instituted independent studies on the problems existing in the
population
>(seizures, changes in brain chemistry, changes in neurological and
behavioral
>symptoms). It was killed by the powerful drug and chemical lobbies,
letting

the

help of

>There are a lot of people out there who must be warned, please let them
