My name is Cathy Alexander, age 52, from Tennessee. Here is my story: MY BATTLE
WITH ASPARTAME POISON.
In 2005 I had an operation on my abdomen, and there were 100 days of recovery
time.
A
week after I got up one morning and my legs folded under me. I could
not walk and my mind was so cloudy I could not remember what day it
was. I was very frightened because I had never felt this way before, not once
in my entire life! I would hold on to whatever was near, holding unto the walls
to get down the hall to the bathroom, falling along the way.
I
was so scared: I had never felt this way before. I had no insurance. I
went to 3 different ER's at three different county hospitals. First,
they all thought I was on drugs or drunk and I wasn't. With all kinds
of testing they could not find anything.
I
had to come up with the money to go to a Neurologist who tested me and
did spinal taps. Nothing showed up. So the neurologist and another
doctor said it was acute cerebellitis and that I would be better in about 6
months. By that time it was the same or even worse.
I
had no balance or any motor skills. It was like my muscles were soft
and did not work. I do not take prescriptions for nervous or
antidepressants, but I was very shaky and very depressed. I did not
care to live.
I
would wake up and cry because I was still here another day. I was
clumsy, dizzy, and suffered from blurred and double vision. I could not
remember anything from the day before. My speech was slurred. I had to
have around the clock care, so my best friend took care of me. I almost
lost all my hearing and eyesight.
The
doctors gave me all kinds of medications but nothing worked. I used a
walker for a while and even then I would be walking across the yard and
just fall, like mini strokes, 5 to 10 times a day.
My
best friend heard the famous Aspartame/Neurologist, Dr. Russell
Blaylock on a short wave radio telling about Aspartame and symptoms,
and how to test to see if it is what you have. So i went back to talk
to my own physician, Dr. Lewis
I
told my doctor "When this first hit me, you asked me how many diet
drinks I had a day.I did not lie to him but said at least one or two a
day. He asked me to stop but I never did until the day came when I went
back to him I told him i did not tell him the whole truth, that I drink
5 or more daily, as well as many other sugarfree products, Crystal
Lite, and sugarfree gum, all having aspartame in it.
He
told me to get off all aspartame for 90 days. That is the same thing
Dr. Blaylock said to do. So I did. After about four weeks, my eyesight
and hearing got better. My pain had lessened as it was before all this
happened.
My
doctor knew all about Aspartame poison. He had done research on it a
few years ago when his wife was sick from it. The last 9 months I had
kidneystone problems. I never reported this to my kidney doctor because
so many doctors don't believe in aspartame poisoning, or even
appear to have the slightest understanding of what should have been
obvious among their patients, with so many identical symptoms, all
deriving from their use of "diet" products.
About
two months I told my kidney doctor about me having aspartame poisoning
awhile back. He said he wished he had known because then he would known
something different to try for my stones. I have had 21 kidney stone
operations in the last nine months.
The
doctor thought my body was making the acid that makes the stones. But
the poison shut down the tubes that filters the acid to and from my
kidneys. So he doubled my medications for stones; now they have almost
all of them.
WHAT ASPARTAME DID TO MY LIFE AND MY CONDITION
I
have always been a hard worker, quick thinking, and never forgotful. I
could go to stores and start talking to anyone about anything. I never
met a stranger. I was a sales person many years and was really
proficient. I had that kind of outgoing personality. 1 | 2
