Subject: For Global Release: Sudden Death Epidemic,
Athletes are dropping like Flies ---- The Aspartame Correlation -
Dr. Bowen discusses death of John Ritter. By Betty Martini, Mission
Possible intl, www.dorway.com
The
CDC reports that Sudden Cardiac Death, the nation's #1 killer ended the lives of
460,000 Americans in 1999. SCD is a catastrophe in which the heart stops
abruptly without warning. It kills its victims within minutes. It is
estimated that 95% of victims die before reaching the hospital. Often SCD
happens to outwardly healthy people with no known heart problems; high school,
college and professional athletes and thousands of children.
New York State has mandated automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) be
provided for all schools and athletic events on campus or off. Illinois
passed a similar law. In California they talk of making defibrillators as
common as fire extinguishers.
The Philadelphia Trial Lawyers Association
donated 73 AEDS so all of their school gyms and playing fields will be equipped
to fight this devastation.
The Philadelphia School District estimates 7,000-10,000 American children and
youths die annually from SCD. Said Chief of Cardiology Victoria Vetter,
M.D. at the Children's Hospital "I diagnose, treat and follow hundreds of
children from the Philadelphia region with cardiac issues." On 9/12 came
the tragic report of 13 year old Emil Gadjev's collapse and death while playing
soccer here in Atlanta.
Sudden Cardiac Death is not a "heart attack" or
myocardial infarction, caused by clogged arteries. Its an electrical
problem in which the cardiac conduction system that generates the impulses
regulating the heart suddenly output rapid or chaotic electrical impulses, or
both. The heart ceases its rhythmic contractions, the brain is starved of
oxygen and the victim loses
consciousness in seconds.
It was only yesterday in a conversation with Dr. James Bowen about
aspartame and sudden death in athletes he said findings were pointing a
finger at this toxin. "Both the shock from strenuous athletics in
combination with aspartame consumption, and stresses lead to activation of shock
mechanism including the elaboration of Arginine vasopressin in the hypothalamus
which results in cerebral edema and cardiac congestion and
pulmonary edema
in combination with severe potassium wastage which is a sure ticket to sudden
death, especially in the face of the many damages inflicted by aspartame.
Since aspartame is already well known for causing neuroendocrine abnormalities
such serotonin elevations and suppression in various areas of the brain, along
with depletion of dopamine, due to its
phenylalanine isolate poisoning and
hypothalamic damage from its extreme neuroexcitotoxin effect and formaldehyde
formic acid poisoning especially focused in the hypothalamus, I would expect
anyone with expertise in these areas could verify the direct effect of aspartame
poisoning in producing
the fatal aberrant shock mechanism in those exposed
to it. The mere occurrence of severe athletic stress does not do so by
itself."
Aspartame triggers an irregular heart rhythm, and interacts with
cardiac medication. It damages the cardiac conduction system and
causes sudden death. What Dr. Bowen is saying, of course, is that its not
just hitting their hearts but hypothalamus and neuroendocrine system. It
exacerbates the damages to the cardiac conduction system - it exacerbates the
arrhythmia because of the cardiac conduction system damage, taking down the
athletes from both directions and its synergistic.
Of interest is the
report of the Telegraph in the UK having to do with an investigation of why
children having mild seizures that normally don't cause death die before they
can get to a hospital. Dr. Bowen responded: "Sudden death during
seizures is almost always from cardiac standstill due to arrhythmias.
There are several ways that this is due to aspartame damage. Aspartame and
methyl alcohol poisoning are noted for damaging myocardium and the specialized
form of myocardium called the
cardiac conduction system. This
kind of damage leads to susceptibility to arrhythmias. The aspartame and
methyl alcohol poisoning cause immense damage to the mitochondria and to MtDNA
which perpetuates the mitochondria damage. The myocardium and cardiac
conduction system never get to
rest. They are constantly at work
pumping blood, therefore they are very highly concentrated in mitochondria to
accommodate the metabolic needs of this tremendous work load. Therefore,
mitochondrial damage is more highly reflected in the heart. Damaged
mitochondria produce increased amounts of
free radicals and other abnormal
metabolites that produce arrhythmias. The person using NutraSweet may have
a markedly decreased intake of mineral and vitamin co-enzyme factors which also
sensitizes the heart to arrhythmias. Seizures always put unusual demands
on the cardio-respiratory system and seizures due to NutraSweet occur more
frequently and in spite of
otherwise adequate anti-seizure medication.
Aspartame creates unusual medical toxicity from the antiseizure
medication. It should be no surprise then that people are dropping dead
from this aspect of aspartame toxicity."
In Nov 1984 the Center for
Disease Control reviewed 213 of 592 cases of aspartame complaints. Some of these included cardiac arrest. seizures,
disorientation, hyperactivity, extreme numbness, excitability, memory loss, loss
of depth perception, liver impairment, severe mood swings and even DEATH.
Frederick L. Trowbridge added an executive summary to the report
which conflicted with the information in the report and said that the
complaints were generally of a mild nature. Obviously experts would
disagree that such things as seizures, cardiac arrest and DEATH are "mild"
problems. Then the CDC put the summary on their web site which is where
you will find it, and left off the investigation so the public would not get the
real facts. But it is on www.dorway.com for anyone who wants to
read the 146 page investigation. When I asked the CDC why they allowed
this phony summary, their only excuse was "Dr. Trowbridge is now retired".
It would save a lot of lives if government agencies like the FDA and CDC would
give the public the facts.
When those responsible to solve the problem ARE the problem its a sad
commentary. They have become simply
branch offices of the
manufacturers of this neurotoxin.
The sudden death of John Ritter on Sept
12 stunned the nation. It was discussed on the news by Roy Flood, M.D.,
that he died from an undiagnosed dissection of the aorta. While we don't
even know if Ritter used aspartame, Dr. Flood mentioned this is usually
triggered by having hypertension for several years and aspartame causes this "big time."
H. J.
Roberts, M.D., F.A.C.P., F.C.C.P. is a world renowned Board
Certified
and Recertified Internist who declared Aspartame Disease to be a global plague
and published the medical text, Aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic, www.sunsentpress.com He is an
internationally known medical
consultant and independent researcher.
He is the Director of the Palm Beach Institute for Medical Research since l964
and a member of prestigious medical and scientific organizations. They
include the American College of Physicians, the Endocrine Society and the
American Academy of Neurology. The editors of a national medical
publication selected Dr. Roberts as "The Best Doctor in the U.S." He has
been knighted by the Order
of St. George for his professional and
humanitarian effort. His first text, Difficult Diagnosis, was used by
60,000 doctors, especially to prepare for their Board examinations.
Dr.
Roberts says in Aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic about
aspartame and hypertension: "Increased brain phenylalanine can
elevate norepinephrine levels becoming clinically manifest as
hypertension. A comparable phenomenon has been demonstrated in
spontaneously hypertensive
rats. Another plausible mechanism involves
increased phenylalanine metabolites, especially dopamine, in the presence of
excess insulin. Tourian (l985) demonstrated that insulin potentiates the
synthesis of phenylalanine hydroxylase in tissue cultures."
He also
says: "The documentation of essential hypertension in an insulin-resistant
state associated with hyper-insulinemia (Ferrannini l987), but independent of
obesity, is germane because many aspartame reactors have reactive
hypoglycemia. furthermore, phenylalanine increases insulin release.
In the face of continued hyper-insulinemia, the down regulation of
insulin
receptors (and ensuing decreased insulin action), the increased re-absorption of
sodium and sympathetic stimulation can exaggerate
hypertension."
Dr. Roberts says: "Other clinical
observations suggest a relationship between phenylalanine and tyramine.
Severe hypertension may occur when increased tyramine (present in certain
cheeses and alcoholic beverages) is consumed by persons taking monoamine oxidase
inhibitors and cough cold
preparation or appetite suppressants that continue
ephedrine, phenylephrine or phenylpropanolamine."
Two-thirds of the population is using aspartame and its hard to
avoid. So while we don't know at this point if John Ritter was
consuming it (it would be hard to NOT consume it in today's world), Dr.
Bowen said: "The death of John Ritter highlights another possible
ill resulting from the ingestion of aspartame. Aspartame is well recognized among its victims for causing connective
tissue diseases in their body. Since much of the aorta consists of
fibroelastic connective tissue it would only be logical aspartame would also
cause degeneration of this vital tissue."
He also said "Aspartame
really doesn't spare any structure or system in the body so its not logical to
try and mentally isolate it to a few structures or few systems of the
body. In fact, the FDA identified 92 documented symptoms triggered by aspartame including
death, the ultimate symptom."
[Note: I myself, this web site owner, watched a
doctor giving an interview on TV on the autopsy of John Ritter - - he
stated that exactly what Ritter's heart condition was found to be, is exactly
what Aspartame CAUSES ! He also said that John Ritter was well
known for drinking Diet Coke, which is loaded with Aspartame
! Aspartame also is a CAUSE of Parkinson's Disease that Michael
J. Fox is diagnosed with , and Fox is also addicted to Diet Coke !
Anything that says "diet" or "sugar free" on it, is loaded with Aspartame
! Aspartame (Nutri Sweet) damages the brain cells ! Turns the
brain cells to mush basically. Especially deadly for growing children !!
]
The Atlanta Journal Constitution on 9/11
wrote: "Sudden death in high school athletes is a topic that
has received a lot of attention recently". It mentioned some children have
serious heart conditions that have not been diagnosed. Dr. Bowen
remarked, "In many cases aspartame victims may have had pre-existent or
congenital undiagnosed cardiac problems. The fatal abnormalities induced
by Nutra Sweet would have quicker
and greater effect on these unfortunate
individuals."
The article in the AJC discusses accidents that may have
been caused by sudden cardiac arrest. It brings to mind the death of Sonny Bono
who had an accident while skiing and hit a tree. The newspaper reported Bono was not drinking alcohol, only a "Diet
Coke". Aspartame also causes confusion and disorientation, memory loss,
etc.
One pilot who asked that Mission Possible start an Aviation Div which
we did said: "Dumb I'm not, but I couldn't make a decision on aspartame
and crashed my plane into a tree." And yes, there are now
defibrillators on planes. Pilot Neill, American Airlines, was
drinking a diet drink and died in flight. The Captain landed the
plane for the body to be removed and to get a new
co-pilot. An unauthorized autopsy was requested by
American but they refused to allow his widow to see the results.
[Note - It is a common secret that many of the planes
that crash or go down for "no reason" had pilots who were drinking Diet Coke
! There are more of these than you would dare to want to know about
! And Aviation is not talking ! ]
The
New England Journal of Medicine published the article "Magnitude of Left
Ventricular Hypertrophy and Risk of Sudden Death in Hypertrophic
Cardiomyopathy." Dr. Bowen said: "Yes, that is what aspartame does
!"
One article on Cardiomyopathy and Its Relation to Exercise:
Sudden Death in Athletes
"http://wwwunix.oit.umass.edu/`excs597k/carpender/sdathletes.htm
says: "According to the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta 100,000
young athletes die each year from all cardio-vascular disorders, including
cardiomyopathy, as a result of participation in sports. This is twice as
many as due in auto accidents. Of the 100,000 who die annually, 45,000 of
them play basketball, not boxing or football.
An article in Science in
the last year which was discussed in the Atlanta Journal Constitution said
450,000 people each year are victims of sudden death. An article back in
2001 by the Journal of Athletic Training reported: "In the US each year, sudden cardiac arrest kills 350,000, which
is approximately 1000 people per day." ..... "The exact
incidence of sudden cardiac arrest in athletes is unknown because no universal,
standard
surveillances method is used." So the figures could even be
greater.
*** President Bush had a fainting spell and claimed this
was due to a pretzel. Blackouts are common in aspartame
victims and President Bush is constantly drinking Diet Coke. An
interesting article on Medscape is titled Syncope (fainting) as a predictor of
sudden cardiac arrest. Kathy Fulford (now Mission Possible Camilla,
Georgia) was certain she was dying
and was having blackouts and one
day almost hit a car head on. Her friend Darlene wanted to find
out what was killing Kathy. Ten doctors were unable to diagnose the cause
of her problems, mainly because the FDA, aspartame manufactures and professional
organizations funded by the manufacturer push
propaganda. She
put her symptoms into the Internet and came up on www.dorway.com She got off aspartame and
all problems disappeared. She said
her neighbor, a 46 year old beautician, drank Diet Coke from the time she got up
until she went to bed and her mind was going. She, too, had blackouts and
was found dead on the floor.
Probably the worst
case is that of Charles Fleming, who drank 10 diet drinks a day and other
aspartame products. He became ill after playing basketball and
died. His autopsy was classic of
death by aspartame. It showed the pulmonary edema that is
often evident. Dr. H. J. Roberts wrote an article published in Townsend
Letter for Doctors on this. It also showed the
chronic methanol poisoning and it is this that affects the
dopamine system
of the brain and causes the addiction. Methanol is classified as a
narcotic, and is one of the three components of aspartame.
It also showed the fatty liver. The Trocho Study in Spain in 1998
showed that the formaldehyde converted from the methanol accumulates in the
cells and damages DNA with most toxicity in the liver. It also
showed
the usual cardiac damage. The police did not know that aspartame causes chronic methanol poisoning (one of the
reason it mimics MS - destroys the central nervous system)
and thought his wife murdered him even though she passed their polygraph test
which was not admitted in court. She was sentenced to 50 years in prison
where she remains in Troy, Virginia, so frightened, a woman who was a Sunday
School teacher and helped the homeless.
Aspartame caused her to lose her husband, her home, her children and her
freedom. A film production company making an aspartame
documentary
recently interviewed her.
Dr. Bowen wrote: "The
death of Charles Flemming, an athlete who died after consuming very large
amounts of aspartame and creatine both of which lead to the formation and
release of large amounts of methanol in the body upon
their consumption has led me to review the medical literature in related
topics because his wife was falsely imprisoned for poisoning him with methanol which she never had any access to nor were any
proper forensics applied to really identify the source of the methanol poisoning
from which he apparently died. Charles had
used large amounts of Gatorade and dumped
in lots of
creatine, three times the recommended dose. Aspartame and Creatine are
both N methyl esters. They are both substrates from which the body by
obligatory mechanism forms methanol and thus they
are additive in
their effect of producing the highly
destructive methanol - formaldehyde - formic
acid - carbon monoxide toxic axis in the human body. Charles had
engaged in vigorous athletics - basketball. My more complete review of
this, and the topics essential to the biochemical comprehension of the
issues that his death thereupon hinged, and in fact occurred are posted
on this web page at www.bowendrjim.com
"There have been a lot of similar deaths of well known
athletes after consuming creatine and sports drinks and then engaging in
forced/competitive athletic activities. In the article on
aspartame and sudden death gives it gives a good foundation for understanding the
condition your heart and cardiac conduction system are left in if you consume
aspartame. The acute activation of the methanol-formaldehyde-formic
acid-carbon monoxide toxic axis from concurrent use of creatine and aspartame
is, of course, a
final blow to the already decomposed/compromised heart, and
its conduction system. We, however, need sources to come forward and
identify the fact that all or most of the other mentioned suddenly demised
athletes were indeed aspartame consumers."
Charles Fleming was also using Ephedra which got a bad
rap. It is not the ephedra but the aspartame, and there is an article about this on the web
site of the Idaho Observer, "Government attack on ephedra cover for aspartame
poisoning." Of course,
aspartame interacts with most every drug used to treat the problems it
causes and is also a chemical hypersensitization agent so it interacts with
vaccines, toxins, etc. And
it will interact with
ephedra having to do with catecholamines. These are biologically achive
amines, epinephrine and norepinephrine. derived from the amino acid
tyrosine. They have marked effect on the nervous and cardiovascular
systems, metabolic rate, temperature and smooth muscle. Tyrosine is
another breakdown product of aspartame. The
phenylalanine is converted
to tyrosine by the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase. Tyrosine undergoes a
change to dihydroxphenylalanine (levodopa) which then is transformed to
dopamine. If a product is going to
be taken off
the market because it interacts with aspartame, then the FDA needs to
immediately remove all cardiac medication, insulin, antidepressants,
anti-seizure medication, hormones, Lidocaine and even Coumadin. It doesn't
end. And pharmaceutical companies have been alerted
and refuse to even remove aspartame such as Pfizer making the
Listerine Strips which contain aspartame. Over 50
people have called about having seizures from these strips and Pfizer refuses to
even now answer a note.
Maxalt is a treatment for headaches by Merck, and
headache is number one on the FDA list of 92 symptoms from four types of
seizures to coma and
death. The problem is that Maxalt
has aspartame in it. They have been written to and about for years, yet
appear not to care what they are doing to these victims. As one lady said
yesterday who suffered from Migraines and other horrendous problems triggered by
aspartame, "I use Maxalt but I always have headaches." Benadryl chewable for children has aspartame in
it. The toxin triggers urticaria or hives big time, then they use
Benadryl which gives them more of the poison.
Aspartame is escalating
asthma and some of the asthma sprays have aspartame in it. Nobody has a
chance. Yet they remove ephedra which has been used for thousands of years
so it can take the rap for what aspartame is doing.
And that is exactly how Ephedra got the bad
reputation awhile back - big money and the well paid-off FDA keeps the REAL
culprit Aspartame, on the market, while it condemned and banned Ephedra,
that has had no harmful effects in the THOUSANDS OF YEARS IT HAS BEEN USED
!
In March, 2003 when the Idaho
Observer wrote that article on ephedra as a cover for aspartame poisoning
they were writing about another athlete who died, Baltimore Oriole's pitcher,
Steve Bechler. He died on February 17, 2003 and when Dr.
Roberts spoke to Brown county medical examiner, Dr. Joshua Perper, he was told
the cause of death was hyperthermia which caused
multiple organ
failure. Bechler's temperature had reached a high of 108 degrees.
When Dr. Perper was asked how many diet drinks Bechler drank a diet, he returned
a blank stare indicting he was unaware of the fact aspartame containing diet and
sports drinks could have caused this man's untimely death. We have since
researched the issue and found that Belcher
was concerned about his
fluctuating weight, and drink lots of diet drinks. Dr. Bowen wrote
an indepth report on aspartame raising temperature.
Dr. H. J. Roberts who
was nominated for another prestigious award in recognition for "important
research accomplishment in the broad field of metabolism, endocrinology,
nutrition or for research which contributes to a better understanding of the
chemical changes occurring in disease" has written for years on
aspartame and sudden death. In his medical text, Aspartame
Disease: An Ignored Epidemic, www.sunsentpress.com he said having to
do with aspartame and abnormal heart action: "190 (16%) reactors
experienced detectable changes in their heart rate or rhythm after consuming
aspartame - including gum - and products that did not contain caffeine.
They consisted of "fluttering" (palpitations), skipped beats and rapid heart
action (tachycardia). A number underwent heart monitoring
(Holter
testing) and other studies, especially when there had been associated weakness
and faint. "
"One patient developed a
slow pulse and complete heart block within hours after consuming an aspartame
drink for the first time. His attack spontaneously subsided within
one day (without requiring a pacemaker). There has been no recurrence with
aspartame avoidance. . This subject has relevance to reports of
UNEXPLAINED SUDDEN DEATH in persons who had been consuming considerable
aspartame." (WE are seeing Instant Sudden Death a lot today -
including very young children ! Our Children today are raised on these
deadly drinks and GE foods, and their learning abilities and disabilities have
risen to WORLD record high rates here in the U.S. ! IT kills me
to see a young mother giving her baby a bottle with sodas (bad even if they are
not diet type) and dyes loaded Cool Aid, and Gatorade that is loaded with
Aspartame and sodium (salt) ! How they can poison their babies like this
is beyond my comprehension ! They are killing their baby's brain cells
!)
Of hypertension he said that "64 aspartame reactors were found
to have elevation of their blood pressure - systolic, diastolic, or both.
Some were in their twenties
! While aspartame products unequivocally cause headache, superimposed hypertension can be a
contributing factor. .. Other patients who had been treated for
hypertension could not be adequately controlled on their maintenance medication
as long as they used aspartame. This reflects its interaction with various
drugs." ...
"The rapid heart action and the elevation of blood
pressure presumably reflect the effects of phenylalanine (an aspartame
component) and its metabolic products - dopamine, norepinephrine and
epinephrine." ....."85 aspartame reactors (7%), experienced unexplained
pain in the chest. (Many
others have atypical pain elsewhere in the
body). A number were subjected to stress tests and angiograpy for coronary
heart disease which proved normal in the majority."
Dr. Roberts was
recently published in Townsend Letter for Doctors an article on "Aspartame
Induced Dyspnea and Pulmonary Hypertension. " Dyspnea is labored
breathing. This is what Charles Fleming suffered with for about 30 days
before he died. In Dr. Roberts medical text under Shortness of Breath he
says that 110 aspartame reactors (9%) who complained of otherwise unexplained
"shortness of breath" promptly improved after avoiding these products.
They predictably suffered a recurrence on rechallenge. Had he only known
he was killing himself with aspartame and quit, Fleming would be
alive
today.
Dr. Roberts first text, Difficult Diagnosis, was used by 60,000
doctors, especially to prepare for their Board examinations. It was Dr.
Roberts who coined the phrase "Aspartame Disease"
because its use is consistent with Hippocratic writings. The
symptoms are predictable and there is a pattern. "When
a large number of people all catch the same disease at the
same time, the
cause must be ascribed to something common to
all."
(Rosenberg 1992). It is appropriate because this
affliction
fulfills these four Koch-like postulates:
* There is
an identifiable cause.
* Symptoms and signs follow such exposure and are reproducible in a
given individual.
* Improvement occurs after avoiding aspartame products (not always an
easy feat).
* The same complaints usually promptly recur on
challenge.
At Dr. Roberts first press
conference quoted in his first book on aspartame in 1990 he said that if
something wasn't done then in 5 or 10 years we would have a world plague on our
hands. And this prophecy has come to pass. People today are
literally dropping likes flies. He
told Congress that the current wholesale ingestion of aspartame products by over
half the population constitutes an "imminent public health hazard"
because of the frequency and severity of reactions. He says this warning
should be of particular concern for high risk groups - most notable, patients
with diabetes and hypoglycemia, pregnancy women, children, patients with
epilepsy, liver, heart, kidney disease and eating disorders, older persons with
memory impairment, the relatives of aspartame reactors and patients having
phenylketonuria.
It was the famed Dr. John Olney who founded the field of
neuroscience called excitotoxicity when he did studies on aspartic acid, 40% of
aspartame, in l970 and found lesions in the brains of mice. An excitotoxin
is a product that literally stimulates the neurons of the brain to death causing
brain damage of varying degrees. This definition is written across
the
back of the book Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills by neurosurgeon Russell
Blaylock, M.D. who wrote on the deadly effects of
aspartame and MSG. MSG another excitotoxin has a synergistic
and additive effect with aspartame. And you have to consider this when you
think of all the products these athletes are using like MSG that interact with aspartame.
And MSG is HIDDEN under fake or bogus names and
titles to make it sound like something else ! DECEPTION ! The FDA is
not out to PROTECT YOU ! They are out to keep the money flowing to the
product manufacturers , and to their own "paid-off" pockets
!
I wrote Gatorade which Charles Fleming was using and
several of the athletes who dropped dead, and asked what was in the
natural flavors, and was it aspartate, L-Cysteine (another excitotoxin) or
glutamic acid.
They have refused to answer me. www.truthinlabeling.org for info on
MSG.
Dr. Blaylock is another world expert on aspartame who has written on
sudden death. In his article on www.dorway.com, Aspartame, MSG and other
Excitotoxins and the Hypothalamus he talks about the effect of excitotoxins on
the sympathetic nervous system controlling centers in the hypothalamus.
"Over stimulation could result in cardiac electrical abnormalities leading to
sudden death. This has been demonstrated by
hypothalalamic stimulation
experiments. There have been clinical reports of cardiac related
emergency room visits following a meal high in excitotoxin
additives. Sudden deaths following such meals have also been
reported. Since most hospitals rarely consider this in their
differential diagnosis, we have no accurate data as to the number of ER visits
and
deaths related to this event. I suspect the numbers would be quite
high."
He said in conclusion, "There is compelling evidence to indicate
that food additive excitotoxins, such as aspartame, pose a serious danger to our
well being, especially so in the case of children and the elderly. It has
been demonstrated that excitotoxins in the diet can dramatically elevate free
radical generation for prolonged periods of time and that once
induced, it triggers a viscous cycle that ends in neurons
death. Most authorities now agree that elevated free radical
generation is associated with virtually all degenerative diseases as well as
most injuries and toxins. It makes little
sense to expose the general public to a product that we know increases free
radical generation so dramatically and is associated with laboratory proven
injuries to the nervous system."
Another autopsy report we have is of a woman who ingested so
much aspartame she went blind from the wood alcohol or methanol (converts to
formaldehyde and formic acid in the retina of the eye and destroys the optic
nerve). She went to the ER to find out what she had lost her sight
and dropped dead. Her autopsy is very much like others including the
pulmonary edema.
You may remember Flo Jo, a Diet Coke drinker who
had a seizure and dropped dead, no doubt another victim of aspartame, as
aspartame is a seizure triggering drug. Elton John drags his 6 pack
of diet pop on stage as he staggers with slurred speech from the methanol.
Will he be next? Several current athletes are using aspartame and showing
severe health problems
already. Anna Kournikova, tennis player, is one
of them. She always seems to be having injury problems. It's
terrible for an athlete to be drinking a slow poison along with the phosphoric
acid that leeches calcium from the bones. Another athlete, American's
second best cyclist after Lance Armstrong, uses Diet Coke and looks to be in
worse and worse health.
Mark Gold of the Aspartame Toxicity Center, www.holisticmed.com/aspartame
wrote: "I always seem to run across articles or TV shows where
athletes are using aspartame and having health problems. One female pro
athlete is so addicted that in answer to the question, "What one thing would you
want with you if stranded on a desert island," she said, "Diet Coke."
Unfortunately for her, her health and career has gone down the
tubes. Diet Coke IS addictive
!! Diet Coke still sponsors some sports events.
The biggest tennis tournament in the world, Wimbledon (in the UK). This
helps addict a lot of people in the U.K. Diet Coke is a sponsor of the
WNBA (the women's version of the NBA - National Basketball Association),
Etc.
Don Harkins who owns the Idaho Observer added a supplement, The
Artificially Sweetened Times, to the paper, 8 pages, for Aspartame Awareness
Weekend. It includes the Sudden Death issue and the Fleming case.
He doesn't mince words and says: "Admittedly,
the research we had already conducted on aspartame convinced us that it's
devastating to the
human body. Since millions of
people consume this government
approved, carcinogenic, mutagenic, neurotoxic, non-nutritive
synthetic sweetener every day, we were also convinced aspartame is helping to
DESTROY ENTIRE NATIONS. This is the real
reason this paper had to be published. " These
papers can be secured
by the hundreds for distribution by contacting the Idaho Observer, a newspaper
dedicated to truth in journalism. (Idaho Observer, P. O. Box 457, Spirit
Lake, Idaho 83869, 208 255 - 2307).
RESULTS of True Research Being Threatened By The Powers That BE !!
And what about so much of the main stream media who for
advertising reasons don't publish so much of this issue like the story of Charles Fleming, even though aspartame experts have written
affidavits stating the man died from aspartame without a shadow of a
doubt. Are manufacturers like Coke and
Pepsi worth their
protection. You can read the protest of the National Soft Drink
Association on www.dorway.com, part of the
congressional record, where they even quoted the law stating it was illegal to
put anything in carbonated beverages that decomposes or adulterates the
drink. They stated aspartame decomposes at 86
degrees. And it decomposes into deadly poisons! Yet,
they turned around and put it in pop anyway, the reason it was added to the
congressional record. They knew the gun was
loaded when they sent it to the Persian Gulf to sit in 120 degree Arabian sun
for as long as 8 weeks. 40,000 of the troops perished. What aspartame products are they now using in Iraq? We can
see them chewing the gum, no doubt sugarfree (Aspartame sweetened). Its
buccal so it works like nitroglycerin, goes through saliva straight to the brain.
Wrigley has been written for years and refuses to stop the
poisoning. Even the Enquirer hasn't written about Fleming.
Rage
must rise up in the nostrils of Almighty Jehovah God as these monsters who
knowingly poison the population turn
their backs on consumers. Aspartame was originally marketed by Searle, and
the FDA wanted them indicted for fraud but both U.S. Prosecutors hired on with
the defense team and the statute of limitations expired. The Board of
Inquiry of the FDA said aspartame was not safe and to revoke the petition
for approval. CEO of Searle at the time, Don
Rumsfeld, said he would call in his markers and get it approved. It didn't
matter to him that aspartame was a deadly poison. He was
on President Reagan's transition team and the day after Reagan took office he
appointed Dr. Arthur Hull Hayes as FDA Commissioner because no FDA Commissioner
in 16 years would approve aspartame. Dr. Hayes over-ruled this Board of
Inquiry of the FDA and then went to work for the PR firm of the manufacturer and
has refused to talk to
the press ever since.
If you read the 8 month
investigation of aspartame by United Press International on www.dorway.com you will see that
doctors were threatened about doing research.
This will help you understand why 92% of independent peer
reviewed research on aspartame shows the problems. And if you remove 6
studies the FDA had something to do with and one pro-industry summary,
100%
of independent, peer reviewed research on aspartame shows the problems.
Read Ralph Walton, M.D. 's report on this web site having to do with research
and funding. Dr. Walton himself did a study on
aspartame which the institution had to stop because of the problems caused by
this toxin. You can understand why Monsanto refused to
sell him the aspartame. And in the UPI investigation read about ILSE,
where research funds are sought. ILSE is funded by Coke, Pepsi,
Monsanto and the like putting pressure on Universities not to tell about
aspartame or do studies.
Cynthia
Crossen who wrote the book "The Tainted Truth" says the road to hell was paved
with research funds. Front groups are paid to
call the whole issue a hoax, and vital information that physicians need to
diagnose and save the lives of the people is withheld. The
propaganda put out on aspartame reads like it was written by Mother Goose.
Even physicians themselves who use aspartame and have problems don't
know where to turn. Read the story of Richard Sabates, M.D. on
web.
And as I write this a sweet, frightened Sunday School teacher, Diane
Fleming, remains in prison in Troy, Virginia because her husband Charles killed
himself with large amounts of aspartame. It is this
chronic methanol poisoning mentioned in the autopsy that also is responsible for
the addiction of aspartame because it effects the dopamine system of the
brain.
To add insult to injury prisons will not allow sugar and are
serving this deadly toxin to inmates. Diane herself
was using it until we convinced her to go without anything sweet. No
wonder she said she had health problems. Her headaches are now
gone.
Drop her a line and let her know people care about this horrible
injustice, have not forgotten her and are working to reunite her with her
children. This woman had spent one day a week helping the homeless and
even buying them clothes. Now lets help Diane Fleming.

Recently, I had
the pleasure of meeting Don Harkins who wrote the Artificially Sweetened Times
for Aspartame Awareness Weekend at the Atlanta Airport on his way to
Austria. I gave out a couple to people waiting for rides who read about
Sudden Death and Aspartame, and the Fleming Case. One man said: "And
so its true. I mentioned to my physician that I had friends who just
dropped dead. He said he had seen too many cases himself
and did a
search on the Internet. When he read about aspartame he decided to get his
patients off of it, especially those suffering with cardiac problems. He
was surprised to find the palpitations and other problems disappeared. He
said: "There is so much controversy on this product but with the thousands
of posts about its dangers they have to be keeping something from
physicians." Indeed, what they have kept from physicians
is "the
truth" about the toxicity of this poison. Help to get the word out about
this toxin, as you let Diane Fleming
know she is not forgotten. Prayerfully we work to reunite her with her
children.
We are facing what may be one of
the largest plagues in world
history. Aspartame has resulted in a blizzard of sudden deaths to the
athletes. Our children are falling like snow
flakes. Send this web site link (http://home1.gte.net/carriet/Aspartame=Death.htm
) this to everyone you know, and media we ask you publish the issue to
thousands. The life you save may just be someone in your family or one of
your children.
I have filed with the FDA a Citizens Petition for ban based on the fact
their records show
aspartame to be a deadly poison and they are lying to the public and
physicians.
So WHY are they hiding this ? Because they do not care about YOU or your health, they only care about profits for the big companies - and the FDA gets paid off to 'approve' just about everything ! Myself I never touch anything that is "FDA Approved" !
I know it's deadly if the government's FDA has anything to do with it !
The law requires they answer in 180 days. It
has been over a
year and they refuse to answer. The front groups have been reported to the
Attorney General based on Title 18, Section 1001, that is against he law to
knowingly misinform the public. He has done nothing.
Perhaps
someone should remind all these government agencies who don't have the courage
to act that Henry Clay (1777 - 1852) said: "Government is a trust, and the
offices of the government are trustees, and both the trust and the trustees are
created for the benefit of the people." Even the FDA's own toxicologist,
Dr. Adrian Gross, told Congress: "And if the FDA violates its own laws who
is left to protect the people."
Mission Possible International is a
worldwide, unpaid, volunteer force warning planet earth off aspartame, and
forwarding medical facts from the aspartame experts to the medical community who
have been lied to. Aspartame Detoxification Centers are now available in
some cities. Case histories on brain tumors, seizures, blindness and eye
deterioration are now been transferred to class action attorneys.
There are four support groups on line to care for the sick and
disabled.
Monsanto sold NutraSweet to Michael Dell's Investment
Company, Childs in Boston, Ajinomoto, their Siamese twin, another
aspartame manufacturer and Monsanto's investment company of Monsanto
managers. All these companies
are listed on www.dorway.com In the words of Mohammed
Ali, "They can run, but they can't hide." (Yes, he is another Aspartame victim
!)

P.S. For Dr. H. J. Roberts' many
books on aspartame, go to
www.sunsentpress.com For Dr.
Russell Blaylock's books go to
www.russellblaylockmd.com His
new book Health & Nutrition Secrets to Save Your Life is excellent on what
to do if you have used aspartame, and he has written a paper for Aspartame
Awareness Weekend on what to take, step by step, if you have ever used it.
Remember, brain cells cannot rejuvenate; once they are
gone, they are GONE

These brilliant and courageous physicians mentioned above have been exposing this deadly neurotoxic drug for years, and the fact
that it can take your life. Dr. Bowen told the FDA years ago that
aspartame is mass poisoning of the American public and more than 70+ countries
of the world. He also said that everyone
involved in the marketing of this poison including those who keep it on the
market (FDA) should be criminally prosecuted. Dr. Bowen is a victim himself and suffers from Lou Gehrigs
disease like many of those who served in the Persian Gulf. He was
working in the desert drinking gallons of Diet Kool
Aide.

There is a conspiracy against our health !
And it is way past time for the people to rise up against it and take back their lives and health !
We need to bombard, scream, march, call and write our congressmen, senators, etc. against the FDA for allowing these toxic poisons to be placed in virtually ALL our foods, drinks, and products in the store !
Simple things like a cup of hot cocoa is even loaded with the stuff under the guise of "flavorings"; and that Ovaltine commercial with all the kids screaming for more of the stuff is down right child abuse !! USING kids help to destroy all the other kids of the nation ! Ovaltine, like most of all the products on our shelves today, is loaded with this toxic stuff, as are diet weight-loss drinks like Slim Fast ! You cannot even chew a stick of gum without Aspartame assaulting your body and brain !!!
These toxins are NOT put on the label so as you would know what they are; they are put in disguise under ingredience you'd never guess was a cover for them !! THAT is how desperate this conspiracy against our health and minds is to control YOU ! YOU have to be TRAINED for the One World Order Government ! AND THAT is just what has been going on in this nation for the past 50 years, and the government child vaccination program is very much a part of it also ! Vaccinations go directly to the brain and damage it , killing brain cells, (and sometimes killing the baby or child also) which is why we have seen so much violence and killings among our youth ! [ See - Babies Dying Immediately After The Hospital Hepatitis B Shots ]
This is very serious stuff people !! And the medical profession, who are controlled by the Government via their medical licenses, are forced to LIE to you and DECEIVE you in order to get you into the government vaccination agenda !
We are fighting for our very lives here !!!
