>In October of 2001, my sister started getting very sick. She had stomach

>By March 2002, she had undergone several tissue and muscle biopsies and was
>on 24 various prescription medications. The doctors could not determine
>what was wrong with her. She was in so much pain, and so sick.she just knew
>she was dying. She put her house, bank accounts, lifeinsurance, etc., in
>her oldest daughter's name, and made sure that her younger children were to
>be taken care of.

>
>She also wanted her last hooray, so she planned a trip to Florida
>(basically in a wheelchair) for March 22nd.

>On March 19 I called her to ask how her most recent tests went, and she
>said they didn't find anything on the test, but they believe she had MS. I
>recalled an article a friend of mine e-mailed to me and I asked my sister
>if she drank diet soda? She told me that she did. As a matter of fact,
>she was getting ready to crack one open that moment.

>I told her not to open it, and to stop drinking the diet soda! I e-mailed
>her the article my friend, a lawyer, had sent. My sister called me within
>32 hours after our phone conversation and told me she had stopped drinking
>the diet soda AND she could walk! The muscle spasms went away. She said
>she didn't feel 100% but she sure felt a lot better. She told me she was
>going to her doctor with this article and would call me when she got home.

>Well, she called me, and said her doctor was amazed! He is going to call
>all of his MS patients to find out if they consumed artificial sweeteners
>of any kind. In a nutshell, she was being poisoned by the Aspartame in the
>diet soda...and literally dying a slow and miserable death.

>
>When she got to Florida March 22, all she had to take was one pill, and
>that was a pill for the Aspartame poisoning! She is well on her way to a
>complete recovery. And she is walking! No wheelchair! This article saved
>her life. If it says 'SUGAR FREE' on the label; DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!
>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, it was announced that in the United
>States in 2001 there is an epidemic of multiple sclerosis and systemic
>lupus. It was difficult to determine exactly what toxin was causing this to
>be rampant. I stood up and said that I was there to lecture on exactly that
>subject. I will explain why Aspartame is so dangerous: When the temperature
>of this sweetener exceeds 86 degrees F, the wood alcohol in ASPARTAME
>converts 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, among other conditions, multiple
>sclerosis and systemic lupus. Many people were being diagnosed in error.
>Although multiple sclerosis is not a death sentence, Methanol toxicity is!

>
>Systemic lupus has become almost as rampant as multiple sclerosis,
>especially with Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi drinkers. The victim usually does
>not know that the Aspartame is the culprit. He or she continues its use;
>irritating the lupus to such a degree that it may become a life-threatening
>condition. We have seen patients with systemic lupus become asymptotic,
>once taken off diet sodas.
>
>
>In cases of those diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, most of the symptoms
>disappear. We've seen many cases where vision loss returned and hearing
>loss improved markedly.

>
>This also applies to cases of tinnitus and fibromyalgia. 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,
>unexplainable depression, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, blurred vision,
>or memory loss you probably have ASPARTAME poisoning!' People were jumping

>Yes! Yes! Yes! STOP drinking diet sodas and be alert for Aspartame on food
