> THIS IS AN E-MAIL I RECEIVED,I THOUGHT WOULD BE OF INTEREST, ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT DRINK DIET SODAS.

> In October of 2001, my sister started getting very
> sick, she had stomach spasms, she was having a hard
> time getting around, to walk was a major chore. It
> took everything she had just to get out of bed, she
> was in so much pain. By March 2002, she had undergone
> biopsies, and was on 24 various prescription
> medications. The doctors could not figure out what was
> wrong with her. She was in so much pain, and so sick,
> she knew she was dying.
>
> She put her house, bank accounts, life insurance,
> etc., in her oldest daughters name, and made sure her
> younger children were to be with her oldest daughter.
> She wanted her last hooray, so she planned a trip to
> FL (basically in a wheelchair) for March 22nd. On
> March 19th I called her to ask her how one of her
> tests went, and she said they didn't find anything on
> the test, but they believe she had MS. I thought, oh,
> my....then I recalled an article a friend of mine
> emailed to me...and I asked her....Do you drink Diet
> pop? She told me yes, as a matter of fact she was
> getting ready to crack one open that moment, I told
> her not to open it, and stop drinking the diet
> pop....and I emailed her the following article. She
> called me within 32 hours after our phone conversation
> and told me she stopped drinking the diet pop, and she
> can
> walk...she went up the stairs, and the muscle spasms
> went away. She said
> she didn't feel 100% but sure felt a lot better. She
> told me she was going to her doctors with this article
> and would call me back when she got home.
>
> She called me, and her doctor was amazed, he is going
> to call all of his MS patients to find out if they
> consumed artificial sweetener. In a nutshell, she was
> being poisoned by the Aspartame in the diet soda,
> dying a slow death.
>
> When she got to FL March 22nd, all she had to take was
> one pill, and that was a pill for poisoning....she is
> well on her way to recovery.....and she is
> walking!!!!! No wheelchair!!!! This article saved her
> life!!!!

> The life saving article:

> If it says "SUGAR FREE," on the label, DO NOT EVEN

> 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, that it was hard to understand 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.
>
> People were being diagnosed with having multiple
> sclerosis in error. The
> multiple sclerosis is not a death sentence, where
> 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,
> aggravating the lupus to such a degree that it may
> become life-threatening. We have seen
> patients with systemic lupus become asymptomatic once
> taken off diet sodas.
>
> In the case of those diagnosed with Multiple
> Sclerosis, (when in reality, the disease is methanol
> toxicity), most of the symptoms disappear. We've seen
> many cases where vision returned and hearing improved
> markedly. 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 some of these symptoms:
> Is it reversible?" Yes! Not drinking diet sodas and
> keeping an eye out for aspartame on food labels, yes!
>
> We have a very serious problem. A stranger came up to
> Dr. Espisto (one of my
> speakers) and me 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!
> Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi etc. IS NOT A DIET
> PRODUCT! The Congressional Record states that it makes
> you crave
> carbohydrates and will make you FAT. The formaldehyde
> stores in the fat
