THE MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS FOUNDATION
& FDA ARE SUING FOR COLLUSION WITH MONSANTO
By Betty Martini

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, they announced that there was an epidemic of
multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus, and they did not understand what
toxin was causing this to be rampant across the United States. I explained I
was there to lecture on exactly that subject.

When the temperature of aspartame exceeds 86 degrees F, the wood alcohol in
aspartame 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 in 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 cannot 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 to product usage! We
have a very serious problem.

Even a stranger came up to Dr. Espisto, (one of my speakers) and myself 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 drinkers, had all been diagnosed with MS. This is beyond
coincidence.

Here is the problem. There were Congressional Hearings when aspartame was
originally included as a sweetener in 100
different products. Since this initial hearing, there have been two
subsequent hearings, but to no avail. Nothing has 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 converts to formaldehyde in the
retina of the eye. Formaldehyde is grouped in the same class of drugs 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 changes 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 had 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 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, a prominent neurosurgeon of Jackson, Mississippi, said,
"The ingredients stimulate 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 aspartame back to the store. Take the "NO
ASPARTAME TEST" and send us your case history. I assure you that MONSANTO,
the creator of aspartame, knows how deadly it is. They fund the American
Medical Association, American Dietetic Association, Congress, and the
Conference of the American College of Physicians. The New York Times,
November 15, 1996, ran an article on how the American Dietetic Association
takes money from the food industry to endorse their products. Therefore,
they cannot criticize any additives or tell about their link to MONSANTO.

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 Desert Storm health problems. The burning tongue and other
problems discussed in over 60 cases can be directly related to the
consumption of aspartame product. Several thousand pallets of diet drinks
were shipped to the Desert Storm troops. (Remember heat can liberate the
methanol from the aspartame at 86 degrees F.) Diet drinks sat in the 120
degree F Arabian sun for weeks at a time on pallets. The servicemen 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." According to Dr. Louis Elsas, Pediatrician and Professor of
Genetics, at Emory University, in his testimony before Congress, " The
phenylalanine concentrates in the placenta causing mental retardation. 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, one physician in the audience, a neurosurgeon, said, "When they
remove brain tumors, they have found high levels of aspartame in them."
Although 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 FDA for years, the FDA 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.

Senator Howard Hetzenbaum wrote a bill that would have warned 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 loose the hounds of disease and death on an unsuspecting
public. Since the Conference of the American College of Physicians, we hope
to have the help of several world leaders.

Again, please help us, too. There are a lot of people out there who must be
warned, please let them know this information.

THE ASPARTAME STORY
FAX/Email to the Pioneer-Tribune (Manistique, MI, 49554)
"Letters to the Editor" column on June, 17, 1999

http://www.dorway.com/pioneer.txt

As founder of Mission Possible International, a worldwide volunteer force in
the US and many countries of the world, warning all consumers off aspartame
(NutraSweet/Equal/Spoonful), I am answering Paula Ackerman's (R.D.) note
saying aspartame is safe. I lectured for the World Environmental Conference
in l995 when Dr. Clarice Gaylord of the EPA said "We have an epidemic of MS
and lupus and cannot identify the toxin." I replied I was there to lecture
on MS and lupus and identify the toxin as NutraSweet." Nancy Markle
published the article under her name in Dec, l998 and it was put on 450
global networks making world news. It is no hoax and for those on Internet
you can access <http://www.dorway.com/nomarkle.html> and read confirmation
by physicians including Dr. H. J. Roberts position paper: MS or Aspartame
Disease? There is also rebuttal to the NutraSweet team by world famous
toxicologist, Dr. George Schwartz, and even the confession of the EPA as to
why they originally denied the story including correspondence with Dr.
Gaylord.

H. J. Roberts, M.D., F.A.C.P., F.C.C.P. (diabetic specialist) has now
declared Aspartame Disease to be a world epidemic and is in the process of
publishing a 700 page medical text on the world plague. His material was
distributed at the First International Conference on Emerging Diseases in
l998 in Atlanta to doctors and scientists from 91 countries of the world. He
was a member of the ADA over 35 years but they refused to publish an
abstract on aspartame diabetic reactors as they are funded by NutraSweet
(Monsanto) and admit they write their material. Dr. Roberts position paper
says aspartame precipitates diabetes, keeps blood sugar out of control,
destroys the optic nerve and causes convulsions. World expert on aspartame,
he has been selected as the best doctor in the US (l984) and is in Who's Who
In The World, a distinction only given to 1 out of 225,000 physicians. His
other books and tapes on aspartame: 1-800-814-9800.

In the l993 ADA Courier, smiling dietitians received $75,000 from
NutraSweet; it was admitted NutraSweet writes their material. We consider
them Monsanto's media flacks as they run to their defense when aspartame is
exposed. The IFIC mentioned in this article I consider a PR firm for junk
food and believe Monsanto's writes the material on aspartame. It has been
rebutted with medical references on <http://www.dorway.com/offasprt.html>.
The FDA, who over-ruled a Board of Inquiry to approve aspartame, uses it to
convince people aspartame is safe.

Aspartame mimics MS because it destroys the central nervous system. Dr.
David Squillacote of the MS Foundation wrote propaganda trying to rebut the
issue but refuses to answer anyone. Many have written but there is no
number or way to contact him. Understand the trade organizations are funded
by industry, many admit Monsanto writes their material. I particularly take
issue with the MS people because they have full knowledge and have received
info for years. At their last MS walk to raise money they gave out Diet
Cokes and tried their best to stop the walkers from getting the information
on aspartame.

The daily allowable dose was set for rats not humans. Its a question the
FDA refuses to answer <http://www.dorway.com/fdaquery.html>. This includes
25 other questions given to the FDA by Newt Gingrich over 3 years ago. Also
on www.dorway.com is Dr. Louis Elsas testimony before Congress (Pediatric
professor, genetics, Emory University) that aspartame is a neurotoxin and
teratogen (triggers birth defects). It has been outlawed in the European
Union for infants and children. Fetal tissue does not tolerate wood
alcohol. In Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills ( 1-800-643-2665) by
neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock, M.D., he says even if a baby were to survive
aspartame when he reaches puberty and has to use more complex parts of his
brain you will see the problem and aspartame triggers ADD and autism. In a
lecture by Dr. Blaylock on DORway he says reactions to aspartame are toxic,
not allergic, like arsenic and cyanide. Its a chemical poison.

Ackerman admits aspartame requires a PKU warning (50% phenylalanine floods
the brain, lowers the seizure threshold and depletes serotonin -- breaks
down to DKP, a brain tumor agent), yet there is no warning for pregnant
women, and you don't know if the baby is PKU until its born! A crime!

A recent study in Spain , Trocho C. Pardo R, et al. Formaldehyde derived
from dietary aspartame binds to tissue components, Life Sciences 63:
337-349, 1998, shows formaldehyde accumulates in the cells and damages DNA
with 50% toxicity in the liver and substantial amounts in the kidneys,
adipose tissue, retina and brain. Dr. Blaylock says in a paper on
www.dorway.com - Not Another Food Scare: Toxins In Your Food, last page,
that with this news one would have to be suicidal to use aspartame. In the
case of lupus, simply put, aspartame turns your immune system against your
body. The formaldehyde embalms the proteins and makes them strnge to the
immune system. Your immune attacks your own body because it considers your
own denatured protein as an antigen. Then then generates the false
inforation fed into the immune system your own proteins are to be attacked.
Then any other insults, mental, physical, immunological can stimulate the
immune attack and the immune attack is lupus.

Two support groups have been set up on line, Aspartame One List and
Aspartame Survivors International to help the victims of Aspartame Disease.
The first NutraSweet Detoxification Center has been set up in Atlanta by Dr.
Paula Rhodes. Aspartame is a drug that interacts with other drugs, and
changes brain chemistry!

James Bowen, M.D., who has Lou Gehrigs from aspartame wrote the FDA that it
is mass poisoning of the American public and more than 70 countries of the
world. Email <help@...> with nothing in message text or subject line
and you will get a map of the 500 pages on <http://www.dorway.com> including
all reports mentioned. Read the Bressler Report, FDA audit, and see what
the studies that approved aspartame really showed -- brain tumors, mammary
tumors, ovarian tumors, atrophied testes, seizures, pancreatric tumors,
pituitary adenomas, uterine tumors, etc. Also, the protest of the National
Soft Drink Association. They knew it was a poison before they put it in
pop.

If you do not have Internet access send a self-addressed large envelope with
$3.20 postage and we will send you the medical reports without charge.
Address: Mission Possible International, 9270 River Club Parkway, Duluth,
