************************************* QUOTE OF THE MONTH: "The more we can release our learned tendency to judge, the more we open our minds to a quality of understanding that is Divine in origin. 'Let me know what I am able to know and trust that behind all events, no matter how painful, there is a reason from which good can come'." -- Caroline Myss, PhD, from 'Anatomy of the Spirit'
**************************************** IN THIS ISSUE:
1: Opening Letter: Apartates, Oxides, and more.
************************************** OPENING LETTER Hello Everyone, I have spent a lot of time lately reviewing notes I have compiled from interviewing Dr. Raymond Peat, PhD, the world-renowned expert on hormones, thyroid, oils and fats. Beginning with this months letter I would like to share some of what he has been teaching me. I am going to paraphrase what he said concerning aspartates: 'Dr Donald Kelly (wrote 'One Answer to Cancer') had a supplement company, his supplier convinced him to switch to aspartates in his supplements and he started having epilepsy, had it for 7 months, and I showed him an article where aspartic acid triggered seizures, and so he stopped taking it and never had another seizure. He also took them out of his supplements'. This is a good example to illustrate why I am so particular about the recommendations I make. It really irks me that there is good information out there being ignored that is letting us know that a common ingredient in many health supplements is toxic. Dr. Kelly and Dr. Peat are two of the great minds of our century, both have done very important research and work in the health field. And yet, apartates can be found in numerous health supplements. This is why I continually go out of my way to study and research, to find out what foods and supplements we should take, and what we should not take into our bodies. Here is more of what Dr. Peat said (and I am paraphrasing again), 'Aspartates: Aspartic acid then glutamic acid are brain excitants, if you get a little too much, when it comes balanced in a good protein it is okay, even some proteins give you way too much, and when you take it in a tablet you are increasing the chance of creating the excitotoxic condition in brain cells and muscle cells.' He also says that oxides are not well absorbed, 98% passes right through, as in calcium or magnesium oxide. So take a closer look at the formulas you are taking and giving your children, they likely contain apartates or oxides, one is dangerous and the other useless. What you want are quality carbonates and citrates. Better yet, it is always best to get your nutrients from whole foods, not supplements. Watching out for your health,
Timothy J. Long PS The article following on apartames is related to what is being said about aspartates.
****************************************** Dear Readers, I am once again going to break my rule about printing emails forwarded to me such as this one. In the past, I have been held accountable for passing on in my newsletters articles making exaggerated claims. No doubt in this article someone will point out such erroneous and exaggerated facts, but nevertheless, I am printing this without checking every statement for its scientific validity. Sometimes it takes a little exaggeration to get the point across. Overall, I believe the basic information in this article to be correct. I know Apartame is dangerous to your health. So, if by reading this article you come to realize that this chemical does not belong in the diet of man or animal, then some good will have been done. -- James Long Subject: Aspartame This is long but the information is good. It's also scary! WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL CONFERENCE and the MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS FOUNDATION F.D.A. ISSUING FOR COLLUSION WITH MONSANTO Article written by Nancy Markle (1120197) 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 that 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 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 irritating 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 by 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 addicts, had all been diagnosed with MS. This is beyond coincidence. Here is the problem. There were Congressional Hearings when aspartame was included in 100 different products. Since this initial hearing, there have been two subsequent hearings, but to no avail. Nothing as 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 dmgs 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. 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 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 to 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, neurosurgeon, said, "The ingredients stimulates 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 didn't 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. I assure you that MONSANTO, the creator of aspartame, knows how deadly it is. They fund the American Diabetes Association, American Dietetic Association, Congress, and the Conference of the American College of Physicians. The New York Times, on 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 Dessert Storm health problems. The burning tongue and other problems discussed in over 60 cases can be directly related to the consumption of an aspartame product. Several thousand pallets of diet drinks were shipped to the Dessert 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 service men 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". The phenylalanine concentrates in the placenta, causing mental retardation, according to Dr. Louis Elsas, Pediatrician Professor - Genetics, at Emory University in his testimony before Congress. 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". 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 some 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.

*************************************** SOME MORE HEALTH TIPS: ***Despite all the propaganda, I think cow's milk is a good food. I myself have begun to drink organic lowfat or skim cow's milk. Milk is a good source of calcium, vitamin A and D. Ideally you want milk that is not homogenized, and if you can get good raw milk all the better. If you can only get commercial milk, then choose skim. Most the factors you would not want in milk, such as drug or pesticide residues are attached to the fat. Milk on the whole is a very good whole, balanced food. Like eggs, it covers a lot of bases. It is a shame the way the alternative health industry has bad mouthed some very good traditional foods and has spoken so highly of other foods that are actually not good for us at all (like soy, and polyunsaturated oils). My work is about daring to question everything concerning our health. I must admit I went along with some misguided teachings in my early years in alternative health. Though I am now hopeful that my clients and readers can enjoy the fruits of my own experiences. ***I want to remind everyone to have a shredded carrot salad often. It is a wonderful way to add fiber to your diet that will help cleanse toxins from your bowels, take a load off your liver, and take excess estrogen from your body. This alone is probably one of your best preventions against colon cancer in particular, as well as all cancers. ***Tropical fruits and orange juice are good natural sources of magnesium.
