Dear Jeffrey:  We are only one of several organizations that have existed 
since aspartame was put on the market to warn the public.  It would seem 
rather odd for people AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE to warn the public of a 
product if it wasn't deadly.  Also, when people start DYING from the 
product, should their tombstone read:  Death From NutraSweet Anecdote.

When does thousands and thousands and thousands of case histories of 
people suffering serious medical complaints become something other than 
an anecdote?  Every call I've gotten in the last two days is from people 
going blind on NutraSweet.  If the problems were from something other 
than NutraSweet then why do they disappear when they get off the toxin?
That is, if we get them in time.  I would suggest you read the story of 
Joyce Wilson on our auto-responder.  I interviewed her widower, Richard 
Wilson.  He said she first went blind and then went to 36 different 
doctors for a diagnosis of her complaints, finally misdiagnosed as MS.
NutraSweet destroys the brain and eventually she lost her memory and died 
like an Alzheimer victim, a vegetable.  

Joyce Wilson told Senator Howard Metzenbaum in a letter: "It's too late 
for me, please help others."  She had become ASPARTAME VICTIMS AND THEIR 
FRIENDS OF GEORGIA before her death.  Senator Metzenbaum did try to help.
He wrote a bill that would have warned pregnant women and infants, so 
children would never have even been able to use this drug.  It also would 
have put a moratorium on aspartame until the NIH did studies on the 
problems he listed in the population at that time.

     Effect of aspartame on brain chemistry
     Effects on pregnant women and fetuses
     Behavioral and neurological effects
     Interaction of aspartame with drugs, including monoamine oxidase
       inhibitors, alpha-methyl-dopa and L-dihydroxphenylalanine
     The effect of the consumption of aspartame in increasing the
     probability of seizures

And, of course, thats not all.  Even the FDA lists 92 documented symptoms 
from blindness and coma to chest pain and death.  Its all on our 
auto-responder.  

Not only is aspartame a drug and not a food additive (which is why it 
interacts with other drugs) but according to Alex Constantine in the 
article NutraPoison, on our responder, it was listed in an inventory of
prospective biochemical warfare weapons with the pentagon to be submitted 
to Congress - instead being used as a sweetener.  

Why did Senator Metzenbaum want independent studies by NIH?  Because
some of the studies that approved aspartame funded by the manufacturer 
were a target for an indictment for fraud.  The reason it was not carried 
out is that U.S. Attorney Sam Skinner decided to go to work for the law 
firm of the manufacturer defending the case, as did the U.S. Attorney
after him, Conlon.

And the FDA never wanted to approve aspartame, and it was kept off the 
market for 16 years because of the brain tumors and seizures.  The FDA 
Commissioner when Reagan became president refused to approve it.  Reagan 
fired him and put in his friend, Dr. ARthur Hull Hayes.  There was so 
much opposition that a Board of Inquiry was set up with the FDA and they 
said not to approve it.  Dr. Hayes over-ruled his own Board of Inquiry 
and approved NutraSweet for human consumption letting slip the hounds of 
disease and death on an unwarned population.  He then went to work for 
Searle's PR firm and refused to speak to the press for 10 years.  
Monsanto bought Searle in l985.

I am digusted that there was so much lobbying against at least allowing 
the babies to live which are now often murdered in their mother's womb.
You have no idea how many people have lost their babies because they were 
on diet drinks.  I'm the one who listens to their crying and its my 
shoulder they cry on when they say:  "Why wasn't I warned?"  Dr. James 
Bowen says fetal tissue does not tolerate methanol.  And DR. Louis Elsas 
of Emory University, Pediatric Professor, Genetics, testified before 
Congress on November 3, 1987 that NutraSweet is a known neurotoxin and 
teratogen (something that causes birth defects).  Further he explained 
how the phenylalanine concentrates in the placenta and can cause mental 
retardation - if the baby lives.  

Dr. Roberts wrote a position paper on pregnancy and aspartame and said 
even a "man" who consumes aspartame at the time of conception can cause 
birth defects in his child.  Its on the auto-responder.  

Dr. Roberts, an endocrinologist, has also done research on Alzheimers for 
30 years and recently published DEFENSE AGAINST ALZHEIMERS DISEASE, 
already nominated for a Pulitzer.  He explains how NutraSweet is 
escalating the disease.

I would suggest that you read some of his material or get his tapes on 
aspartame and Alzheimers - 1 800 -814-9800.

I've been researching aspartame for years.  As Dr. Julian Whitaker said 
in his newsletter: "I never allow aspartame in my house - children live 
there!" No child should be consuming a product with wood alcohol that 
converts to formaldehyde and then formic acid (ant sting poison), with 
two neurotoxic amino acids that go past the blood brain barrier and 
deteriorate the neurons of the brain.  Incidently, Dr. Russell Blaylock, 
neurosurgeon has that written on the back of his book EXCITOTOXINS; THE 
TASTE THAT KILLS 1 800 -643-2663.

If you would like to see a cross-section of case histories we've taken 
off the net as we ask people to take the 60 day "no aspartame test" I'll 
be glad to send it to you.  Its a very very long email, and it only as a 
few lines from each post.  

Because this poison changes the brain chemistry it triggers all kinds of 
neurological diseases and "Aspartame Disease" is now epidemic!  Dr. 
Roberts told Newt Gingrich in a letter "millions are involved".  I would 
suggest you do some research, the instructions to the auto-responder are 
beneath my signature.  You can also check out this web page:
