        THOSE RESPONSIBLE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM ARE THE PROBLEM

THE ASPARTAME STORY

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 theimmune 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@dorway.com with nothing in message text or
subject line and you will get a map of the 500 pages on 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, Georgia 30097.  Mission Possible sells nothing and is a
humanitarian hands around the world campaign to stop the disability and
death from this deadly neurotoxin.
