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' &'Spoonful'.
In the keynote address by the EPA. They announced that there was
an epidemic of Multiple Sclerosis, 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 inturn 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
In the case of Systemic Lupus, we are finding it has become almost
as rampant as Multiple Sclerosis especially in Diet Coke &Diet
Pepsi drinkers. Also, with Methanol toxicity, the victims usually
drink 3 to 4 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,
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
We have seen cases where their vision has returned and even their
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
"
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
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
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
"
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
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,
Nothing has been done. The drug and chemical lobbies have very
deep pockets. Now there are over 5,000 products containing this
At the time of this first hearing, people were going blind. The
Methanol in the Aspartame converts to Formaldehyde in the retina
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
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
The Congressional record said, "It makes you crave Carbohydrates
&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
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,
The Aspartame keeps the blood sugar level out of control, causing
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
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
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
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
Dr. Blaylock and Dr. Roberts will be writing a position paper
According to the Conference of the American College of Physicians,
"We are talking about a plague ofneurological diseases caused

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,
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
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

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
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,
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
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
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
"
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 - DON'T EVEN
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
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
