Subject: To ABC about Dr. Karl's propaganda attempting to convince
Australians the aspartame toxicity issue is a hoax
I am writing because ABC says that they will stand behind Dr. Karl and this
is regardless of the fact that not only is his information untrue but can
easily be proven to be false. First of all, obviously I know if I have
lectured for the World Environmental Conference. My invitation to speak is
on www.dorway.com/nomarkle.html The full story is there as well under
Update World Environmental Conference.
This came about because a post I had written to a group of neurosurgeons was
picked up by a Nancy Markle. She changed the title and put her name on it.
A global networker by the name of Shoshanna Allison saw it and because her
husband was a victim (lupus, seizures, mood swings, etc.) placed it on 450
global networks to warn the world. Her efforts saved so many thousands of
people that four support groups were set up for the sick and disabled.
Today Aspartame Detoxification Centers are in the US, Canada and Brazil.
As a Legal Department, I don't have to tell you the power of the
Pharmaceutical Industry. They get what they want because they have a
bottomless checkbook (chequebook). In the case of aspartame, it was beyond
not just being safe, the FDA actually wanted the original manufacturer to be
indicted for fraud. Both U.S. Prosecutors, Sam Skinner and William Conlon,
hired on with the defense team and the statute of limitations expired.
Let's face it, when the District Attorney goes to work for the Godfather,
expect acquittal. The Bressler Report, the FDA Audit, on www.dorway.com
explains some of the things that Searle did. Understand, if you have a
deadly chemical poison and you're trying to do studies to show safety, it
can't be done unless the studies are fixed. Aspartame breaks down to a
brain tumor agent, DKP, so when the rats developed brain tumors Searle would
excise the tumors, then put the rats back in the study.
When they died they would resurrect them on paper as the report points out.
I spoke with Jerome Bressler and thanked him for his report at which point
he told me that the studies were so bad that when the FDA retyped his report
they left out 20% of the worst part he had written. He also told this to
Doctors H. J. Roberts, and neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock. Dr. Roberts had
his Congressman demand the information from the FDA but they refused.
Originally Dr. John Olney, one of the most renowned neuroscientists on the
planet today, did studies on aspartic acid (l970) which is 40% of aspartame
and found it caused lesions in the brains of mice. He founded the field of
neuroscience called excitotoxicity. Dr. Blaylock wrote the book on it,
Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills, www.russellblaylockmd.com An
excitotoxin is a product that literally stimulates the neurons of the brain
to death causing brain damage of varying degrees. Dr. Olney with the help
of James Turner, Attorney in Washington, D.C. attempted to prevent the
approval of this deadly neurotoxin.
The FDA refused to allow aspartame on the market for 16 years. But Don
Rumsfeld, now Secretary of Defense, was CEO of Searle and said he would call
in his markers and get it approved regardless of the fact the FDA said it
was not safe and caused braintumors. I might mention it also triggered
mammary, uterine, testicular, pancreatic and thyroid tumors, for starters.
The FDA's own toxicologist, Dr. Adrian Gross told Congress that aspartame
violated the Delaney Amendment because without a shadow of a doubt aspartame
can cause brain tumors and brain cancer. The Delaney Amendment forbids plac
ing anything in food you know will cause cancer.
The other FDA toxicologist, Dr. Jacqueline Verrett, told Congress all
studies on aspartame were built on a foundation of sand and should be thrown
out. It was like trying to do studies on arsenic and show it to be safe and
they couldn't do it. In fact, aspartame is a chemical hypersensitization
agent and interacts with vaccines and other toxins.
The FDA's own report shows 92 documented symptoms triggered by aspartame
from 4 types of seizures to coma and death. Dr. Blaylock has a lecture on
www.dorway.com where he says to understand that the reactions to aspartame
are not allergic reactions - but toxic like arsenic and cyanide.
Don Rumsfeld was on President Reagan's transition team. The day he took
office he appointed Dr. Arthur Hull Hayes as FDA Commissioner to approve
aspartame. But Reagan knew it would take about 30 days to get Hayes to the
FDA and in the meantime the current FDA Commissioner could put an end to
aspartame. So talk about political clout - Reagan wrote an executive order
making the current FDA Commissioner powerless to do anything about
aspartame. When Hayes got to the FDA he over-ruled the Board of Inquiry of
the best scientists the FDA had to offer who said aspartame is not safe,
caused brain tumors and the petition is revoked. That's how aspartame got
on the market. Now if you want proof of this and you want to hear it right
out of the mouth of Attorney James Turner all you have to do is get a copy
of the movie just released on aspartame, Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World.
You can get a copy from [email hidden] It is getting rave
reviews and has already been shown in over 10 countries of the world. In
fact, its being marketed in Australia. It's not going to go away and Sound
and Fury are now doing a sequel. Other movies are also in the making. This
is one of the greatest scandals in US History. Nobody has ever said it
better than Dr. James Bowen who told the FDA years ago that aspartame is
mass poisoning of the American public and more than 70+ countries of the
world. You can read his letter to the FDA on labeling on www.dorway.com
Searle was afraid they couldn't get it around the world if anyone knew about
the FDA wanting them indicted for fraud. So they got it approved in England
by making a business deal with a Professor Paul Turner in the regulatory
agency there. Parliament had a big blow out but did not rescind the order.
The story was in the Guardian. Then Searle was able to rubberstamp it
around the world. Letters have been written to ANZFA for years, especially
by Dr. H. J. Roberts and they just disregard them.
Like our FDA today they are nothing more than the handmaiden of the
pharmaceutical industry. No matter how much evidence you give them they do
nothing.
In Dr. H. J. Roberts first book on aspartame, Aspartame (NutraSweet) Is It
Safe? He quoted his first press release where he stated if something wasn't
done then we would have a global plague on our hands in five or ten years.
It didn't take that long for Dr. Roberts to declare Aspartame Disease to be
a global plague and publish the 1038 page medical text, Aspartame Disease:
An Ignored Epidemic, www.sunsentpress.com
At the World Environmental Conference, Dr. Clarice Gaylord of the EPA said:
"We have an epidemic of MS and lupus and cannot identify the toxin." I
said: "I'm Betty Martini of Mission Possible Intl, and I'm here to lecture
on MS and lupus and identify the toxin as NutraSweet/Aspartame." These
diseases are completely documented in the medical text as well as in
Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills by neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock, M.D.,
and his new book, Health & Nutrition Secrets To Save Your Life,
www.russellblaylockmd.com
Just recently Dr. Blaylock released a press release on the MS and Aspartame
Connection complete with research. Go to www.wnho.net and clic on
aspartame. How serious is it? Basically what he is saying is that a good
deal of the population who have been using aspartame for years have
subclinical MS and if not warned can have full blown disease. And what is
ABC doing - telling the people of Australia, its all a hoax. I realize ABC
in Australia is in no way affiliated with ABC TV here in the States and is
the national, government-funded public broadcaster in Australia. But this
doesn't say very much for truth from Australia ABC.
This is why aspartame is so deadly. It is a molecule composed of three
components, 40% aspartic acid (an excitotoxin), a methyl ester which
immediately becomes methanol (10%), a neurotoxin, and 50% phenylalanine, as
an isolate a neurotoxin that goes directly into the brain, lowering the
seizure threshold and depleting serotonin. Aspartame breaks down to a
witches brew of toxins including diketopiperazine, a brain tumor agent.
James Bowen, M.D. is a victim of aspartame with Lou Gehrigs and has
explained how the destruction works. Aspartic acid, the excitotoxic
component of aspartame does not cross the blood brain barrier but is
secreted into the cerebral spinal fluid by the choroid plexus located in the
ventricles of the brain. There, in the brain's lower area and upper
terminus of the spinal cord is where Lou Gehrigs, Parkinson's Disease and
Multiple Sclerosis damage is most prominent. These critical locations
bathed in the toxin as it removes from the blood. From the third to fourth
ventricle there is a narrow canal called sylvian aqueduct which fills with
this secretion and washes the roof of the hypothalamus. This accounts for
the damage to the hypothalamus.
Dr. Madelon Price, Professor Emeritus of Neurobiology in Psychiatry, and
biochemist who worked with Dr. Olney for 30 years recently mentioned that
although aspartic acid does not cross the blood brain barrier, that many
people have compromised blood brain barriers. She said very important to
her, is that healthy people are at risk because certain areas of the brain,
small organs that abut the ventricles of the brain, lack blood brain
barrier protection. These are the circumventricular organs (CVO) of the
brain. The 3 principle ones are:
(1) the area postrema, located on the floor of the 4th ventricle, which
controls vomiting.
(2) the subfornical organ which hangs from the roof of the juncture of the
1st and 2nd ventricles, which controls thirst and
(3) the median eminence/arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus, located on the
floor of the 3rd ventricle, which controls the flow of many hormones. She
said this is the most important area and the one that got she and Dr. Olney
involved in the aspartame issue in the first place.
The capillaries that run through these organs are fenestrated - they have
areas of thinning in their walls (fenestre = window in French). Most
capillary walls are very tight and aspartate can only cross their walls by
an energy dependent pumping mechanism. But aspartate can freely enter the
CVO through the permeable fenestra in the walls of the CVO capillaries.
Releasing factors which control the release of growth hormone, all the sex
hormones (follicle stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone and prolactin),
thyroid hormone and corticotropin among others are controlled by this area
of the brain.
Dr. Price mentioned the shrunken testes in experimental rats and also said
it is well known that women who ingest a lot of aspartame, stop
menstruating and cannot get pregnant. The baby animals that she and Dr.
Olney injected or fed aspartate grew up to be obese and infertile adults.
That is because this area of the brain was affected.
As to methanol it converts to formaldehyde and formic acid and causes
metabolic acidosis. Dr. H. J. Roberts says the chronic methanol poisoning
affects the dopamine system of the brain and causes the addiction. Methanol
is classified as a narcotic. In the worst case scenario, a body builder and
athlete, Charles Fleming was highly addicted to diet drinks and other
aspartame products. When he died they saw the methanol poisoning and
thought his wife poisoned him. This sweet Sunday School teacher who helped
the homeless was sentenced to 50 years in prison, and is in the movie, Sweet
Misery. Several aspartame experts have looked at the autopsy and written
affidavits that Fleming died of aspartame.
You may have heard about so many athletes dropping dead. The ones we have
investigated were using aspartame. Dr. Bowen explained aspartame and sudden
death in great detail. He says that aspartame and methyl alcohol poisoning
are noted for damaging myocardium and the specialized form of myocardium
called the cardiac conduction system. This kind of damage leads to
susceptibility to arrhythmias. The aspartame and methyl alcohol poisoning
causes immense damage to the mitochondria (life of the cell) and to MtDNA
which perpetrates the mitochondria damage. The myocardium and cardiac
conduction system never get to rest. They are constantly at work pumping
blood, therefore they are very highly concentrated in mitochondria to
accommodate the metabolic needs of this tremendous work load. Therefore,
mitochondria damage is more highly reflected in the heart. Damaged
mitochondria produce increased amounts of free radicals and other abnormal
metabolites that produce arrhythmias. Moreover, the person using NutraSweet
may have a markedly decreased intake of mineral and vitamin co-enzyme
factors which also sensitizes the heart to arrhythmias. It appears with
athletes exercise is the last straw. You have unusual demands on the
cardiorespiratory system.
Dr. Blaylock says that magnesium protects the brain and heart from
excitotoxins. When an athlete runs he depletes magnesium. Its the last
straw. The phenylalanine in aspartame lowers the seizure threshold and
depletes serotonin. Lowered serotonin triggers manic depression, mood
swings, insomnia, suicidal tendencies, paranoia, hallucinations, etc.
Psychiatric and behavioral problems are epidemic. In fact, President Bush
now wants everyone in this country checked for mental illness. Congress has
admitted that US children are poisoned and have given the National
Institutes of Health 2.7 billion to find out the culprit. See my letter to
NIH and their letter also on www.wnho.net click on aspartame. This is the
site of the World Natural Health Organization.
Dr. Roberts in Aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic says: "Increased
brain phenylalanine can elevate norepinephrine levels becoming clinically
manifest as hypertension. A comparable phenomenon has been demonstrated in
spontaneously hypertensive rats. Another plausible mechanism involves
increased phenylalanine metabolites, especially dopamine, in the presence of
excess insulin. Tourian (l985) demonstrated that insulin potentiates the
synthesis of phenylalanine hydroxylase in tissue cultures.
He also says: "The documentation of essential hypertension in an
insulin-resistant state associated with hyperinsulinemia (Ferrannini l987)
but independent of obesity, is germane because many aspartame reactors have
reactive hypoglycemia. Furthermore, phenylalanine increases insulin
release. In the face of continued hyperinsulinemia, the down regulation of
insulin receptors (and ensuing decreased insulin actin) the increased
reabsorption of sodium and sympathetic stimulation can exaggerate
hypertension."
Dr. Roberts in the l980's was selected as the best doctor in the United
States by a medical organization. He is Board Certified and Recertified in
Internal Medicine, a diabetic specialist. He says that aspartame can
precipitate diabetes, stimulates and aggravates diabetic retinopathy and
neuropathy, can cause diabetics to go into convulsions and even interacts
with insulin.
What aspartame has done to the family is a crime. If someone does get
pregnant Dr. Bowen points out that aspartame is an abortifacient and also a
teratogen (causes birth defects). And if a live child is born he says
aspartame may have heinously damaged DNA for generations to come. DNA
damage was proven on the Trocho Study in l998, and also showed that the
formaldehyde accumulates in the cells with most toxicity in the liver but
substantial amounts in the kidneys, adipose tissue (reason for obesity -
fat cells), retina and brain. Aspartame also ruins female response and
trigger male sexual dysfunction.
Dr. John Olney told the Board of Inquiry of the FDA concerning children, and
they agreed with him, "I conclude that despite Searle's persistent tendency
to AVOID PERFORMING EXPERIMENTS OF APPROPRIATE DESIGN to clarify the safety
of the aspartate moiety of aspartame under "use" conditions, the few items
of relevant evidence they have generated since l974 serve to reinforce my
position that aspartame, together with glutamate, does pose significant
risk of destroying neurons in childrens' brains and exerting adverse
influence on neuroendocrine systems. Certainly the studies performed, thus
far, do not even begin to refute, disprove or rule out the brain damage and
neuroendocrine risks I have defined and documented with extensive evidence,
