Aspartame, A Possible Death Sentence!

ASPARTAME CASE HISTORY


Two years ago I began breaking out with hives, whelps and Angioedema (itching relentlessly), memory loss, and ringing/buzzing in the ears. I went to the doctor numerous times, but all he did was attribute all my symptoms to food allergies, which I never had before, by the way. I began eliminating certain foods and reducing my intake of Diet Coke, but I never eliminated it completely. My symptoms subsided with the elimination of some foods, but I would have "flare ups" every now and again. I realize now that those "flare ups" occurred when I would drink 2 or more Diet Cokes a day.

Earlier this year, I began having symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. I could barely walk and it was extremely painful to put my feet on the floor. The doctors ran extensive tests on me and said my levels of inflammation were extremely high. They diagnosed me with rheumatoid arthritis. Since I am allergic to sulfa drugs, they wanted me to take a low dose of a chemo drug to treat the symptoms. I refused to take the drug and opted to treat the problem with a life style/diet change. I stopped my intake of Diet Coke, I cut out anything white (rice, potatoes, sugar, bread), and basically, I got back on a sugar-controlled program - but without turning to the diet sweeteners as the solution.

Since eliminating the Diet Coke and adjusting my diet, I have not had any issues with rheumatoid arthritis, hives, or ANY of my past health symptoms. And, I lost weight, which I feel the Diet Cokes were a contributor to my weight gain and inability to lose it.

Someone sent me an article on aspartame poisoning and I decided to research this further, which is how I came upon your website. Since reading about this issue, I am completely eliminating all aspartame and other chemical sweeteners from my diet, and I intend to detox my body.

For several years, my mother has been trying to tell me how bad aspartame is for your body. I wish I had listened to her sooner. After my dead end with my doctors and the bad medical advice they were giving me - chemo drugs??? - I now realize that good health is up to the individual and not their doctor. And have you paid attention to the side-effects of some of the drugs marketed for RA? One of the side effects is cancer!

I am a believer in "healing thyself" and not making the doctors and pharmaceutical companies any richer while they slowly kill me with all their drugs. If people would make these healthier diet and lifestyle changes, they would find themselves much healthier and a lot richer! Thanks so much for your research and for getting the word out. I intend to share this with everyone I know who drinks diet anything sweetened with aspartame.

When I think back to growing up and what we DIDN'T have back then, like the over abundance of fast food places, aspartame and soda machines everywhere, we ate from homegrown gardens, fresh meats, and were all much healthier and skinnier. My parents and grandparents did not nearly have the health issues that we do today. I attribute our rampant obesity, epidemic illnesses, etc. to the fast and convenient lifestyle.

I have healed a diagnosed disease condition that almost put me on chemo drugs that actually cause cancer. All this time, unknown to my doctors who should have known better, I had aspartame poisoning.


Dr. Hull writes:
This is a very dramatic and important case history. It describes an indisputable reaction to aspartame and a perfect example of how the medical community is grossly falling behind the times, specifically concerning the dangerous health effects of aspartame.

Aspartame is a known toxin, and the medical field, above all organizations, should be interested in how/why aspartame creates explicit health reactions that damage human health. Sadly, it's the politics of greed in cases like this - it is too easy to get patients hooked on expensive drugs for their lifetime as an easy solution to their health dilemma. It's a win-win situation for the doctor who has too little time to spend with each patient, and it's a lifetime of annuities for the pharmaceutical stockholders who cash out on the filling of yet another long-term prescription. I never used to be so jaded, but as I read hundreds of emails every day like this one, I continuously lose faith in the apathy and ignorance saturating the medical community concerning aspartame and it's proven health dangers. With the human carnage this known toxin is leaving behind, emails like this one are all too common.

As a responsible consumer, it is not uncommon to take your future health and wellness into your own hands and leave the medications in the ER and critical care units. Modern medicine does not prevent disease nor offer cures anymore. American medicine has fallen as far behind the times as our public education system has. If our leaders, like the medical practitioners and legislators, don't do something about aspartame, modern societies will have a very bleak road ahead.

Author: Dr. Janet Starr Hull has a very diverse background with academic degrees and experience in geology, international geography, environmental science, fitness training and nutrition. She is an OSHA Certified Environmental Hazardous Waste Emergency Response Specialist and Toxicologist, a former firefighter and college professor.  In 1991, Dr. Hull had an unexpected change in career after she was diagnosed with "incurable" Grave's Disease. Through diligent research and her thorough understanding of toxicity, she later discovered her "Grave's Disease" was actually aspartame poisoning. She has since worked to inform consumers about the health dangers of artificial sweeteners. Dr. Hull's experiences have provided pieces to a life-long puzzle - the damaging effects of artificial sweeteners. She combined her various skills to form a unique application to natural medicine. Her work is based upon the interrelationships of all sciences as she personally discovered "
what works in nature, can surely work in man."

CDC: New Respiratory Bug Has Killed 10
Nov 16, 2007
By MIKE STOBBE

ATLANTA (AP) - A mutated version of a common cold virus has caused 10 deaths in the last 18 months, U.S. health officials said Thursday. Adenoviruses usually cause respiratory infections that aren't considered lethal. But a new variant has caused at least 140 illnesses in New York, Oregon, Washington and Texas, according to a report issued Thursday by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

CDC officials don't consider the mutation to be a cause for alarm for most people, and they're not recommending any new precautions for the general public.

"It's an uncommon infection," said Dr. Larry Anderson, a CDC epidemiologist.

The illness made headlines in Texas earlier this year, when a so-called boot camp flu sickened hundreds at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio. The most serious cases were blamed on the emerging virus and one 19-year-old trainee died.


"What really got people's attention is these are healthy young adults landing in the hospital and, in some cases, the ICU," said Dr. John Su, an infectious diseases investigator with the CDC.

There are more than 50 distinct types of adenoviruses tied to human illnesses. They are one cause of the common cold, and also trigger pneumonia and bronchitis. Severe illnesses are more likely in people with weaker immune systems.

Some adenoviruses have also been blamed for gastroenteritis, conjunctivitis and cystitis.

There are no good antiviral medications for adenoviruses. Patients usually are treated with aspirin, liquids and bed rest.

Some people who get infected by the new bug probably would not suffer symptoms, and some may just feel a common cold. Sick people should see a doctor if they suffer a high fever or have trouble breathing, Anderson said.

In the CDC report, the earliest case of the mutated virus was found in an infant girl in New York City, who died last year. The child seemed healthy right after birth, but then became dehydrated and lost appetite. She died 12 days after she was born.

Tests found that she been infected with a form of adenovirus, called Ad14, but with some little differences, Su said.

It's not clear how the changes made it more lethal, said Linda Gooding, an Emory University researcher who specializes in adenoviruses.

Earlier this year, hundreds of trainees at Lackland became ill with respiratory infections. Tests showed a variety of adenoviruses in the trainees, but at least 106 - and probably more - had the mutated form of Ad14, including five who ended up in an intensive care unit

In April, Oregon health officials learned of a cluster of cases at a Portland-area hospital. They ultimately counted 31 cases, including seven who died with severe pneumonia. The next month, Washington state officials reported four hospitalized patients had the same mutated virus. One, who also had AIDS, died.

The Ad14 form of adenovirus was first identified in 1955. In 1969, it was blamed for a rash of illnesses in military recruits stationed in Europe, but it's been detected rarely since then. But it seems to growing more common.

The strain accounted for 6 percent of adenovirus samples collected in 22 medical facilities in 2006, while none was seen the previous two years, according to a study published this month in the medical journal Clinical Infectious Diseases.

The new bug could have implications for the military. Other forms of adenoviruses have been a common cause of illness in recruits. Military officials are bringing back an adenovirus vaccine - administered as a pill - that was given to recruits from 1971 to 1999, CDC officials said.

A Barr Pharmaceuticals vaccine for the military, currently being tested, is expected to be licensed in 2009. Like the old pill, it focuses on adenovirus serotypes 4 and 7, because those bugs have been persistent problems, said Col. Art Brown, an Army physician involved in the product's development.

Some CDC officials said a vaccination against the mutant Ad14 might be needed. Brown said it isn't clear if the mutant Ad14 will be an enduring threat, but the military will monitor illness reports.

"If it persists, then we'd consider if the vaccine needs to be modified further," said Brown, of the U.S. Army Medical Materiel Development Activity.

LENA'S COMMENT: At least they are mentioning the real cause "Poor Immune Function". Solution to preventing it - plenty of sleep, healthy diet, exercise and strong immune system!

FOOD OF THE WEEK
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^

The saying "An apple a day will keep the doctor away." Is not an old wives tale as some would have you believe!
 
When we lived in Southern California every October or November we made a trek up to Oak Glen, spending the day either eat out or pack a picnic, for some apples and simply to enjoy the fall colors and mountain air. Nothing apples picked fresh from the tree! 
 
Why?
 
Apples are known to help keep the immune system healthy. Apples are a marvelous anti-aging food. They stabilize blood sugar, lower blood pressure, control the appetite and keep the cardiovascular system healthy. All contribute to a healthy body!
 
Researchers have found that those who eat more apples tend to have a lower incidence of colds and upper respiratory ailments.  In 2003 it was reported by one study group that those who ate apples could probably avoid asthma.
 
There are numerous types of apples but they vary little in the nutrient content, so eat whichever type you prefer and expect basically the same results!
 
* Apples have no fat, cholesterol or sodium, and a medium-size apple contains only 80 calories.
* A medium-size apple provides five grams of dietary fiber - 20 percent of the recommended daily intake. This is more than oatmeal or most breakfast cereal, which can lower cholesterol as well as keep your intestines healthy and moving as they should!
* Apple sauce, apple juice and apple cider are a tasty way to get your minimum five servings of fruits and vegetables per day for optimum health. Six ounces of apple juice or apple cider or one-half cup (4 ounces) of apple sauce count as one daily fruit serving.
* Apples contain pectin, a water-soluble fiber found to reduce levels of cholesterol by removing it from the blood stream.
* Apples are a good source of potassium, which may help to maintain healthy blood pressure.
* Apples contain complex carbohydrates that give you energy faster than eating something high in sugar.
* Apples contain boron, an essential trace element that helps to harden bones, which may reduce the onset of osteoporosis.
* Apples have been shown to be better than coffee or caffeine to give you that morning boost of energy!
 
Be sure to eat the skin (wash it first) because it contains pectin fiber, a soluble type of fiber, which is a well known anti-cholesterol agent.
 
Around our house we prefer apples raw or baked whole as dessert.
 
To bake:
Core the apple and trim the bottom of the apple.
Place it in an oven safe dish.
Fill the apple core hole with butter and brown sugar, cover dish with foil and bake in a preheated 350F degree oven for about 40 to 55 minutes. If you have more than two apples extend baking time by 5 minutes per apple.
 
Or place butter and brown sugar filled apples in a microwave safe dish and microwave on baked potato setting.
 
Got gall bladder or kidney stones?  Try this to relieve pain and dissolve stones;
1 Organic apple (any type) and 6 Organic beets juiced together and drink an 8 oz. glass every hour until juice gone. For the majority this will work wonders to relieve the pain within the hour?  If you have large stones you might want to juice many more beets and apples (ratio of 6 beets to 1 apple) and drink a glass three times a day for 5 to 7 days... It really works!
 
To prevent those stones from re-occurring balanced minerals in the body and the only way to do that is to supplement an 84 mineral and trace mineral complex?
 
Enjoy your healthy fruit!

Is Your Medication Making You Fat? Most likely, according to the following article!

Can Medicine Make You Fat?
WebMD Feature from "Health"
By Jennifer Acosta Scott


In a word, yes. Here's what to do when the drugs you need also put on the pounds.

When you start putting on weight, you look to the usual suspects: the dusty treadmill or that stash of chocolate in your desk drawer.

But for 30-year-old Chelley Thelen, the culprit sat in her medicine cabinet. In six years, Thelen gained 60 pounds from taking prednisone, a steroid used to treat her arthritis.

Thelen is just one of a growing number of women who can blame their excess pounds on the drugs they're taking for everything from allergies to migraines. The chances of finding yourself on a drug that can lead to weight gain have more than doubled in the last 20 years.

In fact, the number has increased from one in ten to one in four, says George Blackburn, MD, associate director of the Harvard Medical School Division of Nutrition. The problem is so critical that Blackburn teaches a course for physicians on the weight-gain side effects of medications.

?The drugs we're most concerned about are drugs for chronic diseases, like diabetes and psychiatric problems, because you have to be medicated for life,? Blackburn says. But even innocuous-sounding meds like over-the-counter sleep aids can cause snug-jeans syndrome-some by slowing your metabolism, others by altering the hormones in your body that control your appetite.

And the problem isn't just affecting women's waistlines: Some are even choosing not to take drugs critical to their health for weight-control reasons. If you suspect that meds are making you gain weight, check our list below for the most common culprits and expert advice on what to do about it.

Drugs that can pile on pounds

Antihistamines

The fat effect: Allergy drugs containing diphenhydramine (such as Benadryl) have a sedating effect that saps your energy if you take them regularly. You're not as active, so you're burning fewer calories, Blackburn says.


Antidepressants

The fat effect: Some antidepressants affect neurotransmitters in your brain that control appetite and mood, both of which can make you eat more.

What to do: See a psychiatrist instead of a family physician or internist and ask about antidepressants that don't typically cause weight gain, such as Wellbutrin or Zyban.

Birth control pills

The fat effect: Birth control pills may add up to five pounds because the estrogen in them can cause you to retain water.

Sleep aids

The fat effect: You'll find the same culprit, diphenhydramine, in over-the-counter sleep aids, such as Tylenol Simply Sleep, Sominex, or Nytol, or "nighttime" versions of cold and pain medicines, like Sudafed PE Nighttime Cold or Excedrin PM.

Migraine meds

The fat effect: Depakote and Depakene, medicines which are sometimes used to prevent recurring migraines, can make you want to eat more, says Harminder Sikand, clinical director of pharmacy at Scripps Mercy Hospital in San Diego.

Steroids

The fat effect: Prednisone, often used to treat rheumatoid arthritis and chronic inflammation, can make you feel ravenously hungry.

LENA'S COMMENT: Every one of the drugs above depletes the body of many nutrients and the most important ones are minerals as the body cannot manufacture minerals and they are no longer in our foods in the amount necessary to keep us healthy but if you are taking drugs that deplete them as well you are at risk for more than obesity and fat!

Official: Plague Likely Killed Biologist
Nov 9, 2007
By BOB CHRISTIE

PHOENIX (AP) - A wildlife biologist at Grand Canyon National Park likely died from the plague through his exposure to wild animals that can carry the disease, the National Park Service said Friday.

Eric York, 37, was found dead in his home Nov. 2. Following his death, about 30 people who came in contact with him were given antibiotics as a precaution.

While authorities were uncertain about how York became infected, officials said that the biologist was at a greater risk to the sometimes-fatal disease through his exposure to wild rodents and mountain lions.

Park Service officials initially said they suspected the plague or hantavirus, another sometimes-fatal disease endemic to the Southwest, because of York's interests and hobbies.

Health officials in Arizona warned in September that the plague appeared to be on the rise and that more cases were likely after an Apache County woman was infected with the disease.

While Arizona health officials say the disease appears to be on the rise in the state, CDC spokeswoman Lola Russell said plague cases weren't on the rise nationally.

Plague is transmitted primarily by fleas and direct contact with infected animals. When the disease causes pneumonia, it can be transmitted from an infected person to a non-infected person by airborne cough droplets.

Cases are treatable with antibiotics, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that up to 50 percent are fatal if the disease causes pneumonia. The Coconino County Medical Examiner has said York's lungs were filled with fluid and his body showed signs of pneumonia.
