QUESTION:I am a future Occupational Therapy student at the Medical College of Georgia. My father was a Chemical Operations Manager at the Nutrasweet plant here in Augusta, Ga for over 10 years and I was raised drinking only diet cokes and sugar free sweet tea. 5 years ago I suffered from acute seizures and after CTs & MRIs I was diagnosed with a brain tumor. It was successfully removed & I returned to school stronger than ever.
In 2008 my father was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease.) It is considered a genetic disease although there is no record of it in any previous generations. The VA does not help us at all. My mother now works from the home and the church helps us out as much as they can if not more. My father's health is in rapid decline and they think that he worked on equipment in the 1970's that came into contact with Agent Orange.
I am researching all possible causes of our situation and I am asking you to send me more information on aspartame diseases. I hope to help my family and our doctors as much as possible.

Dear Lauren,
I'm so sorry you've been through this. Yes, aspartame triggers all
these problems. The molecule breaks down to diketopiperazine, a
brain agent. Also, aspartame is a multipotential carcinogen and
caused all kinds of tumors in original studies.
I almost don't know where to start, and yes aspartame affliction is
common in entire families.
Aspartame is a seizure triggering drug. The phenylalanine in
aspartame at 50% is a neurotoxin and lowers the seizure threshold and
depletes serotonin, triggering psychiatric and behavioral problems and
interacting with drugs and vaccines due to damage to the
hypothalamus. In reality, aspartame is an excitoneurotoxic
carcinogenic drug, genetically engineered. It's also an adjuvant, an
immune stimulator.
Here is how aspartame triggers ALS, Lou Gehrig's
disease: http://www.wnho.net/aspartameandgulfwar.htm
Note the studies that approved aspartame! http://www.mpwhi.com/fda_hid_research_that_damned_aspartame.htm
Below my signature I'm pasting in an aspartame resource guide. You'll see the medical text, Aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic, http://www.sunsentpress.com by Dr. H. J. Roberts. This is 1000 pages of the symptoms and diseases triggered by aspartame. Your husband's physician needs a copy of it. There is no way to practice medicine without it, because physicians don't even know aspartame is not an additive but a drug that will interact with drugs he/she prescribes to aspartame victims. There is also Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills by neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock, M.D., which he will also need. There is listed a movie, Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World, that explains how aspartame got marketed after the FDA Board of Inquiry revoked the petition for approval.
Keep in mind that aspartame is so poisonous it causes polychemical
sensitivity syndrome. You have to go back to scratch, and especially avoid artificial and natural flavors, which is where they hide MSG and
aspartame or the components.
On the list there is a detoxification used to clean the body so supplements can be used. These are explained by Dr. Blaylock in the
paper, "What To Do If You Have Used Aspartame."
I would also subscribe to the Aspartame Information List on
http://www.mpwhi.com where you will get my emails and keep up-to-date. If you want to have your physician call, I'll be happy to explain further. Anyway, I would print out the article on ALS I gave you the URL for above.
I would also report your cases to the FDA on the Medwatch form. Not that they will do anything but this way its on the record. You will also see below a letter on Prop 65 in California. This gives the history of how aspartame got marketed.
