aspartame victims


Dear Randy and Cathy,

I'm delighted to hear you were banned from the aspartame support 
group.  These are people who are sick and disabled, many of which who have 
had  their life destroyed, from aspartame.  They do their best when some 
reporter hasn't done their homework to let them know aspartame is a deadly 
chemical poison.

As far as the Bible is concerned, you admitted you hadn't read it.  I think 
it would be a good idea.  Almighty Jehovah God is a loving and merciful 
God.  He gave his son as a ransom for our  salvation.  However, perhaps you 
should read where it also says to abhor what is wicked  - you know like 
mass poisoning the people.  In this world there are some things that are 
just a plain abomination.  You should read how Jesus treated the 
moneychangers in the temple.  "So, after making a whip of ropes, he drove 
all those with the sheep and cattle out of the temple, and he poured out 
the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables."  John 
2:15   He didn't kindly say  look fellas this isn't a nice thing to do.

All you were doing was annoying victims who are desperately trying to get 
well.  Like in the case I mentioned where the man had a cookie with 
aspartame and almost died, it doesn't take much poison to kill.

You are way out of line.  Journalists have a responsibility to the public 
to research what they write about, especially when the product can 
kill.  Randy you say you're with the aspartame industry, then you have a 
responsibility too because now you know.

If we write in a strong manner its because we have  an FDA who hasn't got 
the courage of a 5 year old child to admit to the public they approved a 
product that is a killer, one that damages the mitochondria of the cell and 
interacts with all drugs according to Dr. Bowen, making all drugs and 
vaccines on the market unsafe;  a deadly chemical  poison that causes so 
many disease and tumors it fills a 1038 page medical text.   It reminds me 
of a scripture in the Bible that says if someone fails to warn, and the 
person dies, his blood God will ask back from your hand.   Abominations are 
not dealt with very kindly, not by Jehovah God or his son.

Dr. P. Maxwell Foshay (1900), Editor of the Cleveland Journal of Medicine said:

"It will thus be seen that medical journalism is in a state of 
chaos...   The greed for advertising patronage  leads the editor  only too 
often to prostitute his pen or his pages to the advertiser, so long as he 
can secure the coveted revenue."

 From Aspartame Disease:  An Ignored Epidemic, by H. J. Roberts, M.D., 
www.sunsentpress.com

Yesterday there were two reviews on the new movie on aspartame, Sweet 
Misery:  A Poisoned World.  I'll include one below.  If you don't get the 
picture of how deadly this stuff is, then are you any better than the 
aspartame industry who knowingly poisons the public>  At least you won't be 
able to bother the victims anymore.

And about your comments, perhaps Becky will no longer be "sharing" a recipe 
that has a known poison in it.  You say for people to make their own 
choice?  I thought I gave you a lesson in reasoning.  You obviously didn't 
learn anything.  If you take two packets and say:  "This one is a safe 
sweetener and this one is a deadly poison" you have given the consumer a 
choice.  I doubt that any will choose to poison themselves.  As long as you 
fail to tell them you don't give them a choice you stumble them into 
thinking its okay to consume the product.  If any victim or activist with 
Mission Possible sees this deadly poison mentioned by any journalist be 
assured they will get the same response as Becky got.

Now read on for the review, and learn about the greatest scandal in US 
History - to quote Dr. James Bowen, "mass poisoning of the consumer public 
and more than 70 countries of the world." Betty

   Forbes (the movie on aspartame getting  constant RAVE reviews )

Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World ­ A CSI Review by Justice Ralph Forbes

Box 88, London AR 72847



Crime Scene #1: Imagine the nightmare if your spouse dies suddenly. The 
autopsy report shows “acute and chronic methanol poisoning.” Where did this 
wood alcohol, which is capable of causing blindness, liver damage and 
death, come from? You are convicted of murder because your lawyer, as are 
most Americans, was totally unaware of a ubiquitous poison slipped into the 
food and drink of unsuspecting men, women and children, a concoction that 
at 86oF, 10 degrees below body temperature, breaks down into metabolites of 
formaldehyde (embalming fluid, a known carcinogen, that interferes with DNA 
replication and causes retinal damage and birth defects); formic acid (ant 
sting venom, used as an activator to strip epoxy and urethane coatings); 
diketopiperazine (DKP, a brain tumor agent) and methyl alcohol.

Misled by hype, thinking it was “healthy” your spouse consumed excessive 
amounts of this allegedly “harmless” substance in the weeks prior to the 
mysterious death. In prison, you at last learn the probable source of the 
poison that killed your mate. You want to prove your innocence by 
presenting the new evidence, literally volumes of documented scientific 
research that solves the mystery of how this stealth substance triggers a 
host of conditions, including death. Your hopes for justice are denied 
because the evidence is suppressed by the same medical examiner believed to 
have revised the evidence in the death of Vince Foster, squelching a murder 
investigation that led to the White House.



Crime Scene #2: Imagine you’re a CSI, a crime scene investigator. The scene 
of the crime is your own body. You find yourself disabled, unable to speak, 
wracked with pain; everything in your world is falling apart. Why? What is 
the cause? You are diagnosed with MS, the dreaded multiple sclerosis. 
Doctors suspect you’ve been poisoned. What can you do to solve the crime? 
What is the poison? Who is the poisoner? What can you do to heal your body?



Crime Scene #3: The United States of America, the font of a poisoned 
planet. The health care system is overwhelmed, sucking up a vampire’s glut 
of the gross national product and the savings of a mysteriously unhealthy 
people. There is an epidemic of strange chronic, anomalous degenerative 
diseases and mystifying deaths. Is there a plot to unleash a weapon of 
terror that strikes one person at a time, a serial killer WMD that hides 
behind a hundred masks to hide its trail of disease terrorism? Is there a 
conspiracy to cover up the fact that it has already harmed or injured 
countless other victims, potentially claiming another 250 million 
casualties, including our troops in Iraq, you, your children and grandchildren?



These cases aren’t fictional whodunits. Crime Scene #1 describes what 
happened to Diane Fleming.*

Cori Bracket is the victim, turned CSI, in Crime Scene #2. She is only one 
of thousands of silent victims of a cruel poison-for-profit scam that 
threatens every American. How can she and you find and arrest this chemical 
culprit that must be considered armed and dangerous?

The case for Crime Scene #3, the poisoned world, has been documented by an 
elite corps of researchers, victims and courageous doctors, who have done 
heroic investigations in the face of opposition by chemical conglomerates, 
politicians in high places and revolving door bureaucrats. More than 6,000 
complaints have been made concerning the effects of this chemical. More 
than thirty independent doctors and scientists have conducted research on 
the adverse effects of chemical concoction or have compiled supporting data 
against its use. These victims and doctors have published a treasure chest 
of resources, thick scientific books and prolific websites; but only a 
relatively small percentage of people know of their important work. If you, 
a reader of The American Free Press, already can identify the name of this 
poison, congratulations, you are in the well informed minority. You also 
know, until now, it has been extremely difficult to wake up the silenced 
majority who are poisoning their brains and bodies.

At last you now have a powerful tool to awaken those who only dream they’re 
awake, because there is something special about Cori Bracket, the heroine 
in our second case study. She is a professional film producer. Cori 
videotaped every step in her relentless investigation to find out what 
happened to her. She produced Sweet Misery, the documentary makes the case 
exposing these crimes. It tells the story so well it can save the health 
and lives of millions. She’s the poisoners’ worst nightmare, and perchance 
your new best friend.

Join Cori in her quest for the truth. You will be riveted for two hours as 
you follow the forensic evidence, hear the testimony of doctors, 
scientists, FDA whistle blowers and victims in a journey covering 7,000 miles.

Your joint investigation with Cori will uncover what can be described as a 
stealth weapon of mass destruction, a chemical chameleon that, like AIDS, 
mutates into a multitude of maladies. This WMD covers it tracks before it 
kills by disguising itself and changing its modus operandi with each new 
victim. It treacherously addictive so it is habitually self administered, 
breaking the clear chain of evidence pointing to its sophisticated pushers. 
It has been linked to a devil’s stockpile of diverse, seemingly unrelated 
symptoms: irreversible brain damage; birth defects, including mental 
retardation. It’s corrosive to blood vessels. It damages the cardiac 
conduction system and causes sudden death from heart attacks, cerebral and 
cardiac thromboses, and fatal blood clots. It causes inflammation of the 
blood vessels, especially autoimmune inflammations. It attacks the 
hypothalamus producing serious and diverse problems including fatal heart 
arrhythmias and sexual dysfunction. This chemical cocktail changes DNA. In 
tests, the third generation of pups born to animals fed this toxin was born 
morbidly obese and sexually dysfunctional.

This mystery substance caused lesions or holes in the brains of lab 
animals. In the laboratory, this chemical cocktail produced tumors of the 
brain, breast, pancreas and uterus; seizures and deaths. Through the 
Freedom of Information Act, the FDA admitted that this toxin hides behind 
at least 92 adverse reactions and side effects. In 1991 the National 
Institutes of Health listed 167 symptoms and reasons to avoid its use, but 
today it is a multi-million dollar business that contributes to the 
genocidal degeneration of the human population.

This genetically engineered compound, chemical name: -L-asparty 
-L-phenylala0nine methyl ester (molecular formula: C14H18N2O5; molecular 
weight: 294.30) is a transparent to white crystalline powder with strong 
sweet taste, reportedly once considered as a biological warfare agent. It 
can also be made into different forms, such as granule, troche, powder or 
liquor. It generally works like classic arsenic poisoning, slowly 
insidiously wreaking havoc and eventually death. However, it sometimes 
strikes suddenly. It causes brain tumors, brain lesions, blindness, 
headaches, mood alterations, skin polyps, insomnia, and depression. It 
erodes intelligence and destroys short-term memory. It’s a chemical 
hyper-sensitization agent that interacts with vaccines and environmental 
chemicals amplifying their toxicity. It is strongly implicated in the 
epidemic of alien diseases, birth defects and deaths afflicting our vets 
and their families, filed away under the Gulf War Syndrome pigeon hole.



The Case of the Magic Rat

In 1967, G.D. Searle, a century old fixture of the medical establishment, a 
company that manufactures everything from prescription drugs to nuclear 
imaging optical equipment commissioned Dr. Harold Waisman, a biochemist at 
the University of Wisconsin, to test this chemical concoction on infant 
monkeys. The results were disastrous - and covered up. Searle was held to 
be the author of  “reports that the FDA believes contain false information” 
and “concealed facts resulting from having drafted Dr. Waisman’s ‘pilot’ 
monkey study so that it would *appear* to be a valid, thorough scientific 
study,” and not a forgery.

In the spring 1971, Neuroscientist Dr. John Olney (whose pioneering work 
with monosodium glutamate was responsible for having it removed from baby 
foods) informed Searle that his studies show that it caused holes in the 
brains of infant mice. One of Searle’s own researchers confirmed Dr. 
Olney’s findings in a similar study. An FDA investigation of the laboratory 
practices of G.D. Searle found Searle’s testing procedures shoddy, full of 
inaccuracies and “manipulated” test data. The investigators reported they 
“had never seen anything as bad as Searle’s testing.” For the first time in 
the FDA’s history they requested a criminal investigation of a manufacturer.

The FDA formally requested the U.S. Attorney’s office to begin grand jury 
proceedings to investigate whether indictments should be filed against 
Searle for knowingly misrepresenting findings and “concealing material 
facts and making false statements” in safety tests.

The Bressler Report, compiled by FDA investigators found that 98 of 196 
animals died during one of Searle’s studies but weren’t autopsied until 
decomposition contaminated the evidence, in some cases over one year after 
death.

An example of the many errors and inconsistencies by Searle is the “magic 
rat,” that was reported alive, then dead, then alive, then dead again. 
Cancerous masses, a uterine polyp, and ovarian neoplasms were found in 
animals but not reported or diagnosed in Searle’s reports. While the grand 
jury probe was underway, Sidley & Austin, the law firm representing Searle, 
began job negotiations with the U.S. Attorney in charge of the 
investigation, Samuel Skinner. Skinner left the U.S. Attorney’s office for 
a job with Searle’s law firm. The case was taken over by U.S. Attorney 
William Conlon, who essentially sat on the case, despite complaints from 
the Justice Department, which was urging that a grand jury be convened to 
prosecute the Searle Company for falsifying test data. Failing to perform 
his duty, Conlon also joined Searle’s law firm.

After the statute of limitations ran out the CEO of Searle used his clout 
and connections to ramrod FDA’s approval for Searle to peddle its product 
as “safe.”

Jacqueline Verrett, a former FDA toxicologist who reviewed data from three 
key studies called the FDA’s final decision to approve this chemical “a 
giant cover-up.” Food Magazine, Vol. 1 No.9, April/June 1990. (England).



Qui Bono?

The Delaney Clause states no substance can be approved that is shown to 
cause cancer. Would it take a sick sociopath or a power mad mattoid to 
violate the law to railroad the legalization of this Class-A carcinogen? 
Could unbridled greed be sufficient motive? Do we need to call on a 
psychological profiler? Or will the record reveal the truth?

What kind of a villain would let loose this chemical plague on our poisoned 
planet by bulldozing over the honest FDA scientists? It would have to be a 
scoundrel of the same ilk that shook hands on the deal to supply Saddam 
Hussein with WMDs, including poison gas and anthrax. It had to be the same 
kind of conscienceless monster that would subject our troops to dangerous 
vaccines, DU, ad nauseam. Who fits that description? Who would have the 
motive, means and opportunity? Who would be powerful enough, and be in the 
right places at the right times? Who would have connections at the nexus of 
a powerful cabal of “the rulers of the darkness of this world… spiritual 
wickedness in high places” to get away with poisoning our planet? Qui Bono? 
Who benefits? The evidence points to Searle’s former CEO as our primary 
RICO suspect: Donald Rumsfield. The case is so strong Don Harkin, publisher 
of the Idaho-Observer and The Artificially Sweetened Times proposed all the 
multi-faceted symptoms of this witches’ brew should be properly identified 
as the Rumsfield Disease. 
<http://www.idaho-observer.com>http://www.idaho-observer.com.



Rumsfield’s Disease

Significant populations of people who consume the poisonous Rumsfield 
cocktail develop a variety of symptomologies. Here is a partial list 
symptoms of Rumsfield Disease compiled by investigators: * abdominal pain; 
* allergic reactions; * atypical facial pain; * asthma; * behavioral 
problems; * blindness; * bloating, edema (fluid retention); * blood sugar 
anomalies (e.g., hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia); * burning urination & 
other urination problems; * chest pains; * chills; * chronic fatigue; * 
confusion; * death; * dementia * depression; * diarrhea; * digestive 
disturbances; * dizziness; * excessive thirst or excessive hunger; * food 
cravings; * hair loss; * headaches; * heart irregularities; * hives 
(urticaria); * hyperactivity; * hypertension (high blood pressure); * 
impotency; * infection susceptibility; * insomnia, or severe drowsiness and 
sleepiness; * irritability; * itching; * joint pain; * loss of hearing or 
severe intolerance of noise; * marked personality changes; * memory lapses; 
* menstrual cramps and other menstrual problems or changes; * migraines; * 
nausea or vomiting; * neuritis; * numbness and shooting pains in the 
extremities; * panic attacks; * paresthesia; * phobias; * rapid heart beat, 
tachycardia; * restless legs; * retinal damage; * seizures and convulsions; 
* seizures; * sexual dysfunction; * slurring of speech; * swallowing pain; 
* tinnitus (ringing in ears); * tremors; * vertigo; * vision problems, 
decreased vision and/or other eye problems such as: blurring, bright 
flashes, bulging eyes, decreased night vision, decreased tears, pain in one 
or both eyes, squiggly lines, trouble with contact lenses, tunnel vision; * 
weakness; * weight gain; etc.

Rumsfield’s cocktail alters brain chemistry in many harmful ways. It 
changes the ratio of amino acids in the blood, blocking or lowering the 
levels of serotonin, tyrosine, dopamine, norepinephrine, and adrenaline. 
Serotonin is a key neurotransmitter which controls moods, sleep patterns, 
appetite, etc. The Rumsfield cocktail, advertised for “dieting,” causes a 
craving for carbohydrates resulting in obesity or occasionally dangerous 
weight loss. The evidence says it can cause or trigger: Aberrant Behaviors; 
Aggression; Anxiety; Brain Chemical Imbalance; Brain Wave Malfunctions 
[shows up in EEGs]; Depression; Hallucinations; Insomnia; Irritability; 
Panic Attacks and Anxiety [PAD] - Manias; Personality Disorders; Phobias; 
Severe Mood Disorders [rages, mood swings]; Sleep Disorders; and Suicidal 
Depressions.

Rumsfield’s Disease, according to the evidence, mimics symptoms, causes or 
worsens the following diseases: * Adrenal Disease; * Alzheimer’s; * 
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS, Lou Gehrig’s Disease); * Arthritis; * 
Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD and ADHD); * Birth defects; * Blindness; * 
Brain cancers and tumors (astrocytoma/glioblastoma]; * Carpal Tunnel; * 
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome; * Depression and other psychological disorders; * 
Diabetes and diabetic complications; * Eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome (EMS, 
debilitating muscle pain, a high count of a type of white blood cell that 
is usually found when a toxin or parasitic infection is present, and a host 
of other horrific symptoms); * Epilepsy; * Epstein-Barr Syndrome; * 
Erythematosis (SLE, a systemic lupus presenting a shrinking or progressive 
reduction of lungs.); * Fibromyalgia; * Grave’s Disease; * Heart Disease; * 
Hypothyroidism; * Kidney Disease; * Liver Disease; * Lung Disease; * Lupus, 
Systemic; * Lyme Disease; * Lymphoma; * Meniere’s Syndrome; * Mercury 
sensitivity (magnifies amalgam filling’s toxicity); * Multiple chemical 
sensitivities (MCS); * Multiple Sclerosis (MS); * Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma; * 
Pancreatitis; * Panic disorder; * Parkinson’s disease; * Peptic ulcers; * 
PMS, severe; Post-Polio Syndrome; * Tinnitus; and a Hannibal Lechter’s menu 
of rare and hard to diagnose disorders.

The lethally addictive Rumsfield Cocktail’s street name is Aspartame aka 
“Artificial Sweetener #951,” alias “NutraSweet” alias “Equal,” alias 
“Nutrfine,” alias “Canderel,” or Phenylalanine. Akin to a snake changing 
its skin, its producers have been through many incarnations from Searle to 
Monsanto to J.W. Childs, Merisant and Ajinomoto, etc. It is now made in 
Communist China by SinoSweet; Jiali; Asia Talent Enterprise and Terio, 
“certified as the largest specialized Food and Feed additive manufacturer 
in China and Asia.”

But not to worry, Terio’s products are exported to the USA, Europe, Korea 
and Japan, and are certified Kosher.

Health experts are concerned over a doped up version of aspartame in which 
3-dimethylbutyl, listed by the EPA as a most hazardous chemical, is added 
to create a potent new synthetic sweetener, composed entirely of known 
toxins, called Neotame. Aspartame’s rivals or reputed partners include 
peddlers of Sucralose alias “Splenda;” Saccharin; Acesulfame-K alias 
“Sunette”; “Sweet & Safe”; “Sweet One” and Cyclamates, etc.

The overwhelming evidence of things unreported by the mass media reveals 
the crime scene of our poisoned planet. Rumsfield’s Diseases are as simple 
as A, B, C & D. Type A is Aspartame; Type B is Biological, for the 
biological weapons he gave to Saddam to gas the Kurds; Type C is Chemical 
for the Chemical weapons Rumsfield has introduced around the world; and 
Type D is DU, Depleted Uranium that is cruelly destroying the lives of our 
troops and innocent women, children and unborn babies. Now that you, the 
conscientious CSI, have found the evidence that tells the tale you must 
introduce the facts to the jury, your friends, your family, and your 
neighbors. The easiest way to present your case, to protect yourself and 
your loved ones, and to help get this terrorist chemical, Aspartame, and 
its sister synthetic sweeteners like saccharin and Splenda off the streets, 
is to order and show Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World, available in both DVD 
or VHS formats for $25.

* The Virginia State Chief Medical Examiner Marcella Fierro claims “no 
evidence links Chuck Fleming’s January 2000 death to the stealth toxin.” 
Respected medical researcher Betty Martini declared, “Dr. Fierro’s 
unprofessional and arbitrary conduct requires a full and open examination 
of the mechanisms of aspartame/methanol toxicity as they relate to the 
death of Charles Fleming. There are literally volumes documenting how 
aspartame triggers methanol poisoning. It is obvious, by refusing to look 
at the evidence, Dr. Fierro doesn’t want it on the record. The question is, 
‘Why?’” Fierro once authorized a revised autopsy report in the death of 
Vince Foster in 1993. Foster was President Clinton’s Chief of Counsel. 
Fierro’s alteration allowed Foster’s apparent murder to appear as a 
suicide. Had the original entry location stood, the suicide conclusion 
would have been hard to explain since few suicides shoot themselves in the 
back of the head.
