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.

How many attendees were at this conference? 5? 50? 50,000? Can you show us
the site for this world conference?

This came about because a post I had written to a group of neurosurgeons
was
picked up by a Nancy Markle.

Gee, a post? That doesn't make you an expert or anything.

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.

Instead, they didn't get better because they stopped taking aspartame.

Today Aspartame Detoxification Centers are in the US, Canada and Brazil.

You mean money relief centers. These centers are good are removing extra
money from the wallets and bank accounts, making them the victims of these
theives.

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.

He founded the field? Show the original papers for the field.

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.

Please show the evidence that aspartate from aspartame actually gets into
the brain and gets to the appropriate receptors.

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.

Please show the evidence that aspartame causes brain tumors when consumed
like it is consumed, beyond a shadow of a doubt.


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.

Vaccines are not toxins. Please show the data that shows it interacts with
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.

The FDA report shows events that happened to people. If we looked at all the
events that happened to people who took aspartame this weekend, we would
have flooding, car crashes, visiting baseball games and heart attacks.

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 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.

True, when give them a bunch of useless evidence not obtained scientifically
that is totally worthless, they are not going to pay attention to it.

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

If this is such a good book, why didn't a real publisher pick it up, not a
vanity press?

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

Another stupid book. You can put as much crap in a book as you want and
repeat it as much as you want, but that doesn't make it true.

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.

It does. It shows the Australia ABC is telling the truth.

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.

Really? Evidence please.

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.

And most prominent in people who don't take aspartame.

Actually, the aspartate is taken up by brain cells called neuroglia as part
of the normal metabolism of the brain.

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.

What damage to the hypothalamus? Documentation please.

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 a

(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.

Aspartame experts are very good scientists, are they?

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.

As these symptoms present in people who take aspartame? If so, show the
studies.

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.

What medical organization? In the 1980's is not very specific. I have seen
this claim before, but couldn't find evidence.

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,
nor do they demonstrate that there is an adequate safety margin for the
use
of aspartame (plus Glu) in childrens' foods. Searle has failed,
therefore,
to establish the safety of their product for use in childrens' foods."

And so the best scientists the FDA had to offer revoked the petition for
aspartame. And if Don Rumsfeld hadn't called in his markers and Reagan
hadn't appointed Hayes to get it approved anyway by over-ruling the FDA
Board, millions would not have perished from the fatal diseases and tumors
triggered by this neurotoxin, and our children wouldn't be poisoned. As
Dr.
Blaylock says in Excitotoxins, even if a child survives his mother using
aspartame during pregnancy, by the time he reaches puberty you will
probably
see behavioral problems. Aspartame reduces IQ, triggers ADD, autism, ADHD
and other horrors.

When studies are not fixed by Industry it's very easy to show how quickly
aspartame poisons. Dr. Baret in the Dominican Republic changed the diet
of
360 children by changing milk for aspartame laced juice, detailed in Dr.
Roberts medical text. All these children immediately demonstrated
inability to concentrate, hyperactivity and such. Knowing that the only
change made was adding aspartame to the diet he removed it. In four days
all the children went back to normal. It doesn't take a rocket scientist
to
prove how deadly aspartame is, which is why the FDA and the manufacturer
has
tried to prevent independent studies. If you read the UPI investigation
on
www.dorway.com you will see that Searle even threatened Dr. Richard
Wurtman
at MIT if he did studies on aspartame and seizures, his research funds
would
be rejected, and they were. ILSE is their front group that supplies
research funds to universities who co-operate. Research is negotiable.
MIT
now gets research funds but Dr. Wurtman no longer speaks out about
aspartame.

Finally in l996 when Dr. Olney made world news on the aspartame and brain
tumor issue, he was on 60 Minutes (also in Australia and stronger). Dr.
Ralph Walton joined him showing research on scientific peer reviewed
studies
and funding. 92% of independent, scientific independent studies showed
the
problems aspartame causes, and if you removed 6 studies the FDA had
something to do with since they now are now the handmaiden of the
pharmaceutical industry, plus one pro-industry summary, 100% of
independent
studies show problems with aspartame. What does say to industry funded
and
controlled studies saying aspartame is safe?



Like FDA toxicologist Jacqueline Verrett told Congress, all studies were
built on a foundation of sand and should be thrown out. I've gone to great
length to provide a good part of the story of aspartame and let you know
that with it on the market, no drug is safe. Aspartame interacts with
just
about every drug used to treat the problems it causes as outlined in the
medical text. I'm the messenger, founder of an unpaid global volunteer
force with operations in 50 states and over 22 countries of the world
educating the public on the deadly affects of aspartame, the information
from world experts. And what does ABC do - try to make out like its all a
hoax, and aspartame is safe as rain. Information is a matter of public
record and cannot be denied.

Are advertising funds more important that the lives of the people of
Australia? Since every bit of information can be checked out, and wasn't,
how come ABC wants to lie to the public? Currently suits have been filed
against 14 large companies for poisoning the public with aspartame such as
Coke, Slimfast, Pepsi, Pfizer, Wrigleys and Atria. I'm also working with
class action attorneys and attorneys call often who are interested in
investigating. Four support groups help the sick and disabled. Aspartame
Detoxification Centers continue to increase. More and more movies are
being
made to get the information to the public. Even in Sweet Misery, Turner
admits that Searle even did studies in Dr. Olney's lab showing brain
damage
and didn't even turn them over to the FDA. They cared not about how many
brain diseases their toxin would poison and how much pain, suffering and
death they would cause. A quarter of a million web sites warn the public
do not use aspartame. www.truthinlabeling.org explains aspartame has a
synergistic and additive effect with MSG. Their records show how the
glutamate industry used aspartame as the placebo for a quarter of a
century
in studies with MSG to make the public believe that MSG reacted no
differently than the placebo, when in fact, both are excitotoxins.
Searle
even used people in poor villages in South America to feed aspartame and
give them brain tumors and seizures, and show that aspartame destroys the
brain and central nervous system. Then they didn't publish the studies.
Some of those people died. The pregnant woman lost her baby. We have the
affidavit from the translator.

Today the aspartame industry provides fake, frauds and front groups to
mislead the public. Dr. Stephen Barrett of quackbusters, one of the most
well known for false and misleading information on web has just been
charged
with racketeering. The public has had enough.

Wrong. The public has had enough of the lies spread by Ms Martini. Aspartame
is a safe product. I have yet to see anyone showt that Dr. Barret's web site
is inaccurate or not backed by science.

Now ABC had a choice. I expected a full apology and the truth to be told
to the Australian people.

Go ahead and tell them the truth: You were wrong and aspartame is safe.

My email sent to you on the 7th September, 2004
was ignored - I informed you in that email that if I did not receive a
full
apology and the truth to be told within 5 days (that is by the 12th
September) after receipt of my email, that this information will be
placed
on the world-wide web. The Australian people will find out either way.
In
the end this letter may get to more people in Australia than ABC does. Be
assured the aspartame industry and their bottomless checkbook (chequebook)
and influence is not worth the life of even one child, much less the mass
poisoning of the world. Enough is enough. All the facts are a matter of
public record, and I would be happy to give you the phone numbers and
emails
of the physicians for verification of the facts.

This is an old claim by the anti-aspartamistas. You can read about it at

This came about because a post I had written to a group of neurosurgeons

Exactly, applying the remedy of P.T. Barnum.

As a Legal Department, I don't have to tell you the power of the

Please show the evidence that aspartate from aspartame actually gets into
the brain and gets to the appropriate receptors.

We know that Dr. Blaylock's credentials are somewhat suspect, as his faculty
appointments that are listed on his webiste are at schools that do not
exist. He runs a nutrictional practice in a strip mall in Mississippi. It is
right next to a lingerie store.

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

can cause brain tumors and brain cancer. The Delaney Amendment forbids
plac
ing anything in food you know will cause cancer.

Please show the evidence that aspartame causes brain tumors when consumed
like it is consumed, beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Actually, they cannot even show it causes tumors in humans at any level of
proof.

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.

Vaccines are not toxins. Please show the data that shows it interacts with
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.

The FDA report shows events that happened to people. If we looked at all
the
events that happened to people who took aspartame this weekend, we would
have flooding, car crashes, visiting baseball games and heart attacks.

The so-called documented symptoms reflect around 1000 total reports. Now,
how many people injest aspartame? Sounds incredibly safe to me.

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 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.

True, when give them a bunch of useless evidence not obtained
scientifically
that is totally worthless, they are not going to pay attention to it.

Sometimes they laugh.

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

If this is such a good book, why didn't a real publisher pick it up, not a
vanity press?

A vanity press is a pres where the author pays to have it published.

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."

Lecture= harangue anyone who was stupid enough to stop and listen.

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

Another stupid book. You can put as much crap in a book as you want and
repeat it as much as you want, but that doesn't make it true.

See above for comment on Blaylock.

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.

It does. It shows the Australia ABC is telling the truth.

That is what scares the anti-aspartamistas the most.

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.

Really? Evidence please.

ALL the metabolites of aspartame are found as metabolites of other foods.

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.

And most prominent in people who don't take aspartame.

Actually, the aspartate is taken up by brain cells called neuroglia as
part
of the normal metabolism of the brain.

Aspartate is a component of Noni juice.

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.

What damage to the hypothalamus? Documentation please.

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 a

(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.

Aspartame experts are very good scientists, are they?

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.

As these symptoms present in people who take aspartame? If so, show the
studies.

Do not hold your breath.

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.

What medical organization? In the 1980's is not very specific. I have seen
this claim before, but couldn't find evidence.

Probably Quacks-R-Us.

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,
nor do they demonstrate that there is an adequate safety margin for the
use
of aspartame (plus Glu) in childrens' foods. Searle has failed,
therefore,
to establish the safety of their product for use in childrens' foods."

And so the best scientists the FDA had to offer revoked the petition for
aspartame. And if Don Rumsfeld hadn't called in his markers and Reagan
hadn't appointed Hayes to get it approved anyway by over-ruling the FDA
Board, millions would not have perished from the fatal diseases and
tumors
triggered by this neurotoxin, and our children wouldn't be poisoned. As
Dr.
Blaylock says in Excitotoxins, even if a child survives his mother using
aspartame during pregnancy, by the time he reaches puberty you will
probably
see behavioral problems. Aspartame reduces IQ, triggers ADD, autism,
ADHD
and other horrors.

When studies are not fixed by Industry it's very easy to show how
quickly
aspartame poisons. Dr. Baret in the Dominican Republic changed the diet
of
360 children by changing milk for aspartame laced juice, detailed in Dr.
Roberts medical text. All these children immediately demonstrated
inability to concentrate, hyperactivity and such. Knowing that the only
change made was adding aspartame to the diet he removed it. In four
days
all the children went back to normal. It doesn't take a rocket
scientist
to
prove how deadly aspartame is, which is why the FDA and the manufacturer
has
tried to prevent independent studies. If you read the UPI investigation
on
www.dorway.com you will see that Searle even threatened Dr. Richard
Wurtman
at MIT if he did studies on aspartame and seizures, his research funds
would
be rejected, and they were. ILSE is their front group that supplies
research funds to universities who co-operate. Research is negotiable.
MIT
now gets research funds but Dr. Wurtman no longer speaks out about
aspartame.

Finally in l996 when Dr. Olney made world news on the aspartame and
brain
tumor issue, he was on 60 Minutes (also in Australia and stronger). Dr.
Ralph Walton joined him showing research on scientific peer reviewed
studies
and funding. 92% of independent, scientific independent studies showed
the
problems aspartame causes, and if you removed 6 studies the FDA had
something to do with since they now are now the handmaiden of the
pharmaceutical industry, plus one pro-industry summary, 100% of
independent
studies show problems with aspartame. What does say to industry funded
and
controlled studies saying aspartame is safe?



Like FDA toxicologist Jacqueline Verrett told Congress, all studies
were
built on a foundation of sand and should be thrown out. I've gone to
great
length to provide a good part of the story of aspartame and let you know
that with it on the market, no drug is safe. Aspartame interacts with
just
about every drug used to treat the problems it causes as outlined in the
medical text. I'm the messenger, founder of an unpaid global volunteer
force with operations in 50 states and over 22 countries of the world
educating the public on the deadly affects of aspartame, the information
from world experts. And what does ABC do - try to make out like its all
a
hoax, and aspartame is safe as rain. Information is a matter of public
record and cannot be denied.

Are advertising funds more important that the lives of the people of
Australia? Since every bit of information can be checked out, and
wasn't,
how come ABC wants to lie to the public? Currently suits have been
filed
against 14 large companies for poisoning the public with aspartame such
as
Coke, Slimfast, Pepsi, Pfizer, Wrigleys and Atria. I'm also working
with
class action attorneys and attorneys call often who are interested in
investigating. Four support groups help the sick and disabled.
Aspartame
Detoxification Centers continue to increase. More and more movies are
being
made to get the information to the public. Even in Sweet Misery, Turner
admits that Searle even did studies in Dr. Olney's lab showing brain
damage
and didn't even turn them over to the FDA. They cared not about how
many
brain diseases their toxin would poison and how much pain, suffering and
death they would cause. A quarter of a million web sites warn the
public
do not use aspartame. www.truthinlabeling.org explains aspartame has
a
synergistic and additive effect with MSG. Their records show how the
glutamate industry used aspartame as the placebo for a quarter of a
century
in studies with MSG to make the public believe that MSG reacted no
differently than the placebo, when in fact, both are excitotoxins.
Searle
even used people in poor villages in South America to feed aspartame and
give them brain tumors and seizures, and show that aspartame destroys
the
brain and central nervous system. Then they didn't publish the studies.
Some of those people died. The pregnant woman lost her baby. We have
the
affidavit from the translator.

Today the aspartame industry provides fake, frauds and front groups to
mislead the public. Dr. Stephen Barrett of quackbusters, one of the
most
well known for false and misleading information on web has just been
charged
with racketeering. The public has had enough.

Wrong. The public has had enough of the lies spread by Ms Martini.
Aspartame
is a safe product. I have yet to see anyone showt that Dr. Barret's web
site
is inaccurate or not backed by science.

They cannot show that.So, they come up with a whacko conspiracy theory to
replace the lack of facts.

Now ABC had a choice. I expected a full apology and the truth to be
told
to the Australian people.

Go ahead and tell them the truth: You were wrong and aspartame is safe.

They sure can whine, can't they?

My email sent to you on the 7th September, 2004
was ignored - I informed you in that email that if I did not receive a
full
apology and the truth to be told within 5 days (that is by the 12th
September) after receipt of my email, that this information will be
placed
on the world-wide web. The Australian people will find out either way.

They wil find that these anti-aspartamistas are utter loons.
