A female athlete had run from five to 13 miles daily for eight years without incident. Concerned about her weight, she began drinking diet sodas. She then experienced difficulty in breathing while on the treadmill. A physician diagnosed asthma. When numerous x-rays and other studies failed to reveal a cause, the issue of "stress" was raised... to her dismay. Other features included severe headache, memory loss, impairment of vision, numbness/tingling in the extremities, a rapid heart rate, and pain in the joints.
This patient happened to see a flyer on the aspartame disease when she went to purchase a 24 pack of diet soda. As she read the convincing details, "I almost began to cry."
This is the end of Dr. Robert's discussion on shortness of breath.
Former FDA Commissioner Herbert L. Lay, Jr., once said: "I am not going to tell you that the FDA has not devised the perfect system for keeping hazardous chemicals out of our foods. You'll simply have to live with it."
For over 30 years, I've warned on the dangers of aspartame. The horror stories would make you weep and been a victim myself. I went to the hospital for one thing and given probably 30 medications a day for which I protested. One powder said sucrose which is sugar so I thought it was safe. I took it and they sent me home where I stopped breathing. It's horrible because you can't get your breath or move to get to a phone. My husband called 911 just in time and they used an oxygen mask. The powder was vanilla flavored. Consider I would seriously doubt the pharmaceutical industry would use expensive pure vanilla. They use vanillin which is genetically engineered with aspartame. Then the FDA allows Advantame on the market which is a half a molecule of aspartame with a half a molecule of vanillin which studies have shown interaction. Once a victim has used aspartame, they usually are chemically hypersensitive for life. Many carry epi-pens as they may go into anaphylactic shock.
It is difficult to get victims off because of the addiction. Methanol is classified as a narcotic. It causes chronic methanol poisoning which affects the dopamine system of the brain and causes the addiction.
As Dr. Roberts says in his medical text, the transformation of phenylalanine to dopamine and dopamine metabolites is highly relevant. Addictive drugs flood synapses with dopamine, which carries a "pleasure message" from one nerve cell to another in the "reward pathway"...thereby creating a "high". For instance, cocaine blocks the reuptake of dopamine, and acts as an indirect dopamine agonist. Such repeated rushes can result in desensitization of the brain to dopamine, and perhaps a reduction of dopamine receptors.
A study was done showing aspartame depletes brain neurotransmitters up to74%. I wrote an article about it published in the National Health Federation.

I think they should be highly supported since they get out the facts and are international.
Aspartame is causing all kinds of psychiatric and behavioral problems and even little children are committing suicide. Imagine giving children an asthma drug Singulair with aspartame causing such suffering it hurts to read the emails. Dr. Evelyn Higgins is taking care of patients with drug interactions with aspartame giving them back their life. She writes of a case with Singulair including neuropsychiatric problems. Dr. Ralph Walton, psychiatrist did a study and the reactions were so severe they had to stop it when the administrator had a retinal detachment and lost his vision in one eye: Walton, Ralph G., Robert Hudak, Ruth Green-Waite

How bad can it get? Just read the Trocho Study by Dr. M. Alemany which shows the formaldehyde converted from the free methyl alcohol embalms living tissue and damages DNA. Imagine the formaldehyde seeping into the cells and in the blood stream. Here is that study: http://www.mpwhi.com/ formaldehyde_from_aspartame. pdf Dr. Woodrow Monte
wrote "While Science Sleeps: A Sweetener Kills" and says the formaldehyde turns the tissues to plastic.
Aspartame destroys the immune system. In the Journal Of The Diabetic Association Of India 1995 : Vol. 35, No. 4. Emerging Facts About Aspartame by Dr. J. Barua, she said:
"Persons with chronic immune system disorders are often very sensitive to low level chemical exposure including formaldehyde. As stated by the National Resource Council (1981, pg177): "In some persons not previously sensitized, repeated exposure to formaldehyde may result in the development of hypersensitivity." Fujimaki (1992) & Vojdani (1992) have shown immune system alteration from exposure to formaldehyde.
"Dr. Sherry Rogers, an expert in environmental exposure and chemical sensitivity discusses how aldehydes, especially formaldehyde can cause significant damage in the body (Rogers 1990). She lists the following symptoms found for persons exposed to urea foam formaldehyde insulation (UFFI) at levels of formaldehyde as low as 0.12 ppm: Depression, dizzy or spacey, poor memory, burning eyes or throat, fatigue, flushing of face, inability to concentrate, laryngitis, cant think straight, chronic cough, asthma, "like thinking in a fog", arthritis feel unreal, rashes, headache, heart palpitations, and much more...... Dr. Rogers cites Main (1983) where adverse health effects to formaldehyde exposure were found at levels between 0.12-1.6 ppm."
Dr. H. J. Roberts writes in his medical text that the extent to which a hyperimmune population has evolved is pertinent and disturbing.
