Glutomate and Aspartate

Copyright 1996 Leading Edge Research

Processed human foods contain three primary brain cell toxins: glutamate, aspartate and cysteic acid. They are called excitotoxins because they “excite” neurons due to their chemical similarity to neurotransmitters. Natural variations of glutamate and aspartate are in fact found normally in the spinal chord, and are subject to a very delicate level within the body. Excess levels are immediately removed by counterbalancing mechanisms that transfer excess glutamate back into surrounding glial cells, which surround the neurons and supply them with energy. When the concentration rises above a critical level, they become neural toxins to cells containing receptors for them. Excessive glutamate levels will not only kill the neurons with the receptors for glutamate but will also kill any neurons that happen to be connected to it, even if that neuron uses another type of receptor. This fact is very important relative to the contribution glutamates and aspartates make toward development of both Alzheimer’s syndrome and Parkinson’s disease.

Experimental evidence has shown that within 15-30 minutes after being exposed to excessive levels of glutamate, such as that acquired by eating processed foods, neurons suspended in tissue culture swell up like balloons. The organelles begin to degenerate and the chromatin begins to clump. Within three hours these neurons are dead. However, when lower doses of MSG are used for two hours, and then removed, the cells remained viable for 18 to 24 hours, after which they suddenly died. Apparently, glutamate acts as a trigger that opens the sodium channel on the cell membrane and allows calcium to enter the neuron, triggering an enzyme called phospholipase C within the cell, which then triggers the release of arachidonic acid, damaging the cells interior. The arachidonic acid is attacked by two enzymes called lipoygenase and cyclo-oxygenase, further triggering an explosive release of free radicals (superoxide and hydroxyl radicals) which brings on cell death. The normal concentration of antioxidants in the brain is not enough to handle the excess free radicals produced in this way.

Since humans concentrate ingested glutamate in their plasma in higher concentrations than any other animal, this fact must figure into the equation as to why glutamates have been increasingly added to human processed food, despite scientific evidence presented to Congress, in order to achieve the desired neurological degeneration in line with both Malthusian population reduction mandates, allopathic fund generation and neurological behavior modification programs.

Dear Pamela,

This is a drug for schizophrenia and aspartame triggers schizophrenia. There is 50% phenylalanine in aspartame which lowers the seizure threshold and depletes serotonin. Lowered serotonin triggers psychiatric and behavioral problems including bipolar or

manic depression, suicidal tendencies, schizophrenia, panic attacks, hallucinations, etc., and then interacts with all antidepressants. In fact, aspartame interacts with virtually all drugs and vaccines because of damage to the mitochondria. There is a chapter on it in Dr. Roberts medical text.

When I was in New Zealand lecturing one of the saddest cases I had seen was the case where a man was using Diet Coke and Wrigley's aspartame gum, tried to kill his wife and then hung himself. Likewise, his wife on aspartame products suffered everything from paranoia to vision problems, and put her head in an oven trying to kill herself. Aspartame is an abortifacient and a teratogen and she lost 7 babies on aspartame. The one who survived is schizophrenic. She happened to see an iridologist because she was going blind who had Dr. Roberts medical text, Aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic, www.sunsentpress. com and explained to her that it was aspartame causing her blindness from the free methyl alcohol. The woman is getting well now and she came to see me when I was lecturing at the Wellington medical school. She said, "Betty, I'm 60 years old and I'm just now beginning to live."

Putting aspartame in these drugs is absolutely obscene and criminal so it can kill off the people. How could there be another reason for them to do it? Most of these drugs you swallow and it doesn't require a sweetener. The New World Order wants to eliminate 90% of the population. I live in Duluth, Georgia about an hour from Elberton, Georgia. There they have the Georgia Guidestones. It's 8

different stones in different languages telling you for the earth to sustain itself 90% of the population must be eliminated. Big Pharma is doing it. Aspartame interacts with L-dopa and Parcopa has it in it. Headache is #1 on the FDA list of 92 symptoms and if you go to a physician they can put you Merck's Maxalt and it has aspartame in it. Aspartame triggers seizures and Ketacal to treat seizures has it in it. Aspartame is escalating asthma and Sinulair has aspartame in it and an article admits people on it have suicidal tendencies. One mother reported her 7 year old on it was suicidal.

The FDA is allowing this with full knowledge because they know its poison. They are the ones who tried to have the manufacturer indicted and revoked the petition for approval.

The FDA in this country gets 50% of its funds from Big Pharma and they can't serve two masters. They are allowing Big Pharma to poison the public.

We have currently asked for volunteers to make lists of all products with aspartame in the grocery stories, over-the-counter drugs and prescription drugs. It's time to go holistic if people want to live. You must give up all processed foods and anything genetically engineered. This is not a matter of insinuating Big Pharma is doing this, we can see it in the records. One pharmaceutical

whistleblower told me when I was in the UK: "There are three things that every pharmaceutical company knows: (1) Aspartame is a deadly poison, (2) chemotherapy kills and (3) Tamoxifen does not stop the spread of cancer it causes it." Of course, I already knew that but it was nice to have it confirmed by someone in the pharmaceutical industry.

Just remember the FDA is nothing but Big Pharma's Washington Branch Office and have been responsible for more unsafe food and drugs than any agency on this planet. When those responsible to solve the problem are the problem it is an abomination before God. This is why I tell all people to write their congressman and let them know the FDA's doors should be closed forever. Dr. Jacqueline Verrett, the late FDA toxicologist, wrote a book titled: "Eating Maybe Hazardous To Your Health: The Case Against Food Additives. She said the same thing exposing her own FDA. Here is a quote from the book: "What can be done to restore to consumers their right to safe food regardless of economic and political interests? . . . Probably the best solution, as some members of Congress have suggested, is to abolish the FDA and start over with a completely new agency free of some of the political pressures. . . . When science and the public

interest win out, it is invariably only after the government has been pushed to the wall by consumer advocates and other public pressure."

The late Dr. Jacqueline Verrett and FDA toxicologist Dr. Adrian Gross, were the last brave souls at the FDA who cared about consumer safety. Today they have stooges for Big Pharma who care less how many die. I don't doubt for a minute that aspartame has caused the death of over 200 million people like Dr. Alemany said it would, another brave researcher who did the damning Trocho Study showing aspartame embalms living tissue and damages DNA. That's how you destroy humanity. I sincerely also believe the FDA puppets will one day receive within themselves the recompense for their error in allowing disability and death throughout the world because of their

incompetence and betrayal of the public trust. They are without a backbone or courage.

I think what we will do is go ahead and start putting on web the drugs and products that contain aspartame.

Thanks for alerting me, Pam.

All my best,

Betty

Aspartame / Nutrasweet Detoxification

Aspartame can be found on the ingredients list in the following products:

Soft drinks, over-the-counter drugs & prescription drugs (very common and listed under "inactive ingredients"), vitamin & herb supplements, yogurt, instant breakfasts, candy, breath mints, cereals, sugar-free chewing gum, cocoa mixes, coffee beverages, instant breakfasts, gelatin desserts, frozen desserts, juice beverages, laxatives, milk drinks, shake mixes, tabletop sweeteners, tea beverages, instant teas and coffees, topping mixes, wine coolers, etc. Eliminate or replace prescription drugs that contain aspartame -- the pharmacist can tell you the ingredients of drugs.

Please check labels carefully and compare it against the list of "Sweeteners to Avoid" on page 2 of the Aspartame Poisoning Fact Sheet. Many people make the mistake of not checking labels carefully and continue to poison themselves. (Note: In some countries such as Australia, the word "aspartame" may not appear on the label, but the phrase "Phenylketonurics: Contains Phenylalanine" appears instead. In Europe, aspartame may be listed on the label with an E Number of E951.) Also, some drug and supplement manufacturers are allowed to avoid listing aspartame on the label if they state the words, "contains phenylalanine". In addition, many people do not realize that their children may be given aspartame- or other artificial sweetener-containing foods or drugs at school without their knowledge. Talk to the school director and to the local PTA to assure that this does not happen.

Healthy Sweetener Use Guide

Note: Many diabetics can use some amount of healthy caloric sweeteners such as evaporated cane juice. Check with your healthcare practitioner for more information.

Other Sweeteners (Diabetic-Safe, Low-Carb)

In addition to stevia, there are other natural sweeteners that are used by diabetics and persons eating a low carbohydrate diet. Such sweeteners include:

• • Lo Han Fruit Extract (SlimSweet, SugarNot)

  • Agave Nectar & Syrup

  • Yacon Syrup (Molasses-like taste)

  • Xylitol Gum or Xylitol Gum

  • Just Like Sugar

Stevia may be the best choice for a diabetic-safe, low-carbohydrate sweetener See the Healthier Sweetener Resource List for manufacturers and retailers.

Many people find it much easier to avoid toxic sweeteners by shopping at the local, large health food store when possible. Many health food stores have banned artificial sweeteners (especially aspartame) for obvious reasons. But it is still important to check labels as some health food stores are unknowingly selling aspartame, acesulfame-k, and sucralose!

There are a number of steps individuals can take to detox and recover (to the extent possible) from aspartame poisoning:

Avoid all aspartame as well as all of the "Sweeteners To Avoid" listed above. Remember to check ingredients carefully.

Since aspartame can be very addicting, it is not a good idea to cut out both aspartame and caffeine at the same time. Aspartame is far more toxic and should be eliminated immediately. Be aware that aspartame withdrawal symptoms can last anywhere from a few days to several weeks.

Avoid other excitotoxins in foods including MSG, monosodium glutamate, hydrolyzed proteins, autolyzed yeast, yeast extract, and glutamic acid, aspartic acid, and cysteine supplements (which are often in "free-form" unlike when found in food). Many practitioners recommend taking a magnesium supplement (e.g., magnesium gluconate) to help overcome the excitotoxic damage from aspartame and MSG.

Consider using one or more of the powerful health-building steps detailed in the articles on the Holistic Medicine Web Page on the Internet at:

http://www.holisticmed.com/#docs

This is very important for persons who want to avoid other toxic or potentially toxic products and who want to gradually increase their health and vitality. Start with printing out and reading the articles.

Healthcare practitioners who are often knowledgeable about aspartame poisoning include: Environmental Medicine Doctors, Holistic & Alternative Medicine Physicians and many conventional physicians, Oriental Medicine Doctors, Chiropractors, and Osteopaths.

It is very important to keep a positive outlook. Once you switch to non-poisonous sweeteners, you can be proud that you are no longer ingesting a poison that distributes formaldehyde, an excitotoxin, and DKP throughout the body. You will now be taking good care of yourself!

It can take 60 days without aspartame (and in more severe poisoning cases longer) before symptoms begin to improve.

It is normal for persons to be very angry with the board of director and managers at Monsanto, Ajinomoto, MSD Investing (Dell), Coca Cola, Pepsi Cola, public relations firms, government beaurocrafts and others involved in the approval, manufacture and distribution of poisons (e.g., aspartame) to the general public and deceiving the general public in order to satisfy their greed.

While anger is a normal and healthy initial reaction, it is important to have the goal of forgiving these individuals and companies over time. It is still possible to strongly voice an opinion against the sale of aspartame, avoid products made by companies involved, and share toxicity information with others to warn them, yet forgive the persons involved. Forgiveness will help with healing because it allows the body, mind, and spirit to relax, and thereby promotes and deeper and more permanent healing.
