>>Open Letter to Dr. Jane Henney, FDA Commissioner:
>>
>>Dear Dr. Henney: As Founder of Mission Possible International and on
>>behalf of the Mission Possible operations in the United State and other
>
>>countries, I ask that you deny for approval, Neotame. We are a
>worldwide
>>volunteer force warning the consumer public in 100 countries of the
>world
>>off the deadly toxin, aspartame, marketed as NutraSweet, Equal,
>Spoonful,
>>etc. Neotame is nothing more than a more potent aspartame, and H. J.
>>Roberts, M.D., has declared Aspartame Disease to be a world epidemic
>and is
>>in the process of publishing a medical text on the world plague. His
>>material was distributed at the First International Conference on
>Emerging
>>Diseases in Atlanta to doctors and scientists in 91 countries of the
>world.
>>
>>Monsanto Communications Director Nancy Nevin said of neotame:
>>"Compositionally it begins with ASPARTAME, but a simple enhancement to
>the
>>dipeptide base of aspartame uniquely and marketedly changes its
>sweetness.
>>It is 40 times sweeter than ASPARTAME,"
>>
>>The formulation has been investigated by many physicians. Dr. Roberts
>said
>>on 3/3/98 to Dockets Management of the Neotame petition: "The timing
>and
>>self-serving corporate interests of this petition
>>are suggested by the fact that the patent on aspartame expired several
>>years ago." He also said "The fundamental issue is that Neotame, a
>>synthetic variation of aspartame, requires extensive evaluation before
>the
>>FDA should accept a superficial opinion about its purported safety
>based
>>largely on limited short-term data involving potentially flawed
>protocols
>>that were almost totally funded by corporate contracts."
>>
>>The world's health is hostage to the covert, devious cynical sellout of
>
>>public interests to corporate gold. On another issue, Phil Angell,
>>Monsanto's director of corporate communications, told the New York
>Times:
>>"Monsanto should not have to vouchsafe the safety of biotech food. Our
>>interest is in selling as much of it as possible. Assuring its safety
>is
>>the FDA's job."
>>
>>So who would take the blame for Neotame approval? You would, Dr.
>Henney!!
>>You are an oncologist and according to the FDA's own audit on
>aspartame,
>>the Bressler Report, on www.dorway.com, aspartame triggered brain
>tumors,
>>mammary tumors, pancreatic tumors, ovarian tumors, pituitary adenomas,
>>uterine tumors, etc. A senior FDA toxicologist, the late Dr. Adrian
>Gross,
>>who tried to prevent the approval of aspartame, told Congress that it
>>violated the Delaney Amendment because it triggered brain tumors, and
>that
>>"If the FDA violates its own laws who is left to protect the public?"
>>(Congressional Record SID835:131 - 8/1/85). Expect a new report soon on
>
>>escalating cancer and aspartame!
>>
>>Famed researcher, Dr. John Olney made world news in l996 on the
>>aspartame/brain tumor issue as unwarned consumers suffer the same
>>consequences of the rats in the original studies that approved this
>toxin.
>>Yet, Dr. Friedman of the FDA went to the defense of Monsanto on 60
>Minutes,
>>and this is after the FDA themselves keep aspartame off the market 16
>years
>>because aspartame triggered brain tumors. And secret trade information
>by
>>the original manufacture on DORway (released to Congress) admits they
>have
>>to consider "complete conversion to DKP", the brain tumor agent. And
>yet,
>>they wanted to market it anyway. Profit was more important than life!!
>>And I weep for every consumer that dies from these brain tumors, so
>many
>>leaving young children to grow up without a parent.
>>
>>Dr. Jeffrey Bada, a peptide chemist, at the University of Califiornia
>at
>>San Diego, warned against heating aspartame and the resultant internal
>>rearrangement of its chemical structure. The FDA themselves said for
>years
>>you could not heat aspartame and then in l993 turned right around and
>>approved it for baking. Then in l996 Dr. David Kessler gave blanket
>>approval for this deadly drug that interacts with other drugs including
>
>>monoamine oxidase inhibitors, alpha-methyldopa and
>L-dihydroxphenylalanine.
>> Complete irresponsibility! Even in the secret trade information
>Herbert
>>Helling said "I think that it's vital to point out to the Food and Drug
>
>>people at this meeting that the sweetener is not suitable for all
>>applications for artificial sweeteners and at best would only be
>functional
>>in part of the market"... Yet, Dr. Kessler saw fit for this drug to be
>>used like sugar and even for pregnant women to use without a warning.
>Dr.
>>Louis Elsas (Emory University Pediatric Professor, genetics) testified
>>before congress that aspartame is a neurotoxin and teratogen (triggers
>>birth defects). If the baby even survived, and were PKU, it would be
>>mentally retarded. And neurosurgeon Dr. Russell Blaylock says if the
>baby
>>survives you could even see problems at the age of puberty when more
>>complex parts of the brain are utilized, and that it also is triggering
>
>>ADD. Dr. Roberts in his position paper on pregnancy and aspartame says
>>even a man using aspartame at the time of conception can cause birth
>>defects in his own child. I told Dr. Friedman at the time my own
>daughter
>>got pregnant that the food supply was no longer safe and that aspartame
>is
>>now unlabeled in many things because of this blanket approval. Last
>week
>>my own daughter lost her baby and was told that 50% of first
>pregnancies
>>are now ending in miscarriage. An OB-GYN specialist told me yesterday
>this
>>was not normal. Some women have told me they have lost as many as 7
>babies
>>on aspartame. I call it murder, in the first degree. Monsanto funded a
>>study on birth defects which was disastrous, so they withdrew their
>funding
>>and Dr. Diana Dow-Edwards had to pay it herself. Then neither Monsanto
>or
>>the FDA would accept it. Quite a message to the world - if a researcher
>
>>will not say its safe it will not be accepted. Do you want to inflict
>more
>>of this on the world with neotame.
>>
>>I called Dr. Bada about neotame and asked him to look over the formula.
>He
>>told me they scrambled the formula but yes , it was the same deadly
>>breakdown products! Biochemist Dr. Madelon Price who works with the
>famed
>>Dr. John Olney agrees.
>>
>>The Material Safety Data Sheet on Aspartame (CAS# 22839-47-0 says that
>to
>>work with aspartame one should wear chemical goggles, protective gloves
>to
>>prevent skin exposure, a chemical apron and a NIOS/MSHA approved air
>>purifying dust or mist respirator. And Dr. Henney, this toxin is in
>>children's vitamins and medications. Are you not horrified?! It lists
>the
>>hazardous decomposition products as methanol, formaldehyde and DKP
>(tumor
>>agent), carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, and carbon dioxide. Do you
>
>>understand that we do not want this toxin in our food. Dr. Blaylock in
>a
>>lecture on www.dorway.com explains that the reactions to aspartame are
>not
>>allergic but toxic in nature like arsenic and cyanide!! Do you want to
>>approve more of the same and can you imagine the synergistic effects
>with
>>other excitotoxins like MSG??
>>
>>In l986 the Community Nutrition Institute petitioned the FDA to ban
>>aspartame because people were going blind but the FDA refused. Cases
>>continue to pour in on this issue as aspartame destroys the optic
>nerve.
>>Focus RP Magazine in November wrote an article on aspartame titled:
>"What's
>>Blinding the World?" (http://www.focusnewsletter.org/aspartame.htm)
>Would
>>you dare to approve neotame and increase this problem? The aspartame
>ADI
>>was set for rats, not humans and 26 questions to the FDA have gone
>>unanswered for years (on www.dorway.com)
>>
>>Monsanto is the largest manufacturer of poisons in the world
>responsible
>>for aspartame, agent orange, RBGH and genetic engineering. An article
>>titled Monsanto in Parliament quoted speaker Norman Baker saying
>Monsanto
>>has made itself public enemy No. 1. He says they have bulldozed elected
>
>>Governments across the world and forced its wretched products on to the
>
>>world's population, whether we want them or not. Further Monsanto has
>been
>>condemned by the Advertising Standards Authority, which found it guilty
>of
>>making "wrong ... unproven, misleading and confusing claims". He
>further
>>says it has used the revolving door policy and makes sure that
>personnel
>>from Monsanto and Government agency advisory bodies frequently switch
>>positions. "Marcia Hale, the former adviser to the US President is now
>the
>>director of international government affairs of the Monsanto
>corporation.
>>Michael Kantnor, the former secretary to the US department of commerce
>is
>>now a member of the Monsanto corporation board. Josh King, the former
>>director of production for White House events, is now the director of
>>global communications for the Monsanto corporation. Margaret Miller,
>the
>>former chemical laboratory supervisor for Monsanto, is now the deputy
>>director of the new animal drug evaluation office in the US Union
>documents
>>that have been passed to Monsanto by Dr. Nick Weber of the FDA, and a
>>former Monsanto analyst." Also he says: "It is getting the Food and
>>Drug Administration on board"... The public has to know if you are on
>>board with Monsanto and willing to approve this toxin or there for the
>>protection of the consumer's health against unsafe food and drugs.
>Action
>>speaks louder than words. Dr. James Bowen told the FDA many years ago
>that
>>aspartame was mass poisoning of the American public and more than 70
>>countries of the world. He ought to know as a victim that now suffers
>with
>>Lou Gehrigs Disease. Aspartame destroys the brain, the central nervous
>>system and the optic nerve and ravages every organ in the body. A
>recent
>>study by Trocho, Pardo and co-workers, has demonstrated that following
>>aspartame ingestion, significant amounts of formaldehyde accumulate in
>the
>>tissues. Formaldehyde is known to bind strongly to proteins and nucleic
>
>>acids, forming adducts that are extremely difficult to eliminate
>through
>>normal metabolic pathways. Dr. Blaylock says in this study, they
>>demonstrated that labeled methanol (as formaldehyde) accumulated in
>high
>>concentrations in the liver (50%) and in lower, but substantial,
>>concentrations in the kidney, adipose tissue, brain and retina. within
>the
>>cell, they found large amounts located within the DNA.
>>
>>The largest study on aspartame is being conducted on the consumer
>public
>>and as we tally the results, this may end up being one of the largest
>>epidemics in world history. In May 1992 the official U.S. Air Force
>>Magazine, FLYING SAFETY explained: .."People have suffered aspartame
>>related disorders with doses as small as that carried in a single stick
>of
>>chewing gum. This could mean a pilot who drinks diet sodas is more
>>susceptible to flicker vertigo or to flicker-induced epileptic
>activity.
>>It also means that all pilots are potential victims of sudden memory
>loss,
>>dizziness during instrument flight and gradual loss of vision." (Three
>>American Airline pilots who were heavy users of aspartame died within
>the
>>last year and a half and the FAA says they can't do anything until the
>FDA
>>does!) Indeed, Dr. Roberts said that aspartame laced gum works like
>>nitroglycerin, small molecules, goes through saliva straight to the
>brain.
>>We have sent case histories to FDA where consumers have suffered grand
>mal
>>seizures on a stick of this gum. I'll quote a copy of a letter sent to
>you
>>on 3/14/99 by Chelsea Tallman, 491 Westerly Rd, #102, Bellingham, Wa
>98226,
>>a 24 year old in whom aspartame shattered half of her life.
>>
>>"For the past 12 years I have been plagued by the following symptoms:
>>Severe headaches, digestive problems, asthma, breathing problems,
>chronic
>>fatigue, depression, suicidal tendencies, dizziness, ringing in ears,
>>pressure in ears, loss of equilibrium, numbness in arms and legs,
>shooting
>>pains in legs, blurred vision, floaters, watering eyes, dry eyes,
>>fibromyalgia symptoms, hormonal problems, menstrual irregularities,
>>pre-menopause, confusion, heart palpitations, spasms, nausea,
>personality
>>changes, rashes, Lyme's disease symptoms, sleeping disorders, speech
>>difficulties, swaying and staggering when walking, swollen optic
>nerves,
>>racing heart, change of taste, uncoordinated walk, vertigo, weakness,
>>weight gain in hips and thighs, and loss of 12 normal functioning years
>of
>>my life. The worst part is that I am only 24 years old!"
>>
>>Dr. Henney, she goes on to say that her parents spent thousands of
>their
>>hard earned money to try and find the culprit, and that her illness was
>so
>>much of a part of her life that it was written about in her marriage
>vows.
>>She also said: "After the total elimination of this substance from my
>diet
>>the symptoms listed above have either disappeared, or are greatly
>>diminished. I have, however, accidentally ingested aspartame on 3
>>occasions, within minutes I started suffering all over again. My
>suffering
>>would last anywhere from days to weeks depending on how much aspartame
>I
>>ingested. Most of my original suffering was from CHEWING 1 SINGLE STICK
>OF
>>ASPARTAME FILLED GUM A DAY." Chelsea said you would never want to see
>any
>>of your own family suffer the way hers has. "Imagine having your
>daughter
>>always in such severe pain that it moved her to tears and unneeded
>torture
>>every single day. Imagine always being in fear that you would get a
>phone
>>call telling you your child had killed themselves just to stop the pain
>
>>they endured." Recently an aspartame victim did commit suicide!
>>
>>In Dr. Roberts letter about neotame on March 3, l998 he said: "As a
>>physician and citizen, I am appalled at the thought of American
>consumers
>>being again subjected to an anticipated repeat of the aspartame
>fiasco"..
>>
>>Another senior FDA toxicologist, Dr. Verrett told Congress that the
>studies
>>that approved aspartame were built on a foundation of sand and should
>have
>>been thrown out. These studies that were the target of an indictment
>for
>>fraud that was not carried out when two U.S. Prosecutors went to work
>for
>>the law firm defending the case and let the statute of limitations
>expire,
>>actually approved aspartame. A petition for recall is now being signed
>at:
>

>http://www.e-thepeople.com/petition.cfm?PETID=109862
>
>
>>At Dr. Roberts first press conference he said unless something is done
>>about aspartame we would end up with a world plague, and that we have.
>>This time listen to demand for recall by an outraged consumer public
>that
>>has been screaming about this toxin since it was approved. Dr. Ralph
>>Walton on 60 Minutes said only 90 independent studies are valid on
>>aspartame, and of these 83 showed problems!
>>
>>As aspartame destroys the CNS it is mimicking MS, as it hardens the
>>synovial fluids victims are being misdiagnosed as having fibromyalgia
>and
>>consumers are getting brain tumors and going blind. Babies are being
>>murdered in their mother's womb and young people with their whole life
>>ahead of them are dying of brain tumors. It is escalating Alzheimers
>>according to Dr. Roberts. It precipitates diabetes, Graves Disease,
>>epilepsy, chronic fatigue, Parkinson's and ALS. A pivotal study
>(SC18862)
>>submitted was done on 7 infant monkeys, 5 had grand mal seizures and 1
>>died. The FDA report shows 92 symptoms from coma to death. It triggers
>an
>>irrregular heart rhythm and interacts with drugs. Dr. Henney, don't let
>
>>further disability and death be your legacy. Recall aspartame and
>refuse
>>to approve neotame. More detailed information written to Dockets
