higher learning from a viewer

Read this article because it is very important.

We are not the orgionaters of this message, simply passing it on!



Never eat or drink anything that is diet that has the drugs in it.



Fw: SWEET POISON - if you are
suffering symptoms of illness this
is a "must-read" been around but
worth the reading

SWEET POISON **
A MUST READ *
In October of 2001, my sister started getting very sick. She had
stomach
spasms and she was having a hard time getting around.
Walking was a major chore. It took everything she had just to get out
of
bed; she was in so much pain.
By March 2002, she had undergone several tissue and muscle biopsies and
was on 24 various prescription medications. The doctors could not
determine
what was wrong with her.
She was in so much pain, and so sick.she just knew she was dying. She
put her house, bank accounts, lifeinsurance, etc., in her oldest
daughter's
name, and made sure that her younger children were to be taken care of.
She also wanted her last hooray, so she planned a trip to Florida
(basically in a wheelchair) for Ma rch 22nd.
On March 19 I called her to ask how her most recent tests went, and she
said they didn't find anything on the test, but they believe she had MS.
I recalled an article a friend of mine e-mailed to me and I asked my
sister if she drank diet soda? She told me that she did. As a matter of
fact, she was getting ready to crack one open that moment.
I told her not to open it, and to stop drinking the diet soda!
I e-mailed her the article my friend, a lawyer, had sent.
My sister called me within 32 hours after our phone conversation and
told me she had stopped drinking the diet soda AND she could walk!
The muscle spasms went away. She said she didn't feel 100% but she sure
felt a lot better. She told me she was going to her doctor with this
article
and would call me when she got home.
Well, she called me, and said her doctor was amazed! He is going to
call
all of his MS patients to find out if they consumed artificial sweeteners
of
any kind.
In a nutshell, she was being poisoned by the Aspartame in the diet
soda...and literally dying a slow and miserable death.
When she got to Florida March 22, all she had to take was one pill, and
that was a pill for the Aspartame poisoning! She is well on her way to a
complete recovery.
And she is walking! No wheelchair! This article saved her life.
If it says 'SUGAR FREE' on the label; DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!
I have spent several days lecturing at the WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL
CONFERENCE on "ASPARTAME," marketed as 'NutraSweet,' 'Equal,' and
'Spoonful.'
In the keynote address by the EPA, it was announced that in the United
States in 2001 there is an epidemic of multiple sclerosis and s ystemic
lupus. It was difficult to determine exactly what toxin was causing this
to
be rampant.
I stood up and said that I was there to lecture on exactly that
subject.
I will explain why Aspartame is so dangerous: When the temperature of
this sweetener exceeds 86 degrees F, the wood alcohol in ASPARTAME
converts
to formaldehyde and then to formic acid, which in turn causes metabolic
acidosis.
Formic acid is the poison found in the sting of fire ants. The methanol
toxicity mimics, among other conditions, multiple
sclerosis and systemic lupus. Many people were being diagnosed in
error.
Although multiple sclerosis is not a death sentence, Methanol toxicity
is!
Systemic lupus has become almost as rampant as multiple sclerosis,
especially with Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi drinkers. The victim usually does
not know that the Aspa rtame is the culprit. He or she continues its use;
irritating the lupus to such a degree that it may become a
life-threatening
condition.
We have seen patients with systemic lupus become asymptotic, once taken
off diet sodas.
In cases of those diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, most of the
symptoms disappear. We've seen many cases where vision loss returned and
hearing loss improved markedly.
This also applies to cases of tinnitus and fibromyalgia.
During a lecture, I said, "If you are using ASPARTAME (NutraSweet,
Equal, Spoonful, etc) and you suffer from fibromyalgia symptoms, spasms,
shooting, pains, numbness in your legs, cramps, vertigo, dizziness,
headaches, tinnitus, joint pain, unexplainable depression, anxiety
attacks,
slurred speech, blurred vision, or memory loss you probably have ASPARTAME
poisoning!"
People were jumping up du ring the lecture saying, "I have some of
these
symptoms. Is it reversible?"
Yes! Yes! Yes! STOP drinking diet sodas and be alert for Aspartame on
food labels! Many products are fortified with it! This is a serious
problem.
Dr. Espart (one of my speakers) remarked that so many people seem to be
symptomatic for MS and during his recent visit to a hospice, a nurse
stated
that six of her friends, who were heavy Diet Coke addicts, had all been
diagnosed with MS. This is beyond coincidence!
Diet soda is NOT a diet product! It is a chemically altered, multiple
SODIUM (salt) and ASPARTAME containing product that actually makes you
crave
carbohydrates. It is far more likely to make you GAIN weight! *
*
These products also contain formaldehyde, which stores in the fat
cells,
particularly in the hips and thighs. Formaldehyde is an absolute toxin
andis
used primarily to preserve "tissue specimens." Many products we use every
day contain this chemical but we SHOULD NOT store it IN our body!
Dr. H. J. Roberts stated in his lectures that once free of the "diet
products" and with no significant increase in exercise; his patients lost
an
average of 19 pounds over a trial period.
Aspartame is especially dangerous for diabetics.
We found that some physicians, who believed that they had a patient
with
retinopathy, in fact, had symptoms caused by Aspartame.
The Aspartame drives the bloodsugar out of control. Thus diabetics may
suffer acute memory loss due to the fact that aspartic acid and
phenylalanine are NEUROTOXIC when taken without the other amino acids
necessary for a good balance.
Treating diabetes is all about BALANCE. Especially with diabetics, the
Aspartame passes the blood/brain barrieran d it then deteriorates the
neurons
of the brain; causing various levels of brain damage, seizures,
depression,
manic depression, panic attacks, uncontrollable anger and rage.
Consumption of Aspartame causes these same symptoms in non-diabetics as
well.
Documentation and observation also reveal that thousands of children
diagnosed with ADD and ADHD have had complete turnarounds in their
behavior
when these chemicals have been removed from their diet. So called
"behavior
modification prescription drugs" (Ritalin and others)
are no longer needed. Truth be told, they were never NEEDED in the
first
place!
Most of these children were being "poisoned" on a daily basis with the
very foods that were "better for them than sugar."
It is also suspected that the Aspartame in thousands of pallets of diet
Coke and diet Pepsi consumed by men and women figh ting in the Gulf War,
may
be partially to blame for the well-known Gulf War Syndrome.
Dr. Roberts warns that it can cause birth defects, i.e. mental
retardation, if taken at the time of conception and during early
pregnancy.
Children are especially at risk for neurological disorders and should
NEVER be given artificial sweeteners. There are many different case
histories to relate of children suffering grand mal seizures and other
neurological disturbances talking about a plague of neurological diseases
directly caused by the use of this deadly poison."
Herein lies the problem:
There were Congressional Hearings when Aspartame was included in 100
different products and strong objection was made concerning its use.
Since this initial hearing, there have been two subsequent hearings,
and
still nothing has been done. The drug and chemical lobbies have very deep
pockets.
Sadly, MONSANTO'S patent on Aspartame has EXPIRED!
There are now over 5,000 products on the market that contain this
deadly
chemical and there will be thousands more introduced. Everybody wants a
"piece of the Aspartame pie." I assure you that MONSANTO, the creator of
Aspartame, knows how deadly it is.
And isn't it ironic that MONSANTO funds, among others, the American
Diabetes Association, the American Dietetic Association and the Conference
of the American College of Physicians?
This has been recently exposed in the New York Times.
These [organizations] cannot criticize any additives or convey their
link to MONSANTO because they take money from the food industry and are
required to endorse their products.
Senator Howard Metzenbaum wrote and presented a bill that would requir
e
label warnings on products containing Aspartame, especially regarding
pregnant women, children and infants. The bill would also institute
independent studies on the known dangers and the problems existing in the
general population regarding seizures, changes in brain chemistry,
neurological changes and behavioral symptoms.
The bill was killed.
It is known that the powerful drug and chemical lobbies are responsible
for this, letting loose the hounds of disease and death on an unsuspecting
and uninformed public. Well, you're Informed now! YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO
KNOW!

When listeners, viewers and readers send these goodies to me, I have to share them with you! Some things are just too good to keep to yourself!

Tips for an Exceptional, Superb & Powerful Life
* Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile.
It is the ultimate antidepressant.
* Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. Buy a lock if you have to.
* Buy a Tivo (DVR), tape your late night shows and get more sleep.
* When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement, "My purpose is to __________ today."
* Live with the 3 E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm, Empathy.
* Watch more movies, play more games and read more books than you did last year.
* Make time to exercise, practice meditation, yoga, Tai chi, etc.
* Spend more time with people over the age of 70 and under the age of six (not just people who ACT like they are over 70 or under the age of 6).
* Dream more while you are awake.
* Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants. * Drink green tea and plenty of water. Eat blueberries, wild Alaskan salmon, broccoli, almonds & walnuts.
* Try to make at least three people smile each day.
* Clear your clutter from your house, your car, your desk and let new and flowing energy into your life. ( I wish!)
* Don't waste your precious energy on gossip, energy vampires, issues of the past, negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead, invest your energy in the positive present moment.
* Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class.....but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
* Eat breakfast like a king or queen, lunch like a prince or princess, and dinner like a college kid with a maxed-out charge card (who doesn't have parents paying the bills).
* Smile and laugh more. It will keep the energy vampires away.
* Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
* Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
* Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
* You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
* Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.
* Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
* Go on and burn those "special" scented candles, use the 600 thread count sheets, the good china and wear your fancy lingerie now. Stop waiting for a special occasion. Everyday is special. * No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
* Frame every so-called disaster with these words: "In five years, will this matter?"
* Forgive everyone for everything.
* What other people think of you is none of your business.
* Hug at least one person per day!

higher learning from annie penn robinson

Life always brings new challenges, one of those challenges is death.
During the Xmas season my high school friend's (Michale Coleman aka Crick) wife (Joyce Coleman) passed, and then New Year's Day my sister-in-law (Annie Penn Robinson) made her transition. Two transistions in one week.

I'm just very glad that I listened to my inner intution and called Annie at 2 o'clock in the morning, just to say hi. When I called I was informed she was in the hospital, and probably not be able to speak. I knew then she'd decided to leave this planet earth. I'm also very grateful that I talke to her almost daily before she left, as we all knew her time was short.

The challenge now is to live life like there is no tomorrow. It makes me think about all the projects I want to complete before I leave the planet. It makes me think about how much work I've got left to do before it's my time to check out.
More importantly, it reminds me to keep in contact with people, the old fashioned way,
by telephone.

There's nothing like the sound of the human voice.
It's something you can't experience in an email.
On the phone you can sometimes hear what's going on inside of the person.
You can tell if they're happy, tired, stressed or just need to talk.
I's so glad I followed my first mind (intution) and called Annie Penn, so that I have no regrets.

It's a constant challenge to stop what you're doing when you're in the middle of something, just to call someone. Sometimes it's worth it.
All the other times I called Annie Penn when she was able to talk was truly a blessing. I have no regrets. Even in her death, she taught lessons on living. For that I am grateful. I hope you can be as grateful and conquer the challenge of making a call when you need to, even if it's 2am in the morning.
