Aspartame Interacts With
ALL Drugs Vaccines And Toxins
FDA Put On Notice
From Dr. Betty Martini, D.Hum.
Bettym19@(snip)
2-23-5

Who knows more about the toxicity of aspartame than the FDA. Their
toxicologists, Doctors Adrian Gross and Jacqueline Verrett strenuously
objected to aspartame approval for 16 years. It wasn't just that
aspartame is not safe and in original studies triggered brain tumors,
seizures and all sorts of other tumors, it was that the manufacturer
filtered out what they didn't want FDA to see.
 
(January 10, l977 in a 33 page letter, FDA Chief Counsel Richard
Merrill recommended to U.S. Attorney Sam Skinner that a grand jury
investigate Searle for "apparent violations of the Federal Food, Drug
and Cosmetic Act, 21 U.S.C.331(e), Act 18 USC 1001, for "their willful
and knowing failure to make reports to the Food and Drug
Administration required by the Act 21, U.S.C. 355 (i) and for
concealing material facts and making false statements in reports of
animal studies conducted to establish the safety of (aspartame)," The
FDA called special attention to studies investigating the effect of
NutraSweet on monkeys and hamsters. ) Both U.S. Prosecutors hired on
with the defense team and the statute of limitations expired. Still
the FDA kept saying loudly no - no - no!
 
FDA's Jerome Bressler wrote the brilliant FDA audit, the Bressler
Report on http://www.dorway.com in regard to Searle's testing. In
speaking with Bressler he told me personally the studies were so bad
the worst 20% was removed by FDA when retyped. He also told this to
Doctors H. J. Roberts and Dr. Russell Blaylock. Dr. Roberts asked his
congressman to get the rest of the report from the FDA who promptly
refused.
 
In the incredible aspartame documentary, Sweet Misery, A Poisoned
World, from the very mouth of Attorney James Turner who assisted the
famed Dr. John Olney in trying to prevent approval came mind boggling
facts! Don Rumsfeld, currently Secretary of Defense, was CEO of Searle
and said he would call in his markers and get aspartame approved. To
Rumsfeld the fact the FDA said "no" meant only he would have to use
politics instead of science to get this neurotoxin approved, knowing
full well it would poison the public, causing in humans the injuries
seen in lab animals, brain tumors and seizures. He was on Reagan's
transition team and the day after Reagan took office Arthur Hull Hayes
was appointed to approve this toxin, since no former FDA Commissioner
had been willing to do so.
 
ASPARTAME WAS APPROVED BY PRESIDENTIAL ORDER
 
President Reagan knew it would take 30 days to get Hayes to FDA so he
wrote an executive order making the outgoing FDA Commissioner
powerless to oppose aspartame. From the congressional record, Senate,
page S5497, May 7, l985:
 
"Two FDA officials have told Common Cause Magazine that Hayes was
determined to push aspartame forward, in part as a signal that the
Reagan administration was ushering in a new regulatory era. One
official privy to some of the deliberations made at Hayes' level says
the "people at the top" were not receptive to important concerns
raised about the quality and validity of some of the key tests
submitted in support of aspartame."
 
"There were real questions" about the reliability and interpretation
of the data "that were glossed over" at the commissioner's level, this
official says, adding that Hayes and his close associates wanted FDA
scientists to concentrate on providing rationales for overturning the
l980 Public Board of Inquiry instead of focusing on the fact that
there were unresolved issues about a number of key tests."
 
John Hoey, M.D. in reviewing Marcia Angell's book, "The Truth About
the Drug Companies: How They Deceive Us and What to Do About It"
(10/7/2004) says:
 
"By Angell's account, the current slide toward the commercialization
and corruption of clinical research coincided with the election of
President Ronald Reagan in l980 and the passage of the Bayh-Dole Act,
a new set of laws that permitted and encouraged universities and small
businesses to patent discoveries from research sponsored by the
National Institutes of Health (NIH). Research paid for by the public
to serve the public instantly became a private and salable, good, one
that is producing drug sales of more than $200 billion a year."
 
Further, Dr. Hoey in discussing research commercialization said: "The
broader effects are felt in the commercialization of universities,
medical faculties, and our profession. In 2000, in a letter written in
response to Angell's Journal editorial, Is Academic Medicine for
Sale?" a reader supplied the answer: No. The current owner is very
happy with it. The increasing intrusion of industry into medical
education and the almost complete domination of continuing medical
education (especially regarding drugs) by the marketing departments of
large pharmaceutical companies are a scandal."
 
When Arthur Hull Hayes got to the FDA a Board of Inquiry was set up
with the finest scientists FDA had. They declared: " ..the Board
concludes that approval of aspartame for use in foods should be
withheld at least until the question concerning its possible oncogenic
potential has been resolved by further experiments. The Board has not
been presented with proof of a reasonable certainty that aspartame is
safe for use as a food additive under its intended conditions of use.
"
 
"ORDER: The foregoing constitutes the Board's findings of fact and
conclusions of law. Therefore, it is ORDERED that: (1) Approval of the
food additive petition for aspartame (FAP 3A2885) be and it is hereby
withdrawn. (2) The stay of the effectiveness of the regulation for
aspartame, 21 CFR 172.804, is hereby vacated and the regulation
revoked."
 
--- This PBOI report on 9/3/80 was signed by Walle J. H. Nauta, M.D.,
Ph.D., Chairman, Peter W. Lampert, M.D., and Vernon R. Young, Ph.D.,
Member
 
Dr. Hayes wouldn't take "no" because he was there to get aspartame
approved. As the Congressional Record continues, Senate, S5497, May 7,
l985: "Hayes decisions to approve aspartame for use in dry foods such
as cereals in l981 and soft drinks in l983 does not square with the
role of the FDA is supposed to play. The FDA is the government agency
that reviews and approves all tests submitted by companies before
allowing food additives on the market. The law requires a manufacturer
- in this case Searle - to prove to the satisfaction of the FDA that
there is a "reasonable certainty" that a food additive is safe. The
government does not have to prove that it is harmful - an important
distinction. If tests are inconclusive, an additive is not suppose to
be approved by the FDA."
 
When Hayes finished his job to get a neurotoxic drug on the market he
hired on with the public relations firm, Burston Marsteller, who
represented NutraSweet, for $1000.00 per day as a consultant. Hayes
refused to talk to the press since. He had no excuse for approving a
toxic drug whose petition was revoked by FDA scientists. Hayes had
full knowledge that its a carcinogen in violation of the Delaney
Amendment which forbid adding carcinogens to food and drugs.
 
WHEN FDA WAS PUSHED OFF ITS PEDESTAL: Imagine an intact FDA which
tried to do its job of protecting the public, having to proclaim that
a horrendous neurotoxic drug is safe. Would could FDA say when asked
if aspartame was safe? Could they say "we approved it but its poison"?
Probably the only thing they could say was "Ask us no questions and we
will tell you no lies." Even today when journalists ask the FDA to
comment on aspartame they say: "No comment. See our web site." The web
site is just lying industry propaganda. Beginning with Reagan and
Hayes the pharmaceutical cartel had the power to get approved the
worst drugs. FDA seemed to care not. Their bulletin, the FDA Consumer
continued to tout the safety of aspartame and letters to victims whose
lives were destroyed said aspartame was the most tested additive in
history. Even letters to congressmen lied and lied.
 
Dr. John Olney knew what aspartame would do to the brains of our
children. and discussed it in his report to the Board of Inquiry. In
l999 Parents Magazine asked "What's Happening to our Children",
announcing that families all over America were experiencing so much
depression it was estimated that 1 out of 4 had contemplated suicide.
The 50% phenylalanine in aspartame lowers the seizure threshold and
depletes serotonin,and can trigger bipolar or manic depression, mood
swings, paranoia, hallucination and suicidal tendencies. So our
children are medicated instead of educated. Seventy per cent of
consumers use aspartame and 40% of the children. Dr. Olney's prophecy
is fulfilled.

Three congressional hearings were held by Senator Howard Metzenbaum
who wrote a bill to have independent studies done on the problems from
aspartame, effect on the fetus, behavioral problems in children,
seizures and drug interactions. The producers saw to it that the bill
never got out of committee. The last of the heros of FDA toxicologists
Adrian Gross and Jacqueline Verrett testified to no avail. Dr. Adrian
Gross said without a shadow of a doubt aspartame causes brain tumors
and brain cancer, and violates the Delaney Amendment. His last words
were : "And if the FDA violates its own laws who is left to protect
the public?"
 
We are now taking case histories on brain tumors and seizures starting
in New York and New Jersey. Dr. Verrett said: "All studies were built
on a foundation of sand and should be thrown out." Today's FDA is the
handmaiden of the pharmaceutical/chemical cartel. The revolving door
is so busy they need a bridge for the traffic. I told all this to
Acting Commissioner Dr. Michael Friedman. He defended Monsanto on 60
Minutes when Dr. Olney made world news about the aspartame brain tumor
association. Then Friedman hired as Vice President of Searle for big
bucks - crime pays well.
 
In l986 the Community Nutrition Institute in Washington, D.C.
petitioned FDA to ban aspartame because so many were having seizures
and going blind from the free methyl alcohol in the drug. Aspartame is
sold as an additive but it's a neurotoxic drug. FDA law requires an
additive be inert or non-reactive. The medical text on aspartame
disease lists countless diseases and symptoms and drug interactions by
the toxin.
 
ASPARTAME DISEASE RAGES, INTERACTS WITH ALL DRUGS, VACCINES AND
TOXINS.
 
When aspartame was news, Dr. H. J. Roberts in a press conference
foretold that in 5 or 10 years we would have a global plague. And it
was Dr. Roberts who declared Aspartame Disease to be a global plague
and published the medical text in 2001, Aspartame Disease: An Ignored
Epidemic, www.sunsentpress.com or 1 800 827 7991.
His chapter on drug interaction goes into Coumadin, Dilantin,
antidepressants and other psychotropic agents, Inderal, Aldomet,
hormones and insulin. He says aspartame interacts with all cardiac
medication and even discusses drug reactions after the cessation of
aspartame.
 
In his general considerations he discusses that aspartame may either
reduce or potentiate drug action by various mechanisms. He lists a few
of the possibilities.
 
* Alteration of the blood proteins to which drugs attach.
* Alteration of drug receptors on cell membranes.
* Changes in the sites at which impulses are transmitted along nerves
and to muscle.
* Metabolic abnormalities in the elderly that are known to enhance
their vulnerability to drug reactions (Weber l986). This problem
increases in the case of persons taking multiple drugs
("polypharmacy") prescribed by several physicians.
* Interference with drug action by amino acids and protein. An example
is the erratic therapeutic effects when patients with parkinsonism who
were controlled on levodopa began to use aspartame products. The
antagonism of levodopa by dietary protein presumably reflects impaired
transport from serum across the blood brain barrier by neutral amino
acids (Pincus l986).
 
Dr. Roberts also discusses Lidocaine (Xylocaine) which he says is an
important drug used for local anesthesia and the treatment of
ventricular arrhythmias in intensive care units. Alterations of its
pharmacology by aspartame require study. He says: "Kim et al (l987)
reported that the intraperitoneal administration of aspartame
significantly reduced the 50% convulsion dose of lidocaine. They
indicated that PKU patients and asymptomatic PKU heterozygotes may be
more sensitive to the toxic effects of this and related local
anesthetics."
 
Today Dr. Roberts explained: "An interaction should be suspect with
virtually every drug if the patient is using aspartame."
 
This goes along with conversations with Dr. James Bowen who says
because aspartame damages the mitocondria of the cell it will interact
with all drugs and as a chemical hypersensitization agent will
interact with vaccines, unsafe sweeteners like Splenda or sucralose (
chlorinated hydrocarbon) and toxins.
 
Dr. Bowen wrote about the biochemical interactions between aspartame
and other poisons including many pharmaceuticals illustrated in Dr.
Roberts medical text and said Dr. Mercola's web site has them as well.
Further he wrote: "Because aspartame in the processes of digestion and
metabolism, forms about ten other known severe poisonings, and
intermediate metabolites, it's potential for drug related interactions
is immeasurable. To top that off, the aspartame molecule is so
heinously poisonous in different ways that it never passed a single
FDA standard toxicity test! So Donald Rumsfeld, CEO of aspartame
manufacturer Searle employed political power to get it approved, after
the FDA for 16 years refused to allow it on the market because of
aspartame toxicity. Then Reagan took direct executive measures to
paralyze FDA from further action against aspartame.
 
Our FDA has never been the same since. Deadly chemicals now being
blessed by FDA are marketed as wholesome pharmaceuticals, are just the
tip of the iceberg, and result of Rumsfeld's damage to FDA. If any
concern whatsoever for human welfare still existed, aspartame would be
immediately pulled from the market! The reasonable FDA lawful standard
is that a chemical must pass all toxicity tests at one hundred times
the "maximum human dose," in order to pass as a food additive. What
the original tests showed is that at a dose of three cans of pop per
day, scaled to the weight of the animal, aspartame releases DKP, a
recognized virulent brain carcinogen. No other chemical causes the
brain cancer rate to jump as much."
 
Dr. Bowen continues, "Aspartame is a known destroyer of DNA. The
mitocondrial DNA (MtDNA) is especially damaged, yielding the present
epidemic of diseases aspartame consuming mothers pass on to all future
generations. Aspartame also directly damages the mitochondria, thus
having a "double whammy" effect on mitochondrial function! The
summation of these many known severe toxicities and its immune,
genetic, mitochondrial, and metabolic damages, make clear that
aspartame will not only cause many diseases, which the FDA and CDC
have already noted but it has pathways of approach to interact
adversely with every conceivable pharmaceutical. My forth coming book:
"Sweet Mystery in The Present Darkness: Whatever Happened to We
Scientists Who First Spoke Out Against Aspartame?" will delve into all
of this in greater detail and more specificity."
 
The Citizens Clearinghouse for Hazardous Waste wrote in the spring of
l996 the article: "The Rising Rates of Health Problems - Is There A
Toxic Connection? Stephen Lester.
It might as well have been written about aspartame because the
diseases it lists are all ones that have been written about as
triggered by aspartame, from birth defects to chemical sensitives.
Under the title Cancer Lester says:
 
"When has gone wrong with our way of thinking when it is considered
"normal" that 1 in 3 people get cancer? IT IS NOT NORMAL.. Cancer is
not a natural disease and even if it were, it wouldn't be "normal" for
cancer to claim the lives of 25% of the population. " Again, one can
only think of aspartame when in original studies it triggered brain,
mammary, uterine, ovarian, testicular, thyroid and pancreatic tumors
and violated the Delaney Amendment. The Pharmaceutical and Chemical
cartel know aspartame violates the law, so one would ask is that why
the Delaney Amendment was repealed? When a law for the safety of the
public gets in their way of marking poison they simply do away with
the law.
 
In June it will be 3 years since I petitioned the FDA to ban aspartame
because I have the FDA records and they lie to the public. The law
states they have 180 days to answer. Their letter to me states they
have more important things to do. So the FDA continues to recall drugs
that interact and leave the poison aspartame on the market. Aspartame
triggers an irregular heart rhythm and interacts with all cardiac Rx.
It damages the cardiac conduction system and causes sudden death. With
people dropping dead so fast that defibrillators are now sold over the
counter, they took the opportunity to pull ephedra (Chinese MaHaung
)off the market when an athlete died who was using Diet coke. Dr. John
Olney reviewed the FDA records on ephedra and found it to be safe. One
attorney said, "it wasn't Chinese Mahaung at all, but the drug that
caused some problems." So what does the FDA do, leave the drug on the
market causing the problems and snatches a safe supplement in their
continuing loyalty to the pharmaceutical cartel.
 
MSG has an additive and synergistic effect with aspartame. Is that why
the glutamate industry used aspartame as their placebo, so they could
show that one excitotoxin does not react more than the placebo when,
in fact, the aspartic acid in aspartame is also an excitotoxin. They
started doing this before aspartame was approved, so it was well known
in the industry that aspartame would react. The records found in the
FDA files by Jack Samuels (www.truthinlabeling.org) who filed suit
against the FDA on labeling of MSG, showed the FDA had known all along
and the industry had been doing this for 25 years against the law.
While the FDA had to admit it was wrong they did nothing, again giving
their loyalty the glutamate industry.
 
One can only remember the words of Dr. James Bowen to the FDA over 18
years ago: "Aspartame is mass poisoning of the American public and
over 70+ countries of the world". What does it take to save the people
from this poison when government lies?
 
Dr. John Hoey, writing about the book The Truth About the Drug
Companies says according to Angell, Pharmaceutical Research and
Manufacturers of America, the pharmaceutical industry's U.S. trade
association has "the largest lobby in Washington," which in 2002
employed 675 lobbyists (including 26 former members of Congress) at a
cost of more than $91 million. The result has been above-average
growth in corporate profits during both Republican and Democratic
administrations.
 
The most recent and perplexing lobbying effort caused Congress
explicitly to prohibit Medicare from using its huge purchasing power
to get lower prices for drugs, thus opening up a dollar pipeline, in
the form of higher drug prices, directly from taxpayers to corporate
coffers. These changes, along with the cave-in by the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) in l997 that permitted direct-to-consumer
advertising to bypass mention in their ads of all but the most serious
side effects, have further augmented profits. The overall effect has
been a corruption not only of science but also of the dissemination of
Science." No wonder new books keep being published like Dr. Carolyn
Dean's "Death of Medicine".
