ASPARTAME, EQUAL, NUTRASWEET, SPOONFUL and Your Health

January 17, 2011 by drburt

ASPARTAMEAspartame is a known neurotoxin. This product can pass directly on to the fetus in pregnant women with even a small dose. There were cases when people have suffered aspartame related disorders with doses as small as a single portion of chewing gum stick.  Flicker vertigo or flicker-induced epileptic activity is a real possibility for pilots who drink diet sodas. The chances for pilots of having sudden memory loss, dizziness during instrument flight and gradual vision loss are pretty high. Pilots who were frequent consumers of EQUAL and NUTRASWEET have experienced grand mal seizures while operating commercial airplane and have lost their privilege to fly forever. The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has received over 10,000 complaints from consumers about NutraPoison. FDA has done nothing to alert American public about 80 percent of these food additives. People assume that if these products are advertised on TV then they are as safe as mother’s milk. The FDA consistently approves killer additives all the time. Next time I will try post some information about MSG (Monosodium Glutamate).

If you are one of the users of EQUAL and NUTRASWEET and you are experiencing headaches, depression, slurred speech, loss of memory, fibromyalgia types symptoms, loss of sensation in lower legs or shooting pains, loss of equilibrium, vertigo, anxiety attacks, chronic fatigue, vision loss, floaters, retinal  detachment, seizures, heart palpitations, etc you might have ASPARTAME TOXICITY! Some physicians misdiagnose patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) when in reality it is methanol toxicity which mimics MS. You can survive MS but not methanol toxicity. 51% of FDA approved drugs had serious health risks. John Hopkins University research estimates that 80-120,000 American citizens are killed by prescription drugs every year. Here is a link to a great Detoxification Kit by Dr. Hull. (affiliate link)  A Detox Program to cleanse your body of toxins such as heavy metals, food chemicals, toxins from artificial sweeteners, and much more.

Aspartame is a molecule composed of three main components: aspartic acid, phenylalanine and methanol. Once ingested the methanol, wood alcohol that has killed or blinded thousands of skid row drunks, converts into formaldehyde and formic (Ant Sting Poison). Farmaldehyde, is a very serious deadly neurotoxin and class A Carcinogen.  Phenylealanine is also neurotoxic when unaccompanied by the other amino acids in proteins. Aspartic Acid causes brain lesions in neuroendocrine disorders in experimental animals. Overall there are 92 documented symptoms including:

  • Headache
  • Blurred Vision
  • Dizziness
  • Irritability
  • Seizures
  • Tachycardia
  • Nausea
  • Slurred Speech
  • Numbness
  • Heart Palpitations
  • Muscle Spasms
  • Anxiety Attacks
  • Rashes
  • Tinnitus
  • Depression
  • Loss of Taste
  • Fatigue
  • Memory Loss
  • Weight Gain
  • Vertigo
  • Blindness
  • Joint Pain
  • Hearing Loss
  • Insomnia

NutraSweet is found in over 10,000 products. The best way to understand NutraSweet is to think of it as a minute does of nerve gas that eradicates brain and nerve functions. You are probably want to ask this question why would FDA allow this product on the market – the answer is simple – MONEY. Monsanto reaps about $2 billion each year from the Aspartame toxic business. Here is the list of diseases triggered by ASPARTAME:

  • Brain Tumors and Other Cancers
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Epstein Barr
  • Diabetes
  • Birth Defects
  • Multiple Sclerosis
  • Graves Disease
  • Parkinson’s
  • Mental Retardation
  • Systemic Lupus Death
  • Epilepsy
  • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
  • Alzheimer’s
  • Lymphoma

NUTRASWEET, EQUAL, SPOONFUL are the one of the deadliest toxins in our society because of their presence in many thousands foods, even children’s vitamins, medicines, Kool Aid and Jell-O and every restaurant table. Americans are dosed with millions of pounds every year! The following warning MUST BE written on every ASPARTAME, NUTRASWEET, EQUAL, SPOONFUL products: CHEMICAL POISON – KEEP OUT OF REACH OF HUMANS: GENOCIDAL.

High Fructose Corn Syrup and Your Health

December 29, 2010 by drburt

HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUPHigh Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) has been around only for a little bit over 50 years. Before that everyone used a regular sugar for household consumption and food production. What has happened in the last fifty years? Why the consumption of HFCS is growing despite the health risk such a nationwide obesity factor? I will try to cover as much as I can in one post.

HFCS got its name from isomerization of glucose, which is the process when natural glucose in corn syrup is converted to fructose. The percentage of fructose in this new product is much higher and therefore it is sweeter, thus is the name High-Fructose Corn Syrup. This scientific discovery coincides with 1997 new tariffs and sugar quotas and increased consumption by companies like Coca-Cola and Pepsi. The production of HFCS jumped from 3 million tons in 1980 to 8 million tons to 1995.

High Fructose Corn Syrup is genetically altered product. Our body does not react to this product as a natural food item. Our pancreas produces insulin during carbohydrate consumption. However, when a person consumes HFCS our pancreas does not produce insulin. Natural carbohydrate is digested by normal pathways but HFCS goes directly to the liver, where it is treated like a chemical and turned into a fat. Another concern with HFCS is a level of mercury in this product – which is a known neurotoxin.

Recent study from Princeton University provides evidence that HCFS causes more weight gain in experiment on laboratory animals. However, it does not mean that we have to substitute High Fructose Corn Syrup with cane sugar. Too much of both evil will cause the weight gain. The key is the moderation. Consider substituting HFCS with honey and natural gems which can be prepared from any fruit. This will provide necessary nutrients for your body and a healthy dose of sweet carbohydrates. Make sure to read the labels each and every time you go to the store.

Health Benefits of Chiropractic Adjustment

December 22, 2010 by drburt

Chiropractic AdjustmentDemand for Chiropractic care has been increasing. Studies from American Journal of Public Health continue to demonstrate the rising numbers and increase of people utilizing chiropractic care. There has been more than 100% increase of visits to Chiropractors in the past two decades.

Why see your doctor with a variety of symptoms? It is important to stay healthy and chiropractic care will be able to help you to stay healthy and happy.

Your Health, Sponge, Vacuum, Pillow, Meat, Windows and TV

December 17, 2010 by drburt

houseThere is a saying: “Nothing is Like a Home.”  This home could also be a collector of colds and food born illnesses that people contract. Short and long term health outcome depends on the things we do around the house. Below is the list of six activities that might be making you and your children sick.

1. Your Sponge is a Jungle of Microorganisms which are Bad for Your Health

The only place in the house that never gets 100% cleaned up is the kitchen. Cleaning fish, preparing raw meet on our countertops and throwing waste in a sink will cause a breading backyard for all sorts of microorganisms. To name a few: E. Coli, salmonella and variety of viruses and bacteria.

Sponge is the most frequently used tool for cleaning kitchen’s countertop. Sponge can contain E. Coli and Fecal Bacteria and many other microbes. The second dirtiest item in your kitchen is dishrag.

The more frequently one uses the sponge the more one spreads the germs all over the countertop’s surface. One will also contaminate other appliances in the kitchen if the same sponge is applied for cleaning purposes.

How to Solve This Problem: Mixture of a bleach and water is a great solution for sterilizing a sponge. Air-drying will kill most of the germs in a sponge. Using microwave every week or even couple of times a week will keep your sponge germ free as well.

2. Vacuum Cleaning

Many vacuum cleaners do not do a good job at picking up small particles of dust. Most of these tiny dust particles escape through porous vacuum bags. They are the cause of the allergies that people get. A good alternative to a conventional vacuum cleaner would be a Rainbow vacuum cleaner. This unit has water reservoir instead of paper or plastic bag.

Small dust particles contain the highest amount  of heavy metals, lead, pesticides, and other chemicals. The everyday habit of cleaning with a conventional vacuum cleaner results in a burst of particles in the air and then they settle back down over the course of hours.

3. Sleeping With Pillows and a Mattress

Human body sheds about 1.5 million skin cells per hour and perspires one quart every day. These skin cells accumulate in our mattresses and pillows and provide and breeding farm for dust mites to grow and settle. Every ten years the mass of the mattress doubles due to the accumulation of insect parts, dust mites, fibers, lint, dust, chemicals, bacteria, spores, fungal mold, dander, animal hair, bodily secretions, human hair, and dust mites feces. After five years, ten percent of the pillow’s weight is dust mites. This is what we inhaling while sleeping.

Solution: Cover your mattress, box springs, and pillows with impervious outer covers.

Allergy-proof coverings seal the mattress and pillow, preventing anything from getting in or out, which protects you. Wash your sheets weekly in hot water. Make sure the temperature range of the water is between 130 to 150 degrees Fahrenheit

4. Grilling Meat

Reduce barbecuing frequency during nice summer days. BBQ meat creates cancer-causing compunds polycyclic hydrocarbon (PAHs) and heterocyclic amines (HCAs).

Solution: Try to use tin foil when BBQ your meat. This will prevent fat to drip off, and will help to reduce the amount of fat that hits the flames and sticks on your BBQ meat. Microwaving your meat first will help to reduce the amount of fat.

5. Opening Your House Windows

The amount of seasonal allergies and poor air quality in metropolitan areas of the USA will not do you any good. More than 50% of the US population breathes unhealthy air. Also the pollution inside of our home is much worse than outside. Poor indoor air quality is the fourth largest environmental threat in our country.

Solution: Use Air-conditioning system in your house. The filters will eliminate the exposure to bacteria, molds, mildew, tobacco smoke, viruses, animals dander, house dust mites and pollen.

home6. Prolonged Sitting in Front of the TV

Millions turn into couch potatoes in the USA. Watching TV is one of the leading causes of obesity in this country. Obesity and overweight is the leading cause for heart disease, arthritis, and many other health related problems.

Solution: Go for a walk or a bike ride. Hide the remote control so it won’t be tempting to turn the TV on.
