> > In a nutshell, she was being poisoned by the Aspartame in the diet sodas,

> > When she arrived in FL March 22nd, all she had to take was one pill, and
> > that was a pill for poisoning. She is well on her way to 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

> > We have seen patients with systemic lupus become asymptomatic once taken

> > In the case of those diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, (when in reality,

> > During a lecture I said "If you are using ASPARTAME (NutraSweet, Equal,
