I saw a client just this past week who herself had come off both antidepressants and thyroid medication and had just visited with her doctor who could find nothing wrong with her and had to admit that she was in good shape and that the thyroid problem had been regulated and was no longer a problem. I would very much like to hear from anyone out there who has any facts and figures or interesting personal story to relate involving problems with the thyroid. Meanwhile I do intend to step up my own research until there is enough data to justify concrete conclusions.

After reading your Questions and Answers in your latest newsletter in regard to how you have noticed many women in the US who are being diagnosed with having problems with the thyroid gland, I would like you to know a lot of these problems are caused by the ingredient aspartame, aka Nutrasweet in Diet Soda and other Diet products. I stumbled across this when I was trying to search the Internet for information on why I could not gain any weight. Aspartame may cause people to either gain weight or lose weight, along with other very nasty symptoms such as grand mal seizures, blindness, chronic fatigue syndrome, headaches, joint pain, the list is endless.
The problem here is if an ingredient is approved by the FDA, people think it is safe. If you want to read more about "Nutrapoisen" you can go to the following web sites that I found quite helpful:
- www.dorway.com;
- www.holisticmed.com/aspartame/adverse.txt;
- web2.airmail.net/marystod
Or just do a search for "methanol poisoning". I hope you find this helpful.
Update: Much information is presently circulation and available now on the Internet about synthetic sweeteners and reported effects.. |
