Viva New Mexico! Aspartame Finally Imperiled! Current rating: 0
05 Oct 2005
The Nation's eyes are on New Mexico. State Statutes on poisonous substances and adulteration can preempt federal. New Mexico set a precedent for the world to follow. Hearing to ban aspartame in July.
Viva New Mexico! Aspartame Finally Imperiled!



New Mexico October 6, 2005:
We, the People, won! On October 4th New Mexico's Environmental Improvement Board (EIB) courageously withstood a determined fight to preempt investigation of a food poison. This is a first for the Nation! Ever since Don Rumsfeld called in his markers to seat an FDA Commissioner who would finally approve aspartame/NutraSweet/Equal, the political clout, cash and cover-ups of the multi-national aspartame industry have suffocated every challenge. http://www.soundandfury.tv/pages.rumsfeld2.html


Ten years ago FDA stopped listing victim complaints when they passed 10,000, and FDA no longer admits there ever was a list. It named 92 symptoms including seizures and death. FDA is now NutraSweet's Washington Branch Office, faithfully promoting aspartame and publishing their propaganda, ignoring enormous injury to our people and rejecting a mountain of medical evidence. Who ever heard a Federal agency saying it was wrong? In the showcase of effete corrupt bureaucracies FDA proudly sits right there beside FEMA.


"But aspartame met its match with the EIB!" Says Dr. Betty Martini, of Mission Possible International, "it spurned the outrageous objections of the Calorie Control Council and Ajinomoto, the world's largest manufacturer of aspartame and MSG, against even discussing this grave issue and scheduled an entire week in next July for considering the evidence." Said Cliff Stroud, Vice Chairman of the board: "If the Board does not have the authority to listen to people about concerns with the food supply, then the system is broken." Well, its not broke in New Mexico!


As Winston Churchill said: "This is not the end, but it is the beginning of the end." New Mexico is the first domino, and everybody in the aspartame business knows it. If reason and truth prevail against this most pervasive of all poisons, the health and lives of
this great western state shall be protected and preserved by its alert, upright officials. Then the storm surge of resentment by innocent, unwarned and afflicted victims across America shall wash this sewage from our land.


A tremendous fight is coming from the malicious entrenched producers of this chemical weapon of mass destruction that was just named a "multi-potential carcinogen" by Italian researchers after a three-year study. Good government should be applauded.
Personally praise and congratulate the members of the Environmental Improvement Board. Get the facts to protect your family and tell everyone you know. Support your legislators! Enter the fray! Few things are exciting as a good fight, and not to fight for what is right is to let evil conquer.


Other heros to honor: Stephen Fox, the indomitable and relentless Petitioner who put this issue before the EIB and fought for years to decapitate this monster. He's an inspiration to all of citizen activism.


Also, honor the principled and generous Attorney Steven Douglas Looney, who fought pro bono, at his own expense, to valiantly defend the citizens of New Mexico and our first amendment rights of free speech. How fine!

BANNING ASPARTAME MOVES FORWARD IN NEW MEXICO WITH ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENT
Current rating: 0
11 Oct 2005
I am the petitioner who has asked the NM Environmental Improvement Board
to have a hearing to consider banning the sale of aspartame-containing
products through out New Mexico, next July 2006.

After Governor Bill Richardson commented last week that he supports the
EIB's decision, I asked both him and Attorney General Patricia Madrid,
perhaps together, to issue a kind of Executive Order, to remove the
products containing Aspartame in the New Mexico schools, far in advance
of the EIB hearings, based on the mountain of prima facie medical
evidence to warrant getting it out of children's consumption, in toto.
Neither has yet replied.
[One or both could also ask for an injunction to do this].

One editorial writer at the Albuquerque Journal recently questioned the
legislative intent behind the Environment Improvement Board's decision;
they could more carefully examine the statute which created the EIB in
1978 before denouncing such a hearing as "ludicrous."

Some New Mexicans have been diagnosed with neurodegenerative afflictions
which disappeared when they stopped consuming aspartame. These victims
don't think EIB hearings on aspartame are a "waste of taxpayer money."
Indeed, there are thousands of such New Mexicans, perhaps even more,
since 70% of adults and 40% of children are consuming aspartame daily!

I believe aspartame to be one of the major causes of increases in tumors
of the brain and of the pituitary, as well as the sharp increase in
Multiple Sclerosis in the USA, due to its metabolized byproduct,
formaldehyde.

The Journal's editorial asking for the EIB to "quickly reverse" its
decision is not going to sweep our urgent medical concerns under the
rug. If the product is so safe, why should Ajinomoto, the world's
largest manufacturer of aspartame and monosodium glutamate, be so intent
on quashing the hearings? I doubt the NM Supreme Court would even
consider such a writ, if these Aspartame corporate attorneys were to ask
any judge to deny an EIB hearing before it is even held. They have
billions of dollars at stake, both in profits and in potential punitive
and exemplary damages.

On November 14-15, I and several physicians, led by Dr. Ken Stoller
M.D., Pediatrician, Founder of the New Mexico Hyperbaric Chamber, and
Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at the University of New Mexico School
of Medicine, will present a similar petition to the New Mexico Board of
Pharmacy, to request a ruling to prohibit two neurotoxic additions to
pharmaceutical preparations consumed by in New Mexico:

1. Aspartame in hundreds of children's medications as well as children's
vitamins

2. Thimerosol, the mercury preservative found in vaccinations. Mercury's
neurotoxic properties are very well known.

New Mexico statutes delineate precise powers to the Pharmacy Board to
promulgate rules in this realm of poisonous and deleterious additives to
pharmaceutical preparations, in NMSA 26-1-3 and NMSA 26-1-9, even when
there is prior FDA approval thereof.

In California, the move to require a warning label on French Fries
because of carcinogenic acrylamide (resulting from high temperatures on
starch) is a brilliant effort by Attorney General Bill Lockyer and Chief
Deputy Attorney General Ed Weil, which I strongly commend to Madrid and
Bluestone as exemplary.

We are not asking for more labels on aspartame; the grim medical
realities of this formaldehyde cocktail warrant that it be taken off the
market entirely.
In this era of disastrous medical results and lethal blunders from the
growing corporate control of the FDA, states must take very strong steps
to protect the health of their citizens.
