I will be coming in for my annual checkup in July. I wanted to get the word out on my condition so everyone knows to get people off “NutraSweet or Aspartame.”
Since I have last seen you, I developed fibromyalgia and was in chronic pain. It was horrible.
I thought I might be over training at the gym but I was only working out 4 days a week. I started to scale back my workouts until my brother called me one day and told me about the side effects of Aspartame. I got really scared. I thought my aches and pains were due to me getting older, because I was literally shuffling to the bathroom in the morning, like an 80 year old man.
Since I have purged all Aspartame from my diet, all my pain miraculously disappeared!!!! All the stiffness in my neck, upper and lower back and joints have totally subsided.
I am sending you this link, because I think every health professional should be warning their patients about this horrible substance. I will be filing a complaint with the FDA on the effects.
I have purged all of this out of my kitchen and refuse to take any artificial sweetener. Since I have stopped this, I have lost 10 pounds and my cravings for carbs (every hour, like a mad woman) are gone. I finally am at the point where I can make wise food choices (where before I was like a ravished wolf) without having this chemical drive me to the cupboard every hour.
Here are a couple of links. Please urge all your patients to get educated. (When Aspartame is heated to 80 degrees Fahrenheit, it turns to formaldehyde in the body).

Just type in sweet poison into any search engine and read. I bet you will find that there are certain patients who can benefit from this. Any headaches, chronic fatigue syndrome, grand maul seizures, fibromyalgia, even vision problems and hearing problems. Go check out the list.
Anyway, I feel I have a new lease on life!!! I feel back to normal and 20 years old again. I am drinking a ton of water and eating balanced meals with simple carbs. I am happy.
