Did you know that many illnesses are misdiagnosed and are actually caused by “artificial sweetener poisoning” (chemical poisoning)?
Documentation and observation reveal that thousands of children diagnosed with ADD and ADHD have had complete turnarounds in their behavior when processed foods, aspartame, and other artificial sweeteners have been removed from their diet.
Read on to learn more about how artificial ingredients can cause or worsen countless different conditions – and how a pure, natural diet can completely revolutionize your health!
Metabolism, Weight Loss, & Healthy Eating
What effect does quitting smoking have on the metabolism?When a person stops using drugs and stimulants, the body becomes so relaxed, the metabolism slows down. At this point, if the person has poor eating patterns or habits, this is the formula for rapid weight gain to the “tune” of 20, 30, to 50+ pounds!But weight gain totally depends on your mindset and/or food choices. If you fill that empty void with nutritious foods, you can actually lose weight while you stop smoking!During our smoking cessation program, we teach methods and combine tools to prevent weight gain. Often clients lose 1 to 3 pounds during their first week of smoking cessation (if they are already overweight).Since 1992, our program has specialized in helping people stop smoking and lose weight at the same time. When you call, I will ask you some questions and decide how fast I think we can help you drop those unwanted pounds. If I feel we can help you, I will commit to you and we can get started right away. The most weight-loss we have witnessed with our program is 28 pounds in one month and 51 pounds in 7 weeks. This is based on our treatment protocol for rapid drug detox.Our theory is: If you detox the body rapidly and start feeling better right away, you are immediately rewarded with more energy and are more likely to adopt this pattern of eating as a lifestyle change.Learn more about quitting smoking with the Stop clinicWhat if I’m not a smoker/quitting smoking? Can your treatment still help me improve my metabolism and/or lose weight?Absolutely! Many food related illnesses are sugar related… or related to foods that easily and quickly convert to sugar. The body becomes addicted to these processed foods and begins shutting down after a few decades. The person feels weak and sickly, asks their medical professional for medications and over time, becomes heavily dependent on large doses of medications.In America, many children choose their own foods at an early age. A poor diet can cause ADHD, irritability, anxiety, lethargy, obesity, depression, trouble with concentration, and a feeling of lack of purpose. A few illnesses that can result from poor lifetime eating habits are:ObesityDiabetesHigh Blood PressureHigh CholesterolStrokesLupusHeart AttacksFibromyalgiaChronic Fatigue SyndromeHypoglycemiaHypothyroidismand many more…The quick, easy (“band-aid”) answer is medication… it becomes a substitute for proper nutrition. Outcome: addiction.Our electrical stimulation treatment blocks the cravings for sugar and other drugs, resets your appetite control signal, helps the body detox faster, and thus, increases the body’s metabolism.We will teach you how to choose foods and control portions, to develop a diet that will boost your immune system, prevent cancer, reverse heart disease (and many other food related diseases), and lose weight faster. Within 1 to 3 days, you will begin to lose weight and feel the energy from your new way of eating. Within 3 weeks, your blood composition will begin to change.At the STOP clinic, we customize each program to fit your needs. It is your program, designed to support you for the rest of your life to achieve a healthy, happy, disease-free life!Learn more about Losing Weight with the Stop clinic
GMO Food… Is your food safe ?
Is your food safe, or has it been genetically modified (GMO Foods)? Most of the corn, wheat, soy, etc., available on the market today have been genetically modified. Pure foods are becoming more difficult to find. Most GMO crops were invented by a chemical company known as Monsanto, under the guise of creating seeds that would “help farmers and people in third world countries grow more crops.”However, these genetically modified crops (and the toxic weedkillers that Monsanto sells with them!) have a devastating effect on our health, the environment, and the farmers who were pressured to buy them… all the while Monsanto rakes in money! Read on for more info on GMO crops, Monsanto, and how to avoid GMO and eat pure, nutritious foods. Monsanto and the Creation of GMOOver 20 years ago, a chemical company known as Monsanto invented a genetically modified (GMO) seed and bought a patent for it. Monsanto sold this “seed” concept to our government, claiming, “We can help the farmers and third world countries grow more crops! We will genetically modify the SEED by combining the Weed Killer (aka Roundup) with the seed. Although we are changing the DNA of the seeds, this hybrid seed will not affect the DNA of people and therefore is safe for human consumption.”Lie, Lie, Lie… 20 years later we are witnessing DNA damage in children (autism, ADHD, sexual deformities), adults (ADHD, sterility, unexplained illnesses, acting out behavior, suicides, etc.), fish (deformities, sterility), bees (dying, inability to pollinate), plants (sterile and contaminated), etc.Now most of the corn and soy beans available to us for human consumption have been genetically modified. Many other plant seeds have also been modified. (Be on the alert for these.)The general public has no idea of the dangerous foods they are consuming. Most of us trust the FDA and believe we are protected by our American Medical Association (AMA). Sad… that we cannot afford to trust these groups to protect our food.Our government and the FDA (I used to trust they were protecting us) “bought” Monsanto’s concept… or did they know? Humans who consume these plants will risk the possibility of compromised DNA resulting in unexplained deformities and illnesses. Pure, organic, unadulterated, heirloom produce, plants and seeds are becoming more difficult to find. Who will suffer the most? The uneducated and poor… those who do not realize the importance of eating pure foods.GMO’s Impact on farmersMonsanto sold their “patented” GMO crops to many farmers in third world countries. These farmers were unaware that the new generation of plants grown from these seeds become sterile (cannot reproduce from their own seeds). Many farmers affected by this con unfortunately found themselves in poverty, and resorted to suicide.Many farmers even here in the US who use GMO seeds are ”misinformed”… they just believe, trust the FDA, buy and plant the seeds without questioning their purity or safety. (Informed) farmers who refuse to use Monsanto’s GMO hybrid seeds are either sued or forced out of business. Every time you and I buy seeds, plants or vegetables, we are blindly trusting, too.Videos that may be of interest to you:Indian Farmer Suicides: The following video has been censored from YouTube, but can still be viewed at the Internet Archive link: https://web.archive.org/web/20130105205045/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Av6dx9yNiCAGMO seeds: The “Massive Con” Causing a Suicide Every 30 Minutes (This Post was written 2012… link is now censored!!!) http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2012/04/03/gmo-crops-affect-farmers.aspx?ShowAllComments=true#453697“Roundup” and other weedkillersLast weekend, I went to Lowes, Home Depot and the Farmer’s Market to look for some Heirloom plants for my raised garden bed. Each year I plant tomatoes, bell peppers, herbs and Swish chard and enjoy the taste and energy I receive from knowing my food is safe and healthy.This year I was shocked to see the potting soil (at Lowes) contains a weed killer in the bag! This made me sad for the “uninformed” public.Don’t buy this “tainted” potting soil… Don’t buy Roundup, Ortho, or any poison to spray on your plants! And don’t let the spray go any where near your flowering plants, (edible or not)! This weed killer affects the DNA of the plant and if you ingest it, you will be affected, too. For flowering plants, the bees are affected… and we need the bees to pollinate our food. My neighbor uses soapy water to kill weeds… a much safer substance.Videos that may be of interest to you:Eating plants from your yard: (This Post was written 2012… link is now censored!!!) http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2012/04/08/the-five-healthiest-backyard-weeds.aspx?e_cid=20120408_SNL_Art_1My own experiment (2009)Several years ago, I noticed the tomatoes in the grocery store seemed tasteless, had no tomato smell and were almost rubbery. Three years ago, a neighbor brought me 3 tomatoes from her father’s garden that resembled the tomatoes in the grocery store. I ate one of them and decided to put the other 2 on the counter so they might ripen and become tastier.After 1 week, these 2 tomatoes became a “science” experiment. They never ripened, spoiled, cracked or disintegrated. After 3 months, they began to wither … so I thought I’d better throw them away before they split and seeped. When I picked them up, they were still intact and firm. The picture to your right is that of a 3 month old tomato. See for yourself. This is what genetically modified food looks like after 3 months.I also noticed for the past 2 years my plants were not producing as well as they had in the past. So last year, I began searching and purchasing Heirloom plants and seeds.During this 3 months of the tomato experiment, I went to the farmer’s market, visited each booth that sold tomatoes and smelled of the tomatoes. None of the tomatoes smelled like I remember a tomato smelling when I was a child.As a child, I remember the watermelons being bright red, sweet and full of juice and seeds. Now most people seek the seedless watermelons which are light pink, non-juicy and contain only one seed. Where is the “energy” in this food? If you plant this one seed, do you think a plant would grow? How could such an organism affect your body?In my humble opinion, the best way to tell if a fruit is ripe and pure is to smell it (according to the Harris Teeter produce man). Please refrain from pressing your thumb into fruits and vegetables to see if they’re ripe – you are only bruising it for the next customer.Just smell the end of it where the stem was attached. If it smells sweet, it is ripe. If it smells green, let it sit on your counter for 3 days and it will ripen. Each thumb press causes a bruise and spoilage… and that is not very kind to your fellow consumer.According to one of my mentors, Dr. Kusumi, “If it won’t spoil, DON’T EAT IT! Dhoose the foods that are pure.”Pure Food is Your Fuel!If you want to “fuel” your body, build your immune system and protect yourself from disease, these are good rules to follow:Eat raw, organic foods… aim for a diet that is 80 percent raw, if you cannot go totally raw.Plant your own Heirloom seeds! Swiss chard grows all year round and has high food value, just like spinach.Avoid genetically modified foods and those sprayed or contaminated with pesticides, herbicides, and other poisons.Avoid artificial foods, processed foods, sugar, artificial sweeteners, preserved foods in boxes, cans or frozen entrees.Avoid wheat, corn, soy, grains, and their byproducts if you are ill, or want to prevent being ill. Consume seeds (and their byproducts) instead. If the food contains words you are not familiar with or cannot pronounce, it is probably “preserved” or artificial. Drink filtered water. Weigh yourself; divide that number in half; drink at least “that” number of ounces per day.Stay hydrated… your blood needs to flow, easily.I wish you well… happy healing and eating for 2012 and always!

Artificial Sweetener Poisoning
Artificial Sweetener PoisoningMany illnesses are misdiagnosed and are actually caused from “artificial sweetener poisoning” (chemical poisoning). Artificial sweeteners are highly addictive and extremely poisonous! In our clinic, we witness many illnesses disappear when the diet becomes pure.Over the past 30+ years, we have witnessed the following “diagnosed” illnesses disappear:Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD/ADHD)Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)FibromyalgiaChemical Drug Sensitivity (CDS)Multiple Sclerosis (MS)HypoglycemiaArthritis (RA)DiabetesMy suggestion: Before you go to the doctor or a medical specialist (with fatigue, aches and pain, anxiety, unusual feelings of depression or lethargy), take a thorough inventory of the foods you are consuming. If your food is making you sick, there are no tests, treatments or medications in this world to turn your health problems around. There are only expensive tests to confirm you are feeling poorly and “band-aid” medications to mask your discomforts.The body is miraculous! It can sustain a lot of “abuse” from one’s food and diet for so many years. As generations inherit their forefather’s DNA, so do they inherit their propensity for damaged DNA and illnesses.Many of the illnesses we witness in this generation, rarely existed 50 years ago and many are now common place. A few that I am aware of are: autism, cancer, diabetes, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis (MS), chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), anxiety, depression and mental illness.Read on to learn more about the dangers of Aspartame, its creation by MONSANTO, and its links to various chronic conditions and illnesses!What is Aspartame?Aspartame is an artificial sweetener (also frequently disguised as “Nutra Sweet”, “Equal”, Splenda and “Spoonful”). It was created by MONSANTO, the same company responsible for popularizing GMO crops and creating the toxic herbicide “agent orange” used in the Vietnam war.When the temperature of aspartame exceeds 86 degrees F, the wood alcohol it contains converts to formaldehyde and then to formic acid, which in turn causes metabolic acidosis.Formaldehyde is a toxic substance typically used to preserve scientific ’tissue specimens,’ and becomes trapped in fat cells, particularly in the hips and thighs. Many products we use every day contain this chemical but we SHOULD NOT store it IN our body!Formic acid is the poison found in the sting of fire ants. It causes methanol toxicity which mimics, among other conditions, multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus.Many people who are diagnosed with MS are actually suffering from “artificial sweetener poisoning”. Although multiple sclerosis is not a death sentence, methanol toxicity is a death sentence! Multiple Sclerosis, Systemic Lupus, and FibromyalgiaIn 2001, in the keynote address by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) at the World Environmental Conference, it was announced that the USA was suffering an epidemic of multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus. One Dr. H. J. Roberts stood up and said that he was there to lecture on exactly that subject.During a lecture, Dr. Roberts said, “If you are using Aspartame (Nutra Sweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc.) and you suffer from fibromyalgia symptoms, spasms, shooting, pains, numbness in your legs, cramps, vertigo, dizziness, headaches, tinnitus, joint pain, unexplainable depression, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, blurred vision, or memory loss, you probably have Aspartame (artificial sweetener) poisoning!” People were jumping up during the lecture saying, “I have some of these symptoms.”The Myth of “Diet Soda”Because Aspartame is “sugar free,” it is included in many diet products and diet sodas. Dr. Espart (one of the other speakers at the conferece) remarked that so many people seem to be symptomatic for MS. During his recent visit to a hospice center, a nurse stated that six of her friends, who were heavy Diet Coke addicts, had all been diagnosed with MS. This is beyond coincidence.Diet soda is NOT a weight loss product! It is a chemically altered, multiple sodium (salt) and Aspartame-containing-product that actually makes you crave carbohydrates. It is far more likely to make you GAIN weight!Dr. H. J. Roberts stated in his lectures that once free of ‘diet products’ and with no significant increase in exercise, his patients lost an average of 19 pounds over a trial period.If it says “Sugar Free” on the label, do not even think about consuming it!Aspartame & DiabetesAspartame is especially dangerous for diabetics.Some physicians found examples of their patients with retinopathy who, in fact, had symptoms caused by aspartame, which drives the blood sugar out of control.These diabetics may suffer acute memory loss due to the fact that aspartic acid and phenylalanine are neurotoxic when taken without the other amino acids necessary for a good balance.Treating diabetes is all about balance.Especially with diabetics, the Aspartame passes the blood/brain barrier and deteriorates the neurons of the brain, causing various levels of brain damage, seizures, depression, manic depression, panic attacks, uncontrollable anger and rage.Aspartame & ADD/ADHDDocumentation and observation also reveal that thousands of children diagnosed with ADD and ADHD have had complete turnarounds in their behavior when these chemicals have been removed from their diet.So called “behavior modification prescription drugs” (Ritalin, Adderall, etc.) are no longer needed. Truth be told, they were never NEEDED in the first place! Most of these children were being ‘poisoned’ on a daily basis with the very foods that were ‘better for them than sugar.’It is also suspected that the Aspartame in thousands of pallets of Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi consumed by men and women fighting in the Gulf War, may be partially to blame for the well-known Gulf War Syndrome.Dr. Roberts warns that Aspartame can cause birth defects, i.e. mental retardation, if taken at the time of conception and during early pregnancy. Children are especially at risk for neurological disorders and should NEVER be given artificial sweeteners.MONSANTO & the Apartame Congressional HearingsMONSANTO, the creator of Aspartame, knows how deadly it is.There were Congressional Hearings when Aspartame was included in 100 different products and strong objection was made concerning its use. Since this initial hearing, there have been two subsequent hearings, and still nothing has been done. The drug and chemical lobbies have very deep pockets.Sadly, MONSANTO’S patent on Aspartame has EXPIRED! There are now over 5,000 products on the market that contain this deadly chemical.Ironically, as was recently exposed in the New York Times, MONSANTO also funds the American Diabetes Association, the American Dietetic Association and the Conference of the American College of Physicians. These organizations cannot criticize any additives or convey their link to MONSANTO because they take money from the food industry, and are required to endorse their products.Senator Howard Metzenbaum wrote and presented a bill that would require label warnings on products containing Aspartame, especially regarding pregnant women, children and infants.The bill would also institute independent studies on the known dangers and the problems existing in the general population regarding seizures, changes in brain chemistry, neurological changes and behavioral symptoms.The bill was killed…It is known that the powerful drug and chemical lobbies are responsible for this “killed bill”… letting loose the hounds of disease and death on an unsuspecting and uninformed public. Well, you’re informed now!YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW!The Good News…Artificial Sweetener Poisonining is completely reversible!At the STOP Clinic, we first observed (in 1995) symptoms of multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, migraines, chemical drug sensitivity, chronic fatigue syndrome, and systemic lupus disappear once our clients gave up artificial sweeteners and diet sodas and chose a pure diet! Hopefully, the following story may save you from unecessary agony and pain. This remarkable story reinforces illnesses I have witnessed over the past 30+ years. In October of 2001, my friend’s sister started getting very sick. She had stomach spasms and a difficult time getting around. Walking was a major chore. It took everything she had just to get out of bed; she was in so much pain.By March 2002, she had undergone several tissue and muscle biopsies and was on 24 various prescription medications. The doctors could not determine what was wrong with her. She was in so much pain, and so sick she just knew she was dying.She put her house, bank accounts, life insurance, etc., in her oldest daughter’s name, and made sure that her younger children were to be taken care of.She also wanted her last hooray, so she planned a trip to Florida (basically in a wheelchair) for March 22nd.On March 19 her brother called her to ask how her most recent tests went, and she said they didn’t find anything on the test, but they believed she had multiple sclerosis (MS).He recalled an article a friend of his e-mailed to him and he asked his sister if she drank diet soda?She told him that she did… As a matter of fact, she was getting ready to crack one open at that moment.He told her not to open it, and to stop drinking the diet soda! He then e-mailed her the article his friend had sent.His sister called within 32 hours after their phone conversation and told him she had stopped drinking the diet soda AND she could walk! The muscle spasms went away. She said she didn’t feel 100 percent but, she sure felt a lot better.She told him she was going to her doctor with this article and would call him when she got home.Well, she called and said her doctor was amazed! He is going to call all of his MS patients to find out if they consumed artificial sweeteners of any kind.In a nutshell, she was suffering from “artificial sweetener poisoning” by the Aspartame in the diet soda… and literally dying a slow and miserable death.She is now well on her way to a complete recovery and walking without a wheelchair!
