I've had severe problems with aspartemene poisoning. About a year and a half ago i started getting panic attacks, migraines, muscle spasms, and in addition i developed a nervous twitch. I thought it was gear related so i went to the doctor who gave me a thorough examination - but said even given what i was taking [at the time 500mgs test, 40mgs dbol - monster cycle etc] he couldn't see where the problems were coming from. He said i was just, "going through a rough patch" and sent me on my way. However, the symptoms started getting worse so i went back to a different Dr who told me the same thing. I demanded different tests but they all came back negative - according to them i was fine. I was by now seriously freaked out as it seemed that all these problems were in my mind. Things really came to a head when my vision started to fuck up. I was walking round a supermarket when my eyes just dimmed - as though someone turned them down. I went to an eye specialist who told me everything seemed fine and i was worrying about nothing. As a last resort i went to a kinesiologist who tested me for various allergies and then told me about something called aspartamene. I'd never heard of it but did some research .... FUCK! I couldn't believe what i was reading. Asparamene is a poison that is actually illegal in some countries. It triggers cancer in some people, has made some people go blind and has actually killed. Aspartamene poisoning is actually called by many Drs the "fake MS", as it causes many of the same symptoms. I checked all the products i used that had asparamene in:
protein powder
protein flapjacks
The sweetner i'd put on my oats
ALL diet drinks [and some 'ordinary' soft drinks
most chewing gum
fruit cordials [even the sugar ones have it in as well]
Now this is stuff i'd have everyday - and had been having everday for years. It had all built up and nearly destroyed my system. My symptoms started to clear up after a couple of months and i'm fine now, but if i even [mistakenly] have something with it in it all immediatley comes back.
Most people arn't affected by aspartamene - but some are, so why take the risk? It is a poison. Even the Mexican govt are considering banning it and in india it has health warnings like tobacco. If third world countries like them are taking it seriously, why arn't we in the west? Crazy
