APRIL 17, 2012 THE REFRIGERATOR KILLER

















"The greatest tool you have is to listen."










I listen--- really listen to patients when in their company on a visit. So much can be learned from listening to a patient. As Sir Osler always stated, "Medicine is not taught in the classroom but at the bedside." At the bedside or sitting in front of your desk you can ask questions and listen to responses. It is a gift to listen to people. My listening skills have made me a better person. On long days, I know I always must meditate for at least one hour if I am to listen to patients for hours. I need to be calm, at peace and serene in my own mind.



Not all of us have this killer in our refrigerator, but some of us do. It is Diet Soda. It contains aspartame. This also is called ' Equal', Nutra Sweet, or another name, 'Spoonful' More than 11 years ago the World Environmental Conference stated there was an epidemic of autoimmune diseases, including multiple sclerosis and lupus. This conference implicated this was due to the now called "Blue Packets"



We know that Sweet-n-Low (the pink packets) were found to be associated with cancer nearly 10 years later. Guess what - it is still being used today


When the temperatures of aspartame exceeds 86 degrees (like today in NYC) the wood alcohol in aspartame converts to formaldehyde and then to formic acid which in turn causes metabolic acidosis. Formaldehyde is stored in fat cells. It is an absolute toxin.







STOP DRINKING DIET SODAS AND BE ON THE ALERT FOR ASPARTAME ON ALL FOOD LABELS.





Diet soda is really not diet soda. It is full of sodium and chemically altered. You will likely --no YOU WILL GAIN WEIGHT FROM DRINKING DIET SODA




Symptoms attributed to many other diseases as cramps, vertigo, spasms, shooting pains, headaches, tinnitus, joint pain, unexplainable depression, anxiety memory loss and blurry vision could all be due to aspartame. Think twice before having aspartame in your diet.


If you are a diabetic and drinking diet sodas instead of sugar sodas like a Regular Coke think twice. Aspartame is worse for diabetics. It is a neurotoxin to diabetic patients.




Until tomorrow...
