Depression

Aspartame has been rebranded as AminoSweet.  Dr. Mercola reminds us of its side effects: Headache, Change in Vision, Convulsions and Seizures, Hallucination, Nausea and Vomiting and Joint Pain.  Aspartame has also been identified as an excito-toxin, seriously effecting one’s brain and nervous system.  And then you can look at the fact that it mimics Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Alzheimer’s, Depression, ADD and more diseases.  NutraSweet and Canderel are other aspartame commercial names.  PLEASE, be the smart one and do not buy, drink, eat or serve any artificial sweeteners and especially aspartame brands.

Food companies realize that High Fructose Corn Syrup has a negative reputation so they are asking the federal government to give them permission the change its name to “Corn Sugar.”  Seems they would rather continue to use HFCS as a sweetener even though there is research relating it to diseases such as diabetes and obesity, and simply fool you with this name change.  We see “Corn Sugar” as a cover up ploy.  Out smart these food manufacturers by not buying any products containing High Fructose Corn Syrup, regardless what it is called.

Gross but true – at least 85% of Americans have parasites – tiny little “critters”  that lay around 100,000 eggs inside you every month – they feed off your insides, grow and reproduce.  Their daily waste is the most toxic of this combination.  Children are the most vulnerable. Parasites are truly sickening.  Before the onset of pharmaceuticals, people commonly cleansed both their animals and themselves, regularly. It is time to get back to the basics and use cleansers at least twice a year.  Dr. Valerie Saxion has a great one, Paracease, or go to a natural food store find a good brand there.  After being cleansed you should experience renewed energy and health.  For more about parasites, refer to Dr. Saxion’s book, Every Body Has Parasites.
