Hillary Clinton Going Blind! Methanol/ Aspartame

The cover of the National Enquirer reads “Hillary is going blind”.  Further it said, “Hillary has been suffering from vision issues related to her blackouts and memory loss, but additional testing resulted in a diagnosis that she might have a rare optical nerve condition that will lead to blindness,” explained a family insider.”   The Enquirer had also reported Hillary was undergoing tests for a brain tumor some weeks ago,  and it was found she had a blood clot in the brain.  Aspartame breaks down to diketopiperazine, a brain tumor agent.

Memory loss, impaired vision and blindness as well as blackouts are big time aspartame problems listed on the FDA list of 92 symptoms:  http://www.mpwhi.com/92_aspartame_symptoms.pdf

From the records of ophthalmologist and methanol specialist, Dr. Morgan Raiford, are the following comments dating back 25 years:

May 20, 1987: FACTS ABOUT ASPARTAME

“The above product is also manufactured as NutraSweet. This pharmological spin-off is as highly profitable item, with a growing market. These products are used as a sweetener, some 200 times as sweet as regular cane sugar.

“This product has some highly toxic reactions in the human visual pathway and we are beginning to observe the tragic damage to the OPTIC NERVE, such as blindness, partial to total OPTIC NERVE ATROPHY. Once this destructive process has developed there is no return of visual restoration. We are beginning to see and observe another toxic reaction, which affects the central nervous system which is related to PHENYLALANINE LEVELS IN THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. These observations are more vague, however, it stimulates the damaging to the brain and the central nervous system, having the manifestations as PKU NEURO DAMAGE. Over 3000 cases have been reported and the FDA to date has ignored this existence.

HUMAN VISUAL PATHWAY DAMAGE

“The human visual pathway admits ninety percent of our intellectual input to the brain and central nervous system. All of the learning processes are centered during ones life time. The mechanism of this tragic damage to the human visual system from this product is and has been known for over a decade that visual loss takes place. When this drug enters the digestive tract, largely the upper portion, this ASPARTAME molecule spins off a by product known as METHANOL or METHYL-ALCOHOL. This product enters the blood stream and when these portions reach the highly metabolic region of the OPTIC NERVE AND RETINA, PARTIAL ATROPHY CAN AND DOES TAKE PLACE. The vision can not do without oxygen and nutrition for more than ninety seconds without revealing some damage. Total loss of vision is present and there is no return. In the very early stages in which is referred to as the “wet stage”, treatment can be given and will reserve the destructive pathology to the OPTIC NERVE and RETINA. This must be in the mind of the physician and he must understand the chemical ongoing process. The writer has seen many cases where the patent was allowed to go to the degrees of blindness, as this diagnosis of OPTIC NEURITIS was rendered, as the term IDIOPATHIC NEURITIS OF OPTIC NERVE was given, usually steroids until systemic gross body and facial moon developed.

“This therapy has demonstrated the total lack of understanding of the basic lack of BIO-CHEMICAL PHYSIOLOGY AT THE MOLECULAR LEVEL.

“The variability or onset of the OPTIC NERVE ATROPHY is of a type that one must first think of this pathology, and it requires a certain amount of listening to the patient. The quantity of symptoms vary with each patient.

“Over the past year the writer has observed the fact that any portion of the central nervous system can and is affected. Since the chemical PHENYLALANINE is mixed up with some metabolic mess, we have seen symptoms of varying hue in the extremities, sensations of dullness of the intellect, visual shadows, evidence of word structure reversing and some hearing impairment is noted by the individual. This can and will in time cause problems in learning. The medical community must alert itself that we have a problem that has surfaced due to the factor of the drug industry. Parents must be alerted to the side reactions of this toxic product and its reactions.

Sincerely,

Morgan B. Raiford, M.D. D.Sc (Med) OPHTHALMOLOGY”

There is a methyl ester in aspartame which immediately becomes free methyl alcohol, classified as a narcotic.  It causes chronic methanol poisoning which affects the dopamine system of the brain and causes the addiction.  The methanol converts to formaldehyde and formic acid in the retina of the eye and destroys the optic nerve.

A citizens petition for ban of aspartame based on blindness and seizures was filed by the Community Nutrition Institute in 1986.  Here is an article about it:

“NUTRASWEET/BLINDNESS, Chi-Sun Times

“CHICAGO SUN-TIMES, Friday, October 17, 1986

“Consumer group links NutraSweet to blindness
By William Hines
Chief, Washington Bureau
Chicago Sun-Times

“Ban artificial sweetener, FDA is urged

“WASHINGTON – Charging that aspartame – the widely used artificial sweetener marketed as NutraSweet – causes blindness, a consumer group yesterday petitioned the Food and Drug Administration to ban it.

“The petition was another step in a long and so far fruitless campaign by the Washington based Community Nutrition Institute against aspartame, which also is sold in stores under the name Equal.

“Three women who said their eyesight was seriously damaged or destroyed joined in the citizens’ petition to the FDA, which they asked “to expeditiously remove [the] product from the market without an administrative hearing.”

“At a press conference called by the institute to announce this imminent-hazard petition, two of the women told of heavy use of aspartame-sweetened products and said their doctors had advised them the sugar substitute was the cause of their sight loss.

“The NutraSweet Co., of Skokie, Ill., a subsidiary of Searle & Co., brushed off the institute’s complaint as “simply another round in their repeated efforts to gain publicity for their thoroughly discredited views on aspartame.”

“A Washington-based group called the International Food Information Council said through its executive director, Thomas E. Stenzel, the allegations “that aspartame causes various side effects are not based on any scientific data or controlled clinical studies.”

“James S. Turner, a Washington lawyer representing the Community Nutrition Institute in the petition, said the eye damage to the women named in the complaint was “a direct, causally related event to their consumption of NutraSweet.”

“Both heavy users

“Both women, Dana Cozad of St. Petersburg, Fla., and Joyce Wilson of Stockbridge, Ga., described themselves as heavy users of the sweetener.

“Wilson, a real estate agent, said she no longer can take sales prospects to see property because her vision does not permit her to drive.

“It has cost me a lot, and I really want the public to know what a dangerous product it is,” Wilson said.

“Cozad said that vision loss struck her suddenly in the right eye while she was driving home and that lengthy surgery and other sight- saving efforts followed.

“She said vision is gone in that eye, and – after she has spent 13 months on an aspartame-free diet – the condition of the left eye “remains relatively stable.”
“
Both women said their physicians had ruled out causes other than aspartame for their sight loss.

“Methyl alcohol blamed

“Dr. H. J. Roberts of West Palm Beach, Fla., said methyl alcohol is a component of aspartame and is responsible for vision damage, which he termed “the most serious complication” of those arising from aspartame use.

“Aspartame, which is described as a “natural” product, contains two amino acids, phenylalanine and aspartic acid, which are components of protein. Under certain storage conditions, the sweetener breaks down in part and methyl alcohol is a byproduct.

“Roberts said the visual reaction to methyl alcohol in heavy users of aspartame is the same as in drinkers of moonshine whiskey in Prohibition days: “They go blind.”

“Of 360 patients he has diagnosed as having aspartame-related problems, Roberts said, about one-fourth had decreased vision or blindness, nearly half had severe headaches and substantial numbers had epileptic seizures, confusion or memory loss, extreme depression and marked personality change.

“At FDA headquarters in Rockville, Md., spokesman William Grigg said the petition had been received but not yet studied.

“Grigg recalled that Turner filed several interventions against aspartame in the past, none of which received favorable FDA action.”

Joyce Wilson went blind and died from  the methanol toxicity.  She was diagnosed by Dr. Raiford.  He also wrote to  Shaannon Roth who went blind in one eye.  

 
Here is the letter dated 10/10/86 which further explains vision problems due to aspartame:

“Dear Shannon:

The first time that I had the opportunity to see the effects of methyl alcohol toxicity was in the years 1952-1953 that resulted visual damage to the optic nerves and retina in over 300 cases and death of over 30 persons.

In the cases of the use of Aspartame the loss of vision varied, first affection to the optic nerve fibers from loss of vision and atrophy of the optic nerve fibers. The central fibers (225,000) of the total (137,000,000) optic nerve fibers resulted in partial the extent of total blindness. (see enclosed paper on the Macula physiology, a paper that I presented in Houston, Texas, and Outline of the Macula function.) The macula area of the retina and optic nerve fibers are highly reactive to the toxicity of methyl alcohol because of these fibers and nerve cells require from four to six times as much oxygen and nutrition and the visual pathways peripheral nerves. These fibers and nerves (Tods and Cones) can not go without oxygen for more than 90 seconds without some visual loss. Aspartame is broken down by the upper portion of the digestive tract and methyl alcohol is then absorbed into the blood vessels of the region which travels through the bodies entire vascular system. This toxic effect causes extensive damage to the highly demanding metabolic requirements of the human visual pathway, ending with optic nerve atrophy as well as retinal starvation and visual loss.

The intensity of these toxic effects from the methyl alcohol spin-off causes impaired nerve damage that varies with intensity as to the amount of methyl alcohol the individual absorbs.

Beyond the extensive visual damage that aspartame can and does create, other organ systems are affected. Nerve damage to the arms, legs, central nerve impairment, resulting in impaired nerve function as well as neurosis and learning difficulties in school work as well as behavior(metabolic short circuits of the nerve/brain/visual cells)

The pressure put upon the Federal Drug Administration are well known. The Searle people are more interested in their greed factor of profits.

I have been told that this toxic methyl alcohol of aspartame has a market value of over $45,000,000. The human factor is being ignored and the moral is not presented.

This product Aspartame should be withdrawn from the market place and not for human use until the TOXIC METHYL ALCOHOL radical has been eliminated. Methyl alcohol has no place in a product, whole or in part, to be allowed to be produced by any manufacturer for human usage.

Sincerely, Morgan B. Raiford, M.D., D.Sc. (Med) Ophth

Aspartame not only causes optic neuritis but also macular degeneration.  Here is an article in the UK showing MD is epidemic.  http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/302018/Blindness-epidemic-fear -  Here are statistics on blindness: http://www.rightdiagnosis.com/b/blindness/stats.htm

The entire Clinton family appears to use aspartame/Diet Coke.  President Clinton first found out by aspartame when he had dinner with Dr. H. J. Roberts (Aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic, www.sunsentpress ) who gave him a couple of his books.  Unfortunately he didn’t get off of it and ended up with by-pass surgery.  A recent study showed aspartame causes heart attacks and strokes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rIyVdsenrY   However, it has been known for decades.  Aspartame causes an irregular heart rhythm and interacts with all cardiac medication.  It damages the cardiac conduction system and causes sudden cardiac death.  It’s discussed in Dr. Roberts medical text.  Here is also information from Dr. Russell Blaylock, neurosurgeon mentioning blindness.  http://www.oocities.org/missionstmichael/Aspartame1.html

The Enquirer recently wrote about daughter, Chelsea,  using artificial insemination to get pregnant.  From records on the Internet it appears she uses Diet Coke: http://blog.oregonlive.com/nwheadlines/2008/05/chelsea_clinton_buys_gobs_of_j.html    Aspartame is an endocrine disrupting agent, stimulates prolactin and changes the menses causing infertility.  Some may get off of aspartame and get pregnant, then return to its use.  Aspartame is also an abortifacient and teratogen causing birth defects and mental retardation. 

 Read  “While Science Sleeps” by Dr. Woodrow Monte.  Goes into the deadly free methyl alcohol in aspartame that converts to formaldehyde.  You can get it at http://www.amazon.com/While-Science-Sleeps-Woodrow-Monte/dp/1452893675/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1325287403&sr=8-11    Discusses diseases caused by the methanol like MS, blindness and birth defects. Tells how FDA made a deal with G. D. Searle to hide the studies that showed aspartame causes birth defects, so the public would never know.  Explains autism epidemic.  What a heinous crime.  You can read the last chapter of “While Science Sleeps” on autism from his web site, www.WhileSciencesleeps.com   Somebody needs to  alert Chelsea she must avoid aspartame.  Also, Dr. Ralph Walton is doing a study on birth defects.  For those who used aspartame during pregnancy there is a form on www.mpwhi.com to complete or can contact him direct at [email protected]
