To:  Jerome Burne

Dear Mr. Burne:

First of all, you would be surprised how I got your message. For a
couple of weeks now I had a "tag" with somebody's email address on every
message that comes in or goes out.  I finally discovered that the email
addresses were requests for information on aspartame but not messages
that I had ever had in my email box.  So I figured it must be somebody
trying to get information from the auto-responder.  And some people told
me they were not getting a directory.

So tonight on checking on my email I opened a message from THE DAILY
BRIEF, the top news story, and on the very end of the DAily Brief was
your email request for information and identifying yourself as a
journalist in Britain.  I must get this straightened out.

About aspartame and brain tumors, yes indeed NutraSweet caused brain
tumors, and many other cancers.  The late FDA Toxicologist Dr. ADrian
Gross in Congressional Hearings said that aspartame violated the Delaney
Amendment which forbids putting cancer causing additives on the market.
His last words to Congress were:  "And if the FDA itself violates the law
who is left to protect the public?"  Obviously we have no protector.
Mission Possible is a volunteer force in 50 states distributing a warning
flyer on aspartame worldwide.

Serendipity to Dr. Olney's recent journal, I had just sent an open letter
to Dr. David Kessler of the FDA asking him why is there a warning on
saccharin of cancer, when as the book CALCULATED RISKS, J. Rodicks, page
161, says: "Saccharin is the least potent carcinogen ever detected in an
animal study, the dose required to produce a given lifetime incidence of
tumors is greater than that of any other known animal carcinogen."  Yet,
there is no warning on aspartame and it triggered brain tumors and other
cancers including malignant mammary tumors, uterine tumors, etc.  I don't
expect an answer.  I'll send you the letter.

Above you will see Dr. Millstone's email.  He just wrote a paper on Dr.
Olney's journal and he is there in England so you might want to talk to
him. He also has been researching aspartame for years and knows about
these original studies.

You will also see Dr. Roberts email address and he is the world expert on
aspartame and has written books and publications on it.  I have on the
auto-responder and I'm not sure it works, Dr. Roberts peer reviewed
report on aspartame and brain cancer.  So I'll send it to you to make
sure you have it.

This is nothing knew. I'll send you the post I did THEY KNEW THE GUN WAS
LOADED having to do with the secret trade information - prior to the
marketing of aspartame.  It is discussing how to get it approved when
they have to consider complete conversion to DKP, which is a tumor agent.
They said if they tell the FDA they can't get it approved,  so they
didn't tell them.  This is SEarle who originally marketed aspartame.
Monsanto bought it in l985.

I just sent a tape of the Congressional Hearings to some people in TV and
in the hearings they are discussing this secret trade information which I
have.

This article you're talking about also appeared in the Atlanta Journal
Constitution.  I don't know how it compares with the one in England but
here it is:

NATION IN BRIEF;  SWEETENER, BRAIN TUMORS LINKED?  "Aspartame, a popular
artificial sweetener sold most often as NutraSweet, is a leading suspect
in an upsurge of deadly brain tumors in the United States, researchers at
Washington University in St. Louis have concluded.

Their analysis of National Cancer Institute data being published this
week in the Journal of Neuropathology and Experimental Neurology, found
that the number of brain tumors jumped by 10 per cent in l984, a year
after the Food and Drug Administration approved the sweetener for
widespread use in food and soft drinks.  Similar increases in brain
tumors occured in Europe, the researchers said.

The U.S. increase - about 1,310 cases per year - was marketed by rising
diagnoses of the same type of highly malignant tumor found in laboratory
rats in an aspartame study in the l970's, the scientists said.  Dr. Jhon
Olney, lead author of the paper, is a noted neuropathologist and
psychiatrist who has challenged aspartame's safety since the l970's.

"Compared to other environmental factors, aspartame appears to be a
promising candidate for explaining the surge in brain tumors in the mid
l980s," the researchers said, emphasizing that they were not aserting a
causal link but rather urging further research here and abroad.

But the FDA said there are "serious methodological questions about Dr.
Olney's conclusions."  And the Illinois based NutraSweet Kelco Co., which
sells close to $1 billion of aspartame annually, said the researchers"
manipulated the data to make their point."

__________End of Atlanta Journal Constitution article

Of course, NutraSweet's remarks are hilarious.  If you want to talk about
manipulating data lets really bring out the facts.  One of the most talk
about studies is the Bressler Report.  Rats developed these brain tumors,
and then Searle excised the tumors and put the rats back in the study.
But in the Bressler study some of the rats died and SEarle resurrected
them back on paper.  Now that I call manipulating the data!!!!!!!

Mr. Burne, the Southeastern Tumor Association told me last summer that
brain tumors were escalating 600%.  The Saturday Evening Post wrote an
article last year on escalating brain tumors.  I talked to CanHelp about
this, a consumer cancer organization that assists those with cancer find
alternative treatments and helps to educate.  I was told that gliomas are
rampant.  Patrick told me the glioma is the first stage of the rare
astrocytoma and that was the tumors the rats got.  You might want to
check me on that with Dr. Roberts, the different stages of that type of
tumors - for accuracy.

A hospice nurse, Susan Laird, from Colorado called me one day to ask why
all these youngsters are being admitted with brain tumors.  I said: "you
mean Diet Coke drinkers?"  These are the worst because they so easily
break down in heat to a witches brew of toxins.  The methanol in
aspartame converts first to formaldehyde and then formic acid and causes
metabolic acidosis.  Aspartic acid and phenylalanine are neurotoxic when
isolated from the other amino acids in protein and go past the blood
brain barrier and deteriorate the neurons of the brain causing brain
damage of varying degrees.  It is escalating Alzheimers and Dr. Roberts
has already written a book about it = DEFENSE AGAINST ALZHEIMERS
DISEASE.  And he's just written a new book called ASPARTAME DISEASE which
is not published.  But Dr. Roberts says aspartame is a disease, and
symptoms and pattern are predictable.  Indeed, they are - simply tell me
how much aspartame you use and I'll tell YOU your symptoms!

Yes, Monsanto has poisoned the world and in June the FDA - Monsanto's
siamese twin, just approved aspartame in everything in the grocery
store!  They have such an incestuous relationship they must play musical
beds for sport!  The GAO did an investigation of this relationship with
regard to the bovine growth hormone, but they got out of it.  Robert
Cohen has filed suit against the FDA for their failure to release all the
data on that under Freedom of Information.  BGH is another Monsanto
poison. Spleens were enlarged in animals as much as 46% which is a
preleukemic condition and some of the animals got cancer.  The insulin
growth factor (IGF) in BGH, the regulator of cancer is tremendously
increased.  Also it was found that an amino acid was out of place, lysine
was replace by epsilon-N-acetyllysine.  So at position 144 in the peptide
sequence an error occurred.  What disasterous consequence could this
error produce.  I assure you nobody on planet earth has the faintest
idea.  Welcome to the International Association of guinea pigs and lab rats!
Remember there is only one amino acid out of place in Sickle Cell Anemia,
and only one amino acid out of place in genetic Alzheimers.  Well they
said they would fix it.

With all this, cancer, leukemia and who knows what, there is something
worse!!!  And the FDA in their loyalty to Monsanto isn't telling even
under the Freedom of Information law.

Unfortunately people in other countries look to the FDA as somebody who
wants to protect the public.  Don't believe it- I call them the Fatal
Drugs Allowed folks - it really should stand for FASTER DYING AMERICANS!

Notice above in the Atlanta Journal article how the FDA is trying to
protect Nutrasweet as they say: "But the FDA said there are "serious
methodological questions about Dr. Oleny's conclusions".  It was the FDA
who sold out in the first place when Dr. ARthur Hull Hayes over-ruled a
Board of Inquiry who said not to approve aspartame, and then went to work
for the manufacturer's PR Firm.  The head of the FDA working for a PR
firm - sort of like an art director working on a pig farm!

If you research aspartame the facts are so incredible it would be
unbelievable as a fiction story.  Remember the fiasco with resurrecting rats!
Merrill, legal counsel for the FDA asked U.S. ATtorney SAm Skinner to
indict Searle for fraud.  So what does Skinner do - he goes to work for
SEarle's law firm defending the case, and let slip the hounds of disease
and death on an unprotected public.  U.S. ATtorney Conlon after him did
the same thing.  Skinner ended up as Secretary of Transportation and then
Chief of Staff under President Bush, the second most powerful position in
the White House.  Even Supreme Justice Clarence Thomas was once a
MOnsanto attorney.

If you think it can't get worse, I would tell you a lot more but it would
be like reading a book.  Instead I'll send you Alex Constantine's article
NUTRAPOISON with about 98 references.  You'll even find out that
aspartame was once listed in an inventory of prospective biochemical
warfare weapons submitted to Congress!!!  Yes, aspartame is a poison.

Now, you are probably thinking well at least thats the worst.  No, now
people are dying of the formaldehyde.  In one case there was so much
formaldehyde they had to close the casket, it was seeping out of the
skin.

If I had to give a quick course on aspartame I would say in a nutshell
aspartame destroys the brain, the optic nerve and the central nervous
system. People are going blind and people are dying.  Joyce Wilson went
blind and was misdiagnosed as MS, and then died like an Alzheimer victim
with no memory.  She was ASPARTAME VICTIMS AND THEIR FRIENDS OF GEORGIA!
Dr. Clarice Gaylord of the EPA announced an epidemic of MS and lupus and
said they couldn't identify the toxin.  This was at the World
Environmental Conference last November.  I said: "Dr. Gaylord, I'm
Founder of Mission Possible and I'm here to lecture on lupus and MS and
idaentify the toxin as NutraSweet, the methanol toxicity from aspartame
mimics MS."

It's been on TV lately, a couple of pilots (its a seizure triggering drug
and the altitude makes pilots more proned to the seizures of the wood
alcohol), one had a grand mal seizure in flight which is commonplace with
a planeful of passengers, another had a black out, one child almost died
from aspartame in her vitamins and was revived in the E.R., and there was
a young man who had a stroke.

The FDA lists 92 documented symptoms from coma to death, four types of
seizures, blindness, convulsions, coma, etc.  And they are so guilty.
We've provide cards for the victims to fill out and send to the FDA so
their case gets on the record.  The FDA didn't count them.  And they knew
they were going to approve it as a general sweetener, and they must have
sit up all night thinking of how to have a decrease in complaints.  Get a
load of this one - they send out a note saying they had changed their
bookeeping system so they had to remove 649 complaints from the early
80's.  They might as hang up a sign that says "we're guilty"!!!

And aspartame is not an additive, it is a drug, that interacts with other
drugs, it changes brain chemistry, it changes the dopamine level of the
brain (easily could kill a Parkinson patient) and can destroy the fetus.
It depletes serotonin so you have manic depression, panic attacks,
violence, rage.

You think it can't get worse?  Dr. Elsas testified before Congress that
aspartame is a known neurotoxin and teratogen (triggers birth defects),
but did you know that even if a man consumes aspartame at the time of
conception he can cause birth defects in his own child.  Which brings us
to Desert Storm where diet drinks heated up in the Arabian sun of 120
degrees. Another long story.

Dr. Roberts has been talking about these brain tumors for years.  Who
knows how many of these young teenagers have died from these brain
tumors.  Somebody even called me from the Mayo Clinic the other day.

Dr. Olney wrote in Nature, Volume 227, No. 5258, pp. 609-610, Brain
Damage in Infant Mice Following Oral Intake of Glutamate, Aspartate or
Cysteine - this was back in August, l970.  Mice got holes in the brain.

Think about it, Mr. Burne, Mission Possible is a volunteer force that
distriutes a warning that aspartame is a neurotoxin around the world -
started for only this reason.  Hundreds of thousands of people warning
people that aspartame can kill you all over the world.  Now there is
Mission Possible Canada, Mission Possible Mexico, Mission Possible
Holland, etc.

Dr. Barua, an opthalmic surgeon in India wrote 16 pages in the Diabetic
Journal of India, notified diabetic organizations, ophthalmic and
psychiatric organizations and went to Parliament to ask that aspartame be
removed from India.  I'll put her email above if you want to talk to her.
She is an incredible woman and physician who may singlehandedly save the
country of India from this poison. She recently addressed the Diabetic
ASsociation of India and Monsanto immediately sent a fax requesting a
copy of the journal.  Good.  Monsanto funds the American Diabetic
ASsociation and the American Dietetic Association and with full knowledge
they endorse this for diabetics (and pregnant women).  And this
criminal.  Monsanto ought to be indicted for crimes against humanity, and
you can quote me!!!

Dr. Roberts and I were on radio Jan 28 and he is a diabetic specialist.
He said it keeps the blood sugar out of control, destroys the optic nerve
and is causing diabetics to go into convulsions.  Can you imagine giving
a diabetic something with wood alcohol in it? The diabetics have been
sacrificed.

You should know that one of the scientists who worked on NutraSweet
worked off the job in digust because he told SEarle that it was a poison
and it would kill.  A lady I met ran into him many years ago and she said:
"He just kept saying over and over again - its a killer, its a killer,
its a killer."

How have they got away with it.  Monsanto funds Congress, Monsanto funds
the American Medical Association and the trade organizations.  They have
people in high places like a Supreme Justice.  There was no way to stop
them except for one MISSION, to warn every single person on planet earth
that aspartame can kill you, and that is the mission of MISSION POSSIBLE!
We have people who fly packets around the world to air traffic controls
to warn the pilots.  We have people who distribute information to
physicians, to schools, who write the articles.  We expose the
organizations that take money from Monsanto and push the poison.

And Mr. Burne, they can lie but the manufacturers like the pop people and
NutraSweet itself knows we got the goods on them.  And they back down.
Atlanta Georgia is the home of Coca Cola and the home of the Olympics.
We saturated this city with warning flyers and especially during the
Torch Route, and one of the men who ran the torch actually held up one of
our warning flyers for a picture!  Coke capitulated and refused to sell
or give out Diet Coke on the Coke Route.  It was rare to see a Diet Coke
here in Atlanta during the olympics.  We distributed a story I wrote
about Desert Storm and the next thing we know service stations were no
longer putting Diet Coke out in the sun, and some said: "We were told not
to by Coke".  They could have done that 13 years ago.  They have known
all along.  The National Soft Drink Association wrote a 30 page protest.

I hope this is the best article you ever wrote, write it as if millions
of lives depend on it because they surely do.  And if NutraSweet gives
you one of their lives get back in touch with me and I'll tell you the
facts or give you a journal number that proves the point.  And I'll send
you the Formaldehyde Olympics for a little laugh on how absurd their
propaganada can get.

1996 is our HANDS AROUND THE WORLD CAMPAIGN.  We are going to save the
babies, we're going to stop these young people from getting Alzheimers,
we're going to save the diabetics, etc., etc.  You've got aspartame in so
much products in your country.  One doctor said it was even in his frozen
curry there.  You and Dr. Millstone - please save the people of England!

Warm regards,
Betty Martini, Founder
