New Aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic

This a definitive book (1038 pages) on reactions to aspartame, currently being used by more than two-thirds of the population as an additive/sweetener. Dr. Roberts is widely regarded as the expert on a host of adverse effects from popular products containing this synthetic chemical because of his many original observations and extensive research spanning two decades.

Physicians, other health care professionals, the media, consumer groups, and aspartame "victims" or their relatives have inundated Dr. Roberts with requests for a detailed analysis of this unique experience. They recognize that his dedication was not restrained by governmental or institutional policies and corporate grants...a remarkable achievement in contemporary medical and biological research.

The need for this volume is underscored by the virtual denial of aspartame disease (so named by Dr. Roberts) from the medical profession and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It meets the Koch-like criteria for a specific disease. Moreover, it has reached epidemic proportions - probably in the millions. The author presents information on the first 1200 aspartame reactors in his database.

Every physician probably encounters aspartame disease in practice, especially among patients with illnesses that are undiagnosed or difficult to treat. This applies to ALL fields of medicine and public health. It is apparent from a partial list of reactions: headache; dizziness; depression; convulsions; impaired vision; the aggravation of diabetes mellitus and its complications; hypoglycemia; multiple allergies (including dual sensitivity to MSG); aspartame addiction; chronic fatigue; eating disorders; pediatric problems. The numerous misdiagnoses include arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer's disease.

SWEET'NER DEAREST

BITTERSWEET VIGNETTES ABOUT ASPARTAME (NUTRASWEET®)*

Aspartame Disease has become a major medical and public health problem in the opinion of H. J. Roberts, M.D. More than 80 percent of complaints about foods and additives previously received by the FDA involved aspartame-sweetened products (FDA Consum er, October 1988). Over 7,300 enraged consumers have volunteered such problems to this agency -- including hundreds of persons with convulsions! They are duplicated in the author's data base of over 850 "aspartame victims."

The more frequent complaints attributed to this "most tested additive in history" include severe headaches, confusion, memory loss, depression, dizziness, insomnia, impaired vision or blindness, behavioral changes, nausea, abdominal p ain, bloody diarrhea, rashes, and even weight gain! Patients with hypoglycemia ("low blood sugar attacks") and diabetes are often adversely affected by using these "diet" products to avoid sugar.

Many regard Dr. Roberts as the foremost "aspartamologist" because of his extensive pioneering studies and publications in this field. He presents a clear overview of the problem with a minimum of medical and technical terms, coupled with scores of instru ctive experiences and humorous cartoons in SWEET'NER DEAREST.

Beatrice Trum Hunter, author of The Sugar Trap & How To Avoid It, commented: "With wit, charm and obvious medical expertise, Dr. Roberts informs and cautions the general public through these 'bittersweet vignettes.'"

DEFENSE AGAINST ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE

Alzheimer's disease is a relentless affliction of the brain. It destroys memory, undermines personality, and ultimately causes or accelerates death. No specific or effective treatment has been found for this escalating degenerative social and economic s courge of the 20th Century.

The pessimism extends to prevention largely because the cause of Alzheimer's disease has not been clearly defined. It involves more than "aging," heredity, or exposure to aluminum. Such pessimism is even more disturbing due to the fact that evi dence of the disease can be found 20-30 years (!) before memory problems develop.

The result: relatives and other concerned individuals search in vain for rational advice about hygiene, diet and other prophylactic measures that are grounded on understandable insights about the nature of this disease. They include numerous ne urotoxic "advances" associated with food processing, drugs, environmental chemicals, anesthesia, and even air travel.

H. J. Roberts, M.D. condenses decades of careful observation and considerable personal research in this unprecedented original contribution. He clarifies the nature and evolution of Alzheimer's disease, including early warning signs. Dr. Robert s also places important issues in clearer perspective. For example, "familial" is not necessarily "hereditary."

With a minimum of medicalese, Dr. Roberts lists and concisely explains the most likely "risk factors" and clues for Alzheimer's disease. Even though many are common, most physicians do not consider them in this context. An example is chronic unexplai ned fatigue.

Drawing upon this large body of observation and research, Dr. Roberts crystallizes a panoramic program of valid, albeit not guaranteed, prevention efforts before extensive and irreversible brain damage has occurred. These measures encompass nutr ition, the avoidance or minimizing of exposure to neurotoxic influences, and wise suggestions about living in contemporary society.

MEGA VITAMIN E: IS IT SAFE?

The enormous consumption of vitamin E by health-conscious Americans continues to escalate. This phenomenon represents both an act of faith and "seduction by authority." Physicians and "nutritionists" who preach the virtues of large doses of vitamin E for treatment and prevention emphasize the "virtual" absence of harmful side effects. Highly publicized reports of the purported value of vitamin E in preventing coronary heart disease have caused sales to skyrocket.

For a quarter century, H. J. Roberts, M.D. has described many clinical problems attributable to excessive vitamin E. Unfortunately, his warnings continue to be overlooked, ignored or suppressed by health professionals, researchers and the wellness press as the list of alleged indications lengthens.

Dr. Roberts presents the fruits of his extensive clinical observations and pertinent researches by other investigators with a minimum of medicalese. He discusses the nebulous concept of "free radicals" that is often used to justify taking vitamin E as an "antioxidant."

Dr. Roberts also elaborates upon the significant biological effects of vitamin E, the flawed protocols and omissions in many studies used for promotional purposes, the failure of physicians to ask patients who present with serious problems (for example, thrombophlebitis; hypertension; breast tumors) about vitamin E intake, and the widespread denial or trivialization of such problems.

The courage required of a corporate-neutral physician to expand on this controversial subject will be evident to readers. Frank Ray Rifkin (Publisher, Nutrition Health Review) wrote: "Dr. Roberts again disturbs a set of widespread myths and dogmas involving some popular nutritional practices. He properly raises reasonable doubt about the safety of Vitamin E in large doses, both for consumers and health professionals, on the basis of his pioneering observations and extensive research."

IS VASECTOMY WORTH THE RISK? 

A PHYSICIAN'S CASE AGAINST VASECTOMANIA

"I am still in misery. I would NEVER have had a vasectomy if I knew about your research!!" Many patients and correspondents have made comparable statements to H. J. Roberts, M.D. after reading his reports on the potential long-term complications of elective vasectomy.

Unfortunately, Dr. Roberts' warnings about this "simple" operation have not been heeded by the medical profession or contraceptive counselors ... especially the profound chronic immunological changes it induces. The result: millions of healthy young men in the United States continue to consent to vasectomy without having been fully and properly informed!

The problems associated with such wholesale male sterilization have been compounded by apathy and confusion. They can be attributed to denial by surgeons (who rarely follow their vasectomized patients for prolonged periods), the flawed research protocols of "scientific" epidemiological studies, the absence of this information in "Questions and Answers" pamphlets distributed to patients, the "anecdotal" criticism of adverse reports by observant doctors and patients, and advocates of zero population growth (ZPG) who vigorously endorse vasectomy.

Dr. Roberts summarizes and updates three decades of pertinent observations and extensive research for the general reader in IS VASECTOMY WORTH THE RISK? His studies were pursued without any governmental or institutional grant, thereby maintaining his professional autonomy and objectivity. Similarly, they have not been influenced by political, social or religious organizations having agendas of birth control and family planning.

The CCL News commented in its review: "Iatrogenic illnesses are physician-caused ailments. Dr. Roberts' pioneer studies have pointed to one of the largest of such epidemics ever produced -- vasectomy. We are fortunate to have a book like this. Modern medicine has not been geared towards following up the results of its own procedures ... It is a vitally necessary book for anyone contemplating vasectomy."
