Subject: I live on Equal
Q: Comments: I live on Equal. I use it on tomatoes, fruit, oatmeal,
cold cereal, peanut butter, cream cheese, etc. I have been using
it
more than usual lately. I've been having problems. I have blurred
vision within 30 minutes of reading or being on the computer.
I
have problems getting to sleep. I have leg pain at night and
stiffness through the day. Can't remember things. Thought all
this
is old age creeping up on me, except my eyes. I was going to see
an eye doctor for this. I went to the eye doctor just last July
for new glasses, but I didn't have this blurred vision then.
A: Thank you for writing. I think your body has had enough of
the
toxins from the aspartame found in Equal. I think you will enjoy
reading my book, SWEET POISON, as you'll think you're reading
about
yourself. You are not crazy, even though the docs will lean that
way. It is the aspartame, and the body can only take so much of
a
daily dose of poison. It isn't too late to repair damage done,
but
I suggest getting off ALL aspartame and Equal, restoring any nutrients
the aspartame has depleted, and returning to a whole foods diet
with
lots of bottled spring water. There are specific nutrients for
the
eyes that will help repair damage, and let's hope your symptoms
completely disappear. Go to my newsletter archives and pull up
the
article plus Did You Know section for advice on eye vitamins.
Wishing you well, and good luck.

Subject: ADHD Stepson?
Q: I am going to get married in a few months and I will have
the
privilege of having a stepson. The only thing is, I am worried
about him, he is four years old and has demonstrated abnormal
behavior
for a few years now. They diagnosed him ADHD last month but his
dad
and I don't feel that it is. How can this test help? What exactly
will it provide? His dad asked the doctor if he could do one and
he said that it wouldn't determine anything. Can you please help?
A: Congratulations on your up-coming marriage. I hope your future
husband appreciates your open-mindedness in helping his son. How
lucky they both are to have you.
Have your fiancé go to the FAQs page on the hair analysis
site and
read some of the questions about 'why doctors don't do hair tests',
and 'should children with ADHD behavior have a hair test done?'
I
think this will make him feel better. Doctors don't know anything
about how to use a hair analysis unless they are in forensic medicine.
But, that's no excuse. Hair tests are wonderful tools that reveal
so much about the nutrition fueling the body. I surmise your stepson
is toxic from pregnancy or possibly from inoculations or environment
after birth. (I hope I'm not getting too personal, but these would
be
questions I'd ask if we were face to face.) If the child were
always
like this, then we are looking at a pregnancy issue, but if it
is
worsening over time, we're looking at inoculations or present
environment.
He's reacting to something in diet or school or home, like mold
or bad water.
I believe the hair analysis would be a good thing to have done
on
the young one. It might turn his health around now instead of
when
he's 18 and really toxic and rebellious. The docs want to get
them
addicted to medications - it's a long-term investment for them
at
the expense of the child. Also, go to my sweetpoison.com site
on
the dangers of aspartame and children, especially those with ADHD
symptoms.
This can be helped tremendously through nutrition, and any good
doctor
would be open to that possibility. After all, it's all for the
benefit
of the child - as a parent, I'd try everything to see what works,
and
I'd change pediatricians.
I hope this is of help.

Subject: rheumatoid arthritis
Q. I write to you in regards to my sister in law. She has consumed
diet coke everyday for the past ten years. Recently she was diagnosed
with rheumatoid arthritis. Her symptoms were very painful walking,
joint pain, etc. The Dr's had no idea what was wrong with her.
But
they determined that her rheumatoid numbers were high and they
diagnosed her. However, after learning about aspartame, I can't
help but wonder if this is the cause of her rheumatoid numbers
being
high. Is this possible?? Does aspartame-poisoning mimic rheumatoid
arthritis? Please advise me at your earliest convenience. Thank
you
very much.
A: I am so glad you emailed me, and what a good sister-in-law
you
are. Yes, yes, and yes!!! Aspartame can mock rheumatoid for many
different reasons. It increases the body's pH (acidic) levels
so
the nutrients never make it to the bone, as the body is too acid.
It also destroys the natural body balance of bone nutrients due
to
the methanol levels. Methanol breaks down into formaldehyde -
embalming
fluid. This is not good for the bones. And, if she has been
drinking that much daily, it has accumulated within her body and
created this reaction. I would suggest having her read SWEET POISON,
and if this doesn't open her eyes, we'll try another approach.
But,
I think she'll see herself in my book, and will understand what
aspartame is doing to her body. Once off the aspartame, I would
put her on an alkalizing nutritional program and detox program.
I think she'll be a new person - thanks to you!!
Wishing you both the best.

Subject: Residue In My Hair
Q: I'm having a problem with residue in my blond hair. The issue
has stumped our town's water dept who has tested our water several
times and my hair stylist. I've tried all kinds of products, but
still get a terrible build up on my hair. Even a water softener
and carbon filter on the showerhead have had little effect.
I'm hoping a hair analysis will answer the questions about what
is
on my hair and causing the problems of a greenish hue, incredible
tangles and unhealthy look hair.
Since I don't have this problem when I shower outside of the home,
I think it's more of an external issue. Can you help?
A: It sounds as if an environmental toxin is present. Any mold
in the house or at work? Anything ambient from upwind factories
and the like? New commute route? It must be an external source
of some kind. Yet, if you have mercury or another toxin that is
close to the scalp, such as leaking teeth, this might be trying
to
escape via the closest pores - head skin.
Yes, I think a hair test will be most prudent. It never hurts
to
know what's going on within deep tissue. It shows things doctors
can never see from traditional testing. Go to my new site about
hair testing at http://www.hairanalysisprogram.com and see if
this
answers more questions.
Wishing you the best.
To Your Health,
Janet Hull
