Subject: pH and infertility
Q: Dear Dr. Hull,
I have been trying to discover if there could be a connection
with pH balance and unexplained infertility. My physician has
not been able to assist me with this question, nor have any
of my physicians been able to diagnose the reason for my
infertility.
I never thought about pH until reading an article recently
about pH balance and diet. I am almost 42 and realize that
time is running out but thought this would be worth
investigating. Any information you may have on the subject
would be greatly appreciated.
A: You may have some toxins deposited within the uterine
area that can block egg/sperm connection. pH can make a
difference if you're too acidic in the blood as well. Buy some
pH strips from the drug store and test your urine every
morning first thing. Normal body pH is 6.4. Nutritional clays,
green drinks like Barley Green(r) and Nature's Fuel from
Wellness & Renewal, and a vegetarian diet can increase body
pH. You can also buy pH drops at the health food store. Test
your pH before you buy any of these products, though.

Subject: Related Aspartame Symptoms
Q: I would be interested to know if you have run across
anyone who exhibited symptoms like I have. I'm a 52 yr
old male, 6'3", 230 lbs & love Pepsi One & use NutraSweet
in my coffee. Several years ago I began to experience pain
in my joints, especially in my legs. I've been to various Dr's
who thought I had to have some sort of arthritis because of
my age, however, x-rays & various blood tests don't show
anything. A friend has almost the exact symptoms but much
worse. He even went to the Mayo Clinic without any luck.
There is a clinic here in Minnesota that deals with toxification
and they indicated they had some connections with diet pops
that were exposed to excessive heat. Something about
changing the chemical composition within the soft drink that
has shown some connections with sore joints. This got me to
think about this and then I saw your advertisement in a paper
in an airport.
Have you come across anything like this and would your book
provide some help.
A: Yes, Sir. Aspartame is connected to arthritis symptoms,
joint pain (I have many male patients who complain of pain
in their feet upon waking), Carpel Tunnel symptoms, and low
back pain. These symptoms disappear when all aspartame is
removed form the diet. Not only do colas rob the bone and
muscle fibers of calcium and water, but they increase the
acidic level of tissues. Diet colas add to the toxins by leaving
residues of formaldehyde, formic acid, CO2, and on and on
and on....
My book, Sweet Poison, is a textbook for aspartame history,
research reports, and case histories. It'll really inform you
of the facts.
What magazine did you see info about my book? Just curious.
I never know where my work will show up -
Q: I found a small classified in an airport newspaper in St.
Paul. Question, those who had similar symptoms as me, how
long did it take before finding a significant change?
A: When all aspartame is removed (and check for hidden
aspartame in products not labeled sugar-free) and then
depleted nutrients restored - it takes about 14 to 30 days
before symptoms begin to disappear. Energy should return,
proper emotional responses, and the like. If you do not see a
marked improvement, you may have some toxins remaining
or more damage than visible. Give it more time, but your
health should restore in time.
Hope this helps. Good luck and good health.

Subject: Assistance
Q: I got your name and information from two of my clients.
One of whom you've treated. Last Nov. I was diagnosed with
Graves disease. My right eye protrudes 5 mm further than my
left eye, which hasn't changed. I did have high thyroid numbers,
but not terribly, and also suffered no symptoms. I'm on a small
dose of medicine, and it is bringing my numbers down, but they
tell me my eye won't go back to normal and could grow again
anytime. I drink approximately one diet drink a day.
Sometimes going months without any. Then one a day for a while.
I have no other symptoms that I know about, such as fatigue,
headaches etc. Could I honestly have this poison? I appreciate
any info you can share. Thank you.
A: Thank you for your e-mail. I feel you can be helped by
getting off ALL aspartame. I think you would enjoy reading
my book, Sweet Poison, as it will answer all your questions and
more. Aspartame is creating more and more cases of thyroid
problems, and I am seeing specific cases of Graves Disease
disappear when removing aspartame and restoring the nutrients
it depletes from the body. Your eyes should return to normal
when your thyroid condition does - mine did !!!
I hope this helps. Good luck with your quest for answers.

Subject: Aspartame questions (two questions)
Q: What are the early symptoms of aspartame poisoning?
A: headaches, restless sleeping, weight gain, emotional mood
swings and irritability
Q: In your research, have you found aspartame to cause
particular problems in diabetics? For example, does it
amplify the symptoms of diabetes?
A: Absolutely. The components of aspartame are not meant
to be ingested individually, and the methanol is not meant
to be ingested EVER by animals. These ingredients create
an imbalance within glycogen metabolism beginning in the
brain, filtering down through the hormone centers such as
the thyroid gland, and affecting the insulin signals for
proper insulin production. Aspartame interferes with
carbohydrate metabolism, which also affects blood sugar
levels. Aspartame also interferes with proper digestion and
elimination by decreasing body pH levels to be highly acidic.
All this contributes to abnormal metabolism and carb.
assimilation, which affects insulin. Adult Onset diabetes
worsens with a diet filled with aspartame, and Insulin
Dependant diabetics worsen as their carb metabolism and
digestion are seriously impaired anyway. If they are 'living'
on diet drinks, etc. they are not getting enough water nor
proper nutrients as a safe bet. So, they worsen matters by
feeding their bodies junk nutrition full of chemicals rather
than helping improve an already volatile situation.
Stay away from any aspartame - it isn't worth it!
To Your Health,
Janet Hull
