Is It Lurking In Your Kitchen Cabinet
Are you addicted to artificial sweeteners, if so, what could be the harm effect onto your body?
The three primary artificial sweeteners currently in use are saccharin (Seet’N Low), aspartame (Equal, NutraSweet), and sucralose (Splenda). Advocates argue that the benefits provided outweigh the potential negative health effects. In fact, Aspartame increases appetite as well as body weight. It’s also known as a cancer-causing compound in rats. It’s composed of aspartic acid, phenylalanine, and methanol. It was approved for food use by the FDA in 1981. The brand names of Aspartame are: NutraSweet, along with Equal, Spoonful, Indulge, Equal-Measure, etc…
Aspartame kills brain neurons. Russell L. Blaylock, professor of neurosurgery at the University of Mississippi’s Medical Center, explains in his book Excito-toxins “The Taste That Kills” that though aspartame and glutamate (in the chemically related substance MSG) is a neurotransmitter normally found in the brain and spinal cord. When aspartame reaches certain levels it causes the death of brain neurons. The risk to infants, children, and pregnant women are higher because the blood/brain barrier, which normally protects the brain, is not fully developed until adulthood.
Dr. Blaylock and numerous other experts believe that long-term exposure to excito-toxins may play a part in diseases such as: Brain lesions and tumors, Early-onset Alzheimer’s Disease, Epilepsy, Hearing problems, Lupus, Memory loss, Multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson’s Disease.
Products contain Aspartame- Black list Aspartame
Beware of food products containing these words:
“Lite”, “Diet”, “Low-calorie”, “No calorie”
Among these are: Diet iced teas, Diet soft drinks, Crystal Light, Yogurt lite, Diet Jell-O, Some cereals, and Some children’s vitamins.
Health problems initially reported with Aspartame consumption
- Change in vision
- sleep problems/insomnia
- slurred speech
- Memory loss
- Brain tumors
- Comas
- Poor equilibrium
- Change in heart rate – heart palpitations
- Fatigue and weakness
- Joint pain
- Neurological/behavioral symptoms (67 percent), including headaches, dizziness, and mood changes such as depression and anxiety, seizure and convulsion -uncontrollable shaking
- Gastrointestinal symptoms (24 percent) including nausea and vomiting, abdominal cramps/pain and diarrhea
- Allergic type and/or dermatologic symptoms (15 percent) including hives and rash
- Alterations in menstrual patterns (6 percent)
- Migraine headaches are by far the most frequently reported reaction
Today, there are some 10,000 documented reports of adverse reactions to aspartame, including death. But since it is estimated only about one percent of people who experience a reaction report it, it is safe to assume at least a million people have had a reaction to this chemical.

Do You Also Need This?
We all are familiar with spring cleaning. After winter season, we clean in and around our houses-get debris out from our yard, fix any damage caused by winter storms, eliminate weeds getting the soil ready to grow beautiful flowers or grow produce…
This should not be any different to our body. How long can you stay without taking a shower? It varies from one individual to another, but of course not longer than a week or maximum two.
Have you thought of your inner body at all? Does it really need to be cleaned- I should say cleansed- and why?
In previous posts, you’ve heard me talking about your exposure to toxins and chemicals 24/7. For example, every time you inhale a perfume, apply hand moisturizer, shampooing your hair, filling your car with gas, eating conventional produce -sprayed with pesticides or herbisides-, using your cell, preheating your food in the microwave… your body absorbs all the available chemicals in these products and store them as body fat cells. Until your body reaches one point where it can’t handle a normal detox process anymore, then, a wide range of symptoms and conditions start to take place:
- Stuffy head
- Fatigue or difficulty sleeping
- Digestion and other gastrointestinal problems
- Food cravings and weight gain
- Reduced mental clarity
- Low libido
- and more…
So how do you determine your toxic load?

A Magic Pill
The human body is a self-healing mechanism. It has the ability to healing, repairing, and reconstructing itself, but only when you provide what it needs, clean air, purified water, and real food. Any symptom in the body would mean that something is not functioning well, a body system or an organ. Symptoms are the body language saying that your body chemistry is out of balance. This might be caused by improper diet, lifestyle, stress, inadequate digestion, liver congestion…
Today’s illnesses list has no end including migraine. This is because the body processes become so unbalanced that the standard potency of food is insufficient, lacks the required nutrients and minerals. Not only this, bad food socks the life out of your body; it needs all kind of nutrients from your body to get metabolize, but they give none in return…
We consume industrialized foods, processed foods, genetically engineered foods, and foods grown on depleted soil that has greatly reduced the availability of proper foods need to meet the body’s requirements. The result is the great need of consuming whole food concentrates over an adequate amount of time that is often necessary to correct the resulting deficiencies, promote healing, and return the body to a stage of homeostasis.
“Disease is not the presence of something evil but rather the lack of the presence of something essential” –Jensen, Bernard, D.C., Ph.D., and Mark Anderson, Empty Harvest: Understanding the Link Between Our Food, Our Immunity, and Our Planet
Two present day examples of commercially-produced foods that lack the nutrients found in their organic counterparts include the tomato and spinach: 1) One study revealed that commercially-produced tomatoes contain 1 mg of iron and 0-5mg of vitamin C, while organically-grown tomatoes have 1,938 mg of iron and 125-250 mg of vitamin C. 2) Commercially produced spinach contains 49 mg of iron; its organic equivalent contains 1, 584mg.
There might be a ‘magic pill’ to suppress a symptom that leads to side effects- new symptoms- keeping you running into a vicious cycle. But there’s a fact to overcome health symptoms/illnesses:
1- Bad out
2- Good in
3-Give me (the body) some time
Get your body chemistry or biological imbalance back and your body will have the ability to repair and heal itself overcoming any health problem including migraine.
Is Your Migraine Caused by EMF
Do you know that being electromagnetic field (EMF) sensitive can cause you a migraine without you knowing it? One of the symptoms is irritability.
As human we have no protection from the effect of the force of EMF like telecommunication, transmission lines, appliances, microwave, radar, satellite, TV, radio transmissions, cell phones…Long-term exposure to EMF waves causes biological effects. Some people experience similar symptoms others experience increasing in serum triglycerides, cancer cell growth, decrease production of dopamine, serotonin, and nor-epinephrine (neurotransmitters) in the brain; alterations in biological cycles; and increase chronic stress responses that lead to immune system deficiencies.
Although we have a very adaptable biological system when faced with overwhelming insults, our normal mechanisms begin to fail. These effects are magnified in people who already have impaired immune, endocrine, or nervous systems.
Here are 7 simple safety measures you can take to protect against low-frequency waves. Some of them are adapted from “Allergy Relief & Prevention” book by Frances Taylor MA, Jacqueline Krohn MD, Erla Mae Larson RN
1. During the day practice deep breathing exercise to stimulate the nervous system.
2. After a long period of time being exposed to EMF like working on your computer, using frequently a cell, watching T.V, … take a shower. Why? According to the doctor’s complete guide to treatment and self-care above, if you’re electrically sensitive, you’ll find that being near moving water is helpful because of the positive ion level of the air is high. You also, can find some relief if you can be nears a fountain, stream, lake, or ocean, since this is not possible for most people, an alternative would be to stand in a running shower. Even running water over our lower arms and hands a number of times each day can provide relief.
3. Go barefoot as much as possible.
4. When traveling by automobile, try to get out of the car and walk around every half-hour to have ground contact.
5. Keep your bedroom electrical appliances free. This will lower electrical exposure for at least eight hrs. of the day.
6. Use a screening shield to reduce the waves that emanate from your computer screen or use Smart Filter in your office.
7. Nutritionally, a couple of products are recommended to assist your body in strengthen the nervous system, keep it in balance- homeostasis, and to reduce and suppress EMF sensitivity symptoms down like stress out, anger, despair, intolerance to circumstances…
Remember, health always begins inside.
If you’re interested to learn more about how you can strenghten your body immune against EMF, I’ll be happy to assist you here.

Five Reasons Why You Should be Grateful This Year
- Relieve Stress: “Gratitude research is beginning to suggest that feelings of thankfulness have tremendous positive value in helping people cope with daily problems, especially stress,” Emmons said in a WebMD article.
- Become Happier and More Fit: People who keep gratitude journals tend to exercise more, feel better physically and be happier and more optimistic about their lives in general.
- Reach Your Goals: People who kept gratitude lists for two months were closer to achieving their personal goals than those who did not.
- Acquire a Sense of Well-Being: Grateful people report higher levels of positive emotions, vitality and life satisfaction and lower levels of depression and stress.
- Cope With Illness: Emmons found that a 21-day gratitude intervention produced more high-energy positive moods, a greater sense of feeling connected to others, more optimistic ratings of one’s life, and better sleep duration and quality in people with a neuromuscular disease.
“Being grateful is a boon to humankind, showering benefits on both your mind and body”- Robert Emmons, a psychology professor at the University of California
Davis and colleagues
