As a friend and colleague of Dr. Betty Martini, D.Hum, Founder, Mission Possible International, I am happy to inform you that I will be a guest on this major program tonight, Wednesday morning in fact, on the largest listenership program in the world, Coast to Coast, hosted by the regular host, George Noory, with Betty Martini as the Prime Guest.
The first two hours of this massive 3 hour program are devoted to Attorney James Turner of Washington D.C., the renowned consumer protection lawyer, who, among many other great deeds, succeeded in getting the carcinogenic cyclamates removed from sale in the Nixon years.
The other major guest will be physician H.J. Roberts of West Palm Beach Florida, author of Aspartame Disease: An FDA Approved Epidemic, a 1038 page book from the point of view of an internist who has been working with Diabetics and the ghastly avoidable effects of the artificial sweetener aspartame for the past 27 years. Dr. Roberts was elected by his medical peers as the best physician in the United States, back in the early 80's; you may know of his wife, Carol, a Florida Democratic Party Official, who was one of the Election Board supervisors in Broward County, Florida, in the "hanging chad" controversies.
This should be a very stimulating evening. My main hope tonight is that ALL Obama supporters can get off of aspartame, if there are any who are, since it is metabolized as Methanol and Formaldehyde, and that Obama supporters will use their influence to carry through after the election to get a real consumer protecitonist appointed as FDA Commissioner.
My own personal nomination and hope would be for Dr. Howard Dean, M.D., to take such a position, or as US Secretary of Health, to whom the FDA Commissioner reports.
Although it is found in 9000 food and pharmaceutical products, despite it being metabolized as methanol, formaldehyde, and a witches' brew of poisons like brain tumor causing diketopiperazine, many corporations think nothing of adding it to their products, like Coca Cola, Wrigley's Gum, Pepsi Cola, Equal, etc. The world's largest manufacturer of Aspartame, Ajinomoto of Japan, is also the world's largest maker of yet another deadly neurotoxin, Monosodium glutamate. Aspartame's CEO is a Japanese Veterinarian who seems to be congenitally blinded to the harm it does to humans!
I wrote important legislation to ban aspartame for both the Hawaii and New Mexico Senate, which was overwhelmed by corporate lobbyists (eviscerated, might be the best word....) which led to a Hawaii Senate Concurrent Resolution 191, which genteely but firmly asked the FDA to rescind the approval for aspartame, and gave about 40 reasons to do so. It can be read at the Hawaii Legislature website, as SCR 191.
This resolution will be sponsored again in 2009 by Senator Suzanne Chun-Oakland in Hawaii, and by New Mexico Senator Gerald Ortiz y Pino. The corporate lobbyists will be out in droves and out for blood, this time....
Here is the Resolution (please take the time to read it):

If there are any questions or newly enthused activists who want to help with similar resolutions in their state, please let me know by email.
For Coast to Coast Subscribers, the show will be archived at their site, www.coasttocoastam.com, for about 90 days, and at that site, you can find which stations in your area carry it.
Best wishes, and I hope this all makes perfect sense to you and to President Obama, when it comes time to consider the health of hundreds of millioins of America. As James Turner will describe tonight, he essentially forced Nixon with the compiled evidence, to give a Presidential Order to get Cyclamates off the market.
This is the exact opposite from what Reagan and Rumsfeld did in 1981 to get aspartame approved, never mind that it had been turned down by the FDA as neurotoxic for the prior 15 years, from 1966 bto 1981. Google and read this: RUMSFELD'S BIOWEAPON LEGACY, to get to the grim truth about the most sordid chapter in the FDA's checkered history.
Respectfully,
Stephen Fox, Contributing Editor New Mexico Sun News
