To the Honorable Rep. Josh Green, M.D: BANNING ASPARTAME.

Please read about my unusual case!

You might wonder why I am sending you this message since I am so far away from HAWA. Yes France is far away but here ASPARTAME kills everyday children from birth to elderly people! Simply because all scientific reports are in English and that most of the French population can't read English and is unaware of the dangers of neurotoxic food additives.

Well back in September 1993 as I just got married "for better and for worse" in the UK with "the man of my life", we spent our honeymoon in HAWA For about three weeks! After this we were supposed to have many children and to be happy for ever! My husband had made a wish to return to your beautiful state for our 10th anniversary with our children but we never did!

You might think: +Where is the link with ASPARTAME? ; Well as I got pregnant 1994, I found out about food additives dangers with a small pocket guide aimed to parents to be, to help them to get a beautiful and healthy baby! I used this guide for 11 years to be able to shop and to read the labels and ingredients lists! BUT ASPARTAME was not into this guide. Little by little my husband started consuming more and more aspartame products like protein powder mix, yogurts, sugar free gums and diet drinks, telling me that I was crazy to spend my time reading the labels....We got a little girl in 1995 and another one in 1998; her second name is even "ALOHA" for "love and friendship" in HAWA as you know!

I was cooking everything myself to avoid all toxic food additives. My husband was working away most of the week and using massive amounts of aspartame products "to keep fit"!

With time, as he was drinking more and more diet drink and protein drinks too, he put weight on, lost all his hair (aged 30), got chest pain, nose bleed, many digestive disorders, jerking of the limbs at night, noose bleed, cramps in one foot for four years, hearing loss, eyesight problems, skin reactions, insomnia and headaches.. He put weight on but pretended that it was muscles! Then by 1999 he became violent toward our eldest daughter, always at dinner time! Then he got paranoid and started to have obsessive disorders, life became HELL! The wonderful time we had in HAWA was far away! My husband became a monster!

The situation got so bad that I had to ask for divorce! It took a long time and my husband moved out, only eating Aspartame and junk food products every day, he got worse every months. In 2003, just a few months before our divorce my step mother in France died of a massive brain tumour and nearly blind after months of agony, aged 48. Then as I gave my food additive guide to a member of my family, I ordered another copy. And after 16 years of publication, there was the very first update within four pages. YES, it was all about ASPARTAME and MSG! I was deeply shocked as I found out that aspartame could trigger sudden rages, obesity, insomnia, eyesight problems and more! I realised why the children and myself went through HELL for so many years!

WITHOUT KNOWING ABOUT ASPARTAME!

I decided to travel after my divorce and to meet the author of the food additives guide: Mrs Belinda BARNES ( http://www.foresightpreconception.org/index.html ). She was pleased to meet me and we agreed that I would update her booklet ("FIND OUT") and that I could write my own pocket guide about food additives in French and other languages and that "it would be my baby"!

I moved back to France in 2004 with my children and we quickly realised that aspartame was a national plague! I learned that my step mother had used aspartame for 15 years before dying of her brain tumour aged 48! I started working on my book and organised some conferences about aspartame in France back in 2005. My own food additives guide was published on the 15/02/06! I was so pleased! As it was small easy to read and cheap, it got sold by thousand's very quickly (12,000 the first three months!) and my children were very proud and happy! But in April 2006, I suddenly lost the custody of my children because I was feeding them with organic food and without any Aspartame or MSG! They were forced to go abroad with a dangerous but wealthy father and against their will! Today I am still trying to get them back before it's too late. They are only 9 and 12!

But I WANT YOU TO KNOW that I met nearly 3000 aspartame victims in France (suffering from 2 to 55 sides effects of aspartame poisoning and aged from 15 months old to 92 years old), after more than 20 conferences, 6 radio shows, 61,000 copies of my food additives pocket guide sold within 24 months, 14,000 in Dutch since October 2007, I receive hundreds of letters and Emails from aspartame victims from all over Europe, my readers are aged 6 to 90! I met Betty MARTINI in 2006 and I have been a volunteer for MISSION POSSIBLE INTENATIONAL for 4 years! I met Pr ALEMANI in Barcelona (Spain) and Pr Morando SOFFRITTI in 2007. I contacted Dr Russell BLAYLOCK, Dr Ralph WALTON and Dr HJ ROBERTS, Mark GOLD, Cori BRACKETT and JT WALDRON, I do know that they did contact you as well and YOU CAN'T IGNORE THEIR LETTERS AND EXPERTISE. It is simply IMPOSSIBLE.

ASPARTAME DESTROYED MY CHILDREN INFANCY FOREVER LIKE MILLIONS OF FAMILIES AND LIVES ALL OVER THE WORLD, FOR MORE THAN 25 YEARS! YOU CAN HELP TO STOP THIS CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY!

I AM IMPLORING YOU TO TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PEOPLE FROM THIS DEADLY FOOD ADDITIVE AND TO BAN IT FROM YOUR STATE, AS "YOUR PARADISE" COULD BE TRANSFORMED INTO "HELL", BECAUSE OF THIS NEUROTOXIC SWEETENER. PLEASE DO NOT LET YOUR PEOPLE DOWN.

This ban will help other countries to ban Aspartame too, PLEASE LET IT BE! Do it for the future generations! "MAHALO" & "ALOHA"

The Spirit of Aloha as Law

Aloha Spirit is considered a state "law." Although the word law sounds too strong and strict, Aloha Spirit is not such a type of law that will get you in trouble if you break it. Its main purpose is to serve as a reminder to government officials while they perform their duties to treat people with deep care and respect, just like their ancestors did. Aloha Spirit is more a lesson than a law.

By learning and applying this lesson to real life, government officials can contribute to a better world, a world filled with aloha.

Dr Josh GREEN and all person concerned in HAWA , DO NOT FORGET THIS.

MAHALO! (THANK YOU)
