ASPERTAME I GARDEN CULTURE I received an email from a friend about the passing of what I consider to be an American hero. He never carried a gun, or fought in a foreign land, but he worked tirelessly until the end of his days fighting to tell the truth, to expose aspartame for what it is... poison. His mission to rid our food supply of dangerous chemicals such as MSG and aspartame was for you, your family, and the whole world. I had a chance to speak to Dr. Martini, one of Dr. Olney’s long time colleagues and friends. She wrote the following letter…
Dr. John Olney passed WE KNEW IT away on April 14, 2015 at WAS POISON, the age of 83. A professor AND WE DID of psychiatry, pathology, EVERYTHING and immunology at the WITHIN OUR Washington University POWER TO School of Medicine, KEEP IT OFF he was known for his THE MARKET, work on brain damage BUT IT WAS research. He coined the term excitotoxicity in his TAKEN OUT OF OUR HANDS 1969 paper published in Science. Neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock, M.D, wrote the book, “Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills”. In 1996 he was elected to the Institute of Medicine of the United States National Academy of Sciences. He has campaigned for greater regulation of monosodium glutamate (MSG), aspartame, and other excitotoxins for over 20 years. It was Dr. Olney, and Attorney James Turner who tried to prevent the approval of aspartame. In his 49 page document to the Board of Inquiry of the FDA. The document shows the additive effect of MSG and aspartame to be disastrous. Read it: www.bit.ly/fda-doc At the time, the FDA agreed with Dr. Olney. They originally tried to have the manufacturer, G. D. Searle, indicted for fraud, but both U.S. prosecutors hired on with the defense team, and the statute of limitations expired. The FDA then revoked the petition for approval (www.bit.ly/revoked-petition). At an expo some years ago someone who had worked for the FDA said, “we knew it was poison, and we did everything within our power to keep it off the market, but it was taken out of our hands. Your argument is with Don Rumsfeld who G. D. Searle used to get it on the market.”
G. D. Searle was excising brain tumors from rats (aspartame breaks down to diketopiperazine, a brain tumor agent), putting them back in the study, then when they died resurrected them back on paper. 1. FDA Toxicologist and Task Force member, Dr Adrian Gross stated (Wilson l985): “They (G.D. Searle) lied, and they didn’t submit the real nature of their observations, because had they done that it is more likely that a great number of these studies would have been rejected simply for adequacy. What Searle did, they took great pains to camouflage these shortcomings of the study. As I say filtered it, and just presented to the FDA what they wished the FDA to know, and they did other terrible things for instance animals would develop tumors while they were under study. Well they would remove these tumors from the animals.” 2. An FDA Toxicologist explained why their experiments were invalidated: “It is highly unlikely the FDA Investigative teams found all of the problems with G. D. Searle’s studies. Searle seemed so intent on covering up their misconduct, that it is quite likely that they were able to hide many of the problems from the FDA.” Dr. Olney was so upset with the fraud that he insisted Searle do their studies in his lab where he could oversee them. Indeed, aspartame was found to cause brain damage, so he thought it would not be approved. He did not know that Searle failed to tell the FDA. In the movie, “Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World” you can see Dr. Olney. Here is a clip with Attorney James Turner explaining about Rumsfeld: www.bit.ly/rumsfield-clip. Rumsfeld said he would “call in his markers” and get aspartame on the market. He was on President Reagan’s
