Subject: Parkinson's Disease Patient -- Schwarz Pharma is cruel!
Dear All,
I am a new poster: thank you for being here.
Recently I discovered that I had been taking ASPATAME in my PD
medication!!
I have since stopped the medication -- yet am having very bad tremors
and major headaches and nausea...
Why did SCHWARZ Pharma
put a known NEUROTOXIN in "PD" meds?
go read http://www.paracopa.com
it does not say aspartame!
it says "Phenylalanine"...
I am ill already and I did not need this...
my detox is very hard for me,
if you are or know a PD patient, tell them -- please

I was given this drug for Parkinson's disease about 6 months ago by my
neurologist -- after having extreme headahes and nausea,
for much too long --
I called the pharmacy -- for it was not labled
with any warning label of any kind?
The pharmacy said -- yes it contains aspartame!
I am having very bad withdrawl from this very -- UNACCEPTABLE practice... --

Help Get Moving with PARCOPA
A Proven Drug in a New Delivery System
Welcome to http://PARCOPA.com, a website designed to provide
patients and their healthcare professionals with information about
Parkinson's disease
and PARCOPATM (carbidopa-levodopa orally disintegrating tablets).
PARCOPA benefits from the innovative RapiTabTM technology.
These orally disintegrating tablets dissolve rapidly on the tongue.
They can be taken any time, anywhere with or without water.
PARCOPA has all the benefits of carbidopa-levodopa
in an orally dissolving formulation.
If you are currently taking Sinemet® (carbidopa-levodopa) Tablets, you
should know that PARCOPA is a therapeutic alternative to Sinemet® Tablets.
It is available in the same strengths as Sinemet® Tablets.
Your doctor can prescribe PARCOPA using the same dosing and
administration schedules as Sinemet® Tablets.
This site is not intended to take the place of your healthcare professional.
He or she is always your best source of information. Ask your doctor if
PARCOPA is right for you.
Each 10/100 mg and 25/100 mg tablet contains phenylalanine 3.4 mg;
each 25/250 mg tablet contains phenylalanine 8.4 mg.
[ That's 6.8 and 16.8 mg aspartame,
about 20 % and 50% of a pack of Equal, 37 mg aspartame. ]
Most common side effects with PARCOPA include involuntary
movements and nausea.

A copy of my faxed letter:
To -- Governor Bill Richardson
Office of the Governor
490 Old Santa Fe Trail Room 400 Santa Fe, NM 87501
fax: (505) 476-2226
1/9/2006
To the Honorable Governor Bill Richardson,
I, Christena Parisoff, ask you please,
do not allow the aspartame vote to be done away with,
this toxic chemical is a poison and is in blue packets for unsuspecting
people to use to sweeten their foods, also known as NutraSweet/ Equal,
and this toxic sugar is added to many foods with out any warning labels
of of any kind.
Many foods on shelves in Grocery stores that are misleading and
detrimental to the state of New Mexico's health, and in the greater
picture our Nation and World.
Aspartame is a detriment to my once good health. After an exposure to
excititoxins, which has a exact correlation to several neurodegenerative
illnesses and my Parkinson's Disease.
I was an avid Diet Pepsi drinker -- I stopped drinking it because of the
warnings I heard that it caused severe reactions in some people including
severe headaches, of which I was having after drinking the product.
I was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease after three long years of
severe shaking, and the doctors said at 29 in 1991 -- I was too young
for that older persons illness.
Finally, after much testing including an M.R.I I was diagnosed with the
neurodegenerative illness in 1994,
that has not been cured by pharmaceutical drugs.
I am now 43 -- my life has changed dramatically by the effects of a poisoned
world, and medications I need to live and function somewhat
normal. I have a young son, I love very much.
Many young onset friends of mine -- I being one, went to
Washington DC, in 2000 to speak to congressman and senators,
at the asking of Michael J. Fox and Joan Samuelson of P.A.N.
While in DC, I made a strong contact with a great man --
Congressman Lane Evans, an Illinois Representative,
who was also diagnosed "a Young Onset Parkinson's patient".
Congressman Evans is also a Marine and Veteran of Foreign Wars
and very concerned with Gulf War Syndrome and PTSD --
Post traumatic stress disorder,
that is a great concern to our soldiers who have been victimized
by aspartame.
Congressman Lane Evans is in an our award winning Parkinson's disease
documentary -- called -- "In Search of a Champion" -- along with many
of my friends who have this illness.
www.pwnkle.com/champion.htm
the url above is an online version that may be viewed -- free --
also with hope and expectations for cures, Congressman Evans invited
me to meet with President Clinton at the White House in 2000,
with Dr. Greg Gerhardt,
to speak about funding Parkinson's Disease Research
for cures, through the Morris K Udall Centers of Excellence.
One New Mexico's finest Representatives.___________

Food Pollution
25 of 47
Abstract
Food can influence the human body in many ways, both positively and
negatively. Several key elements of contemporary food cultivation and
production are presented, along with their potential consequences to our
health. The history of food cultivation and consumption is contrasted
between early hunter-gatherer societies and modern day societies.
Natural nutrient-rich foods produced from the soil in early societies have
been replaced with artificial supplements and treated with pesticides and
herbicides to control plant disease.
The evolution of pesticides is chronicled from the synthesis of DDT
in 1870 to present day.
Several commonly used chemicals are described along with their
documented side effects.
A number of methods of pest control from ancient to modern day
are offered as alternatives to polluting chemicals.
Integrated pest management is proposed as a promising, economically
feasible method of pest management, reducing pollution and risk to
wildlife and human health.

ABSTRACT
CITATION ALERT
CITED BY
RICHARD J. TREVINO
Please -- do not allow this letter of extreme concern for the innocent
children who are exposed to aspartame in hundreds of children's
pharmaceutical and over the counter medications, and in the diet drinks
their parents consume and share with their children out of the lack of
knowledge, and the blind faith we have put in the FDA.
Governor Richardson, please put the aspartame ban bill on your call to
the Legislature of the State of New Mexico...
By doing this you will be opening the door for many states to follow you
and heal our nation from this poison -- called Aspartame.
Thank You, Sincerely,
a Parkinson's Disease Advocate for cures,
Ms. Christena Parisoff

Any unsuspected source of methanol, which the body always quickly
and largely turns into formaldehyde and then formic acid, must be
monitored, especially for high responsibility occupations, often with
night shifts, such as pilots and nuclear reactor operators.
In particular, the next review gives many recent mainstream
peer-reviewed studies that show formaldehyde,
always inevitably derived in the body from any methanol source,
including aspartame, causes endothelial injury,
ie, diabetic neuropathy -- among the most serious and complex
complications of diabetes.

As a medical layman, I suggest that evidence mandates immediate
exploration of the role of these ubiquitious, potent formaldehyde
sources as co-factors in epidemiology, research, diagnosis,
and treatment in a wide variety of disorders.
Folic acid, from fruits and vegetables, plays a role by powerfully
protecting against methanol (formaldehyde) toxicity.
Many common drugs, such as aspirin, interfere with folic acid,
as do some mutations in relevant enzymes.
The majority of aspartame reactors are female.

Dark wines and liquors, as well as aspartame, provide
similar levels of methanol, above 100 mg daily, for
long-term heavy users, 2 L daily, about 6 cans.
Methanol is inevitably largely turned into formaldehyde,
and thence largely into formic acid.
It is the major cause of the dreaded symptoms of "next
morning" hangover.
Fully 11% of aspartame is methanol -- 1,120 mg aspartame
in 2 L diet soda, almost six 12-oz cans, gives 123 mg
methanol (wood alcohol). If 30% of the methanol is turned
into formaldehyde, the amount of formaldehyde, 37 mg,
is 18.5 times the USA EPA limit for daily formaldehyde in
drinking water, 2.0 mg in 2 L average daily drinking water.
