Dr. Betty Martini - BIO
Mission Possible International...
Betty Martini is the founder of the worldwide volunteer force, Mission Possible International, which is committed to removing the deadly chemical aspartame from our food. This poison has brought more complaints to the American Food and Drug Administration than any other additive and is responsible for 75% of such complaints to that agency. From 10,000 consumer complaints FDA compiled a list of 92 symptoms, including death. They used to mail this list out, but now you can't get the list without a congressman or Freedom of Information Act request.
Betty had three children instead of a doctor's degree, but spent 22 years in the medical field. While working with a hematologist she supplied the CDC with reports on leukemia, which CDC said, were more than all the case histories submitted by the entire Emory University Hospital system combined, an indication of the low level of physician generated reports to the CDC. This reveals that only a small percentage of serious health threats are collected and statistically tabulated.
In l970 Betty Martini established a model for the nation by creating Physicians on Call, a network of five Emergency Care clinics in Atlanta, Georgia, staffed with medical doctors 7 days/24 hours. Services were without cost to the indigent. With a deep interest in traumatology she worked to build a trauma center in her mother's name, Eve Geller, who lost her life to breast cancer, but this did not materialize. She ran for Mayor of Atlanta in l973.
When she developed breast cancer she named the herbal formula that cured her for her mother. Now the FDA has started outlawing the healthful, life saving herbs. It is no wonder she calls the FDA the Fatal Drugs Allowed folks for approving deadly poisons and outlawing safe herbs needed for good health. She says when people send complaints to the FDA about aspartame shattering their life instead of concern they badmouth the safe herb Stevia. This herb could save the life of diabetics since it helps in the metabolism of sugar, and aspartame actually can precipitate diabetes, keeps blood sugar out of control, destroys the optic nerve, can cause diabetics to go into convulsions and interacts with insulin. Larry Hagman said of stevia:
"I am a diabetic and alive today due to Stevia, diet and exercise. I no longer have to use insulin. I would never use aspartame knowing how dangerous it is and having been declared a world epidemic."
At one time the FDA actually embargoed Stevia and the rumor is Monsanto wants to add a molecule so they can patent it, and sell it themselves.
In l993 she began Mission Possible International when she investigated what was disabling a family friend and discovered his multiple neurological symptoms were Aspartame Disease. He constantly drank diet sodas, which is #1 on the FDA list of aspartame disease causes. Soon Betty learned how generalized the devastation is since most Americans consume it and many are addicted to a substance that breaks down into methyl alcohol, formaldehyde, formic acid (ant sting venom) and a long list of other poisons including diketopiperazine, a brain tumor agent.
Three congressional hearings were held on aspartame and books by renowned doctors have exposed its hazards, but the public is lulled to sleep by constant advertising and the FDA seal of approval, even though the FDA themselves originally asked for indictment of the manufacturer. Both U.S. Prosecutors, Sam Skinner and William Conlon, hired on with the defense team and the statute of limitations expired. Betty decided to wake up the world. Using the Internet to create an international audience and enlist an army of activists she has sustained a constant campaign of expose greedy corporate poisoners who destroy our minds, our health, kill our unborn, disable our children and eliminate our sexual capacity and pleasure with a chemical poison so toxic the National soft Drink Association protested against its approval. Their blast was published in the Congressional Record, May 7, l985, S5505.
Betty speaks on nationwide radio hookups hundreds of times, sometimes on networks of 200 stations for hours on talk programs, answering all questions, forcing a fire hose of facts on corporate filth and corruption. A two week lecture tour in the UK received large articles in leading English and Scottish newspapers.
The campaign has created a groundswell repudiation of NutraSweet/Equal/DietCoke/Diet Pepsi and other asparpoisoned products. Results include the dissolving of the NutraSweet Company into three parts which were sold off so its parent, Monsanto, could be absorbed by Pharmacia Upjohn.
Five years ago Coca Cola was the most admired company in the world, now it wouldn't even make the list. Coke CEO Ivester resigned and his replacement Daft is in trouble as they constantly change top management. Her articles are constantly printed in newspapers and medical bulletins in many languages. Doctors from as far as Australia have pilgrimaged to Atlanta to be guests in her home and confer on a worldwide disaster that rivals nicotine.
Recently H. J. Roberts, M.D. published a 1,000 page medical text: Aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic, www.aspartameispoison.com which is the most comprehensive study of this world plague. In l984 Dr. Roberts was recognized by the national medical publication Practice 84 as the best doctor in the United States. He dedicated this book to Betty Martini. She has collected thousands of case histories and is recognized as an international authority on this world plague. An award winning website called DORway.com by David Rietz offers a river of aspartame facts with much of Betty's work.
Brain tumors, lupus, MS, seizures, horribly damaged infants and immeasurable damage to human dna desolating future generations, are the curses of aspartame. A July 2001 Canadian Conference on Mal- Mediated Developmental Toxicity attended by 130 scientists reported that 85% of human spermatazoa are damaged. The report gave us this comfort: "Fortunately for most couples it's the undamaged or least damaged sperm that tends to fertilize the egg."
"Worst of all," Betty says, "It's not a diet product. Aspartame defeats the brain's ability to detect serotonin so you crave carbohydrates. It makes most people fat! This entire travesty, this horrible atrocity against our poor human race is driven only by greed! greed! greed! And because of the damage to the hypothalamus some consumers suddenly drop dead (see Dr. Blaylock's paper on Aspartame, MSG and Other Excitotoxins And the Hypothalamus). This may be associated with recent sudden death of athletes."
Betty has a great interest in medical research and the consumer's right to know. She believes its despicable that the FDA, the manufacturers, and professional organizations it funds get away with lying to the public, not even acknowledging that aspartame is a drug that reacts with drugs they may be taking.
She has three grown children, two sons and a daughter who is a missionary. Her husband, Don, is an ordained minister. They perform this work as an expression of the neighbor love the Bible teaches, and have nothing to sell and no financial motives. Her work is a pure charity which she explains with this quote: "Deliver those being taken away to death and those staggering to the slaughter. O may you hold them back. In case you should say 'Look! We did not know of this' will not He that is making an estimate of the hearts discern it and pay back to earthling man according to his activity?" Proverbs 24:11

What you can do to get the effects reversed and out of your body!
The most important starting point of any detoxification program is to stop exposure to the toxin or toxins. This means avoiding even small amounts, since once sensitized to the toxin even minute amounts can produce full-blown toxicity. This is especially so with accumulative toxins, such as aspartame. It has been shown conclusively that the metabolic products of methanol breakdown, formaldehyde in particular, accumulates on the DNA and cellular proteins. Once you have cleansed your diet of the toxin, removal of the toxin and its metabolic products from your system will begin. Central to this process is the body's detoxification system, which exist in all cells of the body, with the bulk of detoxification taking place in the liver. The detoxification system is divided into two components called phase I and phase II, which work in tandem. Toxins pass through phase I and then pass to phase II where they are further detoxified and made water-soluble for eventual disposal. It is now known that you can significantly enhance the body's ability to detoxify these substances through the judicious use of specific supplements. Of the two systems phase II is most important and most often impaired.
The following is a list of nutrients that enhance detoxification:
Indole-3 carbinol-100 mg twice a day. This natural substance enhances phase II. It is extracted from cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, Brussel's sprouts and cauliflower. It can be purchased as an extract.
Taurine 500 mg a day- This is a sulfur-containing amino acid that is used by the liver for sulfonation reactions. It is to be taken between meals.
Milk Thistle (silymarin) 175 mg. Take two twice a day. This extract has been shown to substantially enhance liver detoxification and is also a very powerful antioxidant for all cells.
Curcumin- 500 mg three times a day with olive oil. This is an extract taken from turmeric. It is an extremely powerful antioxidant, enhances both phases I and II detoxification, is a radioprotectant, enhances bile flow, inhibits cancer growth, and is a very powerful anti-inflammatory. Also enhances DNA repair enzymes.
Panthethine 250 mg Take one capsule 3X a day- This vitamin is the enzyme form of pantothenic acid. It plays a vital role in enhancing the aldehyde dehydrogenase enzyme. (For formaldehyde detoxification)
Thiamine- 100 mg. Take three a day. (Vitamin B1) This vitamin plays a major role in protecting nerves as well as the brain. It is commonly depleted with pesticide exposure.
Pyrodoxyl-5 phosphate 50 mg- Take one a day. This is the functional form of vitamin B6. People exposed to chemical toxins frequently have low levels of this vitamin. When vitamin B6 is deficient, taurine is also low. It plays a major role in protecting against glutamate and aspartate toxicity.
In addition to detoxification, other nutrients play a more direct role in protecting cells and in promoting their recovery from toxicity. These include:
Magnesium- 750 to 1000 mg a day. (Magnesium citrate/malate) Magnesium plays a major role in cell protection, especially against excitotoxicty. In addition it protects against strokes and heart attacks.
Selenium- 200 ug a day. This mineral also plays a role in protecting cells from toxins, especially mercury. It plays a major role in protecting against free radicals.
N-acetyl L-cysteine (NAC)- 750 mg a day. This is a substance that in cells is converted to glutathione. Glutathione is your cell's major protection against free radicals produced by toxins such as aspartame.. In addition, NAC removes mercury. NAC also enhances detoxification.
Multi-"B" vitamins- This should be a multivitamins that contains 25 to 50 mgs of each of the B vitamins. The multivitamin should not contain iron. Take one a day.
Vitamin E (as mixed tocopherols) 400 IU twice a day. A powerful antioxidant, prevents heart attacks an stokes and the gamma-tocopherol is a powerful anti-inflammatory.
Vitamin C (as magnesium ascorbate) 2000 mg twice to three times a day. Plays a major role in cell protection against oxygen stress, protects the nervous system and enhances tissue repair.
CoQ10 100 mg twice a day. This is a major energy molecule and protects the brain against excitotoxicity.
DHA 200 mg a day. This is a component of omega-3-fatty acids. It plays a vital role in membrane repair and repair of synapses.
In addition to avoiding aspartame you must avoid other toxins as well. This includes MSG, pesticides, herbicides, bug sprays, fluoride, mercury, cadmium, aluminum and the many other toxins found commonly in the environment. Many of these toxins act synergistically, that is, when combined they have toxic effects that exceed their additive effects.
In addition, you need regular, moderate exercise (never aerobic), avoid soy products, cheese, and vegetable oils. Do not smoke or use drugs. All of these things increase free radical damage and prevent tissue repair. You should eat a diet high in vegetables and with some fruits, no sugar (or honey), moderate complex carbohydrates and pure water free of contaminants, including fluoride. Do not use fluoride toothpaste, mouthwashes or receive fluoride treatments. If you follow these principles you will notice quick recovery from your toxic encounter. More serious toxic encounters may take several months for recovery.
