Comments (30)Nutrasweet has been inplicated in abnormal heart rhythms. "Statement of H. J. Roberts, M.D. Concerning Cardiac and CHEST Complaints Attributed to Aspartame (NUTRASWEET (R)) Many patients and correspondents have asked whether products containing aspartame can cause or aggravate symptoms relating to the heart, blood pressure and chest. Based on my experience, as detailed in multiple publications and books (see below), the answer is YES. Hundreds of such instances have been documented in my database of over 950 aspartame reactors. There was dramatic improvement after avoiding aspartame, and a prompt and predictable recurrence of these problems when the patient resumed aspartame products ... knowingly or inadvertently. ABNORMAL HEART RHYTHM More than 120 individuals experienced a detectable change in their heart rate and rhythm after consuming aspartame - including gum and products that did not contain caffeine. This included "fluttering", (palpitations) and rapid heart action (tachycardia). A number had even undergone heart monitoring (Holter testing) and other studies, especially for the associated weakness and faint. One patient developed a slow pulse and complete heart block within hours after consuming an aspartame drink for the first time. His attack spontaneously subsided within a day without a pacemaker; and there has been no recurrence.

Comments (15)Hi girls i am new to this web and not so new to the symptoms of perimenopause. Please excuse my typing but i am not a computer user! I would like to tell you all about my terror filled journey! I suffered from severe panic attacks for years then some depression I tried celexa for a couple of years then I felt asif I was better so got of that drug...it was no easy feat with brain tremors and all,but nothing compared to the "flat line" feelings and no sex drive whatsoever! Then all was going along until BLAM... I was blindsided with severe middle of the night wake up from sound sleep panic anxiety,flip flop palpitations!! I would lay there paralyzed with fear,I couldn't move. If igot up I felt chest tightness trembling felt like i would pass out and of course that i was dying! I kind of knew it was as panic attack but it started coming on every night around 3 am or so and that was the end of my sleep. I got scared to go to sleep so I went back to the DR. tests all negative for heart etc. I do have mitral valve prolapse diagnosed in my 20's I am now 50. She put me on xanax and that helped take the edge off the anxiety but I can't use tht all the time I refused to go on another antdepressant at which the DR. just shook her head. I modified my diet very strictly I now eat only fruits vegetables and whole grains and drink only water or seltzer I started taking calcium and magnesium (a blood test came back high for calcium?? has anyone ever heard of to much calcium in a womans body?)I also take some of every other vitamin known to man but yet I still had occasional bouts of racing heart and anxiety.Sometimes even appearing during the day so I could hardly work. Then I started exercising again and lo and behold I am cautiously opptomistic ,but so far so good.It has been a few days now (the calm before the storm?) but I am sleeping through the night and have eiter none or very light palps but no anxiety.I also am practicing deep breathing and relaxation exercises. This whole process is exhausting and frightening.I also have aaaaasthma and high blood pressure. I am on 2 meds for the BP none for the asthma except singulair. Wish I would have taken better care of myself as a young woman,seems I did every bad and wrong thing,now i'm paying the price! This website was the first time I haven't felt so alone. My Husband and kids are not very supportive and am glad to have found others who are also in the same wagon.Bless you all and feel free to answer me. stressed...See MoreStill having palpitations, after all these years.

Comments (15)Brownthumbia, honestly I haven't given any of our dogs olive oil but when I read your post above I wondered about it myself. Go back to Dan's post above and re-read the link he provided. I just did and there's information about olive oil for dogs. It may be that a whole olive isn't good for pets, maybe due to the pits, but I don't know for sure, but apparently olive oil is. Because of the size of your dog, I would go with less is best. I'm not a vet nor have any type of medical training so I do have to say that you should be careful when starting your furry kiddo on anything. They often have allergic reactions to different things just like we do. And other times whatever it is just doesn't agree with their tummies. We've been very lucky in the vets that we've had over the years. We did have one vet we didn't like (we went to him because our other vet had retired), which actually led us to the vet that suggested the fish oil. The other vet had one of our dogs so medicated that she could barely walk, much less get outside to go to the bathroom. All this for dry skin. He had never tested her for anything, just prescribed heavy duty drugs (which weren't cheap). I should have had a clue when he came into the room and told me to lift her up onto the tall metal table. Let's see...she was about 125-130 lbs., and I was all of about 98 lbs. (then...not so skinny now). Altho she hadn't been on the meds more than a couple days, we eased her off and took her to the new vet. Who, BTW, immediately got down on the floor to our dog's level. He was our vet for almost 20 years and the most wonderful, loving man with animals we've ever met. I guess the point that I'm trying to make is find a good vet who is more concerned about the health and well being of your furry kids then he is about the final billing total at the counter when you're getting ready to leave. Thank you for the tip about the eye droppers. My husband actually found some at the grocery store a couple days ago when he was looking for something else. Now if we can only remember where we saw the liquid fish oil. Jenna...See Morecatherinet
