Leslee contacted the Hullistic Network sharing her experiences with Splenda. I asked if we could include her story in this month's Healthy Newsletter. Her reply:
"By all means, include my story - all or any part of it - in anything or anyway you wish. The word needs to be spread and I would like to be a part of that. Yes, my symptoms have disappeared. My HUGE abdomen has subsided to nearly a normal size. Before I stopped using the Splenda, it was the size of a 7-month pregnant woman. I was swollen all over. I will email you a before and after picture within the next few days. You will be amazed at the difference after only a week without this poison.
Do you know if any one has done any kind of special program dedicated to aspartame or Splenda poisoning ... i.e, Oprah, 60 Minutes, etc??
I am so elated to be nearly back to normal but I have so much anger after all the suffering I did. I have done additional research and discovered more than one article indicating that aspartame can cause ovarian/uterine tumors. I wonder how much a jury would think mine were worth?? I never had any health problems at all until I began to use artificial sweeteners. How very sad to think many people will go through life feeling as I did and not have a clue why. That's why I want to help in any way I can to reach everyone!
Below is my history:

There is no warning on the box of Splenda - in fact, the box claims it is 'suitable for the whole family.'
Would you know where or who to contact to start lobbying to get this poison taken off the market? I have been suffering from Splenda poisoning for 2-3 years."
Thank you
