The Dangers of Aspartame

Aspartame is made up of three toxic chemicals:

1. Phenylalanine (50 %) - Phenylalanine decreases the amount of serotonin in your brain, which leads to mood swings, depression and an increased appetite.
2. Aspartic Acid (40%) - Aspartic Acid is a neurological toxin comparable to MSG.
3. Methanol (10%) - Methanol, also known as wood alcohol, a deadly poison.  In the body, methanol breaks down into formaldehyde, which passes freely through your blood brain barrier to cause brain damage.  The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recommends limiting consumption of methanol to 7.8 mg/day.  A one-liter aspartame-sweetened beverage contains approximately 56 mg of methanol.

Aspartame can be found in nearly 6000 products, such as, cereals, soft drinks, yogurt, breath mints, pharmaceuticals, supplements, multi-vitamins, artificial sweeteners (NutraSweet and Equal), sugar-free chewing gum, etc.

The Department of Health and Human Services has identified 91 symptoms associated with aspartame, the number 1 reported symptom being headaches, other symptoms include dizziness, mood changes, nausea and stomach pain.

Original Sun Ancon Chi Machine vs Rebounder

How the Original Sun Ancon Chi Machine compares with a Rebounder

When using the Original Sun Ancon Chi Machine you are experiencing the acceleration and deceleration of the body. The lymphatic fluid is going through the vessels and there is a one-way valve pushing and opening repeatedly like a hydraulic jack. Jumping on a rebounder causes the same type of action. When you are going up, the valves are closed. When you are coming down, the valves are opening, picking up more fluid, so whether you are jumping on a rebounder or getting on the Original Chi Machine you are going to move the lymphatics. The big difference however is this process happens automatically on the Original Chi Machine as you simply lay there.

Even though the overall effect of the Original Chi Machine versus the rebounder is comparable in generating body electricity, the Original Chi Machine is perhaps a safer choice for most. Fatigue or physical stress may result while using the rebounder and may be impossible for some, may experience dizziness, stress on the knees, back pain or painful joints. The Original Chi Machine supports health without energy loss, body stress, or effort. The Chi Machine is done while reclining and relaxed, with weight removed from the spine. source
