Panacea was supposed to be a remedy that would cure all diseases and prolong life indefinitely. Over the centuries people have looked for the universal medicine.
They never find the one, but some herbs or mixtures of herbs, as well as the products of plants or animals, may be named the all-heal.

Aspartame
Aspartame (or APM, a.k.a., E951, Tropicana Slim, Equal, NutraSweet, Spoonful, Canderel, Benevia, Equal Measure, etc.) is the name for an artificial, non-carbohydrate sweetener made of:
1.) aspartic acid (around 40%)
2.) phenylalanine = PKU (around 50%), a known tumor agent
3.) methanol = wood alcohol (10%) = poison
For over eight years, the FDA refused to approve aspartame because of the seizures and brain tumors this drug produced in lab animals. In 1981 President Reagan forced FDA to approve aspartame.
APM is commonly used in diet soft drinks and is provided as a table condiment in some countries. It is also used in some brands of chewable vitamin supplements and common in chewing gums (eg. Dentyne, Eclipse, Extra, FreeDent, Ice Breakers, Orbit, Stride, Trident,...). Aspartame is also one of the sugar substitutes used by people with diabetes. It keeps the blood sugar level out of control, causing many diabetics to go into a coma.
Aspartame appears to cause slow, silent damage in those unfortunate enough to not have immediate reactions and a reason to avoid it. It may take one year, or even 40 years, but it seems to cause some reversible and some irreversible changes in health over long-term use.
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Memorandum includes the list of 92 aspartame symptoms and health conditions reported by physicians and consumers, including death.

We Are a Part of Nature
Long, long time ago people were a part of nature; and utilized nature. There was no need for synthetically produced antibiotics, steroids and hormones to maintain good health and youthful look. Herbs were used to aid with the treatment of diseases. Illnesses and premature death were rarely seen, only in cases of cataclysms. So long ago, yet the eldest of us remember these times.
Currently food production is supported by the newest technology. Impressing, it’s inexpensive, and generally accessible. What was advertised yesterday as safe and healthy today turns out to be deadly. We eat, but we don’t nourish ourselves. We are malnourished, yet overweight. We live longer, but we are faced with illness at early age. This is the price we pay for straying from nature. Herbs have been around since the beginning of time, are here now, and will remain here. Western medicine, upon the patient’s request, is starting to allow herbalism and acupuncture as complementary treatment. Those, who have never stopped believing in the power and effectiveness of herbal healing, search out herbs in ecologically unpolluted parts of the world.
