I went to my neurosurgeon today to get my pump filled. I took this with
me and read to him the parts about ASPARTAME DISEASE and apartame in
brain tumors. He had heard nothing about either.
He is at Barrow Neurological Institute(BNI) at St. Joseph's Hospital in
Phoenix. He did his residency there and did a Fellowship at Mass General
from 1976-1978.Three of his subspecialties are pain, epilepsy(brain
seizures) and tumors.
He is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons and a Fellow of the
American College of Pain Medicine(he is a charter member).
The BNI is known througout the world. The Queen of Saudi Arabia was ther
a few years ago for back surgery.
You cna see his profile at:

How many remember years ago about the fad of sniffing Sterno(wood
alcohol)? Yes, some people were harmed.
Sterno is still on the market. It is used for camping stoves. It is also
used to keep the food trays warm at buffets. When you open a can of
Sterno you can get a good whiff of the stuff. I am not a chemist, but my
guesstimate is the whiff contains a far more significant amount of wood
alcohol than a few cans of Diet 'Cola'.
It has been claimed that saccharin causes cancer.I can remember,
probably from the time I was 5(42 years ago), seeing my grandmother drop
2 "little white pills"(saccharin) in her coffee and I know she was doing
that many years before. She had at least two cups a day.She is still
drinking coffee with her "little white pills". She turned 89 last June.
Carbon monoxide is also poisonous. How many people on a nice day are in
rush hour traffic going at a snail's pace with their windows open?
Everyone reacts to chemicals differently.
My mother is asthmatic an has many allergies. Chocolate is one of them.
I also have some allergies. One of them is strawberries.
I met a lady about 3 months ago. She had worked for Jack-in-the-Box for
18 years. She couldn't eat the french fries. She was allergic to
potatoes! I had never heard of being allergic to potatoes.
