Guest guest Posted May 7, 2002 Report Share Posted May 7, 2002 I have, over the last month, experienced a burning sensation inside my upper arm (tricep). The muscle itself is not tender or sore to touch or in use - yet this burning sensation is temporarily relieved when using analgesic creams. The sensation feels as though the skin is scraped and slightly raw, but there is no sign of skin involvement. Does this sound like a problem with muscle or nerves? I can tell you, it is "getting on my nerves" and creating slight anxiety! Any help appreciated! Thanks, Deb James D. Bowen, MD [bowendrjim]Monday, May 06, 2002 3:43 PM Subject: Re: decongestantI am tossing my Crest toothpaste. It is now formulatedwith sodium fluoride, (Rat Poison)! When theymarketed it in 1954 it was Stannous Flouride. Crest,just as of this past month, is being pushed upon thepublic in every way possible! I started using itregularly for ONE daily brushing, and got severefluoride poisoning that is clearing, now that I amfour days off "Crest". I was experiencing granulomasaround my fingernails, unexplained and atypicalworsening of my CHz and diabetes, skin ulcersappeared, and would not heal, my gums were sick, etc. Bush, since assuming "emergency powers" has once againacted in a manner that threatens our lives bymandating a level of 4 mg/liter of fluoride indrinking water, about TEN times what can safely betolerated. It looks like we are facing "FluorideGenocide". Crest does not even state the level offluoride it contains, so we can safely assume it s farhigher the 250 ppm that some other toothpastes admitto, which is a really toxic level any way! I have started using distilled water, and haveabandoned my habitual use of tea since it is high influoride, and fluoride is a cumulative poison. It isjust remarkable that Bush has the nerve to do this,especially now that the pundits who subserved thislie, “that fluoride benefits teeth”, have now comeforward and admitted they were merely saying what theywere paid to say, and that fluoride ruins teeth, aswell as the other bones in the body, especially thehips. We need merely look at the occurrence of toothdecay, which is far lower in Vancouver, BC, whosewater totally lacks fluoride than in other Canadiancities who fluoridated their water. Moreover, thoseregions in which fluoride occurs naturally have moredental damage, growth retardation, and mentalretardation, than do regions without fluoride. Ifyou live in a town or city that “fluoridates” itswater, we'd best be distilling our water until this isresolved! Here in Walla Walla, Wash. We are nowhaving a new “epidemic” of HIP FRACTURES. This was tobe expected, of course, since weakening of the bonesESPECIALLY HIPS, was a routine and well-knownoccurrence from fluoridation. Now that Bush has used the emergency powers act inthis demented manner, we are all endangered in manyways by his irresponsible actions! Here, seniors maybe just walking down the street and their hips just“give away”. It doesn’t take a fall, or anything tofracture their hips. Little Wonder! Bush hasincreased their dose of “Bone Rot” by ten fold. Sincefluoride poisoning grossly impairs carbohydratemetabolism, it worsened my diabetes, and also causesotherwise unexplained "ketoneuria". It damages thebody’s ability to utilize oxygen to burn sugar sodiabetics are now experiencing “Hypoglycemic” episodesat normal blood sugar levels like 70-75! In otherwords fluoride is the “Carbon monoxide” of glucosemetabolism, and is synergistic with Aspartame in thispoisoning of carbohydrate metabolism. My book,"Billions of Victims" follows, attached; and is postedon www.dorway.com.Sincerely, Dr Jim BowenBillions of people are now Aspartame victims or theirfriends. Individual answers to questions are now animpossible approach. The following article is meantto fill in that gap, to meet that need. As you readit you will master the medical knowledge you need tocope in a correctly intuitive manner. You also willpainlessly gain the experience you need, vicariouslyas you follow me down the river of discovery. I amlike a beat up, exhausted old salmon with propellerslashes from the political powerboats, gnashes from predators, battered from pounding against the rockswhile jumping cataracts, and exhausted from swimmingall the way up to this spawning ground against thecurrent. So jump in your armchair. You will lunchupon the fruit of “the tree of knowledge of good andevil” (Genesis 2:17 and 3:1-22) and your eyes will beopened as we journey down stream. Hopefully this maybecome a ”river of life” for you (Revelation 22:1-2). May you find healing in the “tree of life.” (Gen 2:9and 3:1-22). If you find the following articlehelpful, please help me spread it to any you may beable.“CHz”--What you need to know about ChemicalHypersensitivity disease: (CHz = MultipleSensitivities, Poly Chemical Sensitivity, Persian GulfSyndrome, etc.)”Because of your and/or your forbearers exposure totoxics like Aspartame, a summation of immune,mitochondrial, DNA, and MtDNA (genetic) damage hasoccurred in your body that has made your body unableto deal with chemical insults so slight that theymight not even be noticed by others. With thelessening of mitochondrial competency, free radicalsare produced, and the release of damaging combustionproducts into the cell occurs, causing exaggeratedcellular reactivity and cellular damages fromconcentrations of substances that you would never evenhave noticed before. You have become “hypersensitized.” Now, even millions of times less aconcentration of the same chemical exposures thatdidn’t bother you at all before, will cause severehealth damaging reactions, and autoimmune disease. Theactivation of mast cells and basophiles, and otherpro-inflammatory immune mechanisms can really set yourhealth problems off. This phenomenon tends to spread incrementally becauseit is a vicious circle type phenomenon. The moredamage, the less the metabolic and genetic competence,as a direct result of the DNA and RNA, Mt DNA and,mitochondrial damage to the organism: The more free radical formation and inappropriaterelease of abnormal metabolites occurs within andbeyond the “mitochondria.” (The little “energyfurnaces” within the cell that carry out certainotherwise dangerously energy loaded processes safelyfor the cell). This leads to more cellularcompromise. In addition, specific features of agiven chemical may incite damage. E.g., Benzoatesdirectly stimulate the metabolism of the mast cellsand basophiles making them more likely to fire off aninflammatory autoimmune response. It only makes sensethat for a preservative to “preserve” anything it hasto rapidly kill everything that has life or metabolismin it at very low doses. Such a compound cannot bevery friendly to human tissue. In bread, forinstance: I find vinegar (acetic acid), or calciumpropionate harmless for me, but all otherpreservatives are harmful. Denatured human tissueitself causes massive immune disorientation.Consider separately now the immune system. When itencounters your protein (cells, sub cellularstructures, and substrates such as the myelin sheathor joint cartilage etc.), denatured by things like theformaldehyde, and formic acid from Aspartame, andtissue damaged/denatured by the deranged processesmentioned in the first paragraph, it is highly likelyto view it as foreign. This makes your bodies owntissues subject to immune attack. The false memoriesinduced in your immune system are life long, leadingto an accumulation of various forms of autoimmunity. Some are very destructive. E.g., Lupus, neurodegenerative diseases, inflammatory arthritis, et al,to the point that the FDA had 92 different reactionsto Aspartame categorized until they quit acknowledginganything and then stone walled the public, refusing toeven acknowledge the health problems reported to them.Since marketing, 85% of all complaints are aboutAspartame alone, of all the 100,000 licensed by FDA! Once poisoned byAspartame, it is a secure fact that the person will besomewhere well down the road of hypersensitivity, andautoimmunity with those even creating initialpresenting symptoms.Now that you know the ballpark, how do you try to winback as much of your health as possible? How toprevent, to the greatest extent possible, furtherdegradation of your body’s health, and “well being”?The mainstays that you will have to adopt are asfollows: You must now become your own doctor,listening very carefully to your body and trying tomake sense of what’s going on. Study what things workfor yourself and others, and try them out, againlistening very carefully to your body. Become thegatekeeper of your body, practicing strict avoidanceof ingested and environmental chemicals. Evencaffeine promotes free radicals. You cannot at allbelieve that governmental or corporate integrityoffers you any protection. They simply no longerexist.That means if anything comes ready prepared in a can,bottle, box, or bag’ it is unsafe for you. You needto buy organic and cook from scratch, in so far aspossible. Avoid even mixes like cocoa mix, etc. Theyhave tried to give chemicals, even the horriblydamaging diketopiperazine of Aspartame, safe soundingnames like “natural flavoring, vegetable protein,lo-cal, lo fat, lite, lo salt, robust cheese flavor,and lo fat cheese flavor”. -The list is endless-! Environmental contaminants are also a severe hazard;plastics, new plastics, plastic bottled water,building materials, industrial releases and fumes,contaminated water, “sick” houses and environments areoften very damaging to you. Even sitting in front ofa new computer, as the new plastics “off gas,” isterrible for me. Most makes of automobiles after ’83are suspect. Ford remained “clean” until ’89, whenthey added polyurethanes and thioisocyanates to theirproducts. They had five unexplained deaths, on thefloor of their River Rouge plant alone, that firstseason!Once you are hyper sensitized, noxious substances fromnature: pollens, fungal blooms dusts mites, danders,etc. now cause major flares of disease. Evenatmospheric positive ionization zones from buildingsor nature, such as the full moon or foehn, ”Santa Ana”winds, or just living in a neighbor hood or regiongiven to positive ionization will tend to flare yourautoimmunity and may cause severe physical andemotional damage! Inhaling positive ions engendersthe production of the super oxide type of freeradicals in your metabolic processes, and they mayconsume negative ions from the ambient atmosphere.Atmospheric negative ions in ambient air, on the otherhand, are essential to well being because they consumepositive ions and other pollutants that wouldotherwise generate free radicals in your metabolicprocesses, and they are synergistic and catalytic withozone as “nature’s air purifiers”. By now, you may sense that you will seem like a “nutcase,” to someone who is not so afflicted. This ismainly because the Nazi like, fascist influence, ofthe chemical companies prevents doctors from beingtrained in any knowledge of this immense discipline.This would be an essential first step in adding sanityand effectiveness to the medical profession. As aresult, because your body cannot go along with theirinsane, and inept orientation, you will appeareccentric to them. So, you must become your owndoctor, because if your doctor does become keen ontreating your real problems he will likely bedestroyed by the fascist medical-political powerstructure. Some doctors do prevail in the field ofenvironmental ecology, in spite of all, and may beable to have a positive therapeutic and workingrelation with you. But they are few and far between.The measure you will begin with is avoidance, assuggested above. Decontamination is sometimeshelpful. A negative ionization, precipitation, andozonation machine, properly installed on anintelligent and perceptive regimen is oftenlifesaving, as are good house keeping practices toeliminate dust and mold sources. A natural,restorative diet of fruits, nuts, grains andvegetables, simply and healthfully prepared withoutchemicals is essential. Our world is so contaminatedand the production of meat oft so degraded, thatFlesh foods, and seafoods are usually laden withenvironmental contaminants and other toxins andhazards engendered by the dangerous, unethicalpractices of the feedlot industry. A good intake ofminerals and vitamins is essential. Especially to benoted are trace minerals like selenium, and vitaminslike folic acid, which is essential, but is consumedby the formic acid (this essential fact is often notdetailed in currently published texts) frominadvertent methanol, formaldehyde, or carbon monoxideintake which happens to be one of the toxic axes ofthe Aspartame molecule. I prefer kelp seleniumbecause it has a whole bouquet of trace minerals fromthe sea. Sea Sel is a brand I have used. Other medical interventions will includeimmunosuppressive therapy, when warranted. Dexamethasone, (Decadron) is my favorite steroid,given in pushes/pulses, on an intermittent basis, asneeded to stop a flare of autoimmune attack. It issafe, even at the high doses such as one half to onemg, that are needed to stop an autoimmune flare in itstracks. It is non toxic, and cheaply and easily takenas one dose of a single oral tablet at home. Archaicinformation based on the medical knowledge andpractices of fifty years ago leave a large segment ofthe profession unawares of its safety andpracticability. The fact that it is extremely cheapwill ensure that the government will oppose anyimprovement in medical outlook about this molecule. The FDA has become a branch office for thepharmaceutical companies, so the worst side effectthat a drug can have is that its patent has run out,and that it truly has become multi-sourced andaffordable. NO profit in that! Prolonged or steadyuse of any steroid is hazardous and destructive, evenat low doses, and is to be avoided. One antihistaminethat is safe for continuous dosage and effective aboveall others is doxepin. It is the most powerful H1 andH2 antihistamine known to man. It is long out ofpatent, and thus out of favor with the power structurebecause it’s cheap! The other benefits for the CHzvictim, built into this one molecule, are that it’s aperipheral anti serotonin agent (not central likeAspartame which would be a detriment), a stabilizer ofthe mast cell, an anticholinergic agent, an inducer ofrestorative sleep without being sedative (after theinitial anti histamine daze wears off) and a mildanxiolytic/antidepressant.When under patent, doxepin was advertised, andindependently rated, as being as harmless as a drinkof water, a potent medicine, that when taken properly,had no risks associated with its use except, thatbecause the patient might feel so much better, thedoctor might overlook other problems. Now that it isout of patent the FDA and surgeon general want tomurder it. Dr Koop runs a special net site to scarepeople away from it. He unrealistically anduntruthfully ascribes all sorts of imaginary andirrelevant ills to it. How does the government figureit can get away with such ignorant behavior? Well thegovernment is playing “dumb like a fox”. It hasdeclared that it can “categorically” issueprecautions, and ascribe side effects and toxicitiesto a medicine. The FDA may elect to assign to anygiven medicine any of the hazards or side effects ofany other chemical merely stated to be in a similarcategory. In the case of doxepin numerous categoriescould be assumed in order to play this legal game offalse condemnation. This is foolishness: FDAprecautions merely another word game to pursue and toperpetuate political objectives. In fact, the onlypertinent information to actually ascribe to amedicine is that information which really pertains toit. This FDA fiction is real “pseudo science.” Onlythe facts matter. All else is simple capriciousness,totally lacking truth, merit, or concern for humanwelfare. Makes sense, now that I have seen what theFDA and surgeon general really are capable of. Pleasesee Dr Koop’s net site on doxepin to view andappreciate what fatuous punditry the fascistgovernment would like to unload upon you.I will, as illustration, now give my ownhypersensitivity experiences. As a review, CHz isengendered by toxics like Aspartame for the followingreasons. First: Genetic damage occurs which bothdenatures the tissue being formed in your body, andblurs the competency of the immune system to recognizeyour tissues as “self”. Second: The immunecompetency to self protect is further blurred bydenaturing the already formed tissues of the body bythe direct chemical actions of the toxics: Creates“tissue targets”. Third: mitochondrial impairmentfrom the same mechanisms impair detoxification andincrease the release of free radicals, which aredestructive and inflammatory. Fourth: Many viciouscycles arise to auto perpetuate and broaden the scopeof these problems.Here is my experience. The features especiallyrelevant to CHz are pointed out, along with enough ofthe bureaucracy and political scenario exemplified tolet you know what you are really facing, now and inthe future. As I have been writing this account, ithas been extremely painful for me to even recall manyof these memories, much less relate them to you. Someof the material I must relate will worry my friendsbecause they feel I must hide it to protect myself. You, dear reader, and the billions of human beingsaround the world who have been, or will be deformed ordamaged by the heinous chemicals unleashed upon us aremore important than myself, or my welfare. My friendswho believe me to be a brilliant and compassionatehealer feel I should alter this story to protectmyself in hopes of one day again practicing medicine.When I came to realize the horrorific nature ofAspartame and the satanic nature of its promoters, Imade the determination that I could not be bought atany price, even if that meant being completelymisunderstood. In fact, the Lord has preserved my life. Variousindividuals from the satanic organizations haveapproached me to threaten, buy, or otherwise get meoff the Nutra Sweet issue. When I respond to theirthreats with the reply, “I trust my life to the Lord.”They typically, are forced to admit; “You must beright, that the Lord is protecting you, because wehave repeatedly used the best to get rid of you. Youcan’t even be alive, and yet you are.” Does thatsound like something from “The Gladiator”?“But know this. We are never going allow you to haveanything, or be anything, or do anything, and knowthis also, we are going to keep trying, and when theLord doesn’t need you anymore we are going to killyou.” The Lord does not indeed guarantee any one ofus a single heartbeat into the future. All I couldsay in response was: “The bible says not to worryabout this life, but to trust Him for the life tocome, which Satan will defraud you of.” So they findme unanswerable, and impossible to deal with.How have I come to this point? About January of 1983I received a flyer from Searle, whom I considered anethical drug company. I was especially fond of thembecause, years before, I had a close personalrelationship with one of the Searle sisters. In spiteof this, their flyer troubled me. In essence, itstated “We are putting a marvelous new artificialsweetener on the market called -Nutra Sweet-. It isjust a couple of harmless protein fragments, Drink upand enjoy.” It gave not so much as a stick drawing ofthe chemical, nor did it even name it! “None theless.” I bit. When the Lo-cal Kool-Aid hit the marketI started using it. Within two days I went from beinga two-mile at a session, swimmer to being in such atoxic cardiomyopathy and heart failure, that Icouldn’t even climb the stairs to my apartment. Lossof balance, and hearing acuity, and energy was also animmediate effect. I abandoned the swimming pool andbecame a couch potato. My wife became frantic, andthen rejective, because of the changes in me. Atthat point, any intelligent person would have knownthat the lo-cal Kool-Aid was suspect. My personalexperience will strongly exemplify how doctors can bemade to be real dummies, in any given circumstance, bybelieving what they have been trained to believe byour fascist, and fallible government andmedical-pharmaceutical axis power structure. Lab work up revealed only a mildly increasedeosinophile count, and decreased platelet count in myblood, and low voltage on the EKG. It was all “nondiagnostic,” but only because of my lack of knowledgeabout Aspartame’s chemical formula and toxicity. HadI been allowed to know either, this story would haveended right there.So, I persisted using the lo-cal Kool-Aid. With thepassing of a few more days I developed many symptomsof methanol (methyl alcohol) /formaldehyde poisoning,and progressive classic symptoms of chemicalhypersensitivity. My skin turned red and inflamed,and was photosensitive. I was short of breath anddrained of energy. I lost my ability to withstandthermal stress and stayed inside out of the summerwarmth. I could not acclimatize. In spite of stayingin the air-conditioned environment, parts of my bodyfelt cold and others, hot. I got stinging sensationsin my skin, shooting down my extremities, and aroundmy body. My thirst markedly increased. Things beganto taste salty to me. That didn’t stop me from cravingcorn chips and other pure carbohydrates. A bowl ofcorn chips became my constant companion at home. My sense of smell became outrageously keen. Be thereeven one leaf of stale lettuce in the kitchen garbagecan, I could smell it, even though the lid was closed.This common feature of CHz (chemical hypersensitivitydisease) apparently is due the fact that the sense of smell, which is designed to alert to chemicalhazards, begins to note damage potential fromchemicals at millions of times lower concentrations;which is in keeping with the facts of the case of CHz. At the same time, my ability to taste the sensationof sweetness in foods became markedly impaired, andremains so to this day. My mild, easily controlledosteo arthritis flared into a full blown inflammatoryand destructive arthritis and my right knee becameacutely painful. It had developed a large crack clearacross the joint surface. I have since seen peoplewho had experienced well nigh total cartilaginousdestruction, throughout their bodies, from this flareof arthritic processes by Aspartame. They usuallygave the history of only about six weeks from onset,to total destruction.As I continued on Aspartame, my visual acuity lessenedand until I had a severe loss of visual acuity, mynight vision also disappeared and did not return forsix years. I thank the Lord that it suddenly returnedin 1989. I lost my sense of balance in the firstcouple of days of lo-cal Kool-Aid use. My eye-handcoordination was the next to go. My enjoyment of sexwent first. Next came impairment of sexual function,which has never resolved. Many men are ashamed totalk about this, but they should overcome that, andlet the world know what Nutra Sweet did to them. Mywife thought I had lost interest in her, and hadperhaps become enamored of someone else. In my early research, the disruption of marriages wasone of the things the government studies reported as aresult of CHz, and methanol/formaldehyde exposure. Shortly after I started writing about, and publicizingthese problems my file was robbed of all Aspartame andformaldehyde/methanol related materials and thisinformation has since become unfindable: Largelyreplaced by punditry that would make you think thereis but little hazard. Common to the literature of thetime, was that other victims, like myself found thewhole experience to be a totally perplexing,disintegrative destruction of their lives. My ability to sleep became increasingly impaired andsoon a deep depression set in. Life became one long,dark, pleasureless, sleepless night. About then Itried using the sleeper Placidyl. It works by virtueof solvency, just like ether or chloroform. I didn’tyet even know I was being felled by CHz. Solvents ofall kinds worsen CHz, especially formaldehyde relatedCHz. So, neither sleep nor anything good came ofthat, and my symptoms all worsened, especially theneurological symptoms. The small town of Ashland, KSwhere I was practicing saw this happening to me andcame to the conclusion I was an alcoholic because myimpairment and depression were apparent to all, and Ilooked hung over all the time. That was a very astutecorrelation, because the “hang over” experience iscaused by the traces of methanol in beverage alcohol. I was using no alcoholic beverages, but I was gettingmethyl alcohol from Nutra Sweet and had become amethoholic, the most vicious and destructive form ofalcoholism. By now I craved the lo-cal Kool-Aid. Iused it before I went to the clinic and as soon as Iarrived home again. I had quit hospitalizing patientsand my clinic practice was, of course dwindling due tomy impaired performance. By now I only wanted to getthrough the day. I felt, some how, that it was “all my fault.”Aspartame is a brainwashing agent. You lose yourability to think independently and effectively, or torealistically challenge any thing. I wondered how Icould get so old so fast. In fact, Aspartame aged meabout thirty years in six weeks. When your immunesystem is aging you instead of protecting you, your MtDNA is rapidly being mutated and degraded, RNAtransmission is being deranged and deleted, when freeradicals are being flooded through out your body andplasticizing agents and blister poisons are destroyingyour tissues from the inside out, that pretty welldescribes progeria. I had a full head of dark brownhair when I started drinking lo-cal Kool-Aid. Sixweeks later it looked like I had silver gray hair thatI had dyed dark brown and the gray roots were showing.My hair was grayed forever. It’s Mt DNA, whichdetermines youthfulness of hair, forever “fried” bythe Aspartame. There were no real hair dyes marketedjust for men at that time. Starting in 1984, thosebecame a brisk and expanding market served by severalnew brand names. I was now experiencing the horrors of deterioratingwith neuro degenerative dz. I can empathize withthose going through this as no one who hasn’t beenthere really can. My body and brain were nowneurologically and functionally falling apart. What ahopeless feeling! I felt that I was going crazy. There was just no known medical explanation for whatwas happening to me.I went to see Dr. Max Teare in Garden City, Kansas, apsychiatrist, who specialized in treating impairedphysicians. Max was marvelous, but had no inklingthat Aspartame was toxic. I frankly told him allabout myself, including all the meds I was using. Maxrecognized that nothing that I was sharing with himwould explain the messed up man sitting in interviewwith him. I was sobbing desperately in my pleas forhelp. I could barely get my hands to my mouth. Icould hardly swallow my own saliva. Talking ormaintaining a normal posture was nearly impossible forme. My speech was slurred. I couldn’t even holdmyself erect, and I was grossly uncoordinated. Max repeatedly pressed me to tell him about the drugsI was using, or the alcohol I was imbibing but I hadnothing further to tell him. Finally I sobbed, ”Maxall I know is that nothing you are suggesting willhelp me at all. If I don’t get some help I am goingto die! I want you to send me to the best mentalhospital that you know of.” Never did Max ask aboutNutra Sweet consumption, nor did I volunteer any suchinformation. We as MDs were simply programmed to viewit as an inert food additive. All food additivesmust, by law, be proven inert at one hundred times themaximum conceivable human dose. No wonder we weremislead by our blind faith in the FDA.Max was visibly upset by my request forhospitalization, and said, “ Man, you don’t know whatthat would do to your career.” I replied. “Max rightnow I don’t care about my career, all I know is that Iam a dying man”. So, Max reluctantly gave verythoughtful contemplation to the matter, discussingvarious options with me and asking me about them. Iassured him that I was in no condition to choose, butthat I would appreciate him choosing the one he wouldwant to go to if he were in my shoes. After a longdeliberation with himself, he said he would choosePrairie View, a Mennonite institution in Newton, Ks. Thank God for Prairie View! It’s quiet, pleasant,chemical free rural environment, and loving,supportive staff were to prove to be just what myNutra Sweet and CHz ravished body needed! Meanwhile Max had sent me home to wait while hearranged an appointment to enter Prairie View. I wasno longer practicing but only staying in myair-conditioned apartment, avoiding the ferociouslyhot Kansas summer, and desperately sliding downhillinto a Lou Gehrig’s Disease like picture. Stillslugging down the lo-cal Kool-Aid, and saying “ThankGod for Nutra Sweet in such a hot summer.” A week ortwo later Max called and said he had arranged for myadmission, but that it would be another week beforePrairie View would have room for me. Ah! Hope atlast! With this newfound hope, my ravaged mind musthave subconsciously gone into high gear. Isubconsciously, and only subconsciously came tosuspect. “Nutra Sweet.” I said to myself, for noapparent conscious reason, “No more Nutra Sweet.” Lacking Aspartame, my body and mind slowly began tomake the early phases of recovery. I presented to Prairie View in a state of withdrawal,but a very little partially recovered, and totallybroken in spirit. What were they to think! “Boy dowe have an addict coming to us in withdrawal or what!”Was their highly logical conclusion. I was palsiedwith a bulbar palsy. This was evident on exam, inaddition to being hyper reflexic and ataxic, allclassical signs of being damaged by, and in withdrawalfrom some mind destroying toxic substance. I got tomeet the very overworked Dr Peter O’Toole, the onlyfull time psychiatrist for about 300 inpatients on mysecond day. Again, he did not ask and I did notvolunteer any information about my Nutra Sweetconsumption. Why should we? It had been fed to the public alongwith the greatest media blitzkrieg of the history ofthe world. I now know that we live in a day and ageunparalleled for manipulation of the media aspropaganda. If any thing is highly promoted, you’dbest back right away from it. Right now our rightsand liberties are being destroyed and our bodies arebeing violated by the government assuming “emergencypowers” and taking other fascist measures under theguise of a “war on terrorism”. Were all facts known,the only emergencies that have occurred were fosteredby US intelligence agencies, and the only crisis weface is a media event designed to make us gullible andpliant to the notion of being defrauded of ourpersonal and civil liberties. Note how the Bushfamily is now being promoted in a media blitz, asinnocuous Americans, just as vulnerable as all otherAmericans; It would be made to seem. Better ask:“Where have my rights gone?” “And my liberties?,” “And our economy?,” And, Oh Yes!, “The socialsecurity funds.” You might consider boycotting allthe press involved in this propaganda smoke screenoperation. You see Bush et al, and Rummsfeld, almostdaily, promoted as model citizens in a way neverpreviously exhibited by our media, on behalf ofanyone. I think these fascist denizens even may cometo believe their own propaganda and enjoy falseadulation. Some dictators demand it, with stageddemonstrations, etc.The “National Enquirer” ran a prominent articledetailing a few of the ties between the Bush dynastyand Nazi Germany. April 24, 2001, was the publicationdate, as I remember. It was removed from all the KMart and Fred Meyer store chains, over night, beforethe stores were opened for the business in themorning, and for a long time, this fascist act wascovered by providing the following weeks Enquirer aweek early. It still is here in Portland. Both chainsare owned by the Kroger dynasty, who now control 52%+of the nations grocery supply. All this virtuallydefines “burn the books” fascism. I saw but little of Dr O’Toole for most of my stay atPrairie View, but a psychologist, Dr White, oversaw mycare. Upon my arrival at Prairie View, I waspleasantly surprised. It was rural and pastoral,situated on a 350-acre farm outside of town amidst therolling, rural Kansas landscape. The buildings wererustic and informal, having been built in theimmediate post WWII era, when Mennonites who hadserved as medics in the war, were inspired by theirwartime experiences to build a place where war tornpsyches could heal. The buildings were simple, andpleasant, but not air-conditioned. I was panicked. Ihad, since starting Nutra Sweet, been completelydefeated by the heat of the Kansas summer. Now I hadto live without air conditioning. A large part of thetime was spent out of doors in vigorous recreationalactivities in the heat of Kansas’ hottest month,August! What a disconcerting prospect for me. I wasutterly defeated by the heat. Nutra Sweet hadwithered my ability to withstand thermal, or any otherkind of stress. Much to my surprise, I rapidly acclimatized and wasnot even bothered by the heat any more. The healingprocess was not painless. The simple occupationaltherapies were terrifying to me because they revealedthe extreme neurological incapacities I had sustained.Other doctors who worked with me in surgery hadcomplimented me on my surgical dexterity and skills. Now those hands, once so capable, could hardly bedirected to scratch a random line on a recreationalexercise. The personnel were marvelously supportiveand shared every little victory with me as myfunctional abilities began to return. The food wassimple, cooked from scratch in the inimitable, andexcellent Mennonite cuisine, and free of chemicals.There were a few rough spots engendered by myAspartame induced picture, though. The psychologicalpersonnel were intent on finding out just what had soneurologically degenerated me. This led to a lot ofconfrontations about drug abuse, but I had nothingmore that I could tell them. I earnestly wished Icould give them anything to go on. I wanted, aboveall else, to get well. They knew of my biochemicalexpertise. In defiance of all logic, they came to themisguided conclusion that I simply had to be thecleverest addict they had ever seen, but an addict,nonetheless. Most of the personnel were of acongenial nature, but the Gestapo teams they sentaround in the middle of the night to roughly extractblood and urine samples for drug testing were anexception. I so badly wanted to get well! Isubmitted, out of blind faith, without protest for acouple of weeks, actually hoping they could findanything by this misdirected activity. When all the results were in, I again saw Dr. O’Toole. He was illogically confrontational. He said “Jimyou are just too smart for your own good. We haverepeatedly, again and again, done all sorts of drugtesting. We have even used the most refined labs inthe nation and have taken tests that would detect anyabuse drugs even in trace amounts. That should detectanything, even six weeks to three months back, and youare clean. How are you doing this?” They thought,that with my sound knowledge of applied biochemistry,I had cleverly devised a method to defeat theirtesting. How illogical! I came to them of my own volition, not having beenfound guilty of anything, nor was I referred to thembecause any agency was suspicious of drug abuse. Ilived without privacy in their Spartan quarters, andthere was no logical reason to believe that I couldhave concocted any method that could have defeated theresults of all their extensive blood and urinetesting. This has direct application forever, to thelife of any who have used Aspartame. Your doctorswill be clueless, unless they learn about Asp and CHz.Many doctors are in satanic agencies like the Masonicorders, B'nai B'rith, etc., or are afraid of politics,or afraid to disbelieve the fascist power structure,or if they disbelieve, to do anything, but keep it tothemselves, because they have, from medical school onbeen taught to never cross politics, at the cost oflosing their careers. Or, just as myself, and mytherapists were at that time, they have come to noconscious admission of the dangers of Aspartame. Nomatter how insanely illogical it is not to followtheir observations to the logical conclusion, whichyou have documented to them, that you need helpbecause of serious problems with Aspartame, or CHz,they will throw you on the medical trash heap as a“nut” or malingerer, rather than cooperate with you intreating you for the problems for which you so badlyneed to be helped. It is a sad fact, that the medical profession hasbeen, as a matter of routine in their training, beentaught to stay off the frontiers of medicine. That’sreal bad because those patients “out in the frontier”may present to them and need their help at any time. I, for one, am a “frontiersman” and will remain so duethe insights I have gained in almost twenty years ofstudying the Aspartame problem. Well, OK, I was a“frontiersman” before. If you do not “fire” anydoctor who will not relate realistically to yourproblems from Aspartame with CHz, you are doomed. Once you have been so afflicted, you must foreverdethrone your doctors as high priests. Seek your ownwelfare, because the only alternative is toxic geneticand immunologic destruction. By reading this articleyou have become a frontiersman, having gone way beyondthe frontier of mass mind control that your governmentwould keep you, and your doctor confined to.Happily, with the good environment at Prairie View, Iwas steadily improving. Little credit can be given tomy therapists, who were in a hapless position, becauseat that time they had no access to any knowledge ofthe hazards of Aspartame. That is no longer true. Anydoctor or therapist who does not, or will not explorethe vast amount of information available is simply aninadequate personality, and a shame and disgrace tohis profession. You should, though, give them achance by pointing out the excellent net sites like“dorway” and “holisticmed” to them. Thebibliographies therein are extensive. A compilationfrom “holisticmed,” called “the bitter truth aboutartificial sweeteners” has 1100 pages of crystal clearmaterial with rock hard documentation from 70 pages ofbibliography. There is just no longer any excuse fora doctor to sell himself to the power structure andignore the facts of the horrible Aspartame problem! Dr Hyman Roberts has published a comprehensive medicaltextbook, and even when I was a doctor/patient, thereexisted all sorts of information that would havealerted us all to the deadly hazard called Aspartame,had we been allowed to know of it. NO thanks to mediawho covered for it! Dr Adrian gross, the head toxicologist at the EPA, hadalready, for over ten years been condemning Aspartamewith the full weight of his agency. Donald Rummsfeld,et al, had faced felony charges pressed by the UScongress. All of which should have hit the media likea meteor strike. The major media was and remains swornto silence on the Aspartame and CHz issue, which isfar more of interest to the populace, and millions oftimes more essential to our welfare and politicaldemocracy than say “Watergate,” in which the mediadoused the public for months, to defrock a presidentguilty of nothing approaching the heinous Aspartameatrocity. Yes, “Monica” isn’t even noteworthy, but shewas made a porn queen to pander to the public’sprurient interests and, for a year or so, used todivert the public attention from real issues. Ipersonally wasn’t interested. It came to the pointwhere I refused to even pick up a periodical that waspandering with her. Back to Prairie View, August 1983. My stay was markedby much of the pathos that you might expect in amental hospital. Highly depressed, I was but littlehelp to the outlook of my extremely depressedroommate.. He hung himself after I had been thereabout a week. When my depression began to lift, andmy neurological function began to heal, it wasambivalent from the standpoint of “Out there, in thereal world, I was a total mess, here in a shelteredenvironment, I’m getting better. Hmmm, does that meanthat I am so defective I can’t function in society? So inadequate I can’t take the stress?” This wasbeginning to become a real problem with my “selfimage.” Shirley, my RN wife saw this and began tourge me: “Come on Jim. Get out of here. They’re makinga patient out of you! You are starting to like this.” Broken in spirit, all I could reply was: “I am notwell yet, and they have found no answers for me.” About three weeks after I got off of Nutra Sweet, Ihad progressed from hardly being able to get my handsabove my shoulders, to being able to clumsily hit avolleyball. That was some real improvement. Theattempts of the psychotherapy staff had convinced methat there was definitely some chemical substanceinvolved, because that was what they kept pressing mefor. “But what could it be?” I really wanted to know!My first answer came incidentally. I customarily usePalmolive liquid dish soap to wash and bathe withbecause it is extremely friendly to my body. I askedmy wife to bring in a bottle of Prell shampoo for meto use in the dormitory. She had asked me if I wouldlike anything special after I got over my acutetoxicity enough to care. The very first time I usedPrell, one evening just before bedtime, I was in for arude awakening! Shortly after I fell asleep, I awoke,itching all over, my body covered with intenselypruritic red hives. I went to the shower and began tosoak the chemical, whatever it was, out of my skin.That led to a pretty stiff confrontation with thestaff, which ran into the shower, screaming “You can’tbe in here now it is almost midnight.” When I toldthem I had no intention of leaving until I got better,and explained what had happened they were incredulous,but reluctantly relented. When my skin got comfortableagain, I went back to bed. That episode caused me to ask myself, “What is inPrell that is not in Palmolive or the soap I have usedhere?” The answer came to me. “Formaldehyde is addedto Prell as a polymerizing agent to make the hairtougher, and willing to take a set as you comb it outafter shampooing.” So, now I had it! Whatever haddone this to me had caused formaldehyde poisoning inmy body, and had left me formaldehyde sensitized. This is, in fact, one of the Nutra Sweet “cogeners”,one of the multitudinous bad reactions it engenders inhuman beings from the time of manufacture and onwardsad infinitum. Formaldehyde, which is the strongestorganic base, and a polymerizing agent cross binds,and plasticizes your own tissues, DNA, and RNA”denaturing” them. Your immune system then fails torecognize, as “self“, your own tissues, which havebeen ”denatured”, made foreign to it by formaldehydepolymerization. It sees them as “foreign” andtherefore needing to be destroyed by immune attack. So your immune system targets attacks your owntissues, or the fetus if you are carrying a baby. As I contemplated this I could not, in any way, cometo suspect our government, but rather felt that ourdemocracy could be threatened by exposing our leadersto it, and then deranging them at will by exposingthem to minute amounts of formaldehyde vapors. In avery close sense, I was right. Nancy had beenregularly pushing Aspartame on Ronny. She had givenhim a cute little silver tube to carry it around in,and this man, always a follower and actor rather thana leader, was all the more under her control, and thusof her handlers. He was to become so neurologicallydegenerated by Aspartame, that by the time he made runfor his second term of Presidency, you may rememberthat he had to visibly struggle, openly before thecameras, to even poorly read his lines. At that pointhe was no longer even a competent actor. Just thekind of man his keepers wanted in the oval office.Reagan went on to full blown Alzheimer’s dz, one ofthe over ninety known problems from Aspartame. Havingnot the slightest inkling of anything wrong with theFDA, I remained convinced of only one thing. Whateverchemical had done this to me was a formaldehydecompound, and had left me formaldehyde sensitized. I could never have dreamed that my own governmentwould have exposed me to a concoction of methylalcohol, wood alcohol, or methanol. Methanol has beenwell known, for over a hundred years, to cause themost vicious form of alcoholism, “metholism.” It isnoted for extreme depression and degeneration of aboutevery system in the body as well as immunologicdisorders and death, in even minute amounts. Aprominent “skull and cross bones” and “poison” labelare required on everything containing methanol alongwith the words, “Warning, poisonous, contains methanoldo not breath fumes or ingest.” Obviously Nutra Sweetcould not be anything like that. It certainly did nothave any warning like that on the label. Methanolcauses a form of formaldehyde poisoning about fiftytimes as deadly as straight formaldehyde, and whenestherized into a larger molecule like Aspartame,becomes far more toxic and sensitizing. I had beeningesting an alcohol/formaldehyde poison about twentythousand times as toxic as regular old “sippingalcohol”, ethanol or grain alcohol, (on mg per mgbasis). I was clueless, only because uninformed. Mostingested Aspartame is broken down into about ten otherpoisons in the digestive tract. The small amount,like a mg or so, that is absorbed “buccally”, directlythrough the mouth, is enough to be, an extremepoisoning because of the extreme potency of the intactmolecule.So I sat around the hospital feeling more and more alost, inadequate soul because I had no idea what myproblem had been out in the world and I didn’t want togo out there and get slapped down by it again.Whatever it was! One evening I paused for just a fewminutes to watch the news. I was given my answer. The female TV newsperson gave about a five secondwarning at the end of her newscast: “The FDA hasissued warnings on Nutra Sweet. It can cause chemicalimbalances in the brain”. The FDA had not. Dr DickWurtman, the head of neuro endocrinology at MIT hadgotten her to say it. This was his area of specialexpertise, and special concern with Aspartame. Wow!Some authority figure had given me permission tothink! It became so obvious. I had started Nutra Sweet. Igot sick and fell apart. I stopped it. I got well, orat least better, except for formaldehyde sensitivity. The next morning I jubilantly went to Dr O’Toole, andtold him what I had discovered. His only response wasto become desperately upset, and speechless. Then hislack of any rational knowledge of Aspartame toxicityonce again predominated and clouded the issue. He wasgoing to prove that Aspartame was not the culprit! Heagain reordered all the testing I had already gonethrough: In some instances, several times already. Isaid “Dr O’Toole, you have even reordered a cat scanof the brain, for which you have a negative reportfrom just three weeks ago!” He seemed to melt into atotal collapse of hopelessness right on the spot, andhad nothing more to offer. Such is the immenseconundrum that the government has created for doctorsby putting this horrendous poison on the market, alongwith others, and mandating of medical doctors thatthey dare not find it so. Dr Hyman Roberts has welldocumented it, that up to $60,000 or more, per patientin unnecessary workups are occurring because of lackof medical knowledge of Aspartame. I gave my three days of notice to Prairie View that Iwas leaving. My wife was jubilant. She had herhusband back, unafraid to face the world. Well Ishould have been though, Had I but had any inkling ofwhat was going to happen to me when I started talkingabout the biochemistry of Aspartame. (There will beroom in this article for but a very small part of whatI have been put through.) Of course I wanted to knowmore. So I sent Shirley down to the drugstore to askthe pharmacist what he might know about Aspartame. Heknew nothing. A PhD pharmacologist, a pharmaceuticalsalesman from Salina Kansas who was passing through,happened upon the conversation and said; “Well Ireally wondered about that. I have held a lot ofSearle stock, and they told us in their stock reportsten years ago that Aspartame was far too toxic to evereven consider for human consumption, and now I see iton the market!” In the meanwhile, I called the FDAand got Tony Burnetti, who maintained the Nutra Sweetfile. Tony said “ Why no, there is nothing at all wrong withNutra Sweet. If there were anything wrong with NutraSweet we would pull it right off the market.” Tony’svoice was so full of false bravado that he soundedjust like a man who was being forced to say somethinghe didn’t believe. I was right. He shortly laterbecame a very valuable mole and let us get some of themost damning toxicity studies you could conceive of,directly from his files at the FDA. Such as: Innormal doses Aspartame is the number one brain tumorcarcinogen known to man. In the same low dose,equivalent to 3 cans of pop/ day, it within 60 days,it caused a 250% increase in visible human illness,and was demonstrated to be extremely carcinogenic inthe human study group. It was also demonstrated to bean extreme epileptogenic agent. At the moment though, he was standing pat on the“party line.” So I asked. “Tony, I am an MD andbiochemist and I have a pretty good understanding ofapplied biochemistry. Maybe, if you just told me thechemical formula of Nutra Sweet, I could figure outwhat’s happened to me here, because the stuff almostkilled me.” Tony’s reply: “I can’t give you theformula.” I protested: “Back up here now Tony. Thisstuff has been released for general consumption. Theformula should be public knowledge, and now you aretelling me you can’t even give me the formula? Thatyou can’t even give the formula to a concernedphysician!” Tony’s reply: “Well, it’s a controversialissue, and we never release the formula oncontroversial issues.” A moment ago it was perfectlysafe, and now it was so “controversial” that even amedical doctor was not to be allowed to know what itwas! You didn’t have to tell me any more than that tolet me know I had just stumbled on something big andbloody. All on our first day of looking! I went to the “freedom of information” act andrequested access to the Nutra Sweet formula, and file.A little later, I got a letter acknowledging myrequest and assuring me I would get the information indue time. It has been 19 years, and nothing has beenforth coming! I didn’t wait for FIA, but went to thesugar industry trade journals, where I found thechemical formula of Aspartame, and thus made it knownto the public. After contemplating the formulacarefully, for quite a while, and thinking about theknown properties intrinsic in its chemicalconstitution, I quite correctly came to the conclusionthis was not anything that any conscientious scientistwould ever allow in the human body. This was the kindof perverted, sick science they had been doing in NaziGermany. I have since discovered that horridpossibility to be just the fact. “Operation paperclip” was so named when the satanicking makers and power brokers who presently run ourworld, and are destroying it, brought Nazi warcriminals to the US at the end of WWII, to continuetheir “scientific” projects here. They placedpaperclips on the files, so their clerks could typeclean dossiers for President Truman’s review. Fromtheir work came the HIV virus, Aspartame, and the“Schools of the Americas”, etc. If you look at theseven last plagues of Revelation (Ch 16), you willread of the culmination of the satanic degradationthat the US, which will remain the most powerful (Rev13:11-17), and thus the most responsible, leader ofthe nations until the end of time (Rev17: 7-11), andwill bring destruction upon the world. This satanicdegradation of society and the world will bring the USto its knees in the dust of the world it hasdestroyed. (Rev 6:13-17), and (Rev 19:17-21). Toforce the public to support such heinous programs, theleaders need fascist powers, just like Rome and NaziGermany exercised. Aspartame is a heinous chemicalagent designed to help bring this about. Welcome tothe new world order! (Rev 16:13-16) Aspartame isSatan, its leader’s chemical agent of first choice forpopulation control, and mass mind control.Upon arriving back in Ashland Kansas, I found that thesmall town power structure viewed me as an unrepentantalcoholic. It was no longer possible for me tosucceed there. So I began to look for alternatives. My wife and myself soon discovered that things hadmysteriously changed with our health. It is to myshame that Shirley, almost as soon as I starteddrinking the lo-cal Kool-Aid, spotted the fact thatNutra Sweet was what was breaking my health. Shewould plead with me “Jim get off the Nutra Sweet. Itis killing you.” I would respond. “No. It is a safe,FDA approved product. It couldn’t be doing this tome.” So she, out of respect to my incorrect opinion,and her faith in the FDA as an RN nurse, began to usethe lo-cal Kool-Aid along with me. She was about tenweeks pregnant at the time, and shortly after shebecame symptomatic with the Aspartame poisoning, shelost the baby. I found Aspartame to be a commonfertility problem, and not surprisingly, many whocarry to delivery while consuming, deliver seriouslydamaged or deformed babies, or the more subtle“pervasive developmental disorders” occur. All inkeeping with the known toxicity and biochemistry ofthe Aspartame molecule. My wife used far lessAspartame than I did. She had much milder primarysymptoms. We didn’t understand at all, in spite ofher initial recognition of Aspartame’s horribleeffects on me. So exemplary of the brain washingeffects of Asp, once you come under its influence. From that six-week period of ingestion, we had bothcontracted CHz. Our first inkling that anything was wrong was that,while we both loved to eat at salad bars, they nowmade us sick. Weird health phenomena that we couldn’tunderstand began to occur. It became obvious that thesexual dynamo that I had been just before I startedlo-cal Kool-Aid was never to be again. My hair hadgone gray, and was rapidly thinning. It now tookregular, careful combing to make it appear to coverthe top, and careful photography to avoid theappearance of balding. When I first enrolled inPrairie View, my hair hadn’t shed yet, and the grayshining through, in streaks, looked rather attractive,I thought. A month later, the shedding had occurred. I now had a whole new set of problems with it. I hadnever before known.We selected the town of Ridgefield, Washington as ournext practice location. We started across country witha U Haul and a car. We arrived at Sinclair, Wyoming,an oil refinery town with noticeable air pollution ofa sulfurous nature. This pollution flared oursensitivities. We however, didn’t have an inkling ofthe existence of CHz, or that Aspartame had anythingto do with our newfound CHz health problems. Many ofour mutual experiences therefore, provide an eleganthealth study of CHz, with two cohorts well trained toobserve medical phenomena, and blinded as to what wewere going through, and as to CHz, or Asp as thecause. We thought the Nutra Sweet episode was behindus and we were in state of hopeful denial. We believedwe could go back to the world that existed for usbefore we encountered Asp. That was never to be! Fora treat, we went to the finest restaurant in Sinclairfor some good, home style cooking. Even that was notto be! When the waitress brought us the soup, I foundit to be way too salty, but thought it to be “justme.” I tried to choke it down but just couldn’t. Ilooked at Shirley, who was going through just theexact same experience. Our eyes met, and with a smileof shared experience, we said simultaneously, “ thissoup is just too salty.” we smiled and decided to setthe soup aside and go on with the meal, withoutcomplaint. When the waitress brought the excellent main course wehad the same experience. The food was just way toosalty to eat! The waitress was cool. She said: ”Thecook probably over salted the food.” and brought ussome chicken nuggets from outside sources. While shewas gone we noted that Shirley’s daughter, Sherry, andall the other customers were eating the food, andenjoying it just fine. When the chicken nuggetsarrived, they also tasted way too salty to eat. Talkabout a couple of perplexed people! Shirley and Ididn’t have a clue what was going on. In fact: OurCHz was flared into full reactivity by the sulfurouspetrochemicals in the air from the refinery, and as istypically often the case, our sense of thirst andperception of salty taste were grossly exaggerated. Shirley asked the waitress for a doggy bag. Iremonstrated with her. ”Woman what do you want tobring those chicken nuggets along for, they are waytoo salty to eat!” Shirley was cool and didn’tanswer, but brought the nuggets along. After severalhours in the pure air of rural Wyoming, we laterarrived in Rock Springs. Shirley got out the chickennuggets to try them. I asked, “Why are you messingwith those? You know they are way too salty.” Shirley tasted some and said “these are delicious,here try some.” I did and they were! We looked ateach other, puzzled? Clueless we were.Ridgefield, Washington was one of the worst placesthat a Dr afflicted with CHz could have chosen topractice. The greater Portland area is horriblypolluted due to polluted politics. Pulp mills linedthe Columbia all the way in from the coast, and theWillamette all the way south to Albany. The Columbiathen turns eastward. It, and the Snake host more hugepulp industries all the way from Camas, WA toLewiston, Idaho. Not to mention the ones insidePortland and Vancouver. Just north of Ridgefield,Kalama, WA hosts a large concentration of chemicalmanufacturing in its port. 98% of the Nation’sbenzoates and numerous other chemicals aremanufactured there. The emissions are just notcontrolled. Benzoates are “death” to most CHz victims.In the whole greater Portland Metroplex, to ask anyof the enforcement agencies to stop major polluters isto merely submit yourself to scrutiny and abuse. TheWillamette River at Portland now contains 1000 timesthe max permissible levels of dioxin and PCBs. Thefish have deformed spines and skulls. Happily? Atleast there are signs along the river warning you thatthe fish are inedible. They long fooled the public,but couldn’t “fool” the fish that have to swim up theriver. The last salmon arrived at Willamette Falls inOregon City years ago.Ridgefield was the “company town” of PWT, Pacific WoodTreatment’s plant. They putrified the environmentthere with pentachlorophenol and other toxic wastes,emitting them into the air and water, even buryingthem in shallow graves. The excellent Redmond aquiferblesses the whole of Clark County with abundant highquality water. Other industries have also damaged itpermanently by dumping poisons in it that will bethere forever, some even pumping pollutants down intoit! The world’s largest pulp mill is just across theColumbia from Ridgefield, at Saint Helens, OR. Thepulp pollutants would often billow out of its stacksin a huge plume and arc across the river, settlingdown and mixing with the PWT emissions in air alreadychemically fouled by Kalama, just up the beach. Thisenveloped Ridgefield in a toxic cloud of multi sourcedpollutants. Many of the townspeople suffered theresultant diseases. My real education in CHz was just about to begin! What a nightmare! My problems with Aspartame, which Ihad hoped to leave far, and forever behind me began torecur in many destructively intrusive ways. The“bonfire” effect set in because my CHz was kept“flared up” to an extremely high level ofdestructiveness. Where shall I start with all thesymptoms? Alzheimer like loss of short-term memory? I would leave town to drive into downtown Vancouverjust a few exits down I-5, and drive right on past theFourth Plain exit and be forced to go on across theColumbia River Bridge into Portland, circle back northacross the bridge and forget to exit the down town,Mill Plain and Fourth plain exits, circle back southagain and once more miss the Fourth Plain exit southbound and once again be forced go across to Portland,completely failing to get to Vancouver. My Lou Gehrig’s like neurological symptoms with throatparalysis would recur when the pollution built up,especially when I went home and lay down in bed. Mylatex mattress, which I had owned for 18 years, hadnever bothered me until then. It now causedparalysis. When I replaced it with a cotton mattress,the foam pillows then sickened me. When I replacedthem with feather pillows, I had then to learn thatfeathers for pillows are regularly sterilized andtoughened to give them body with formaldehyde. I oftenappeared drunk to my patients and talked to them muchas a drunk would. Shirley was made so ill that shecould not remain downtown, where the pollution was theworst, and my office was located, long enough to helpme in the office. My office apparently had polyurethane insulationbecause it smelled strongly of formaldehyde and ureato me, and worsened my condition. In an attempt tolive with my “formaldehyde sensitivity” I would keepits door opened which caused my receptionist to resigneven though I provided her with a personal heater tokeep warm with. She thought that my problems with theoffice “were just a bunch of nonsense.” After all itdidn’t bother her. My arthritis, usually wellcontrolled with Feldene (piroxicam), flared into highgear. I developed chronic fatigue/polymyalgiasymptoms. I had started writing for newspapers aboutthe problems that Aspartame had caused me, and wascausing my patients, while still in Kansas. A startlingly explicit illustration of how quicklyAspartame can alter the genetic and immune status of apopulation occurred late that fall in Ridgefield, andthe whole lower Columbia/Willamette river basin. About once a year a massive, extensive inversion formsover Portland, usually extending from Longview to thenorth, to Salem or Albany to the south. It startswith the usual nightly inversion when thepollutant-laden upper atmosphere is cooled from thelack of sun and further loses warmth, radiating itinto the night sky, and then tumbles down unto thepopulace, while the air that remained warmed bycontact with the ground runs up the mountain valleysand gets on top. This is then joined by a gentlysloping warm front coming in from off the Pacific,which then becomes stationary and layered above. Thepollutants can be trapped for days, and the populacehas to breathe them. The only thing that made the fewinverted days starting December 17, 1983 differentfrom other years was that the population had just beenintroduced to Aspartame in a media blitz, starting inJuly of that year. The companies had ruthlessly evenleft off even the FDA mandated warning for PKU. “Sowhat if PKU infants were severely brain damaged.” Aspartame must be consumed. No matter what!Nothing was to alert the public to any possibleproblem from Aspartame! The inversion hit as usual. Overhead the moon was building for a December 20thfull date. The negatively charged moon, which orbitsin close to the earth’s surface, as it shows full, waspushing the ionosphere down towards the earth by samecharge repellency, because the ionosphere isnegatively charged on top. The positively chargedbottom of the ionosphere was generating toxic positiveions in the stable, inverted chemical mess envelopingthe Portland/Vancouver area. I was there to observethe effect on the now sensitized population ofRidgefield, which was the epicenter. Shirley and Iwere ill, and we knew why. Others in town were illbut hapless. Our good friends and neighbors who ran alarge silkscreen factory across the street from theclinic put a huge banner across the whole front oftheir business stating “someone is trying to run usout of town”. They locked up their business and tookoff! A few days later when the inversion lifted, theyquietly came back and resumed business without furthercomment. The Oregonian reported more than triple thearrests for prostitution that Portland usually had.And! These were not professional tarts they wereordinary housewives with no prior criminal record. The paper could offer no explanation. I went to visit Mayor Bill, a capable, stable, broadbased man. He sat at his desk sobbing. When I askedhim the problem, he could merely state that he “justcouldn’t do anything right the last day or two.” Iassured him it was the inverted pollutants stacked ontop of Nutra Sweet toxicity, and the CHz there from. The city clerk, a very chaste married woman, hadbecome totally disinhibited. Shirley and I went up tothe Oak Tree, about twenty miles away in Woodland, forsupper in hopes of escaping from the pollution. Thewaitresses there were totally disinhibited. It mighthave been “Bachelors Paradise” that night. We droveeast up along the Lewis River after supper to try andescape the chemically fouled air and couldn’t get outof it until we passed Merwin Dam about twenty miles upinto the mountains. Oh! It felt so good to be able tobreath pure air again! But having no place to sleep,after a brief respite, we had to submit to the miseryof returning to the fouled air. When the inversioncleared in a few days, life returned to its usualroutines. My premonitions of what could become of apopulation sensitized by Aspartame and then exposed toformaldehyde, or the likes, had proved to be all tocorrect. From Reagan at the top, down to a few poorhousewives wanting to get a little cash for Christmas,our society had already been demonstrably turnedtopsy-turvy by it.I now resumed writing for the local newspapers, andwent on Cox Cable TV, discussing the hazards ofAspartame and how it had changed my life. My firstAspartame poisoned patient back in Kansas had, soonafter starting on the Diet Pepsi, became depressed,and broke down crying, whilst previously she had beena happy person. She had withdrawal symptoms withshakiness and tremors in the evenings, when she didn’tdrink it. She also developed a skin reddening, sunsensitivity, and heat intolerance. Her arthritisflared. All of which cleared, upon discontinuing theDiet Pepsi. She also underwent similar withdrawals,and convulsed upon stopping the Diet Pepsi. When shelater took a flu shot, which had never bothered herbefore Nutra Sweet, she came to my office with a rash,which consisted of scattered red itchy blotches(“giant urticariae” in medical terms), and a shakytremor, and arthralgias, much like she had experiencedon Nutra Sweet. I assured her that Nutra Sweet hadleft her formaldehyde sensitized, like it had me. Herrash responded to antihistamine and corticosteroidtreatment. I did not know to give her dexamethasone, which wouldhave been both cheaper and safer for her, (A singleone mg tablet would have been completely safe andeffective for her, and would have, because of itsabout 8-12 hour half life, tapered itself out of herbody in a very clinically efficacious manner.) I hadbeen imbued in medical school, and afterwards to usethe far more dangerous prednisone, which hassignificant side effects of causing insomnia, andemotional and mental changes such as depression andpsychosis, usually more pronounced in men. It iscatabolic, breaking down tissues such as muscle, boneand skin, and it must be given in multiple doses andtapered off to get an equivalent effect that you getfrom a single, one tablet, large pulsed dose ofDexamethasone. Dexamethasone on the other hand is, ina short pulse, mildly anabolic and does not causemental depression or insomnia. If patented today, itwould be hailed as a “wonder drug” and sold for $30 to$50 per pill. Doxepin likewise!Prednisone given as a single shot of methylprednisolone is, of course, more expensive and risky,and has as its most important disadvantage, the factthat the CHz patient cannot simply take a single,usually curative dose at home, as the need arises, butmust seek out medical care which is expensive,unpleasant, and untimely, at best, and unavailing andineffective at worst. In my few days of practicebefore leaving Kansas, I saw a second Aspartame victimpatient, who likewise suffered with mental depressionand formaldehyde sensitivity, and who convulsed onlywhen using Aspartame. It became known that I was a Nutra Sweet victim, andknew something of the poisoning. Quite a few Aspvictims began to come to my practice. They wererelieved to find a doctor who would believe thestriking problems they had to deal with fromAspartame. To solve my own problems, as well astheirs, I turned to the then current medicalliterature to look for helpful information. Thatavailed me nothing. It was totally unresponsive to ourneeds. To read the medical literature of ’82-83 youwould almost be made to think that formaldehyde wasgood for you. At that point I was forced to exercisewhat is oft called “scientific methodology.” I wouldhave to search for valid information wherever I couldfind it, and from that draw a coherent and workablepicture. I went to the legal profession who arehighly trained in analytical reasoning, and who weresuccessfully suing polyurethane/formaldehydepoisoning/hypersensitivity cases, to get theinformation they were working with. They told me thelack of medical knowledge in the area was hamperingbecause they needed the knowledge. Expert medicaltestimony was weak, and difficult to come by. Thatis, of course, how the fascist power structure wantsit. They want to dump their cheap, toxic, andhopefully profitable chemicals on you and, if theyhurt you, to just dump you on the trash heap. Ididn’t know that then, but did know that I, and manyothers, desperately needed real answers or we weregoing to perish.I tabulated a chart on the formaldehyde related issuesdocumented in the legally resourced, scientificliterature that had arisen from studies of the effectsof methanol, methyl esther, and formaldehydeexposures, and correlated it with the effects ofAspartame exposure and CHz, as evidenced in mypatients and myself. With this, I was drawing a veryreal, and well correlated perspective; but not manygood answers, as to what the therapeutic approachesmight be. I needed good answers! I had learned fromthe attorneys that Dr Gordon Baker, a board certifiedallergist/immunologist in Burien, a suburb of Seattlewas the Northwest’s expert on formaldehyde poisoningand hypersensitivity. Gordon very courteouslywelcomed me to come and observe and consult with himfor a couple of days. Shirley and I spent well, thetime with Gordon and his lovely wife. I almost sawthe hair on Gordon’s head stand up as he scrutinizedmy chart. It certainly didn’t tell him anything hedidn’t already know. What fascinated him was thatanother well-trained physician from a differentspecialty, and totally devoid of any contacts, hadsearched diligently and found the same information andsame conclusions that he had. Gordon was way out inthe frontier, beyond where the power structure hasdrawn the borders, and he had just met another“frontiersman”. Now my efforts were to pay off. I had a lot ofpainful learning experiences, and had put in a lot ofeffort to find and digest information, but as of yet,I had met no one who could help me crystallize thisinto a valid therapeutic discipline. Gordon was thecatalyst that accomplished that. He educated me tothe fact my patients, and myself, were not justformaldehyde sensitized, but that we now had CHz, andthat it would cause all sorts of severe autoimmunedamage in response to all sorts of possible chemicalexposures. The therapeutic responses to theseproblems and crises should logically be similar totreating allergies, and immune crises in general. There could be a growing therapeutic armamentarium ofspecific techniques as we accumulated experience. Hetold me the most therapeutic agent for dailymaintenance, that he knew of, was the trace mineralselenium, at doses of about 200 mcg/day, and that hewas having superior results with Sea Sel, kelpselenium. Strict avoidance was the main issue. Antihistamines were somewhat helpful, but he knew weneeded something better, more wide spectrum, and morepowerful. He also said we needed to find or developbetter therapeutic regimens, and that I shouldprobably be able to find help in that direction, inthe newly developing community of environmentalecologists. He gave me the names and telephone #s ofthe ones he had found to be leaders around the nation,and the #s of some of the best materials and chemicalsengineers that had insights into the field. The other reason the hair stood up on the back ofGordon’s neck when he read my chart, was that NutraSweet had been poisoning him! He was havingheadaches, depression, and his hair was falling outfrom it, etc. He was so brainwashed by the medicalestablishment, and the potent brainwashing effect ofAsp that he, the Northwest’s expert on formaldehydepoisoning, was suffering grievously from formaldehydepoisoning from Aspartame, and couldn’t grasp what thesource of his distress was. Gordon improveddramatically and rapidly, off of the Diet Pepsi. Inthe ensuing year he found, in his busy practice, morepeople formaldehyde poisoned by Aspartame than allother sources combined. You can, by now, surely graspwhy I have set myself to fight this battle, whereverthat might lead. If a man blessed with Gordon’swealth of knowledge, needed to be told, in order toknow? How worse do those not so blessed need ourhelp? How defenseless are infants in their mother’swomb who are being aborted, or worse, by it? Gordon then gave me serious counsel that I must keepquiet about this, and only quietly treat my ownpatients or, “They would utterly destroy me.” That isjust not my style. The bible endows us with the dutyto help keep others from perishing and benights themaccording to their need of our protection. I wentforth from Gordon’s collegiate embrace to “save theworld” on this issue. I rapidly set about building myexpertise, now that I could really “get my teeth intoit.” Unbeknown to me, the opposition was already seton gnashing their teeth into me. I rapidly accumulated a file comprised of thirty-fivepatients poisoned by Aspartame, to report to the FDA. These were people who were incensed by what Asp haddone to them and wanted to see something done aboutit. They were eager to cooperate with the FDA, in anyway possible, to set the record straight, and seeAspartame off the market. If anything brainwashes usworse than Aspartame it must be the drivel they teachus as adolescents in “civics” classes. I had seen andlearned more than enough by now to know that ourgovernment was corrupted beyond reprieve. But justlike Gordon, I couldn’t see what was right in front ofall our eyes. I contacted the FDA to discuss thecases I had collected with them, confident we were onthe logical route via a scientifically logical agencythat had somehow been mislead, to set matters aright. Shortly, a lady with FDA credentials appeared at mydoor, a Mrs. Herschberger, as I remember. She saidshe was there to take the case histories from me. Iwelcomed her warmly and made her comfortable in myprivate office only to receive the surprise of mylife! As soon as the door was closed and we werealone, her face turned as hostile as the countenanceof the devil himself. She glared and said, “Doctor Bowen we don’t like whatyou are doing, and we are ordering you to stop.” Well she had just met her match! I answered. “Youcame here for the stated purpose of discussing thecases of Asp poisoning that I have collected with me,and carrying those reports back to the FDA. ARE yougoing to do that or not! She merely glared and Iglared back. I said “ I don’t see your pen out takingnotes” either get your pen out or leave.” Sheproduced a pen and then slammed it down on the deskbetween us and glared. I produced the first recordand started going through it with her. Sheinterrupted frequently to shout, “We don’t want to dothis”. The whole thirty-five cases went that way. Ididn’t know it then, but she was probably the firstone, of many demonically possessed people I have hadto work with who were opposing truth on the Asp andCHz issue. Not that when I sent her away, packing thethirty five cases, along with her notes on each, didit accomplish any thing to clean up our government.I was starting to learn about the politics of Asp. Imeanwhile called an RN friend who did private dutynursing in the wealthy neighborhoods of Chicago, toshare with him what I had found. He had been workingfor Donald Rummsfeld’s next door neighbor and knewmore about Rummsfeld than one person in a millionwould ever know, because the household help comparednotes with each other about the goings on in therespective homes that they worked in. That makes itabout a one in a trillion chance that I should get adirect channel of information, at point blank range,about Rummsfeld. If the lord didn’t want me to learnthis I wouldn’t have, and if he didn’t want you tohear it from me I wouldn’t be alive to tell you. Notthat they haven’t tried. The attempts on my lifesince that time have been persistent, well worked out,and oft pursued by those skilled in such endeavors. The Lord has spared my life in the face of impossibleodds. My friend heard what I had to say, andresponded “Jim, you have to get off of this right now!Rummsfeld is the most powerful Godfather in USorganized crime. He runs “Murder Incorporated.” Youare a dead man. Even his neighbors are terrified ofhim.”That was not what I wanted to hear, but it was noteven a surprise, because I had already heard such fromthe well-placed scientists, that I was by now, rubbingshoulders with. The use of selenium indeed helped my CHz, but couldnot by any means replace what was really needed, whichwas avoiding the pollution in the Ridgefield area. The Mayor saw this. One day Mayor Bill came to see meand said. “Jim we love having you here as a doctor,but you are way too hypersensitive to this pollutionproblem here in town. Why don’t you move up by thejunction, (about two miles away) and get out of theworst of this.” It was interesting that the Mayor wassecure in his diagnosis, and was way ahead of most ofthe doctors in our country. On the political front, things were moving along at adizzying pace. The CBS evening news called and said“We would like to put you on TV”. “Great! I reallywant to get something done about this.” From thatpoint on they seemed to be vaguely hostile, eventhreatening. I’m not one to allow games to go beyonda certain point. So I asked. ”You know. I reallydon’t hear you setting any dates to go on TV. Did youcall me to threaten me, or are you really going to putme on TV?” They were taken aback and blurted out. “Well! You call Dr Monte at Arizona State in Tempe,and if after you have talked to him, you still want togo on TV, call us back.” I called Woody Monte the next day. He was a PhDbiochemist and nutritionist, the head of the nutritiondepartment at ASU. He was also a broken man. He wasabout a year ahead of me on Asp. He had stumbled ontohow toxic Asp was when he provided it to his femaleathletes, on a pre-release basis, and suddenly had abunch of sick girls on his hands. He had looked, andfound much of the same things I had. He had writtenan excellent manuscript “Methanol and the Publichealth”. He and Johanna Bommersbach of the Phoenix“New Times” had carried out a campaign to enlightenthe public. He and the Arizona Dietetic associationhad sued to take Asp off the market in Arizona. Monteand the Community Nutrition Institute in WN, DC hadsued in Federal District Court in D.C. to take it offthe market nationwide. (Along with Dr Dick Wurtman,the head of neuro endrocrinology at MIT, and Dr JohnOlney the Head of biological psychiatry at WashingtonU. in St Louis.) The only result: Woody, who was only a few weeks fromhaving tenure at the University, was fired because ofpolitical pressure on ASU from the Feds. CBS’s planbackfired. Instead of Monte and Wurtman discouragingme, I helped them get their courage up again. It waspredictable, that if Aspartame was really the poisonthat they knew it to be, medical doctors should becoming forward with evidence of this. Well there Iwas! A victim myself, well informed, articulate, networked with other “frontiersmen”, and a collector ofand doctor to many patients afflicted by Aspartame’stoxicity. Rummsfeld, who could care less about humanbeings, or science, had challenged Monte and Wurtmanthat “their science” was worthless. The stuff hadbeen released for general consumption, and was beingwidely used, and presumably, no practicing doctor wasfinding any problems. Thanks to CBS! In spite ofthemselves, they had gotten us networked, and thefrivolous arguments of the opposition were blown away.Monte and Wurtman let CBS know that we were ready togo.My political reality education took another great leapforward when the evening news came to my clinic tofilm. Ned Potter was the “syndicate man” along. Hewas giving me all sorts of eye signs that he reallydidn’t want to do this and he was evasive anduninterested, but his crew had escaped his control. They were on a run. They had found a meaningful,newsworthy situation! One of them came to realize thatAsp was poisoning her. If she chewed even a half astick of Nutra Sweet gum, she got a roaring headache.Now she knew why. I had patients, and charts and wasa fountain of information about Aspartame. Ned calledRather. “The situation has gotten out of control herein Ridgefield, Dan. The crew is all excited and theyare going to make a real story out of this. I can’tcontrol them!”……”Hold everything. I’m coming on out there.” Nedsimply stalled a few more hours while Dan jumped inthe old corporate jet and came on out. When DanRather walked into my clinic he was furious! Helooked like he had a cloud of satanic anger over hishead. As soon as he entered, and looked around the“funny stuff” started. He said, ”We’re not going totalk about formaldehyde toxicity, and methyl alcoholand all that stuff. We’re not going to show thatchart. Were not going to show any patients. As amatter of fact we are not even going to film in thisclinic.” Dan then asked, rather guiltily, for two copies of thechart. Doubtless: One for himself and one forRummsfeld, with whom he shared a jointly owned partyranch out west. I have since heard, from those whoknow Satanism as it exists in our government verywell, that Dan is the head Satanist as far as media isconcerned, and CBS the most heavily infiltrated network. They were certainly working together well onthe Asp and CHz issue. When Dan found out that I knewRummsfeld to be the most powerful godfather in the US,the head of the Jewish Mafia, he was livid and wantedto know how I could be party to that information. Itold him I had a nurse friend who worked next door,and even spent time visiting in the Rummsfeldhousehold. Dan growled out; “That man is going tocatch a bullet”. I wondered why this supposedly greatnewscaster was acting like a Mafioso. My friend, infact caught a computer bullet. He was fired and hasnever been able to work as nurse since. He is foreverblackballed in nursing.They filmed me in my apartment that night, and whenthe show was aired on TV, they cut my presentationdown to three words. They asked, “Would you use NutraSweet.” “No, I wouldn’t.” They hadn’t even told who Iwas or where I was from. Those three words wouldnever constitute quackery. The next day, the papersin Portland, Vancouver, and down the Columbia toLongview, and up river as far as the Tri Cities allcarried headlines, “DR BOWEN CHARGED WITH QUACKERY FORCRITICIZING NUTRA SWEET ON TV”. Some of the smallweeklies no longer printed for themselves, but wereprinted by the Oregonian in Portland, or the Columbianin Vancouver, so they were actually printed inadvance, before the CBS news episode was aired. I’msure this was meant to send not so subliminal messagesto other doctors, that they best not, for their owngood, find anything wrong with Nutra Sweet. That wasthe final blow that financially destroyed my practicein Ridgefield. They had already set up a hit on mylife, but he wasn’t able to fire the shot until justafter the TV program. The gunman had been coming tome as a patient for a couple of weeks but could notset up his shot until later. I will someday have towrite a book about all of this.I spotted an urgent medical need going unmet inClarkston, WA, and quickly moved there to save myfinancial solvency. I had moved from the frying paninto the fire, in more ways than one! Shirley and Iwere once more sick with CHz. The big Potlatch pulpmill was located just across the Snake River inLewiston, Idaho! Clarkston sits down in the mouth ofHell’s Canyon and shares its trapped air with themill. We had gone from the frying pan into the firein yet another way. When I first drove into Clarkstonfrom the west, right out in the open, along thehighway at the west edge of town, was “Charbonneau’s”a large, busy, blatantly advertised brothel, run bythe Jewish mafia out of Las Vegas. Not only had theymisappropriated the name of Sacajawea’s husband. Theyhad corrupted the Courts of Asotin County. I wasright back in amongst the political force behind NutraSweet. They, needless to say, destroyed me. Anythingyou can think of doing to a political dissident: I’vebeen there. They’ve done it to me. I am alive only by the Lord’s protection! I had been researching the possibles, to find amedicine that should be helpful to those afflictedwith CHz. One stood out, above all otherpossibilities, as the best candidate. That wasdoxepin. As mentioned earlier, it is fantasticallysafe when used at therapeutic doses, and has manybeneficial actions built right into that one moleculethat are known to be helpful inhypersensitivity/autoimmunity reactions. Dr RussBanks, my family doctor prescribed it for me. Becauseit is such a potent anti histamine, I had the expectedside effect of extreme initial drowsiness and, in factslept the whole day I took the first dose. Thisreaction, common to all, is called “antihistaminedaze.” I had anticipated this, so wasn’t frightenedby it. Someone not allowing for a couple days off toget started on doxepin, and not starting it at a lowdose like 10 mg or so, would find this initial extremedrowsiness at least frightening. The next day I wasstill a little drowsy, but after that the drowsinesswas not noticeable, and within a week or so wasreplaced by the mild antidepressant effect for whichdoxepin was originally marketed. Russ wanted me totry dexamethasone. He knew well its advantages andused it. When he could finally convince me to try it,the results in every way spoke for themselves. Forthe brief time I could practice in Clarkston, I hadmany gratified patients who were happy to find adoctor who was able and willing to treat theirchemical hypersensitivity diseases. Years later: I was able to try and get on my feetafter the political buzz saw I was run through inAsotin County. I found myself in Ontonagon, locatedin the upper peninsula of Michigan, 350 miles duenorth of Madison, WI on icy Lake Superior. This was true north woods country, where chill factorsof minus ninety and absolute temperatures more thanfourty below zero could happen. Ontonagon averagesmore than 300 inches of snow per winter. The summersare brief but memorable, spring and fall but passingfancies. Winter reigns! My political education was tobe continued. Ontonagon is a paper mill town. Michigan had been pretty well dominated by its autoindustry and union politics, so the pulp and paperindustry had to toe the line. You could be right by apaper mill in either Ontonagon or Munising and notsmell it. That’s right! The stench, and pollutants,which the pulp and paper industry spews into theatmosphere and waters of other states isn’t at allnecessary. It’s just cheaper to buy both thepoliticians and the media, than to clean up your act. How conscientious of both! Clarkston had a large nursing facility full of thoseborn deformed, as the result of the pulp pollutants inHell’s Canyon. They spent their existence, not“lives”, tucked away from public view. MPTP,(1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetra-hydro-pyridine) isthe pulp pollutant most responsible. There are plentyof others such as sulphites, etc. MPTP alone is anextremely potent cause of birth defects, such ashydrocephalus, microcephalus, neuro tube defects, andall types of neuro degenerative diseases, andpervasive developmental disorders. Mitochondrialdeficiency dzes of all types are also produced by it. MPTP acts through destruction of mitochondria, andmitochondrial competence by generating super oxidefree radicals in the mitochondria. MPTP has beenknown for 60 years to produce these lesions. Thedamage is so classical and predictable of pattern thatMPTP is used to produce research animals of variouslesions, and dz patterns to test drug actions on. Little surprise that CHz and Asp toxic people don’t dowell in pulp air. How promising Ontonagon seemed. The air coming in offof Lake Superior was fresh and clean. I encounteredsome CHz patients glad to find a doc that they couldwork with. Sometimes the news I had for them justwasn’t good though. If they lived in a house that wastoxic to them, they surely didn’t like facing the factthey had to move. Avoidance is the key in CHz. Icould offer them treatment, but no resolution exceptto change their environment. This caused some realhostility on the part of their spouses who feltperfectly healthy and could detect no odor or anythingelse wrong in the same house. Those who worked in asmall local industry, which exposed them to solvents,had no realistic option but to quit their badly neededjobs. In fact, their employer left the urban workzone to escape enforcement of EPA regs against whatthey were doing. It is not that we don’t haveadequate written legal protections. It is rather thatthe various satanic agencies grant immunity, thrumanipulation and corruption, to their brotherhoods. My optimisms about the clean air in Ontonagon soonwere found to have significant exceptions. I wouldwake up in the wee small hours of the morning,suddenly sick with CHz symptoms, and not know why. Iwas sure I could smell whiffs of burning sulfur. Oneof my patients, a delightful bright young highschooler, had figured out for herself that Nutra Sweetwas poisoning her, even causing her to convulse. Shehad gotten off of it, and seemed to have recovered. She didn’t have any idea about CHz, though, and whenshe began to convulse in the wee small hours of themorning she came to me, because she knew that I had aspecial interest in Aspartame related phenomena. Wecompared notes, and used our combined contacts to findout just what was stalking us in the wee hours. Wefound that the Stone Container paper mill wasillegally burning high sulfur coal. The burnt sulfurcompounds were lifted high in the air by thermalconvection. But when the chill of night caused alakeshore inversion phenomenon, they were dumped downall over the town. She began sleeping at a relative’s house about tenmiles out of town, and never convulsed again. I movedabout five miles west of town, and I, no longergetting the inverted burnt sulfur, was no longerbothered at night. Sulphur dioxide (SO2) emissionsfrom power plants burning high sulfur coal kills11,000 people, in the US alone, every year. Thisviolates state, federal, and international law, andtreaty provisions. There is no enforcementwhatsoever. Welcome to the “New World Order” ashighly touted by Geo Bush Sr. There are horribleproblems from SO2 in Colorado Springs. They won’tprotect even their own “spooks” from it! There were afew other personal lessons to be learned about CHz inOntonagon. I was now a bachelor and decided to have afew drinks in the evening. Boom! My CHz was back witha vast upheaval of neurological symptoms. I had tothink about that! Well it makes sense. Alcohol is aneurotoxin and so would denature neural tissue. Italso is a potent solvent. Solvents are famous forflaring CHz. Okay but what about a glass of wine inthe evening. I found it would also flare my LouGehrig’s symptoms, polymyalgias, etc. and woulddepress me to boot. Well, after all, wines andbrandies have far more methanol and other congenersthan does beer or other spirits. None are free ofmethanol, and other problematic congeners though. TheCHz patient simply has to stay away from all beveragescontaining any alcohol. Wines and wine coolers usesulfites (SO2) as preservative. Well, there goes theSangria! Tobacco is devastating in CHz. I grew up in asmoking home. The only colors of inside air Ibreathed were the different layers of smoky blue. Allmy adult life until Asp and CHz, I found the smell oftobacco smoke to be pleasantly aromatic. Now even asmoker who has it in their clothing smells horrible tome, and being around one will make me ill. The wholerevolt against public smoking has come about sinceAspartame was marketed. I understand why! Thesymptoms, and the flares of symptoms you get fromdifferent things and in different circumstances willoften be inconsistent. You will not have a consistentpattern or symptom complex every time you have aproblem with CHz. Remarkable variability of symptomsand reactivity is the usual.An RN, who was having such fits with autoimmunitydiseases, that she had gone to an excellent nearby(175mi) regional referral center for sub specialtycare, fell into my care when she asked if she couldcome home to Ontonagon for a second pulsed regimen ofIV methyl prednisolone. She had been to Marshfield aweek or two previously, but her auto immunities hadagain flared. She was back up to the Marshfieldclinic for a second pulsed regimen of 3000 mg for 4days. Those large doses of IV methyl prednisolone arevery expensive, and along with the hospitalizationcould probably represent a $15-$20,000 cost. Bycomparison, she could safely have taken a pulse ofabout 4 mg/day of dexamethasone at home for abouttwenty cents! She needed to be close to her family. She asked her Marshfield docs if she could have meadminister the solu medrol in our little north woodshospital, and they kindly agreed. I met her for thefirst time as I walked into her room. She wascradling a Diet Pepsi in her hand. She had thedepression and mental skitzyness that someone who hasbeen blown away by Aspartame often exhibits becausethey mentally, are toxically impaired. No one cangive them sensible answers that lead to a resolutionof their problems. They are moreover, out of physicaland mental condition from the disease processes thatafflict them. So she was! I gently assured her thatshe could relax; I was just there to cooperate fullywith her and the Marshfield doctors’ wishes. After taking a complete history and physical, Iordered the IV Solu Medrol. I then took the time torelate to her my experiences with Aspartame, and thetoxic mechanisms by which it had done this to her.(She had wildly flared SLE, Systemic LupusErythematosis and Periarteritis Nodosum, and statusepilepticus.) She was quite paranoid from the meds,the diseases, her post ictal state, and the Asp. Ididn’t know if I was getting through to her at all. Apparently, on contemplation, she put the wholepicture together, and noted that her epilepsy, whichwas usually well controlled on Dilantin andPhenobarbital, had gone completely out of control whenshe went on the Diet Pepsi. She arrived at Ontonagon,convulsing up to fourty times per day in spite ofheavy doses of anti convulsants. She quit the DietPepsi immediately, and in within 24 hrs herconvulsions were under control. Her Lupus and PeriArteritis also cleared rapidly and never recurredagain. She later went on to do something I would neverhave dared counsel her to do. She went off of all heranticonvulsants, and has never seized since! Maybethere is one legitimate use for Aspartame. Perhapssomeone with status epilepticus could burn out theirseizure centers with it. Her problems were clusteredso atypically, while on Asp, and so completely clearedwhen she came off of it, that as in my case, herfellowProfessionals felt they had to assume she was a druguser, or SOMETHING. It couldn’t have been that ”safe,natural, FDA approved Diet Pepsi.”Neither Ontonagon, nor the Upper Peninsula, as of yethave seceded from the Lower Peninsula, so they are runby Detroit and Lansing just as much as Jackson is. And Detroit is right in there with Portland, NY, andLA as centers of Jewish power control. SO, mypractice in Ontonagon was not to be allowed tocontinue. First my malpractice insurance through thestate pool was withdrawn. When I appealed thisdecision, the panel of Jewish doctors I appearedbefore in Lansing would merely say. “We don’t want toinsure a doctor like you.” They could cite no reasonother than that. So I went to work as medicaldirector at North American Biologicals in Lansing. Iam of Jewish ancestry and so am sometimes morecognizant of things “Jewish.” A friend of mine,likewise of Jewish ancestry, but in no way actuallypracticing any of the variants of Judaism, exceptbible based Christianity, ran with the Jewish crowd inAnn Arbor at the U of M in 1967. Rummsfeld informed them in 1967, through B’nai B’rith(Oft called “Benny” by those who feel they benefitthrough it.) that he was going to make Jerry Fordpresident. At that time Ford was a virtually unknownjunior congressman from Minnesota. Watergate was 7years in the future! Rummsfeld then did make JerryPresident and was chief of staff in the Ford whitehouse. The last few weeks of the Ford presidency heassumed the title of “secretary of defense”. Rummsfeld, in the intervening years remained in theDOD only as an organized crime influence, and wasthoroughly despised by the decent people in ourdefense department, even though his influence was suchthat the news media often called him ”the secretary ofdefense” and the real appointees did not so much asdare make an issue of it. I hope this helps you to understand why Aspartame goton the market, and remains there. I.e.: What would bemore important? Minor indiscretions in the Nixoncampaign, or the millions adults and infants alike,whose bodies and lives are forever ruined, and thehealth and that of future generations of billionsdoomed by the impaired DNA, RNA, and Mt DNA in theirbodies from “Nutra Sweet,” which Rummsfeld, in histypical arrogant “godfather” style, bragged ofinitiating, telling the press. “I pulled in all mymarkers to get Aspartame marketed.” Reagan referredto Rummsfeld as “my undersecretary of defense.” Youhave recently seen momentous steps taken to abandonevery republican principle upon which the US wasbuilt. You are seeing them replaced by a fascistempire. It is difficult to believe that the twin towers werenot adequately protected. They were in “no fly”airspace, which was protected with great redundancy. They had their own radar, which was backed up bycivilian and military radar systems. They had, on theroof, their own battery of anti-aircraft missiles. They also had two attack helicopters, armed withanti-aircraft missiles and other anti aircraftweaponry, all quite sufficiently redundant to MORETHAN stop anything that might come at them. They werein addition, protected by military aircraft. In spiteof all this: They came to be hit by an airplane. Thesecond hit was even more a military impossibility, and5 minutes AFTER the President, speaking from Floridahad already said it had happened. NO wonder Rummsfeldgrowled ominously through the media; “Anyone who givesaway any information which endangers this operationwill be dealt with severely”. Nutra Sweet wassupposed to have you so brain numb, and your will soderailed that you would believe any thing the mediaserved up to you, and anything the government dishedout. I hope not. We need to pay attention to known facts. It was on the morning of 9-11 that Rummsfeld was to beinvestigated before an internal investigativecommittee on matters of his organized crimemalfeasance while lurking around, and running programsin the DOD under the Bushes and Reagan. The fallingtowers provided him, and the Bushes the urgentlyneeded diversion, just as their fraternal cousinHitler provided cover for his preposterousdictatorship by taking some convicts out of prison,and to the polish border, dressing them in Polishuniforms and gunning them down in a border station. He declared war on Poland because “Germany had beenattacked by Poland.”Back in Ontonagon! I had arranged malpracticeinsurance through a private company and was back inpractice. The Satanists were just not content to haveme buried in a busy practice in one of the most remotecommunities in the US. It was all the more out of theway, because winter blizzards can isolate thecommunity for a couple days at a time. Yes, once againI was charged with quackery for stating that Aspartameis toxic. When I provided my attorney a file of morethan adequate information, the quackery charges weredropped. My attorney, who should have been elated wasso mad that, he “poor boy”, had to stand up to thepolitics of Detroit and Lansing, that he threw thefiles at my feet, and shouted “I cannot give youeffective representation without ruining my politicalcareer.” Yes, we live in a dictatorship whereattorneys must always serve our dictators. So, hebecame their pimp and sold me just like my attorney inClarkston had. The political machinery of Satanism(the Masonic orders, B’nai B’rith and Illuminati, openSatanism, witchcraft in all its’ forms, etc.) is sopowerful in our sick world that virtually everyattorney has sold himself to them. And: They have theblackmail, and terror weapons to back it up with. Youcannot become a federal judge in this USA unless theyhave enough documented immorality on you to controlyou forever. That is the real “war on terrorism” thatneeds to be waged on our behalf. My attorney then said that I was to be tried on thebasis that I was mentally ill, because I had said thatAspartame was toxic. He missed every filing date forentering evidence, so that the facts becameirrelevant. (Or whatever; On the Aspartame issue thereign of law, right and wrong, concern for humanwelfare, truth or science are irrelevant: All elsemust fall as needed to perpetuate Aspartame.) I had amental exam before Benedict and Arnold in Ann Arbor,MI. Once again the facts were irrelevant. Aspartamewas on the market, and that was that. I was not goingto be allowed to talk about it. They would ask mequestions and would try to drown me out but I wouldcompletely answer them with solid biochemistry, whichwas irrelevant. They later destroyed the tape of theinterview so nothing could be proven, except that thatin their opinion, even though they could find noevidence of a psychosis, believing that Aspartame wastoxic was a delusion so dangerous, that it made me toodangerous as a doctor to safely practice medicine. Arnold was the head of the American PsychologicalAssociation, and Benedict three times the head of theAmerican Psychiatric Association. They asked me how itcould be politically possible for such a foul compoundto be on the market. I went into Rummsfeld’s andRather’s roles, as exemplary. Benedict came unglued.She started rocking back and forth in agony of souland started screaming “I HATE THAT CONCEPT, I HATETHAT CONCEPT”. I had seen similar behavior on the part of my littleJewish grandmother when she listened to radio reportscoming out of Germany as it was falling, near the endof WWII. She would rock back and forth in the samedistraught manner, screaming; “OH those dirty Germans,those dirty Germans.” Apparently we are to accept thereign of Jewish organized crime and Hassidic fascismjust because the Illuminati, the spiritual andorganizational descendants of the sun worshippingsatanic pagans, who anciently got Israel and Judahdestroyed by their activities, and politicalleadership in those nations, now have again and still,taken the name “Jewish” upon themselves. They arenow seeing to the destruction of the world with thesame ruthless, determined Satanism. Said my attorney. You just can’t talk about “Jewish”issues. Has speech no freedom or truth no libertyanymore? How much evil should be allowed to hidebehind the skirts of “anti anti Semitism”? (“Aunty” isthe best acronym I could think of) My Jewishprosecutor, openly made opposing Aspartame, a matterof “anti Semitism.” If so, we should all best proudlybe called “anti semites.” Is that what it takes tostand up for science, sanity and human welfare? Isthat what it takes to stand for truth and humanity?They also played the “Jewish” card in their coverstory about from where Aspartame came; stating that a“Jewish scientist” had accidentally got his fingers insome, and then into his mouth went the fingers. Voila!He discovered Aspartame to be sweet. Impossible,because Aspartame is not sweet, it is bitter and foulflavored. They have to mix other neuro toxins withit, to create a sweet flavor, to even get it into youas a sweetener. They go on their evil way, not evenlisting those ”tastands”, as required by law. Howcould they? Those are not safe for market either. The horribly toxic diketopiperazine of Aspartame isalso added to food in spite of its bitterness, andcannot be made sweet tasting in any manner. Almost all the good people who are, or have been mycollaborators in opposing Aspartame are either Jewish,or like myself, of Jewish descent. Were I born inGermany, I was exterminated. That didn’t stop mylittle Jewish prosecutor, who missed WWII by a coupledecades, from going to Dr Ralph Walton, one of mydefense witnesses, and telling him that he shouldn’ttestify on my behalf because I was “anti Semitic”. What to make of all this? The facts are the onlyrelevant thing. “Jewish is as Jewish does.” Isn’tthat fair? Enough of the “political correctness”,already! Any other cards the Satanists want toplay are just window dressing, usually playeddeceptively to set human beings against each otherwith name calling and, “let’s you and him fight” wordgames. It is transparent, that Satan, like his loyalfollower Rummsfeld, pulled in all his “Jewish cards”on this one. “Benny and Aunty’s” skirts have worn fartoo thin from covering so much evil and satanicmalice. You can see right through. My life without a medical license hasbeen an ongoing education in the toxicity ofAspartame. I continue to encounter ruthless Satanistsat every turn. They seem to think they can undo theirmistake, of not leaving me isolated in Ontonagon, bykilling me, or going to even more preposterous lengthsto discredit me and the others who speak truthfully onAsp. I applied for a vets comp pension in Portland,Oregon. I was VA hospitalized on neurology service,on the false pretense that I had to be hospitalizedfor an MRI and CAT scan for my pension evaluation dueto “VA rules.” Then they said that that thepsychiatry residents had to make rounds on me too. The Jewish psychiatry residents would come to my roomwith such open malice that they appeared snakelike intheir posturing. Just eager to strike! Wouldn’t youknow! I had several previous adverse psychiatricexams that stated otherwise, by people far more expertthan they, and all backed up by extensive psychometrictesting! But that didn’t stop them! They inventedthat I had an “atypical psychosis” “Now. What doesthat mean?” A lot of people have asked me. It merelymeans they don’t like what I was saying and they weredetermined to destroy with the most potent psychopolitical weapon available to them at the moment,shouting. “PSYCHOTIC.” Needless to say, I removedmyself from their hospital before they could fire morepotent weapons. They were exemplary of what Satandoes to people who sell themselves by aligning withany of his various orders. They are possessed assurely as they accept even identification as a group. They become little more than psychopathic egomaniacsjust like their master, Satan and have nothing butmalice to offer as professionals, complete hypocrites,willing, even eager pimps for Satan. Anyposition they may be in is no longer fitly filled fora decent society.The monologue “Psycho Politics” from the Church ofScientology is probably the best monograph availableto bring you up to date with the way mass mind controlagents, like Aspartame, and the psychology/psychiatricpower structures are being used to control politicaldissident in our country, and also documents its rootsin modern times. It has been around as long asSatanism has. In medieval times, scientists wereburned at the steak for stating that the world wasround, not flat, like the power structure said it was.After all that, I got a letter on official VAstationary stating that the final hearing for a VApension had been delayed until later. A few dayslater I got a letter stating I had been denied pensionbecause I had failed to appear! Some of the lastnames given to Satan, in the bible, are ”liar”,“murderer”, “accuser of the brethren”, and “destroyerof the earth.” His followers at every level, in everyprofession are addicts to these activities. Those whojoin his fraternities and reap his “bait”, becomepossessed of his demons and are no longer capable ofthe good they otherwise would be. The monkey trap! They can’t let go without the help of the Lord theyhave rejected. I refer to the Creator of the infiniteuniverse, and Redeemer of this finite world, referredto by some as “Allah”, and by others as “Jehovah”,who, when he chose to show his character to usincarnate, and became through love permanently bondedto us: one with us, was called Christ, the “Messiah”,the “Son of God”. I have tried making an honest living in everyconceivable way that I could find, but so far, theLord Jehovah has allowed the Satanists to keep theirthreat to see to it that I would never ”have anything,be anything or do anything.” I have been stuck inPortland, more or less, while trying to get VA comp. I have had opportunity to, in this horribly pollutedcorner of the world, see CHz disease at work. I triedunsuccessfully to make a living drivingtranscontinental truck. I have encounteredIlluminati satanic influence in every area of ournational fabric. Every truck I ever took out ended upbeing sabotaged, usually in the owner’s shop. Oneexample: I was arriving in Vallejo, CA, fromPortland, OR. I had ridden my jake brakes through theSiskiyous or I wouldn’t have gotten that far, by anymeans. As I was going downhill into Vallejo, I saw ared light a block ahead of me. I hit my brakes. Therewere no brakes. That doesn’t happen with air brakes,because as long as you have air pressure, the brakeswork, and if you don’t have lots of air pressure, thespring loaded emergency brakes lock the whole truckdown. That was not happening, and both lanes ahead ofme were packed with cars that did not know they wereabout to be turned into canned sardines. I was able to miss the car ahead of me only by theLord’s blessing. (It appeared physically impossible),and get into the right turn lane. That would flop thetruck over on its’ side and sweep the wholeintersection with 75 feet and 80,000 pounds ofdestruction. I had to go right on through the redlight, against traffic! “Thank God!” No one was hit. But not a minute to breath easy! Just two blocksahead of me was the next red light, and all threelanes were packed with cars. No way out! And thosepeople, likewise, were clueless that they were aboutto be mangled. I had no choice but to take the semiacross the median into the oncoming traffic, becausethey could see me coming, and take evasive action. Idid, and they did. I coasted down the hill and rolledinto a little truck stop that was conveniently locatedthere. I called my boss and told him what hadhappened.He shouted into the phone “Drive that truck on. Thereis nothing wrong with those brakes.” It took quite ashouting match to convince him that I would drive thetruck nowhere until the brakes were fixed. Themechanic arrived and fixed the brakes. The next hillI went over, the brakes were gone again. The mechaniccame out and fixed the brakes again. The brakes wentout a third time. I helped the mechanics each timethey fixed the brakes. Everything we saw wasevidence that the whole air brake system had beensystematically sabotaged. About nine out of tenthings you could have done to sabotage an air brakesystem, and make it appear normal on routine braketesting, before you took the truck out of the lot, hadbeen done: crossed air lines, cracked and brokencomponents, some not completely bolted on or the boltsleft loose, etc. Do you think that the Illuminati,Satanic power structure cared for even a second howmany they killed or mangled with their sick foolingaround? Not even for a second! Or they would neverunleash the nefarious chemical warfare agent,Aspartame on the unsuspecting world. In Portland, I found that I would wake up on many afresh clear spring or winter morning only to find mybody stinging all over with sharp electric shock likepains from multiple mono neuropathies, and my CHzgenerally flared up. I took a nightshift cab driverjob to see what had happened to me during the night. I observed that about midnight, or the wee small hoursof the morning that the Portland/Vancouver metroarea’s air often became a chemical “sewer.” Thenighttime inversions and still air effects dumped allthe accumulated pollution from higher levels down uponthe unsuspecting, sleeping populace in a dense,chemical pollutant smog. Then, as the rising sunwarmed the mountaintops, and air began to stir to theeast, the polluted air began to move on eastward andupward, and by the time the sun was well up, the airappeared pristine.I found that when the air was clean, my arthritispains, muscle aches and neurological problemsremarkably lessened, and my blood sugar levels werenormal. When inversions formed, everything got worse,and my blood sugars could go way high. I contractedLyme dz from a tick bite. The whole scenario wasatypical because of the CHz from Aspartame. Isuffered greatly, and was permanently damaged becausethe VA, my only source of medical care, was ignorantand totally indifferent. It took about a week to,because of my indigent status, and trying to get anycare from the VA, (which they diligently refused me),to get treated and that was a week too long to haverecurrent Lyme dz and CHz, in concert, ravaging mybody. This experience is detailed and correlated inmy article on Lyme disease on www.dorway.com. Aclearer copy is available on www.rense.com. Pollen and fungal bloom seasons are major traumas, nowthat my CHz is kept flared by the Portland pollutants.A Greyhound bus ride is a trip in a horror chamberfor me because of the chemicals and chronic fungalproblems in the buses. Drivers state that about halfof them, also are made really ill by the new buses andsome are ill, but not so severely. Which fits theother correlations that I have found, to theconclusion that probably 2/3 to ¾ of our populationnow have some degree of CHz, due to Aspartame. Timesof cool damp weather and oncoming low pressure frontsare also almost always a problem for me because theyfoster blooms of fungal sporulation and stableinversions. I once returned to Portland after anabsence to find that I could not stay in my van foreven a minute. It had been colonized by the horriblytoxic stachybotyris mold. My ozone and negative ionmachine, used overnight, made it healthy andcomfortable for me so long as the machine remained on,even though the stachybotyris remained active just afew inches away, under my mattress.The things you need to remember if you may be havingthese kinds of problems are to always listen to yourbody and to maintain a healthy paranoia and extremeskepticism. I have found that major corporations arewilling to sacrifice the public confidence in theirbrand names, which is worth billions to them, in orderto funnel Nutra Sweet into your body. I was told “allbran” cereal now has Aspartame listed on the label. There is no profit motive unless the words “Diet” or“sugar free” etc. are prominently advertised on thecontainer. So what is the motive for putting Asp ineverything else? In the summer of ’95, I found myselfmade ill, shortly after I started drinking a regularFresca. The regular Tab also had Asp. By the summerof ‘99 regular coke was withdrawn from market allacross the Caribbean, Mediterranean and Europe becausethey had apparently stuck Sweetener 2000, a morepotent variant of Aspartame, into it, with no publicnotice. The same epidemic occurred here in the US with flusymptoms, male sexual dysfunction, and polymyalgia/chronic fatigue symptoms being prominentfeatures. Coke had been the only pop I could drinkbecause it uses cresol as a preservative, as opposedto the others, which use sorbates, sorbitol, andbenzoates, which are like “death” to me. When itstarted giving me all the above, I looked around, andfound out what was going on elsewhere around theworld, and got off the coke. I improved. I thennoticed that the new Milky Way candy bars caused me torelapse. Oops! There went my favorite candy bar! Then Tropicana orange juice got to me. Then MinuteMaid orange juice got me. I have to admit that theneuro-excito toxin sweetener on top of the naturalsugar flavor in those products sure tasted good,though. In some nations Aspartame, and the like arenow being routinely added to sugar itself. I findthat off brands of juices, cereals, etc. are far saferfor me than major brand names. Cosmetics are realproblems. Plz see my other dorway articles like“Punditry and Palsies”, “Sperm Warfare”, etc. to getthe whole picture. Avoidance is the key to livingwith your CHz condition and staying healthy. As soonas I can get my pension matters resolved I am getting“The hell out of Portland”! Repugnancy is an important defense mechanism. Nomatter what! If some thing doesn’t seem, feel, smell,or taste right, obey your body’s good senseimmediately, and assiduously avoid it. The mere factthat it has once made you feel poorly is evidenceenough, that for you it is truly bad. Avoid denial. This is very hard to do. We all want to be “tough andcarry on.” So, we want to deny that something isbothering us, or that it will make us sick if weignore it. While writing this article, I was using afelt tip marker that smelled repugnant to me. Ishould have cast it aside. But I persisted with allsorts of rationalizations until I had the full blown“bonfire” effect going, in spite of the daily doxepinI was taking, and had to take a pulse of dexamethasoneget the “bonfire” quenched and get my health and bloodsugars back to normal. “ The bonfire effect” means you may not perceptiblyreact to a single exposure of the same chemicalstimulus when your CHz is quiescent, that you willhave a violent, “explosive” reaction to when your Chzis “flared”. Just like a wet pitch knot thrown on abonfire. Sometimes I have to sit in the balcony ofchurch, to avoid people and their cosmetics. I wouldlike to give you a complete as possible list of knowncausatives but that will have to await anotherarticle. Causatives can be quite varied. I use onlyoriginal Palmolive liquid dish soap for all mypersonal hygiene etc., because for me, it is theperfect shampoo, lacking any noxious problems for me.You will have to find what works for you.Formaldehyde and its congeners can be found ineverything from ice cream, to new concrete, to methylcellulose which gets around: About everywhere! Youwill encounter “sick air, sick water, sick buildings,sick areas (either from pollutants or positiveionization zones) sick food, and sick medicines. (Yes,they even put Asp into epilepsy medicine. It thengives you seizures instead of preventing them. Figurethat!), sick building materials, sick clothing, sickbedding, sick cars.“(Most ARE now.): And, on and on…. All with tragic results for you! You need to put alot of effort into finding what is wholesome for you,and avoiding the rest, or pay the consequences.Specific therapeutic measures would be a diet of foodshigh in antioxidants like cantaloupe, watermelon,kale, collards and other colorful fruits andvegetables. A good intake, but without overdoing it,of trace minerals and vitamins. E.g., Selenium200mcg/day; more will cause you problems. Vitamin Ewithout preservatives 200 u /day: more can flare yourproblems. Added vitamin C in excess of 500 mg/day cancause the production of free radicals rather than justquenching them. 200 mg/day is a nice safe zone. Youneed to get as much from an excellent diet aspossible, and then listen very carefully to your body,without preconceived ideas, so you can actuallydetermine what works the best for you. Beware of“nutritional counselors” some don’t have any realunderstanding of what they are doing. I saw oneprescribe glutamic acid to patients with MSGsensitivity and it is just the same. Of course theresults were awful, and the patient’s faith in the“doctor” really clouded the issue.Doxepin at a usual dose of 40 to 80 mg per day is thebest thing I know of to help you live with CHz. Presently I take 20 in the AM and 60HS. Some peopleuse 200mg/day or more. It won’t cure CHz, but canhelp limit symptoms and complications, so long as youdo the other things you need to do, especiallyavoidance. A pulse of dexamethasone of .5 to 1 mg,used infrequently and only as needed to suppressautoimmune flares, is the best treatment that I knowof. Some of the immunologists here in Vancouver areusing 4 mg/day of dexamethasone plus about 40 mg/dayof prednisone for 60 days to try and “cure” people oftheir CHz . I have never seen it totally work, but itdoesn’t do any permanent damage, and it establishesthat the therapeutic windows, which I suggest areperfectly safe. Some times I take 1 mg ofdexamethasone in a severe circumstance (I weigh 260#),and repeat it in a few hours if symptoms aren’tsubsiding, and then follow up with 1 mg the next AM. I have never required more than that to stop anautoimmune flare in my own body. This article will have done but little good if ithasn’t stimulated a desire to know the truth, and thedetermination to think for yourself. Become afrontiersman! I have mentioned doxepin anddexamethasone as favorable possibilities for CHzmanagement. If you try either, or an herb, etc., youneed to very critically assess whether it is reallydoing any good, and listen to your body carefully tomake sure it is doing no harm. My recommendationcannot, at that point, be of any further importance. If your body tells you otherwise listen to it, and tothose close to you! Otherwise we may have wasted ourtime here. Likewise don’t uncritically believe whatyou hear on the news. It will be used as convenientor expedient propaganda to mislead you and defraud youof your rights and everything else. If you consideryourself Jewish and you are eating the chemicallypoisoned food supply, let that be evidence enough,that whatever benefits you may receive, you are apatsy for Rummsfeld, the Bushes, the Rothschilds, andall the other Illuminati Satanists who really serveonly their master, Lucifer, as did their fraternalcousin, Adolph Hitler. If you consider yourself a loyal American, rememberthat those who have done this to you are guilty of“un-American activities” as surely as were those Nazisaboteurs brought here in WWII. These may have comewith paperclips instead of submarines, and they maysit in the presidency, and defense dept. Littlematter. They are saboteurs of the most heinousnature, and they have not the slightest intention ofletting go the reigns of power they have illegallyseized from you. The present darkness has created adearth of knowledge. “Outcome based education” is apropaganda device now deeply instilled in oureducational system to insure that our youth not becometechnically excellent, nor expert, but that theybecome avid believers, and pundits of the “propagandaline” as befits the designs of the new world order. We need a “latter rain” of wisdom and values torefresh and “water” the minds of those who will be ourfuture, so they can grow, and produce good fruit and aplenteous harvest thereof! Some of the basic biochemistry that I have shared withyou has now been deleted from the current biochemistrytexts, lest the “scientists” now in training read itand start to “think for themselves”. Or worse! Become“serious investigators of fact.” They are to sit attheir computers as the machine spews out the partyline. And they, made into pundits thereby, are tospeak to you as persons of “expertise,” to spread thepresent darkness as high priests of the new worldorder. Their paychecks depend on it, and for most:“Where the money is, there is where the heart is.” Now you understand why Christ said: “ The love ofmoney is the root of all evil.” The politics ofAspartame is a vivid example of how people can becontrolled thereby, even though Aspartame itself hasbeen a financial loser for every company who has everpandered with it. I would challenge you to become once more “realAmericans” and pray for a rebirth of brotherly love,and religious motivation to respect for the well beingof our neighbor, whoever he may be. Our forefathers“prayed but kept their powder dry.” Militancy, to letthe sick, satanically corrupted government know thatthey are, about immediately, going to lose the supportof their populace if this “chemical warfare upon us”is not suddenly, like NOW, and definitively brought toa screeching halt, is in order. The time for talkingis over, the time for remedy or relief is past. Immediate “cure” is essential. President John F.Kennedy would turn over in his grave if he knew thisheinous abortifacient had been put on the market bythe “nation of Satanists” amongst us, who would nowdeprive us of life and liberty. He asserted: “ Letevery nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill,that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet anyhardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assurethe survival and the success of liberty.”Sincerely,James D.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2002 Report Share Posted May 7, 2002 sounds like a irritated nerve - d welch Monday, May 06, 2002 8:04 PM RE: *burning* question I have, over the last month, experienced a burning sensation inside my upper arm (tricep). The muscle itself is not tender or sore to touch or in use - yet this burning sensation is temporarily relieved when using analgesic creams. The sensation feels as though the skin is scraped and slightly raw, but there is no sign of skin involvement. Does this sound like a problem with muscle or nerves? I can tell you, it is "getting on my nerves" and creating slight anxiety! Any help appreciated! Thanks, Deb James D. Bowen, MD [bowendrjim]Monday, May 06, 2002 3:43 PM Subject: Re: decongestantI am tossing my Crest toothpaste. It is now formulatedwith sodium fluoride, (Rat Poison)! When theymarketed it in 1954 it was Stannous Flouride. Crest,just as of this past month, is being pushed upon thepublic in every way possible! I started using itregularly for ONE daily brushing, and got severefluoride poisoning that is clearing, now that I amfour days off "Crest". I was experiencing granulomasaround my fingernails, unexplained and atypicalworsening of my CHz and diabetes, skin ulcersappeared, and would not heal, my gums were sick, etc. Bush, since assuming "emergency powers" has once againacted in a manner that threatens our lives bymandating a level of 4 mg/liter of fluoride indrinking water, about TEN times what can safely betolerated. It looks like we are facing "FluorideGenocide". Crest does not even state the level offluoride it contains, so we can safely assume it s farhigher the 250 ppm that some other toothpastes admitto, which is a really toxic level any way! I have started using distilled water, and haveabandoned my habitual use of tea since it is high influoride, and fluoride is a cumulative poison. It isjust remarkable that Bush has the nerve to do this,especially now that the pundits who subserved thislie, “that fluoride benefits teeth”, have now comeforward and admitted they were merely saying what theywere paid to say, and that fluoride ruins teeth, aswell as the other bones in the body, especially thehips. We need merely look at the occurrence of toothdecay, which is far lower in Vancouver, BC, whosewater totally lacks fluoride than in other Canadiancities who fluoridated their water. Moreover, thoseregions in which fluoride occurs naturally have moredental damage, growth retardation, and mentalretardation, than do regions without fluoride. Ifyou live in a town or city that “fluoridates” itswater, we'd best be distilling our water until this isresolved! Here in Walla Walla, Wash. We are nowhaving a new “epidemic” of HIP FRACTURES. This was tobe expected, of course, since weakening of the bonesESPECIALLY HIPS, was a routine and well-knownoccurrence from fluoridation. Now that Bush has used the emergency powers act inthis demented manner, we are all endangered in manyways by his irresponsible actions! Here, seniors maybe just walking down the street and their hips just“give away”. It doesn’t take a fall, or anything tofracture their hips. Little Wonder! Bush hasincreased their dose of “Bone Rot” by ten fold. Sincefluoride poisoning grossly impairs carbohydratemetabolism, it worsened my diabetes, and also causesotherwise unexplained "ketoneuria". It damages thebody’s ability to utilize oxygen to burn sugar sodiabetics are now experiencing “Hypoglycemic” episodesat normal blood sugar levels like 70-75! In otherwords fluoride is the “Carbon monoxide” of glucosemetabolism, and is synergistic with Aspartame in thispoisoning of carbohydrate metabolism. My book,"Billions of Victims" follows, attached; and is postedon www.dorway.com.Sincerely, Dr Jim BowenBillions of people are now Aspartame victims or theirfriends. Individual answers to questions are now animpossible approach. The following article is meantto fill in that gap, to meet that need. As you readit you will master the medical knowledge you need tocope in a correctly intuitive manner. You also willpainlessly gain the experience you need, vicariouslyas you follow me down the river of discovery. I amlike a beat up, exhausted old salmon with propellerslashes from the political powerboats, gnashes from predators, battered from pounding against the rockswhile jumping cataracts, and exhausted from swimmingall the way up to this spawning ground against thecurrent. So jump in your armchair. You will lunchupon the fruit of “the tree of knowledge of good andevil” (Genesis 2:17 and 3:1-22) and your eyes will beopened as we journey down stream. Hopefully this maybecome a ”river of life” for you (Revelation 22:1-2). May you find healing in the “tree of life.” (Gen 2:9and 3:1-22). If you find the following articlehelpful, please help me spread it to any you may beable.“CHz”--What you need to know about ChemicalHypersensitivity disease: (CHz = MultipleSensitivities, Poly Chemical Sensitivity, Persian GulfSyndrome, etc.)”Because of your and/or your forbearers exposure totoxics like Aspartame, a summation of immune,mitochondrial, DNA, and MtDNA (genetic) damage hasoccurred in your body that has made your body unableto deal with chemical insults so slight that theymight not even be noticed by others. With thelessening of mitochondrial competency, free radicalsare produced, and the release of damaging combustionproducts into the cell occurs, causing exaggeratedcellular reactivity and cellular damages fromconcentrations of substances that you would never evenhave noticed before. You have become “hypersensitized.” Now, even millions of times less aconcentration of the same chemical exposures thatdidn’t bother you at all before, will cause severehealth damaging reactions, and autoimmune disease. Theactivation of mast cells and basophiles, and otherpro-inflammatory immune mechanisms can really set yourhealth problems off. This phenomenon tends to spread incrementally becauseit is a vicious circle type phenomenon. The moredamage, the less the metabolic and genetic competence,as a direct result of the DNA and RNA, Mt DNA and,mitochondrial damage to the organism: The more free radical formation and inappropriaterelease of abnormal metabolites occurs within andbeyond the “mitochondria.” (The little “energyfurnaces” within the cell that carry out certainotherwise dangerously energy loaded processes safelyfor the cell). This leads to more cellularcompromise. In addition, specific features of agiven chemical may incite damage. E.g., Benzoatesdirectly stimulate the metabolism of the mast cellsand basophiles making them more likely to fire off aninflammatory autoimmune response. It only makes sensethat for a preservative to “preserve” anything it hasto rapidly kill everything that has life or metabolismin it at very low doses. Such a compound cannot bevery friendly to human tissue. In bread, forinstance: I find vinegar (acetic acid), or calciumpropionate harmless for me, but all otherpreservatives are harmful. Denatured human tissueitself causes massive immune disorientation.Consider separately now the immune system. When itencounters your protein (cells, sub cellularstructures, and substrates such as the myelin sheathor joint cartilage etc.), denatured by things like theformaldehyde, and formic acid from Aspartame, andtissue damaged/denatured by the deranged processesmentioned in the first paragraph, it is highly likelyto view it as foreign. This makes your bodies owntissues subject to immune attack. The false memoriesinduced in your immune system are life long, leadingto an accumulation of various forms of autoimmunity. Some are very destructive. E.g., Lupus, neurodegenerative diseases, inflammatory arthritis, et al,to the point that the FDA had 92 different reactionsto Aspartame categorized until they quit acknowledginganything and then stone walled the public, refusing toeven acknowledge the health problems reported to them.Since marketing, 85% of all complaints are aboutAspartame alone, of all the 100,000 licensed by FDA! Once poisoned byAspartame, it is a secure fact that the person will besomewhere well down the road of hypersensitivity, andautoimmunity with those even creating initialpresenting symptoms.Now that you know the ballpark, how do you try to winback as much of your health as possible? How toprevent, to the greatest extent possible, furtherdegradation of your body’s health, and “well being”?The mainstays that you will have to adopt are asfollows: You must now become your own doctor,listening very carefully to your body and trying tomake sense of what’s going on. Study what things workfor yourself and others, and try them out, againlistening very carefully to your body. Become thegatekeeper of your body, practicing strict avoidanceof ingested and environmental chemicals. Evencaffeine promotes free radicals. You cannot at allbelieve that governmental or corporate integrityoffers you any protection. They simply no longerexist.That means if anything comes ready prepared in a can,bottle, box, or bag’ it is unsafe for you. You needto buy organic and cook from scratch, in so far aspossible. Avoid even mixes like cocoa mix, etc. Theyhave tried to give chemicals, even the horriblydamaging diketopiperazine of Aspartame, safe soundingnames like “natural flavoring, vegetable protein,lo-cal, lo fat, lite, lo salt, robust cheese flavor,and lo fat cheese flavor”. -The list is endless-! Environmental contaminants are also a severe hazard;plastics, new plastics, plastic bottled water,building materials, industrial releases and fumes,contaminated water, “sick” houses and environments areoften very damaging to you. Even sitting in front ofa new computer, as the new plastics “off gas,” isterrible for me. Most makes of automobiles after ’83are suspect. Ford remained “clean” until ’89, whenthey added polyurethanes and thioisocyanates to theirproducts. They had five unexplained deaths, on thefloor of their River Rouge plant alone, that firstseason!Once you are hyper sensitized, noxious substances fromnature: pollens, fungal blooms dusts mites, danders,etc. now cause major flares of disease. Evenatmospheric positive ionization zones from buildingsor nature, such as the full moon or foehn, ”Santa Ana”winds, or just living in a neighbor hood or regiongiven to positive ionization will tend to flare yourautoimmunity and may cause severe physical andemotional damage! Inhaling positive ions engendersthe production of the super oxide type of freeradicals in your metabolic processes, and they mayconsume negative ions from the ambient atmosphere.Atmospheric negative ions in ambient air, on the otherhand, are essential to well being because they consumepositive ions and other pollutants that wouldotherwise generate free radicals in your metabolicprocesses, and they are synergistic and catalytic withozone as “nature’s air purifiers”. By now, you may sense that you will seem like a “nutcase,” to someone who is not so afflicted. This ismainly because the Nazi like, fascist influence, ofthe chemical companies prevents doctors from beingtrained in any knowledge of this immense discipline.This would be an essential first step in adding sanityand effectiveness to the medical profession. As aresult, because your body cannot go along with theirinsane, and inept orientation, you will appeareccentric to them. So, you must become your owndoctor, because if your doctor does become keen ontreating your real problems he will likely bedestroyed by the fascist medical-political powerstructure. Some doctors do prevail in the field ofenvironmental ecology, in spite of all, and may beable to have a positive therapeutic and workingrelation with you. But they are few and far between.The measure you will begin with is avoidance, assuggested above. Decontamination is sometimeshelpful. A negative ionization, precipitation, andozonation machine, properly installed on anintelligent and perceptive regimen is oftenlifesaving, as are good house keeping practices toeliminate dust and mold sources. A natural,restorative diet of fruits, nuts, grains andvegetables, simply and healthfully prepared withoutchemicals is essential. Our world is so contaminatedand the production of meat oft so degraded, thatFlesh foods, and seafoods are usually laden withenvironmental contaminants and other toxins andhazards engendered by the dangerous, unethicalpractices of the feedlot industry. A good intake ofminerals and vitamins is essential. Especially to benoted are trace minerals like selenium, and vitaminslike folic acid, which is essential, but is consumedby the formic acid (this essential fact is often notdetailed in currently published texts) frominadvertent methanol, formaldehyde, or carbon monoxideintake which happens to be one of the toxic axes ofthe Aspartame molecule. I prefer kelp seleniumbecause it has a whole bouquet of trace minerals fromthe sea. Sea Sel is a brand I have used. Other medical interventions will includeimmunosuppressive therapy, when warranted. Dexamethasone, (Decadron) is my favorite steroid,given in pushes/pulses, on an intermittent basis, asneeded to stop a flare of autoimmune attack. It issafe, even at the high doses such as one half to onemg, that are needed to stop an autoimmune flare in itstracks. It is non toxic, and cheaply and easily takenas one dose of a single oral tablet at home. Archaicinformation based on the medical knowledge andpractices of fifty years ago leave a large segment ofthe profession unawares of its safety andpracticability. The fact that it is extremely cheapwill ensure that the government will oppose anyimprovement in medical outlook about this molecule. The FDA has become a branch office for thepharmaceutical companies, so the worst side effectthat a drug can have is that its patent has run out,and that it truly has become multi-sourced andaffordable. NO profit in that! Prolonged or steadyuse of any steroid is hazardous and destructive, evenat low doses, and is to be avoided. One antihistaminethat is safe for continuous dosage and effective aboveall others is doxepin. It is the most powerful H1 andH2 antihistamine known to man. It is long out ofpatent, and thus out of favor with the power structurebecause it’s cheap! The other benefits for the CHzvictim, built into this one molecule, are that it’s aperipheral anti serotonin agent (not central likeAspartame which would be a detriment), a stabilizer ofthe mast cell, an anticholinergic agent, an inducer ofrestorative sleep without being sedative (after theinitial anti histamine daze wears off) and a mildanxiolytic/antidepressant.When under patent, doxepin was advertised, andindependently rated, as being as harmless as a drinkof water, a potent medicine, that when taken properly,had no risks associated with its use except, thatbecause the patient might feel so much better, thedoctor might overlook other problems. Now that it isout of patent the FDA and surgeon general want tomurder it. Dr Koop runs a special net site to scarepeople away from it. He unrealistically anduntruthfully ascribes all sorts of imaginary andirrelevant ills to it. How does the government figureit can get away with such ignorant behavior? Well thegovernment is playing “dumb like a fox”. It hasdeclared that it can “categorically” issueprecautions, and ascribe side effects and toxicitiesto a medicine. The FDA may elect to assign to anygiven medicine any of the hazards or side effects ofany other chemical merely stated to be in a similarcategory. In the case of doxepin numerous categoriescould be assumed in order to play this legal game offalse condemnation. This is foolishness: FDAprecautions merely another word game to pursue and toperpetuate political objectives. In fact, the onlypertinent information to actually ascribe to amedicine is that information which really pertains toit. This FDA fiction is real “pseudo science.” Onlythe facts matter. All else is simple capriciousness,totally lacking truth, merit, or concern for humanwelfare. Makes sense, now that I have seen what theFDA and surgeon general really are capable of. Pleasesee Dr Koop’s net site on doxepin to view andappreciate what fatuous punditry the fascistgovernment would like to unload upon you.I will, as illustration, now give my ownhypersensitivity experiences. As a review, CHz isengendered by toxics like Aspartame for the followingreasons. First: Genetic damage occurs which bothdenatures the tissue being formed in your body, andblurs the competency of the immune system to recognizeyour tissues as “self”. Second: The immunecompetency to self protect is further blurred bydenaturing the already formed tissues of the body bythe direct chemical actions of the toxics: Creates“tissue targets”. Third: mitochondrial impairmentfrom the same mechanisms impair detoxification andincrease the release of free radicals, which aredestructive and inflammatory. Fourth: Many viciouscycles arise to auto perpetuate and broaden the scopeof these problems.Here is my experience. The features especiallyrelevant to CHz are pointed out, along with enough ofthe bureaucracy and political scenario exemplified tolet you know what you are really facing, now and inthe future. As I have been writing this account, ithas been extremely painful for me to even recall manyof these memories, much less relate them to you. Someof the material I must relate will worry my friendsbecause they feel I must hide it to protect myself. You, dear reader, and the billions of human beingsaround the world who have been, or will be deformed ordamaged by the heinous chemicals unleashed upon us aremore important than myself, or my welfare. My friendswho believe me to be a brilliant and compassionatehealer feel I should alter this story to protectmyself in hopes of one day again practicing medicine.When I came to realize the horrorific nature ofAspartame and the satanic nature of its promoters, Imade the determination that I could not be bought atany price, even if that meant being completelymisunderstood. In fact, the Lord has preserved my life. Variousindividuals from the satanic organizations haveapproached me to threaten, buy, or otherwise get meoff the Nutra Sweet issue. When I respond to theirthreats with the reply, “I trust my life to the Lord.”They typically, are forced to admit; “You must beright, that the Lord is protecting you, because wehave repeatedly used the best to get rid of you. Youcan’t even be alive, and yet you are.” Does thatsound like something from “The Gladiator”?“But know this. We are never going allow you to haveanything, or be anything, or do anything, and knowthis also, we are going to keep trying, and when theLord doesn’t need you anymore we are going to killyou.” The Lord does not indeed guarantee any one ofus a single heartbeat into the future. All I couldsay in response was: “The bible says not to worryabout this life, but to trust Him for the life tocome, which Satan will defraud you of.” So they findme unanswerable, and impossible to deal with.How have I come to this point? About January of 1983I received a flyer from Searle, whom I considered anethical drug company. I was especially fond of thembecause, years before, I had a close personalrelationship with one of the Searle sisters. In spiteof this, their flyer troubled me. In essence, itstated “We are putting a marvelous new artificialsweetener on the market called -Nutra Sweet-. It isjust a couple of harmless protein fragments, Drink upand enjoy.” It gave not so much as a stick drawing ofthe chemical, nor did it even name it! “None theless.” I bit. When the Lo-cal Kool-Aid hit the marketI started using it. Within two days I went from beinga two-mile at a session, swimmer to being in such atoxic cardiomyopathy and heart failure, that Icouldn’t even climb the stairs to my apartment. Lossof balance, and hearing acuity, and energy was also animmediate effect. I abandoned the swimming pool andbecame a couch potato. My wife became frantic, andthen rejective, because of the changes in me. Atthat point, any intelligent person would have knownthat the lo-cal Kool-Aid was suspect. My personalexperience will strongly exemplify how doctors can bemade to be real dummies, in any given circumstance, bybelieving what they have been trained to believe byour fascist, and fallible government andmedical-pharmaceutical axis power structure. Lab work up revealed only a mildly increasedeosinophile count, and decreased platelet count in myblood, and low voltage on the EKG. It was all “nondiagnostic,” but only because of my lack of knowledgeabout Aspartame’s chemical formula and toxicity. HadI been allowed to know either, this story would haveended right there.So, I persisted using the lo-cal Kool-Aid. With thepassing of a few more days I developed many symptomsof methanol (methyl alcohol) /formaldehyde poisoning,and progressive classic symptoms of chemicalhypersensitivity. My skin turned red and inflamed,and was photosensitive. I was short of breath anddrained of energy. I lost my ability to withstandthermal stress and stayed inside out of the summerwarmth. I could not acclimatize. In spite of stayingin the air-conditioned environment, parts of my bodyfelt cold and others, hot. I got stinging sensationsin my skin, shooting down my extremities, and aroundmy body. My thirst markedly increased. Things beganto taste salty to me. That didn’t stop me from cravingcorn chips and other pure carbohydrates. A bowl ofcorn chips became my constant companion at home. My sense of smell became outrageously keen. Be thereeven one leaf of stale lettuce in the kitchen garbagecan, I could smell it, even though the lid was closed.This common feature of CHz (chemical hypersensitivitydisease) apparently is due the fact that the sense of smell, which is designed to alert to chemicalhazards, begins to note damage potential fromchemicals at millions of times lower concentrations;which is in keeping with the facts of the case of CHz. At the same time, my ability to taste the sensationof sweetness in foods became markedly impaired, andremains so to this day. My mild, easily controlledosteo arthritis flared into a full blown inflammatoryand destructive arthritis and my right knee becameacutely painful. It had developed a large crack clearacross the joint surface. I have since seen peoplewho had experienced well nigh total cartilaginousdestruction, throughout their bodies, from this flareof arthritic processes by Aspartame. They usuallygave the history of only about six weeks from onset,to total destruction.As I continued on Aspartame, my visual acuity lessenedand until I had a severe loss of visual acuity, mynight vision also disappeared and did not return forsix years. I thank the Lord that it suddenly returnedin 1989. I lost my sense of balance in the firstcouple of days of lo-cal Kool-Aid use. My eye-handcoordination was the next to go. My enjoyment of sexwent first. Next came impairment of sexual function,which has never resolved. Many men are ashamed totalk about this, but they should overcome that, andlet the world know what Nutra Sweet did to them. Mywife thought I had lost interest in her, and hadperhaps become enamored of someone else. In my early research, the disruption of marriages wasone of the things the government studies reported as aresult of CHz, and methanol/formaldehyde exposure. Shortly after I started writing about, and publicizingthese problems my file was robbed of all Aspartame andformaldehyde/methanol related materials and thisinformation has since become unfindable: Largelyreplaced by punditry that would make you think thereis but little hazard. Common to the literature of thetime, was that other victims, like myself found thewhole experience to be a totally perplexing,disintegrative destruction of their lives. My ability to sleep became increasingly impaired andsoon a deep depression set in. Life became one long,dark, pleasureless, sleepless night. About then Itried using the sleeper Placidyl. It works by virtueof solvency, just like ether or chloroform. I didn’tyet even know I was being felled by CHz. Solvents ofall kinds worsen CHz, especially formaldehyde relatedCHz. So, neither sleep nor anything good came ofthat, and my symptoms all worsened, especially theneurological symptoms. The small town of Ashland, KSwhere I was practicing saw this happening to me andcame to the conclusion I was an alcoholic because myimpairment and depression were apparent to all, and Ilooked hung over all the time. That was a very astutecorrelation, because the “hang over” experience iscaused by the traces of methanol in beverage alcohol. I was using no alcoholic beverages, but I was gettingmethyl alcohol from Nutra Sweet and had become amethoholic, the most vicious and destructive form ofalcoholism. By now I craved the lo-cal Kool-Aid. Iused it before I went to the clinic and as soon as Iarrived home again. I had quit hospitalizing patientsand my clinic practice was, of course dwindling due tomy impaired performance. By now I only wanted to getthrough the day. I felt, some how, that it was “all my fault.”Aspartame is a brainwashing agent. You lose yourability to think independently and effectively, or torealistically challenge any thing. I wondered how Icould get so old so fast. In fact, Aspartame aged meabout thirty years in six weeks. When your immunesystem is aging you instead of protecting you, your MtDNA is rapidly being mutated and degraded, RNAtransmission is being deranged and deleted, when freeradicals are being flooded through out your body andplasticizing agents and blister poisons are destroyingyour tissues from the inside out, that pretty welldescribes progeria. I had a full head of dark brownhair when I started drinking lo-cal Kool-Aid. Sixweeks later it looked like I had silver gray hair thatI had dyed dark brown and the gray roots were showing.My hair was grayed forever. It’s Mt DNA, whichdetermines youthfulness of hair, forever “fried” bythe Aspartame. There were no real hair dyes marketedjust for men at that time. Starting in 1984, thosebecame a brisk and expanding market served by severalnew brand names. I was now experiencing the horrors of deterioratingwith neuro degenerative dz. I can empathize withthose going through this as no one who hasn’t beenthere really can. My body and brain were nowneurologically and functionally falling apart. What ahopeless feeling! I felt that I was going crazy. There was just no known medical explanation for whatwas happening to me.I went to see Dr. Max Teare in Garden City, Kansas, apsychiatrist, who specialized in treating impairedphysicians. Max was marvelous, but had no inklingthat Aspartame was toxic. I frankly told him allabout myself, including all the meds I was using. Maxrecognized that nothing that I was sharing with himwould explain the messed up man sitting in interviewwith him. I was sobbing desperately in my pleas forhelp. I could barely get my hands to my mouth. Icould hardly swallow my own saliva. Talking ormaintaining a normal posture was nearly impossible forme. My speech was slurred. I couldn’t even holdmyself erect, and I was grossly uncoordinated. Max repeatedly pressed me to tell him about the drugsI was using, or the alcohol I was imbibing but I hadnothing further to tell him. Finally I sobbed, ”Maxall I know is that nothing you are suggesting willhelp me at all. If I don’t get some help I am goingto die! I want you to send me to the best mentalhospital that you know of.” Never did Max ask aboutNutra Sweet consumption, nor did I volunteer any suchinformation. We as MDs were simply programmed to viewit as an inert food additive. All food additivesmust, by law, be proven inert at one hundred times themaximum conceivable human dose. No wonder we weremislead by our blind faith in the FDA.Max was visibly upset by my request forhospitalization, and said, “ Man, you don’t know whatthat would do to your career.” I replied. “Max rightnow I don’t care about my career, all I know is that Iam a dying man”. So, Max reluctantly gave verythoughtful contemplation to the matter, discussingvarious options with me and asking me about them. Iassured him that I was in no condition to choose, butthat I would appreciate him choosing the one he wouldwant to go to if he were in my shoes. After a longdeliberation with himself, he said he would choosePrairie View, a Mennonite institution in Newton, Ks. Thank God for Prairie View! It’s quiet, pleasant,chemical free rural environment, and loving,supportive staff were to prove to be just what myNutra Sweet and CHz ravished body needed! Meanwhile Max had sent me home to wait while hearranged an appointment to enter Prairie View. I wasno longer practicing but only staying in myair-conditioned apartment, avoiding the ferociouslyhot Kansas summer, and desperately sliding downhillinto a Lou Gehrig’s Disease like picture. Stillslugging down the lo-cal Kool-Aid, and saying “ThankGod for Nutra Sweet in such a hot summer.” A week ortwo later Max called and said he had arranged for myadmission, but that it would be another week beforePrairie View would have room for me. Ah! Hope atlast! With this newfound hope, my ravaged mind musthave subconsciously gone into high gear. Isubconsciously, and only subconsciously came tosuspect. “Nutra Sweet.” I said to myself, for noapparent conscious reason, “No more Nutra Sweet.” Lacking Aspartame, my body and mind slowly began tomake the early phases of recovery. I presented to Prairie View in a state of withdrawal,but a very little partially recovered, and totallybroken in spirit. What were they to think! “Boy dowe have an addict coming to us in withdrawal or what!”Was their highly logical conclusion. I was palsiedwith a bulbar palsy. This was evident on exam, inaddition to being hyper reflexic and ataxic, allclassical signs of being damaged by, and in withdrawalfrom some mind destroying toxic substance. I got tomeet the very overworked Dr Peter O’Toole, the onlyfull time psychiatrist for about 300 inpatients on mysecond day. Again, he did not ask and I did notvolunteer any information about my Nutra Sweetconsumption. Why should we? It had been fed to the public alongwith the greatest media blitzkrieg of the history ofthe world. I now know that we live in a day and ageunparalleled for manipulation of the media aspropaganda. If any thing is highly promoted, you’dbest back right away from it. Right now our rightsand liberties are being destroyed and our bodies arebeing violated by the government assuming “emergencypowers” and taking other fascist measures under theguise of a “war on terrorism”. Were all facts known,the only emergencies that have occurred were fosteredby US intelligence agencies, and the only crisis weface is a media event designed to make us gullible andpliant to the notion of being defrauded of ourpersonal and civil liberties. Note how the Bushfamily is now being promoted in a media blitz, asinnocuous Americans, just as vulnerable as all otherAmericans; It would be made to seem. Better ask:“Where have my rights gone?” “And my liberties?,” “And our economy?,” And, Oh Yes!, “The socialsecurity funds.” You might consider boycotting allthe press involved in this propaganda smoke screenoperation. You see Bush et al, and Rummsfeld, almostdaily, promoted as model citizens in a way neverpreviously exhibited by our media, on behalf ofanyone. I think these fascist denizens even may cometo believe their own propaganda and enjoy falseadulation. Some dictators demand it, with stageddemonstrations, etc.The “National Enquirer” ran a prominent articledetailing a few of the ties between the Bush dynastyand Nazi Germany. April 24, 2001, was the publicationdate, as I remember. It was removed from all the KMart and Fred Meyer store chains, over night, beforethe stores were opened for the business in themorning, and for a long time, this fascist act wascovered by providing the following weeks Enquirer aweek early. It still is here in Portland. Both chainsare owned by the Kroger dynasty, who now control 52%+of the nations grocery supply. All this virtuallydefines “burn the books” fascism. I saw but little of Dr O’Toole for most of my stay atPrairie View, but a psychologist, Dr White, oversaw mycare. Upon my arrival at Prairie View, I waspleasantly surprised. It was rural and pastoral,situated on a 350-acre farm outside of town amidst therolling, rural Kansas landscape. The buildings wererustic and informal, having been built in theimmediate post WWII era, when Mennonites who hadserved as medics in the war, were inspired by theirwartime experiences to build a place where war tornpsyches could heal. The buildings were simple, andpleasant, but not air-conditioned. I was panicked. Ihad, since starting Nutra Sweet, been completelydefeated by the heat of the Kansas summer. Now I hadto live without air conditioning. A large part of thetime was spent out of doors in vigorous recreationalactivities in the heat of Kansas’ hottest month,August! What a disconcerting prospect for me. I wasutterly defeated by the heat. Nutra Sweet hadwithered my ability to withstand thermal, or any otherkind of stress. Much to my surprise, I rapidly acclimatized and wasnot even bothered by the heat any more. The healingprocess was not painless. The simple occupationaltherapies were terrifying to me because they revealedthe extreme neurological incapacities I had sustained.Other doctors who worked with me in surgery hadcomplimented me on my surgical dexterity and skills. Now those hands, once so capable, could hardly bedirected to scratch a random line on a recreationalexercise. The personnel were marvelously supportiveand shared every little victory with me as myfunctional abilities began to return. The food wassimple, cooked from scratch in the inimitable, andexcellent Mennonite cuisine, and free of chemicals.There were a few rough spots engendered by myAspartame induced picture, though. The psychologicalpersonnel were intent on finding out just what had soneurologically degenerated me. This led to a lot ofconfrontations about drug abuse, but I had nothingmore that I could tell them. I earnestly wished Icould give them anything to go on. I wanted, aboveall else, to get well. They knew of my biochemicalexpertise. In defiance of all logic, they came to themisguided conclusion that I simply had to be thecleverest addict they had ever seen, but an addict,nonetheless. Most of the personnel were of acongenial nature, but the Gestapo teams they sentaround in the middle of the night to roughly extractblood and urine samples for drug testing were anexception. I so badly wanted to get well! Isubmitted, out of blind faith, without protest for acouple of weeks, actually hoping they could findanything by this misdirected activity. When all the results were in, I again saw Dr. O’Toole. He was illogically confrontational. He said “Jimyou are just too smart for your own good. We haverepeatedly, again and again, done all sorts of drugtesting. We have even used the most refined labs inthe nation and have taken tests that would detect anyabuse drugs even in trace amounts. That should detectanything, even six weeks to three months back, and youare clean. How are you doing this?” They thought,that with my sound knowledge of applied biochemistry,I had cleverly devised a method to defeat theirtesting. How illogical! I came to them of my own volition, not having beenfound guilty of anything, nor was I referred to thembecause any agency was suspicious of drug abuse. Ilived without privacy in their Spartan quarters, andthere was no logical reason to believe that I couldhave concocted any method that could have defeated theresults of all their extensive blood and urinetesting. This has direct application forever, to thelife of any who have used Aspartame. Your doctorswill be clueless, unless they learn about Asp and CHz.Many doctors are in satanic agencies like the Masonicorders, B'nai B'rith, etc., or are afraid of politics,or afraid to disbelieve the fascist power structure,or if they disbelieve, to do anything, but keep it tothemselves, because they have, from medical school onbeen taught to never cross politics, at the cost oflosing their careers. Or, just as myself, and mytherapists were at that time, they have come to noconscious admission of the dangers of Aspartame. Nomatter how insanely illogical it is not to followtheir observations to the logical conclusion, whichyou have documented to them, that you need helpbecause of serious problems with Aspartame, or CHz,they will throw you on the medical trash heap as a“nut” or malingerer, rather than cooperate with you intreating you for the problems for which you so badlyneed to be helped. It is a sad fact, that the medical profession hasbeen, as a matter of routine in their training, beentaught to stay off the frontiers of medicine. That’sreal bad because those patients “out in the frontier”may present to them and need their help at any time. I, for one, am a “frontiersman” and will remain so duethe insights I have gained in almost twenty years ofstudying the Aspartame problem. Well, OK, I was a“frontiersman” before. If you do not “fire” anydoctor who will not relate realistically to yourproblems from Aspartame with CHz, you are doomed. Once you have been so afflicted, you must foreverdethrone your doctors as high priests. Seek your ownwelfare, because the only alternative is toxic geneticand immunologic destruction. By reading this articleyou have become a frontiersman, having gone way beyondthe frontier of mass mind control that your governmentwould keep you, and your doctor confined to.Happily, with the good environment at Prairie View, Iwas steadily improving. Little credit can be given tomy therapists, who were in a hapless position, becauseat that time they had no access to any knowledge ofthe hazards of Aspartame. That is no longer true. Anydoctor or therapist who does not, or will not explorethe vast amount of information available is simply aninadequate personality, and a shame and disgrace tohis profession. You should, though, give them achance by pointing out the excellent net sites like“dorway” and “holisticmed” to them. Thebibliographies therein are extensive. A compilationfrom “holisticmed,” called “the bitter truth aboutartificial sweeteners” has 1100 pages of crystal clearmaterial with rock hard documentation from 70 pages ofbibliography. There is just no longer any excuse fora doctor to sell himself to the power structure andignore the facts of the horrible Aspartame problem! Dr Hyman Roberts has published a comprehensive medicaltextbook, and even when I was a doctor/patient, thereexisted all sorts of information that would havealerted us all to the deadly hazard called Aspartame,had we been allowed to know of it. NO thanks to mediawho covered for it! Dr Adrian gross, the head toxicologist at the EPA, hadalready, for over ten years been condemning Aspartamewith the full weight of his agency. Donald Rummsfeld,et al, had faced felony charges pressed by the UScongress. All of which should have hit the media likea meteor strike. The major media was and remains swornto silence on the Aspartame and CHz issue, which isfar more of interest to the populace, and millions oftimes more essential to our welfare and politicaldemocracy than say “Watergate,” in which the mediadoused the public for months, to defrock a presidentguilty of nothing approaching the heinous Aspartameatrocity. Yes, “Monica” isn’t even noteworthy, but shewas made a porn queen to pander to the public’sprurient interests and, for a year or so, used todivert the public attention from real issues. Ipersonally wasn’t interested. It came to the pointwhere I refused to even pick up a periodical that waspandering with her. Back to Prairie View, August 1983. My stay was markedby much of the pathos that you might expect in amental hospital. Highly depressed, I was but littlehelp to the outlook of my extremely depressedroommate.. He hung himself after I had been thereabout a week. When my depression began to lift, andmy neurological function began to heal, it wasambivalent from the standpoint of “Out there, in thereal world, I was a total mess, here in a shelteredenvironment, I’m getting better. Hmmm, does that meanthat I am so defective I can’t function in society? So inadequate I can’t take the stress?” This wasbeginning to become a real problem with my “selfimage.” Shirley, my RN wife saw this and began tourge me: “Come on Jim. Get out of here. They’re makinga patient out of you! You are starting to like this.” Broken in spirit, all I could reply was: “I am notwell yet, and they have found no answers for me.” About three weeks after I got off of Nutra Sweet, Ihad progressed from hardly being able to get my handsabove my shoulders, to being able to clumsily hit avolleyball. That was some real improvement. Theattempts of the psychotherapy staff had convinced methat there was definitely some chemical substanceinvolved, because that was what they kept pressing mefor. “But what could it be?” I really wanted to know!My first answer came incidentally. I customarily usePalmolive liquid dish soap to wash and bathe withbecause it is extremely friendly to my body. I askedmy wife to bring in a bottle of Prell shampoo for meto use in the dormitory. She had asked me if I wouldlike anything special after I got over my acutetoxicity enough to care. The very first time I usedPrell, one evening just before bedtime, I was in for arude awakening! Shortly after I fell asleep, I awoke,itching all over, my body covered with intenselypruritic red hives. I went to the shower and began tosoak the chemical, whatever it was, out of my skin.That led to a pretty stiff confrontation with thestaff, which ran into the shower, screaming “You can’tbe in here now it is almost midnight.” When I toldthem I had no intention of leaving until I got better,and explained what had happened they were incredulous,but reluctantly relented. When my skin got comfortableagain, I went back to bed. That episode caused me to ask myself, “What is inPrell that is not in Palmolive or the soap I have usedhere?” The answer came to me. “Formaldehyde is addedto Prell as a polymerizing agent to make the hairtougher, and willing to take a set as you comb it outafter shampooing.” So, now I had it! Whatever haddone this to me had caused formaldehyde poisoning inmy body, and had left me formaldehyde sensitized. This is, in fact, one of the Nutra Sweet “cogeners”,one of the multitudinous bad reactions it engenders inhuman beings from the time of manufacture and onwardsad infinitum. Formaldehyde, which is the strongestorganic base, and a polymerizing agent cross binds,and plasticizes your own tissues, DNA, and RNA”denaturing” them. Your immune system then fails torecognize, as “self“, your own tissues, which havebeen ”denatured”, made foreign to it by formaldehydepolymerization. It sees them as “foreign” andtherefore needing to be destroyed by immune attack. So your immune system targets attacks your owntissues, or the fetus if you are carrying a baby. As I contemplated this I could not, in any way, cometo suspect our government, but rather felt that ourdemocracy could be threatened by exposing our leadersto it, and then deranging them at will by exposingthem to minute amounts of formaldehyde vapors. In avery close sense, I was right. Nancy had beenregularly pushing Aspartame on Ronny. She had givenhim a cute little silver tube to carry it around in,and this man, always a follower and actor rather thana leader, was all the more under her control, and thusof her handlers. He was to become so neurologicallydegenerated by Aspartame, that by the time he made runfor his second term of Presidency, you may rememberthat he had to visibly struggle, openly before thecameras, to even poorly read his lines. At that pointhe was no longer even a competent actor. Just thekind of man his keepers wanted in the oval office.Reagan went on to full blown Alzheimer’s dz, one ofthe over ninety known problems from Aspartame. Havingnot the slightest inkling of anything wrong with theFDA, I remained convinced of only one thing. Whateverchemical had done this to me was a formaldehydecompound, and had left me formaldehyde sensitized. I could never have dreamed that my own governmentwould have exposed me to a concoction of methylalcohol, wood alcohol, or methanol. Methanol has beenwell known, for over a hundred years, to cause themost vicious form of alcoholism, “metholism.” It isnoted for extreme depression and degeneration of aboutevery system in the body as well as immunologicdisorders and death, in even minute amounts. Aprominent “skull and cross bones” and “poison” labelare required on everything containing methanol alongwith the words, “Warning, poisonous, contains methanoldo not breath fumes or ingest.” Obviously Nutra Sweetcould not be anything like that. It certainly did nothave any warning like that on the label. Methanolcauses a form of formaldehyde poisoning about fiftytimes as deadly as straight formaldehyde, and whenestherized into a larger molecule like Aspartame,becomes far more toxic and sensitizing. I had beeningesting an alcohol/formaldehyde poison about twentythousand times as toxic as regular old “sippingalcohol”, ethanol or grain alcohol, (on mg per mgbasis). I was clueless, only because uninformed. Mostingested Aspartame is broken down into about ten otherpoisons in the digestive tract. The small amount,like a mg or so, that is absorbed “buccally”, directlythrough the mouth, is enough to be, an extremepoisoning because of the extreme potency of the intactmolecule.So I sat around the hospital feeling more and more alost, inadequate soul because I had no idea what myproblem had been out in the world and I didn’t want togo out there and get slapped down by it again.Whatever it was! One evening I paused for just a fewminutes to watch the news. I was given my answer. The female TV newsperson gave about a five secondwarning at the end of her newscast: “The FDA hasissued warnings on Nutra Sweet. It can cause chemicalimbalances in the brain”. The FDA had not. Dr DickWurtman, the head of neuro endocrinology at MIT hadgotten her to say it. This was his area of specialexpertise, and special concern with Aspartame. Wow!Some authority figure had given me permission tothink! It became so obvious. I had started Nutra Sweet. Igot sick and fell apart. I stopped it. I got well, orat least better, except for formaldehyde sensitivity. The next morning I jubilantly went to Dr O’Toole, andtold him what I had discovered. His only response wasto become desperately upset, and speechless. Then hislack of any rational knowledge of Aspartame toxicityonce again predominated and clouded the issue. He wasgoing to prove that Aspartame was not the culprit! Heagain reordered all the testing I had already gonethrough: In some instances, several times already. Isaid “Dr O’Toole, you have even reordered a cat scanof the brain, for which you have a negative reportfrom just three weeks ago!” He seemed to melt into atotal collapse of hopelessness right on the spot, andhad nothing more to offer. Such is the immenseconundrum that the government has created for doctorsby putting this horrendous poison on the market, alongwith others, and mandating of medical doctors thatthey dare not find it so. Dr Hyman Roberts has welldocumented it, that up to $60,000 or more, per patientin unnecessary workups are occurring because of lackof medical knowledge of Aspartame. I gave my three days of notice to Prairie View that Iwas leaving. My wife was jubilant. She had herhusband back, unafraid to face the world. Well Ishould have been though, Had I but had any inkling ofwhat was going to happen to me when I started talkingabout the biochemistry of Aspartame. (There will beroom in this article for but a very small part of whatI have been put through.) Of course I wanted to knowmore. So I sent Shirley down to the drugstore to askthe pharmacist what he might know about Aspartame. Heknew nothing. A PhD pharmacologist, a pharmaceuticalsalesman from Salina Kansas who was passing through,happened upon the conversation and said; “Well Ireally wondered about that. I have held a lot ofSearle stock, and they told us in their stock reportsten years ago that Aspartame was far too toxic to evereven consider for human consumption, and now I see iton the market!” In the meanwhile, I called the FDAand got Tony Burnetti, who maintained the Nutra Sweetfile. Tony said “ Why no, there is nothing at all wrong withNutra Sweet. If there were anything wrong with NutraSweet we would pull it right off the market.” Tony’svoice was so full of false bravado that he soundedjust like a man who was being forced to say somethinghe didn’t believe. I was right. He shortly laterbecame a very valuable mole and let us get some of themost damning toxicity studies you could conceive of,directly from his files at the FDA. Such as: Innormal doses Aspartame is the number one brain tumorcarcinogen known to man. In the same low dose,equivalent to 3 cans of pop/ day, it within 60 days,it caused a 250% increase in visible human illness,and was demonstrated to be extremely carcinogenic inthe human study group. It was also demonstrated to bean extreme epileptogenic agent. At the moment though, he was standing pat on the“party line.” So I asked. “Tony, I am an MD andbiochemist and I have a pretty good understanding ofapplied biochemistry. Maybe, if you just told me thechemical formula of Nutra Sweet, I could figure outwhat’s happened to me here, because the stuff almostkilled me.” Tony’s reply: “I can’t give you theformula.” I protested: “Back up here now Tony. Thisstuff has been released for general consumption. Theformula should be public knowledge, and now you aretelling me you can’t even give me the formula? Thatyou can’t even give the formula to a concernedphysician!” Tony’s reply: “Well, it’s a controversialissue, and we never release the formula oncontroversial issues.” A moment ago it was perfectlysafe, and now it was so “controversial” that even amedical doctor was not to be allowed to know what itwas! You didn’t have to tell me any more than that tolet me know I had just stumbled on something big andbloody. All on our first day of looking! I went to the “freedom of information” act andrequested access to the Nutra Sweet formula, and file.A little later, I got a letter acknowledging myrequest and assuring me I would get the information indue time. It has been 19 years, and nothing has beenforth coming! I didn’t wait for FIA, but went to thesugar industry trade journals, where I found thechemical formula of Aspartame, and thus made it knownto the public. After contemplating the formulacarefully, for quite a while, and thinking about theknown properties intrinsic in its chemicalconstitution, I quite correctly came to the conclusionthis was not anything that any conscientious scientistwould ever allow in the human body. This was the kindof perverted, sick science they had been doing in NaziGermany. I have since discovered that horridpossibility to be just the fact. “Operation paperclip” was so named when the satanicking makers and power brokers who presently run ourworld, and are destroying it, brought Nazi warcriminals to the US at the end of WWII, to continuetheir “scientific” projects here. They placedpaperclips on the files, so their clerks could typeclean dossiers for President Truman’s review. Fromtheir work came the HIV virus, Aspartame, and the“Schools of the Americas”, etc. If you look at theseven last plagues of Revelation (Ch 16), you willread of the culmination of the satanic degradationthat the US, which will remain the most powerful (Rev13:11-17), and thus the most responsible, leader ofthe nations until the end of time (Rev17: 7-11), andwill bring destruction upon the world. This satanicdegradation of society and the world will bring the USto its knees in the dust of the world it hasdestroyed. (Rev 6:13-17), and (Rev 19:17-21). Toforce the public to support such heinous programs, theleaders need fascist powers, just like Rome and NaziGermany exercised. Aspartame is a heinous chemicalagent designed to help bring this about. Welcome tothe new world order! (Rev 16:13-16) Aspartame isSatan, its leader’s chemical agent of first choice forpopulation control, and mass mind control.Upon arriving back in Ashland Kansas, I found that thesmall town power structure viewed me as an unrepentantalcoholic. It was no longer possible for me tosucceed there. So I began to look for alternatives. My wife and myself soon discovered that things hadmysteriously changed with our health. It is to myshame that Shirley, almost as soon as I starteddrinking the lo-cal Kool-Aid, spotted the fact thatNutra Sweet was what was breaking my health. Shewould plead with me “Jim get off the Nutra Sweet. Itis killing you.” I would respond. “No. It is a safe,FDA approved product. It couldn’t be doing this tome.” So she, out of respect to my incorrect opinion,and her faith in the FDA as an RN nurse, began to usethe lo-cal Kool-Aid along with me. She was about tenweeks pregnant at the time, and shortly after shebecame symptomatic with the Aspartame poisoning, shelost the baby. I found Aspartame to be a commonfertility problem, and not surprisingly, many whocarry to delivery while consuming, deliver seriouslydamaged or deformed babies, or the more subtle“pervasive developmental disorders” occur. All inkeeping with the known toxicity and biochemistry ofthe Aspartame molecule. My wife used far lessAspartame than I did. She had much milder primarysymptoms. We didn’t understand at all, in spite ofher initial recognition of Aspartame’s horribleeffects on me. So exemplary of the brain washingeffects of Asp, once you come under its influence. From that six-week period of ingestion, we had bothcontracted CHz. Our first inkling that anything was wrong was that,while we both loved to eat at salad bars, they nowmade us sick. Weird health phenomena that we couldn’tunderstand began to occur. It became obvious that thesexual dynamo that I had been just before I startedlo-cal Kool-Aid was never to be again. My hair hadgone gray, and was rapidly thinning. It now tookregular, careful combing to make it appear to coverthe top, and careful photography to avoid theappearance of balding. When I first enrolled inPrairie View, my hair hadn’t shed yet, and the grayshining through, in streaks, looked rather attractive,I thought. A month later, the shedding had occurred. I now had a whole new set of problems with it. I hadnever before known.We selected the town of Ridgefield, Washington as ournext practice location. We started across country witha U Haul and a car. We arrived at Sinclair, Wyoming,an oil refinery town with noticeable air pollution ofa sulfurous nature. This pollution flared oursensitivities. We however, didn’t have an inkling ofthe existence of CHz, or that Aspartame had anythingto do with our newfound CHz health problems. Many ofour mutual experiences therefore, provide an eleganthealth study of CHz, with two cohorts well trained toobserve medical phenomena, and blinded as to what wewere going through, and as to CHz, or Asp as thecause. We thought the Nutra Sweet episode was behindus and we were in state of hopeful denial. We believedwe could go back to the world that existed for usbefore we encountered Asp. That was never to be! Fora treat, we went to the finest restaurant in Sinclairfor some good, home style cooking. Even that was notto be! When the waitress brought us the soup, I foundit to be way too salty, but thought it to be “justme.” I tried to choke it down but just couldn’t. Ilooked at Shirley, who was going through just theexact same experience. Our eyes met, and with a smileof shared experience, we said simultaneously, “ thissoup is just too salty.” we smiled and decided to setthe soup aside and go on with the meal, withoutcomplaint. When the waitress brought the excellent main course wehad the same experience. The food was just way toosalty to eat! The waitress was cool. She said: ”Thecook probably over salted the food.” and brought ussome chicken nuggets from outside sources. While shewas gone we noted that Shirley’s daughter, Sherry, andall the other customers were eating the food, andenjoying it just fine. When the chicken nuggetsarrived, they also tasted way too salty to eat. Talkabout a couple of perplexed people! Shirley and Ididn’t have a clue what was going on. In fact: OurCHz was flared into full reactivity by the sulfurouspetrochemicals in the air from the refinery, and as istypically often the case, our sense of thirst andperception of salty taste were grossly exaggerated. Shirley asked the waitress for a doggy bag. Iremonstrated with her. ”Woman what do you want tobring those chicken nuggets along for, they are waytoo salty to eat!” Shirley was cool and didn’tanswer, but brought the nuggets along. After severalhours in the pure air of rural Wyoming, we laterarrived in Rock Springs. Shirley got out the chickennuggets to try them. I asked, “Why are you messingwith those? You know they are way too salty.” Shirley tasted some and said “these are delicious,here try some.” I did and they were! We looked ateach other, puzzled? Clueless we were.Ridgefield, Washington was one of the worst placesthat a Dr afflicted with CHz could have chosen topractice. The greater Portland area is horriblypolluted due to polluted politics. Pulp mills linedthe Columbia all the way in from the coast, and theWillamette all the way south to Albany. The Columbiathen turns eastward. It, and the Snake host more hugepulp industries all the way from Camas, WA toLewiston, Idaho. Not to mention the ones insidePortland and Vancouver. Just north of Ridgefield,Kalama, WA hosts a large concentration of chemicalmanufacturing in its port. 98% of the Nation’sbenzoates and numerous other chemicals aremanufactured there. The emissions are just notcontrolled. Benzoates are “death” to most CHz victims.In the whole greater Portland Metroplex, to ask anyof the enforcement agencies to stop major polluters isto merely submit yourself to scrutiny and abuse. TheWillamette River at Portland now contains 1000 timesthe max permissible levels of dioxin and PCBs. Thefish have deformed spines and skulls. Happily? Atleast there are signs along the river warning you thatthe fish are inedible. They long fooled the public,but couldn’t “fool” the fish that have to swim up theriver. The last salmon arrived at Willamette Falls inOregon City years ago.Ridgefield was the “company town” of PWT, Pacific WoodTreatment’s plant. They putrified the environmentthere with pentachlorophenol and other toxic wastes,emitting them into the air and water, even buryingthem in shallow graves. The excellent Redmond aquiferblesses the whole of Clark County with abundant highquality water. Other industries have also damaged itpermanently by dumping poisons in it that will bethere forever, some even pumping pollutants down intoit! The world’s largest pulp mill is just across theColumbia from Ridgefield, at Saint Helens, OR. Thepulp pollutants would often billow out of its stacksin a huge plume and arc across the river, settlingdown and mixing with the PWT emissions in air alreadychemically fouled by Kalama, just up the beach. Thisenveloped Ridgefield in a toxic cloud of multi sourcedpollutants. Many of the townspeople suffered theresultant diseases. My real education in CHz was just about to begin! What a nightmare! My problems with Aspartame, which Ihad hoped to leave far, and forever behind me began torecur in many destructively intrusive ways. The“bonfire” effect set in because my CHz was kept“flared up” to an extremely high level ofdestructiveness. Where shall I start with all thesymptoms? Alzheimer like loss of short-term memory? I would leave town to drive into downtown Vancouverjust a few exits down I-5, and drive right on past theFourth Plain exit and be forced to go on across theColumbia River Bridge into Portland, circle back northacross the bridge and forget to exit the down town,Mill Plain and Fourth plain exits, circle back southagain and once more miss the Fourth Plain exit southbound and once again be forced go across to Portland,completely failing to get to Vancouver. My Lou Gehrig’s like neurological symptoms with throatparalysis would recur when the pollution built up,especially when I went home and lay down in bed. Mylatex mattress, which I had owned for 18 years, hadnever bothered me until then. It now causedparalysis. When I replaced it with a cotton mattress,the foam pillows then sickened me. When I replacedthem with feather pillows, I had then to learn thatfeathers for pillows are regularly sterilized andtoughened to give them body with formaldehyde. I oftenappeared drunk to my patients and talked to them muchas a drunk would. Shirley was made so ill that shecould not remain downtown, where the pollution was theworst, and my office was located, long enough to helpme in the office. My office apparently had polyurethane insulationbecause it smelled strongly of formaldehyde and ureato me, and worsened my condition. In an attempt tolive with my “formaldehyde sensitivity” I would keepits door opened which caused my receptionist to resigneven though I provided her with a personal heater tokeep warm with. She thought that my problems with theoffice “were just a bunch of nonsense.” After all itdidn’t bother her. My arthritis, usually wellcontrolled with Feldene (piroxicam), flared into highgear. I developed chronic fatigue/polymyalgiasymptoms. I had started writing for newspapers aboutthe problems that Aspartame had caused me, and wascausing my patients, while still in Kansas. A startlingly explicit illustration of how quicklyAspartame can alter the genetic and immune status of apopulation occurred late that fall in Ridgefield, andthe whole lower Columbia/Willamette river basin. About once a year a massive, extensive inversion formsover Portland, usually extending from Longview to thenorth, to Salem or Albany to the south. It startswith the usual nightly inversion when thepollutant-laden upper atmosphere is cooled from thelack of sun and further loses warmth, radiating itinto the night sky, and then tumbles down unto thepopulace, while the air that remained warmed bycontact with the ground runs up the mountain valleysand gets on top. This is then joined by a gentlysloping warm front coming in from off the Pacific,which then becomes stationary and layered above. Thepollutants can be trapped for days, and the populacehas to breathe them. The only thing that made the fewinverted days starting December 17, 1983 differentfrom other years was that the population had just beenintroduced to Aspartame in a media blitz, starting inJuly of that year. The companies had ruthlessly evenleft off even the FDA mandated warning for PKU. “Sowhat if PKU infants were severely brain damaged.” Aspartame must be consumed. No matter what!Nothing was to alert the public to any possibleproblem from Aspartame! The inversion hit as usual. Overhead the moon was building for a December 20thfull date. The negatively charged moon, which orbitsin close to the earth’s surface, as it shows full, waspushing the ionosphere down towards the earth by samecharge repellency, because the ionosphere isnegatively charged on top. The positively chargedbottom of the ionosphere was generating toxic positiveions in the stable, inverted chemical mess envelopingthe Portland/Vancouver area. I was there to observethe effect on the now sensitized population ofRidgefield, which was the epicenter. Shirley and Iwere ill, and we knew why. Others in town were illbut hapless. Our good friends and neighbors who ran alarge silkscreen factory across the street from theclinic put a huge banner across the whole front oftheir business stating “someone is trying to run usout of town”. They locked up their business and tookoff! A few days later when the inversion lifted, theyquietly came back and resumed business without furthercomment. The Oregonian reported more than triple thearrests for prostitution that Portland usually had.And! These were not professional tarts they wereordinary housewives with no prior criminal record. The paper could offer no explanation. I went to visit Mayor Bill, a capable, stable, broadbased man. He sat at his desk sobbing. When I askedhim the problem, he could merely state that he “justcouldn’t do anything right the last day or two.” Iassured him it was the inverted pollutants stacked ontop of Nutra Sweet toxicity, and the CHz there from. The city clerk, a very chaste married woman, hadbecome totally disinhibited. Shirley and I went up tothe Oak Tree, about twenty miles away in Woodland, forsupper in hopes of escaping from the pollution. Thewaitresses there were totally disinhibited. It mighthave been “Bachelors Paradise” that night. We droveeast up along the Lewis River after supper to try andescape the chemically fouled air and couldn’t get outof it until we passed Merwin Dam about twenty miles upinto the mountains. Oh! It felt so good to be able tobreath pure air again! But having no place to sleep,after a brief respite, we had to submit to the miseryof returning to the fouled air. When the inversioncleared in a few days, life returned to its usualroutines. My premonitions of what could become of apopulation sensitized by Aspartame and then exposed toformaldehyde, or the likes, had proved to be all tocorrect. From Reagan at the top, down to a few poorhousewives wanting to get a little cash for Christmas,our society had already been demonstrably turnedtopsy-turvy by it.I now resumed writing for the local newspapers, andwent on Cox Cable TV, discussing the hazards ofAspartame and how it had changed my life. My firstAspartame poisoned patient back in Kansas had, soonafter starting on the Diet Pepsi, became depressed,and broke down crying, whilst previously she had beena happy person. She had withdrawal symptoms withshakiness and tremors in the evenings, when she didn’tdrink it. She also developed a skin reddening, sunsensitivity, and heat intolerance. Her arthritisflared. All of which cleared, upon discontinuing theDiet Pepsi. She also underwent similar withdrawals,and convulsed upon stopping the Diet Pepsi. When shelater took a flu shot, which had never bothered herbefore Nutra Sweet, she came to my office with a rash,which consisted of scattered red itchy blotches(“giant urticariae” in medical terms), and a shakytremor, and arthralgias, much like she had experiencedon Nutra Sweet. I assured her that Nutra Sweet hadleft her formaldehyde sensitized, like it had me. Herrash responded to antihistamine and corticosteroidtreatment. I did not know to give her dexamethasone, which wouldhave been both cheaper and safer for her, (A singleone mg tablet would have been completely safe andeffective for her, and would have, because of itsabout 8-12 hour half life, tapered itself out of herbody in a very clinically efficacious manner.) I hadbeen imbued in medical school, and afterwards to usethe far more dangerous prednisone, which hassignificant side effects of causing insomnia, andemotional and mental changes such as depression andpsychosis, usually more pronounced in men. It iscatabolic, breaking down tissues such as muscle, boneand skin, and it must be given in multiple doses andtapered off to get an equivalent effect that you getfrom a single, one tablet, large pulsed dose ofDexamethasone. Dexamethasone on the other hand is, ina short pulse, mildly anabolic and does not causemental depression or insomnia. If patented today, itwould be hailed as a “wonder drug” and sold for $30 to$50 per pill. Doxepin likewise!Prednisone given as a single shot of methylprednisolone is, of course, more expensive and risky,and has as its most important disadvantage, the factthat the CHz patient cannot simply take a single,usually curative dose at home, as the need arises, butmust seek out medical care which is expensive,unpleasant, and untimely, at best, and unavailing andineffective at worst. In my few days of practicebefore leaving Kansas, I saw a second Aspartame victimpatient, who likewise suffered with mental depressionand formaldehyde sensitivity, and who convulsed onlywhen using Aspartame. It became known that I was a Nutra Sweet victim, andknew something of the poisoning. Quite a few Aspvictims began to come to my practice. They wererelieved to find a doctor who would believe thestriking problems they had to deal with fromAspartame. To solve my own problems, as well astheirs, I turned to the then current medicalliterature to look for helpful information. Thatavailed me nothing. It was totally unresponsive to ourneeds. To read the medical literature of ’82-83 youwould almost be made to think that formaldehyde wasgood for you. At that point I was forced to exercisewhat is oft called “scientific methodology.” I wouldhave to search for valid information wherever I couldfind it, and from that draw a coherent and workablepicture. I went to the legal profession who arehighly trained in analytical reasoning, and who weresuccessfully suing polyurethane/formaldehydepoisoning/hypersensitivity cases, to get theinformation they were working with. They told me thelack of medical knowledge in the area was hamperingbecause they needed the knowledge. Expert medicaltestimony was weak, and difficult to come by. Thatis, of course, how the fascist power structure wantsit. They want to dump their cheap, toxic, andhopefully profitable chemicals on you and, if theyhurt you, to just dump you on the trash heap. Ididn’t know that then, but did know that I, and manyothers, desperately needed real answers or we weregoing to perish.I tabulated a chart on the formaldehyde related issuesdocumented in the legally resourced, scientificliterature that had arisen from studies of the effectsof methanol, methyl esther, and formaldehydeexposures, and correlated it with the effects ofAspartame exposure and CHz, as evidenced in mypatients and myself. With this, I was drawing a veryreal, and well correlated perspective; but not manygood answers, as to what the therapeutic approachesmight be. I needed good answers! I had learned fromthe attorneys that Dr Gordon Baker, a board certifiedallergist/immunologist in Burien, a suburb of Seattlewas the Northwest’s expert on formaldehyde poisoningand hypersensitivity. Gordon very courteouslywelcomed me to come and observe and consult with himfor a couple of days. Shirley and I spent well, thetime with Gordon and his lovely wife. I almost sawthe hair on Gordon’s head stand up as he scrutinizedmy chart. It certainly didn’t tell him anything hedidn’t already know. What fascinated him was thatanother well-trained physician from a differentspecialty, and totally devoid of any contacts, hadsearched diligently and found the same information andsame conclusions that he had. Gordon was way out inthe frontier, beyond where the power structure hasdrawn the borders, and he had just met another“frontiersman”. Now my efforts were to pay off. I had a lot ofpainful learning experiences, and had put in a lot ofeffort to find and digest information, but as of yet,I had met no one who could help me crystallize thisinto a valid therapeutic discipline. Gordon was thecatalyst that accomplished that. He educated me tothe fact my patients, and myself, were not justformaldehyde sensitized, but that we now had CHz, andthat it would cause all sorts of severe autoimmunedamage in response to all sorts of possible chemicalexposures. The therapeutic responses to theseproblems and crises should logically be similar totreating allergies, and immune crises in general. There could be a growing therapeutic armamentarium ofspecific techniques as we accumulated experience. Hetold me the most therapeutic agent for dailymaintenance, that he knew of, was the trace mineralselenium, at doses of about 200 mcg/day, and that hewas having superior results with Sea Sel, kelpselenium. Strict avoidance was the main issue. Antihistamines were somewhat helpful, but he knew weneeded something better, more wide spectrum, and morepowerful. He also said we needed to find or developbetter therapeutic regimens, and that I shouldprobably be able to find help in that direction, inthe newly developing community of environmentalecologists. He gave me the names and telephone #s ofthe ones he had found to be leaders around the nation,and the #s of some of the best materials and chemicalsengineers that had insights into the field. The other reason the hair stood up on the back ofGordon’s neck when he read my chart, was that NutraSweet had been poisoning him! He was havingheadaches, depression, and his hair was falling outfrom it, etc. He was so brainwashed by the medicalestablishment, and the potent brainwashing effect ofAsp that he, the Northwest’s expert on formaldehydepoisoning, was suffering grievously from formaldehydepoisoning from Aspartame, and couldn’t grasp what thesource of his distress was. Gordon improveddramatically and rapidly, off of the Diet Pepsi. Inthe ensuing year he found, in his busy practice, morepeople formaldehyde poisoned by Aspartame than allother sources combined. You can, by now, surely graspwhy I have set myself to fight this battle, whereverthat might lead. If a man blessed with Gordon’swealth of knowledge, needed to be told, in order toknow? How worse do those not so blessed need ourhelp? How defenseless are infants in their mother’swomb who are being aborted, or worse, by it? Gordon then gave me serious counsel that I must keepquiet about this, and only quietly treat my ownpatients or, “They would utterly destroy me.” That isjust not my style. The bible endows us with the dutyto help keep others from perishing and benights themaccording to their need of our protection. I wentforth from Gordon’s collegiate embrace to “save theworld” on this issue. I rapidly set about building myexpertise, now that I could really “get my teeth intoit.” Unbeknown to me, the opposition was already seton gnashing their teeth into me. I rapidly accumulated a file comprised of thirty-fivepatients poisoned by Aspartame, to report to the FDA. These were people who were incensed by what Asp haddone to them and wanted to see something done aboutit. They were eager to cooperate with the FDA, in anyway possible, to set the record straight, and seeAspartame off the market. If anything brainwashes usworse than Aspartame it must be the drivel they teachus as adolescents in “civics” classes. I had seen andlearned more than enough by now to know that ourgovernment was corrupted beyond reprieve. But justlike Gordon, I couldn’t see what was right in front ofall our eyes. I contacted the FDA to discuss thecases I had collected with them, confident we were onthe logical route via a scientifically logical agencythat had somehow been mislead, to set matters aright. Shortly, a lady with FDA credentials appeared at mydoor, a Mrs. Herschberger, as I remember. She saidshe was there to take the case histories from me. Iwelcomed her warmly and made her comfortable in myprivate office only to receive the surprise of mylife! As soon as the door was closed and we werealone, her face turned as hostile as the countenanceof the devil himself. She glared and said, “Doctor Bowen we don’t like whatyou are doing, and we are ordering you to stop.” Well she had just met her match! I answered. “Youcame here for the stated purpose of discussing thecases of Asp poisoning that I have collected with me,and carrying those reports back to the FDA. ARE yougoing to do that or not! She merely glared and Iglared back. I said “ I don’t see your pen out takingnotes” either get your pen out or leave.” Sheproduced a pen and then slammed it down on the deskbetween us and glared. I produced the first recordand started going through it with her. Sheinterrupted frequently to shout, “We don’t want to dothis”. The whole thirty-five cases went that way. Ididn’t know it then, but she was probably the firstone, of many demonically possessed people I have hadto work with who were opposing truth on the Asp andCHz issue. Not that when I sent her away, packing thethirty five cases, along with her notes on each, didit accomplish any thing to clean up our government.I was starting to learn about the politics of Asp. Imeanwhile called an RN friend who did private dutynursing in the wealthy neighborhoods of Chicago, toshare with him what I had found. He had been workingfor Donald Rummsfeld’s next door neighbor and knewmore about Rummsfeld than one person in a millionwould ever know, because the household help comparednotes with each other about the goings on in therespective homes that they worked in. That makes itabout a one in a trillion chance that I should get adirect channel of information, at point blank range,about Rummsfeld. If the lord didn’t want me to learnthis I wouldn’t have, and if he didn’t want you tohear it from me I wouldn’t be alive to tell you. Notthat they haven’t tried. The attempts on my lifesince that time have been persistent, well worked out,and oft pursued by those skilled in such endeavors. The Lord has spared my life in the face of impossibleodds. My friend heard what I had to say, andresponded “Jim, you have to get off of this right now!Rummsfeld is the most powerful Godfather in USorganized crime. He runs “Murder Incorporated.” Youare a dead man. Even his neighbors are terrified ofhim.”That was not what I wanted to hear, but it was noteven a surprise, because I had already heard such fromthe well-placed scientists, that I was by now, rubbingshoulders with. The use of selenium indeed helped my CHz, but couldnot by any means replace what was really needed, whichwas avoiding the pollution in the Ridgefield area. The Mayor saw this. One day Mayor Bill came to see meand said. “Jim we love having you here as a doctor,but you are way too hypersensitive to this pollutionproblem here in town. Why don’t you move up by thejunction, (about two miles away) and get out of theworst of this.” It was interesting that the Mayor wassecure in his diagnosis, and was way ahead of most ofthe doctors in our country. On the political front, things were moving along at adizzying pace. The CBS evening news called and said“We would like to put you on TV”. “Great! I reallywant to get something done about this.” From thatpoint on they seemed to be vaguely hostile, eventhreatening. I’m not one to allow games to go beyonda certain point. So I asked. ”You know. I reallydon’t hear you setting any dates to go on TV. Did youcall me to threaten me, or are you really going to putme on TV?” They were taken aback and blurted out. “Well! You call Dr Monte at Arizona State in Tempe,and if after you have talked to him, you still want togo on TV, call us back.” I called Woody Monte the next day. He was a PhDbiochemist and nutritionist, the head of the nutritiondepartment at ASU. He was also a broken man. He wasabout a year ahead of me on Asp. He had stumbled ontohow toxic Asp was when he provided it to his femaleathletes, on a pre-release basis, and suddenly had abunch of sick girls on his hands. He had looked, andfound much of the same things I had. He had writtenan excellent manuscript “Methanol and the Publichealth”. He and Johanna Bommersbach of the Phoenix“New Times” had carried out a campaign to enlightenthe public. He and the Arizona Dietetic associationhad sued to take Asp off the market in Arizona. Monteand the Community Nutrition Institute in WN, DC hadsued in Federal District Court in D.C. to take it offthe market nationwide. (Along with Dr Dick Wurtman,the head of neuro endrocrinology at MIT, and Dr JohnOlney the Head of biological psychiatry at WashingtonU. in St Louis.) The only result: Woody, who was only a few weeks fromhaving tenure at the University, was fired because ofpolitical pressure on ASU from the Feds. CBS’s planbackfired. Instead of Monte and Wurtman discouragingme, I helped them get their courage up again. It waspredictable, that if Aspartame was really the poisonthat they knew it to be, medical doctors should becoming forward with evidence of this. Well there Iwas! A victim myself, well informed, articulate, networked with other “frontiersmen”, and a collector ofand doctor to many patients afflicted by Aspartame’stoxicity. Rummsfeld, who could care less about humanbeings, or science, had challenged Monte and Wurtmanthat “their science” was worthless. The stuff hadbeen released for general consumption, and was beingwidely used, and presumably, no practicing doctor wasfinding any problems. Thanks to CBS! In spite ofthemselves, they had gotten us networked, and thefrivolous arguments of the opposition were blown away.Monte and Wurtman let CBS know that we were ready togo.My political reality education took another great leapforward when the evening news came to my clinic tofilm. Ned Potter was the “syndicate man” along. Hewas giving me all sorts of eye signs that he reallydidn’t want to do this and he was evasive anduninterested, but his crew had escaped his control. They were on a run. They had found a meaningful,newsworthy situation! One of them came to realize thatAsp was poisoning her. If she chewed even a half astick of Nutra Sweet gum, she got a roaring headache.Now she knew why. I had patients, and charts and wasa fountain of information about Aspartame. Ned calledRather. “The situation has gotten out of control herein Ridgefield, Dan. The crew is all excited and theyare going to make a real story out of this. I can’tcontrol them!”……”Hold everything. I’m coming on out there.” Nedsimply stalled a few more hours while Dan jumped inthe old corporate jet and came on out. When DanRather walked into my clinic he was furious! Helooked like he had a cloud of satanic anger over hishead. As soon as he entered, and looked around the“funny stuff” started. He said, ”We’re not going totalk about formaldehyde toxicity, and methyl alcoholand all that stuff. We’re not going to show thatchart. Were not going to show any patients. As amatter of fact we are not even going to film in thisclinic.” Dan then asked, rather guiltily, for two copies of thechart. Doubtless: One for himself and one forRummsfeld, with whom he shared a jointly owned partyranch out west. I have since heard, from those whoknow Satanism as it exists in our government verywell, that Dan is the head Satanist as far as media isconcerned, and CBS the most heavily infiltrated network. They were certainly working together well onthe Asp and CHz issue. When Dan found out that I knewRummsfeld to be the most powerful godfather in the US,the head of the Jewish Mafia, he was livid and wantedto know how I could be party to that information. Itold him I had a nurse friend who worked next door,and even spent time visiting in the Rummsfeldhousehold. Dan growled out; “That man is going tocatch a bullet”. I wondered why this supposedly greatnewscaster was acting like a Mafioso. My friend, infact caught a computer bullet. He was fired and hasnever been able to work as nurse since. He is foreverblackballed in nursing.They filmed me in my apartment that night, and whenthe show was aired on TV, they cut my presentationdown to three words. They asked, “Would you use NutraSweet.” “No, I wouldn’t.” They hadn’t even told who Iwas or where I was from. Those three words wouldnever constitute quackery. The next day, the papersin Portland, Vancouver, and down the Columbia toLongview, and up river as far as the Tri Cities allcarried headlines, “DR BOWEN CHARGED WITH QUACKERY FORCRITICIZING NUTRA SWEET ON TV”. Some of the smallweeklies no longer printed for themselves, but wereprinted by the Oregonian in Portland, or the Columbianin Vancouver, so they were actually printed inadvance, before the CBS news episode was aired. I’msure this was meant to send not so subliminal messagesto other doctors, that they best not, for their owngood, find anything wrong with Nutra Sweet. That wasthe final blow that financially destroyed my practicein Ridgefield. They had already set up a hit on mylife, but he wasn’t able to fire the shot until justafter the TV program. The gunman had been coming tome as a patient for a couple of weeks but could notset up his shot until later. I will someday have towrite a book about all of this.I spotted an urgent medical need going unmet inClarkston, WA, and quickly moved there to save myfinancial solvency. I had moved from the frying paninto the fire, in more ways than one! Shirley and Iwere once more sick with CHz. The big Potlatch pulpmill was located just across the Snake River inLewiston, Idaho! Clarkston sits down in the mouth ofHell’s Canyon and shares its trapped air with themill. We had gone from the frying pan into the firein yet another way. When I first drove into Clarkstonfrom the west, right out in the open, along thehighway at the west edge of town, was “Charbonneau’s”a large, busy, blatantly advertised brothel, run bythe Jewish mafia out of Las Vegas. Not only had theymisappropriated the name of Sacajawea’s husband. Theyhad corrupted the Courts of Asotin County. I wasright back in amongst the political force behind NutraSweet. They, needless to say, destroyed me. Anythingyou can think of doing to a political dissident: I’vebeen there. They’ve done it to me. I am alive only by the Lord’s protection! I had been researching the possibles, to find amedicine that should be helpful to those afflictedwith CHz. One stood out, above all otherpossibilities, as the best candidate. That wasdoxepin. As mentioned earlier, it is fantasticallysafe when used at therapeutic doses, and has manybeneficial actions built right into that one moleculethat are known to be helpful inhypersensitivity/autoimmunity reactions. Dr RussBanks, my family doctor prescribed it for me. Becauseit is such a potent anti histamine, I had the expectedside effect of extreme initial drowsiness and, in factslept the whole day I took the first dose. Thisreaction, common to all, is called “antihistaminedaze.” I had anticipated this, so wasn’t frightenedby it. Someone not allowing for a couple days off toget started on doxepin, and not starting it at a lowdose like 10 mg or so, would find this initial extremedrowsiness at least frightening. The next day I wasstill a little drowsy, but after that the drowsinesswas not noticeable, and within a week or so wasreplaced by the mild antidepressant effect for whichdoxepin was originally marketed. Russ wanted me totry dexamethasone. He knew well its advantages andused it. When he could finally convince me to try it,the results in every way spoke for themselves. Forthe brief time I could practice in Clarkston, I hadmany gratified patients who were happy to find adoctor who was able and willing to treat theirchemical hypersensitivity diseases. Years later: I was able to try and get on my feetafter the political buzz saw I was run through inAsotin County. I found myself in Ontonagon, locatedin the upper peninsula of Michigan, 350 miles duenorth of Madison, WI on icy Lake Superior. This was true north woods country, where chill factorsof minus ninety and absolute temperatures more thanfourty below zero could happen. Ontonagon averagesmore than 300 inches of snow per winter. The summersare brief but memorable, spring and fall but passingfancies. Winter reigns! My political education was tobe continued. Ontonagon is a paper mill town. Michigan had been pretty well dominated by its autoindustry and union politics, so the pulp and paperindustry had to toe the line. You could be right by apaper mill in either Ontonagon or Munising and notsmell it. That’s right! The stench, and pollutants,which the pulp and paper industry spews into theatmosphere and waters of other states isn’t at allnecessary. It’s just cheaper to buy both thepoliticians and the media, than to clean up your act. How conscientious of both! Clarkston had a large nursing facility full of thoseborn deformed, as the result of the pulp pollutants inHell’s Canyon. They spent their existence, not“lives”, tucked away from public view. MPTP,(1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetra-hydro-pyridine) isthe pulp pollutant most responsible. There are plentyof others such as sulphites, etc. MPTP alone is anextremely potent cause of birth defects, such ashydrocephalus, microcephalus, neuro tube defects, andall types of neuro degenerative diseases, andpervasive developmental disorders. Mitochondrialdeficiency dzes of all types are also produced by it. MPTP acts through destruction of mitochondria, andmitochondrial competence by generating super oxidefree radicals in the mitochondria. MPTP has beenknown for 60 years to produce these lesions. Thedamage is so classical and predictable of pattern thatMPTP is used to produce research animals of variouslesions, and dz patterns to test drug actions on. Little surprise that CHz and Asp toxic people don’t dowell in pulp air. How promising Ontonagon seemed. The air coming in offof Lake Superior was fresh and clean. I encounteredsome CHz patients glad to find a doc that they couldwork with. Sometimes the news I had for them justwasn’t good though. If they lived in a house that wastoxic to them, they surely didn’t like facing the factthey had to move. Avoidance is the key in CHz. Icould offer them treatment, but no resolution exceptto change their environment. This caused some realhostility on the part of their spouses who feltperfectly healthy and could detect no odor or anythingelse wrong in the same house. Those who worked in asmall local industry, which exposed them to solvents,had no realistic option but to quit their badly neededjobs. In fact, their employer left the urban workzone to escape enforcement of EPA regs against whatthey were doing. It is not that we don’t haveadequate written legal protections. It is rather thatthe various satanic agencies grant immunity, thrumanipulation and corruption, to their brotherhoods. My optimisms about the clean air in Ontonagon soonwere found to have significant exceptions. I wouldwake up in the wee small hours of the morning,suddenly sick with CHz symptoms, and not know why. Iwas sure I could smell whiffs of burning sulfur. Oneof my patients, a delightful bright young highschooler, had figured out for herself that Nutra Sweetwas poisoning her, even causing her to convulse. Shehad gotten off of it, and seemed to have recovered. She didn’t have any idea about CHz, though, and whenshe began to convulse in the wee small hours of themorning she came to me, because she knew that I had aspecial interest in Aspartame related phenomena. Wecompared notes, and used our combined contacts to findout just what was stalking us in the wee hours. Wefound that the Stone Container paper mill wasillegally burning high sulfur coal. The burnt sulfurcompounds were lifted high in the air by thermalconvection. But when the chill of night caused alakeshore inversion phenomenon, they were dumped downall over the town. She began sleeping at a relative’s house about tenmiles out of town, and never convulsed again. I movedabout five miles west of town, and I, no longergetting the inverted burnt sulfur, was no longerbothered at night. Sulphur dioxide (SO2) emissionsfrom power plants burning high sulfur coal kills11,000 people, in the US alone, every year. Thisviolates state, federal, and international law, andtreaty provisions. There is no enforcementwhatsoever. Welcome to the “New World Order” ashighly touted by Geo Bush Sr. There are horribleproblems from SO2 in Colorado Springs. They won’tprotect even their own “spooks” from it! There were afew other personal lessons to be learned about CHz inOntonagon. I was now a bachelor and decided to have afew drinks in the evening. Boom! My CHz was back witha vast upheaval of neurological symptoms. I had tothink about that! Well it makes sense. Alcohol is aneurotoxin and so would denature neural tissue. Italso is a potent solvent. Solvents are famous forflaring CHz. Okay but what about a glass of wine inthe evening. I found it would also flare my LouGehrig’s symptoms, polymyalgias, etc. and woulddepress me to boot. Well, after all, wines andbrandies have far more methanol and other congenersthan does beer or other spirits. None are free ofmethanol, and other problematic congeners though. TheCHz patient simply has to stay away from all beveragescontaining any alcohol. Wines and wine coolers usesulfites (SO2) as preservative. Well, there goes theSangria! Tobacco is devastating in CHz. I grew up in asmoking home. The only colors of inside air Ibreathed were the different layers of smoky blue. Allmy adult life until Asp and CHz, I found the smell oftobacco smoke to be pleasantly aromatic. Now even asmoker who has it in their clothing smells horrible tome, and being around one will make me ill. The wholerevolt against public smoking has come about sinceAspartame was marketed. I understand why! Thesymptoms, and the flares of symptoms you get fromdifferent things and in different circumstances willoften be inconsistent. You will not have a consistentpattern or symptom complex every time you have aproblem with CHz. Remarkable variability of symptomsand reactivity is the usual.An RN, who was having such fits with autoimmunitydiseases, that she had gone to an excellent nearby(175mi) regional referral center for sub specialtycare, fell into my care when she asked if she couldcome home to Ontonagon for a second pulsed regimen ofIV methyl prednisolone. She had been to Marshfield aweek or two previously, but her auto immunities hadagain flared. She was back up to the Marshfieldclinic for a second pulsed regimen of 3000 mg for 4days. Those large doses of IV methyl prednisolone arevery expensive, and along with the hospitalizationcould probably represent a $15-$20,000 cost. Bycomparison, she could safely have taken a pulse ofabout 4 mg/day of dexamethasone at home for abouttwenty cents! She needed to be close to her family. She asked her Marshfield docs if she could have meadminister the solu medrol in our little north woodshospital, and they kindly agreed. I met her for thefirst time as I walked into her room. She wascradling a Diet Pepsi in her hand. She had thedepression and mental skitzyness that someone who hasbeen blown away by Aspartame often exhibits becausethey mentally, are toxically impaired. No one cangive them sensible answers that lead to a resolutionof their problems. They are moreover, out of physicaland mental condition from the disease processes thatafflict them. So she was! I gently assured her thatshe could relax; I was just there to cooperate fullywith her and the Marshfield doctors’ wishes. After taking a complete history and physical, Iordered the IV Solu Medrol. I then took the time torelate to her my experiences with Aspartame, and thetoxic mechanisms by which it had done this to her.(She had wildly flared SLE, Systemic LupusErythematosis and Periarteritis Nodosum, and statusepilepticus.) She was quite paranoid from the meds,the diseases, her post ictal state, and the Asp. Ididn’t know if I was getting through to her at all. Apparently, on contemplation, she put the wholepicture together, and noted that her epilepsy, whichwas usually well controlled on Dilantin andPhenobarbital, had gone completely out of control whenshe went on the Diet Pepsi. She arrived at Ontonagon,convulsing up to fourty times per day in spite ofheavy doses of anti convulsants. She quit the DietPepsi immediately, and in within 24 hrs herconvulsions were under control. Her Lupus and PeriArteritis also cleared rapidly and never recurredagain. She later went on to do something I would neverhave dared counsel her to do. She went off of all heranticonvulsants, and has never seized since! Maybethere is one legitimate use for Aspartame. Perhapssomeone with status epilepticus could burn out theirseizure centers with it. Her problems were clusteredso atypically, while on Asp, and so completely clearedwhen she came off of it, that as in my case, herfellowProfessionals felt they had to assume she was a druguser, or SOMETHING. It couldn’t have been that ”safe,natural, FDA approved Diet Pepsi.”Neither Ontonagon, nor the Upper Peninsula, as of yethave seceded from the Lower Peninsula, so they are runby Detroit and Lansing just as much as Jackson is. And Detroit is right in there with Portland, NY, andLA as centers of Jewish power control. SO, mypractice in Ontonagon was not to be allowed tocontinue. First my malpractice insurance through thestate pool was withdrawn. When I appealed thisdecision, the panel of Jewish doctors I appearedbefore in Lansing would merely say. “We don’t want toinsure a doctor like you.” They could cite no reasonother than that. So I went to work as medicaldirector at North American Biologicals in Lansing. Iam of Jewish ancestry and so am sometimes morecognizant of things “Jewish.” A friend of mine,likewise of Jewish ancestry, but in no way actuallypracticing any of the variants of Judaism, exceptbible based Christianity, ran with the Jewish crowd inAnn Arbor at the U of M in 1967. Rummsfeld informed them in 1967, through B’nai B’rith(Oft called “Benny” by those who feel they benefitthrough it.) that he was going to make Jerry Fordpresident. At that time Ford was a virtually unknownjunior congressman from Minnesota. Watergate was 7years in the future! Rummsfeld then did make JerryPresident and was chief of staff in the Ford whitehouse. The last few weeks of the Ford presidency heassumed the title of “secretary of defense”. Rummsfeld, in the intervening years remained in theDOD only as an organized crime influence, and wasthoroughly despised by the decent people in ourdefense department, even though his influence was suchthat the news media often called him ”the secretary ofdefense” and the real appointees did not so much asdare make an issue of it. I hope this helps you to understand why Aspartame goton the market, and remains there. I.e.: What would bemore important? Minor indiscretions in the Nixoncampaign, or the millions adults and infants alike,whose bodies and lives are forever ruined, and thehealth and that of future generations of billionsdoomed by the impaired DNA, RNA, and Mt DNA in theirbodies from “Nutra Sweet,” which Rummsfeld, in histypical arrogant “godfather” style, bragged ofinitiating, telling the press. “I pulled in all mymarkers to get Aspartame marketed.” Reagan referredto Rummsfeld as “my undersecretary of defense.” Youhave recently seen momentous steps taken to abandonevery republican principle upon which the US wasbuilt. You are seeing them replaced by a fascistempire. It is difficult to believe that the twin towers werenot adequately protected. They were in “no fly”airspace, which was protected with great redundancy. They had their own radar, which was backed up bycivilian and military radar systems. They had, on theroof, their own battery of anti-aircraft missiles. They also had two attack helicopters, armed withanti-aircraft missiles and other anti aircraftweaponry, all quite sufficiently redundant to MORETHAN stop anything that might come at them. They werein addition, protected by military aircraft. In spiteof all this: They came to be hit by an airplane. Thesecond hit was even more a military impossibility, and5 minutes AFTER the President, speaking from Floridahad already said it had happened. NO wonder Rummsfeldgrowled ominously through the media; “Anyone who givesaway any information which endangers this operationwill be dealt with severely”. Nutra Sweet wassupposed to have you so brain numb, and your will soderailed that you would believe any thing the mediaserved up to you, and anything the government dishedout. I hope not. We need to pay attention to known facts. It was on the morning of 9-11 that Rummsfeld was to beinvestigated before an internal investigativecommittee on matters of his organized crimemalfeasance while lurking around, and running programsin the DOD under the Bushes and Reagan. The fallingtowers provided him, and the Bushes the urgentlyneeded diversion, just as their fraternal cousinHitler provided cover for his preposterousdictatorship by taking some convicts out of prison,and to the polish border, dressing them in Polishuniforms and gunning them down in a border station. He declared war on Poland because “Germany had beenattacked by Poland.”Back in Ontonagon! I had arranged malpracticeinsurance through a private company and was back inpractice. The Satanists were just not content to haveme buried in a busy practice in one of the most remotecommunities in the US. It was all the more out of theway, because winter blizzards can isolate thecommunity for a couple days at a time. Yes, once againI was charged with quackery for stating that Aspartameis toxic. When I provided my attorney a file of morethan adequate information, the quackery charges weredropped. My attorney, who should have been elated wasso mad that, he “poor boy”, had to stand up to thepolitics of Detroit and Lansing, that he threw thefiles at my feet, and shouted “I cannot give youeffective representation without ruining my politicalcareer.” Yes, we live in a dictatorship whereattorneys must always serve our dictators. So, hebecame their pimp and sold me just like my attorney inClarkston had. The political machinery of Satanism(the Masonic orders, B’nai B’rith and Illuminati, openSatanism, witchcraft in all its’ forms, etc.) is sopowerful in our sick world that virtually everyattorney has sold himself to them. And: They have theblackmail, and terror weapons to back it up with. Youcannot become a federal judge in this USA unless theyhave enough documented immorality on you to controlyou forever. That is the real “war on terrorism” thatneeds to be waged on our behalf. My attorney then said that I was to be tried on thebasis that I was mentally ill, because I had said thatAspartame was toxic. He missed every filing date forentering evidence, so that the facts becameirrelevant. (Or whatever; On the Aspartame issue thereign of law, right and wrong, concern for humanwelfare, truth or science are irrelevant: All elsemust fall as needed to perpetuate Aspartame.) I had amental exam before Benedict and Arnold in Ann Arbor,MI. Once again the facts were irrelevant. Aspartamewas on the market, and that was that. I was not goingto be allowed to talk about it. They would ask mequestions and would try to drown me out but I wouldcompletely answer them with solid biochemistry, whichwas irrelevant. They later destroyed the tape of theinterview so nothing could be proven, except that thatin their opinion, even though they could find noevidence of a psychosis, believing that Aspartame wastoxic was a delusion so dangerous, that it made me toodangerous as a doctor to safely practice medicine. Arnold was the head of the American PsychologicalAssociation, and Benedict three times the head of theAmerican Psychiatric Association. They asked me how itcould be politically possible for such a foul compoundto be on the market. I went into Rummsfeld’s andRather’s roles, as exemplary. Benedict came unglued.She started rocking back and forth in agony of souland started screaming “I HATE THAT CONCEPT, I HATETHAT CONCEPT”. I had seen similar behavior on the part of my littleJewish grandmother when she listened to radio reportscoming out of Germany as it was falling, near the endof WWII. She would rock back and forth in the samedistraught manner, screaming; “OH those dirty Germans,those dirty Germans.” Apparently we are to accept thereign of Jewish organized crime and Hassidic fascismjust because the Illuminati, the spiritual andorganizational descendants of the sun worshippingsatanic pagans, who anciently got Israel and Judahdestroyed by their activities, and politicalleadership in those nations, now have again and still,taken the name “Jewish” upon themselves. They arenow seeing to the destruction of the world with thesame ruthless, determined Satanism. Said my attorney. You just can’t talk about “Jewish”issues. Has speech no freedom or truth no libertyanymore? How much evil should be allowed to hidebehind the skirts of “anti anti Semitism”? (“Aunty” isthe best acronym I could think of) My Jewishprosecutor, openly made opposing Aspartame, a matterof “anti Semitism.” If so, we should all best proudlybe called “anti semites.” Is that what it takes tostand up for science, sanity and human welfare? Isthat what it takes to stand for truth and humanity?They also played the “Jewish” card in their coverstory about from where Aspartame came; stating that a“Jewish scientist” had accidentally got his fingers insome, and then into his mouth went the fingers. Voila!He discovered Aspartame to be sweet. Impossible,because Aspartame is not sweet, it is bitter and foulflavored. They have to mix other neuro toxins withit, to create a sweet flavor, to even get it into youas a sweetener. They go on their evil way, not evenlisting those ”tastands”, as required by law. Howcould they? Those are not safe for market either. The horribly toxic diketopiperazine of Aspartame isalso added to food in spite of its bitterness, andcannot be made sweet tasting in any manner. Almost all the good people who are, or have been mycollaborators in opposing Aspartame are either Jewish,or like myself, of Jewish descent. Were I born inGermany, I was exterminated. That didn’t stop mylittle Jewish prosecutor, who missed WWII by a coupledecades, from going to Dr Ralph Walton, one of mydefense witnesses, and telling him that he shouldn’ttestify on my behalf because I was “anti Semitic”. What to make of all this? The facts are the onlyrelevant thing. “Jewish is as Jewish does.” Isn’tthat fair? Enough of the “political correctness”,already! Any other cards the Satanists want toplay are just window dressing, usually playeddeceptively to set human beings against each otherwith name calling and, “let’s you and him fight” wordgames. It is transparent, that Satan, like his loyalfollower Rummsfeld, pulled in all his “Jewish cards”on this one. “Benny and Aunty’s” skirts have worn fartoo thin from covering so much evil and satanicmalice. You can see right through. My life without a medical license hasbeen an ongoing education in the toxicity ofAspartame. I continue to encounter ruthless Satanistsat every turn. They seem to think they can undo theirmistake, of not leaving me isolated in Ontonagon, bykilling me, or going to even more preposterous lengthsto discredit me and the others who speak truthfully onAsp. I applied for a vets comp pension in Portland,Oregon. I was VA hospitalized on neurology service,on the false pretense that I had to be hospitalizedfor an MRI and CAT scan for my pension evaluation dueto “VA rules.” Then they said that that thepsychiatry residents had to make rounds on me too. The Jewish psychiatry residents would come to my roomwith such open malice that they appeared snakelike intheir posturing. Just eager to strike! Wouldn’t youknow! I had several previous adverse psychiatricexams that stated otherwise, by people far more expertthan they, and all backed up by extensive psychometrictesting! But that didn’t stop them! They inventedthat I had an “atypical psychosis” “Now. What doesthat mean?” A lot of people have asked me. It merelymeans they don’t like what I was saying and they weredetermined to destroy with the most potent psychopolitical weapon available to them at the moment,shouting. “PSYCHOTIC.” Needless to say, I removedmyself from their hospital before they could fire morepotent weapons. They were exemplary of what Satandoes to people who sell themselves by aligning withany of his various orders. They are possessed assurely as they accept even identification as a group. They become little more than psychopathic egomaniacsjust like their master, Satan and have nothing butmalice to offer as professionals, complete hypocrites,willing, even eager pimps for Satan. Anyposition they may be in is no longer fitly filled fora decent society.The monologue “Psycho Politics” from the Church ofScientology is probably the best monograph availableto bring you up to date with the way mass mind controlagents, like Aspartame, and the psychology/psychiatricpower structures are being used to control politicaldissident in our country, and also documents its rootsin modern times. It has been around as long asSatanism has. In medieval times, scientists wereburned at the steak for stating that the world wasround, not flat, like the power structure said it was.After all that, I got a letter on official VAstationary stating that the final hearing for a VApension had been delayed until later. A few dayslater I got a letter stating I had been denied pensionbecause I had failed to appear! Some of the lastnames given to Satan, in the bible, are ”liar”,“murderer”, “accuser of the brethren”, and “destroyerof the earth.” His followers at every level, in everyprofession are addicts to these activities. Those whojoin his fraternities and reap his “bait”, becomepossessed of his demons and are no longer capable ofthe good they otherwise would be. The monkey trap! They can’t let go without the help of the Lord theyhave rejected. I refer to the Creator of the infiniteuniverse, and Redeemer of this finite world, referredto by some as “Allah”, and by others as “Jehovah”,who, when he chose to show his character to usincarnate, and became through love permanently bondedto us: one with us, was called Christ, the “Messiah”,the “Son of God”. I have tried making an honest living in everyconceivable way that I could find, but so far, theLord Jehovah has allowed the Satanists to keep theirthreat to see to it that I would never ”have anything,be anything or do anything.” I have been stuck inPortland, more or less, while trying to get VA comp. I have had opportunity to, in this horribly pollutedcorner of the world, see CHz disease at work. I triedunsuccessfully to make a living drivingtranscontinental truck. I have encounteredIlluminati satanic influence in every area of ournational fabric. Every truck I ever took out ended upbeing sabotaged, usually in the owner’s shop. Oneexample: I was arriving in Vallejo, CA, fromPortland, OR. I had ridden my jake brakes through theSiskiyous or I wouldn’t have gotten that far, by anymeans. As I was going downhill into Vallejo, I saw ared light a block ahead of me. I hit my brakes. Therewere no brakes. That doesn’t happen with air brakes,because as long as you have air pressure, the brakeswork, and if you don’t have lots of air pressure, thespring loaded emergency brakes lock the whole truckdown. That was not happening, and both lanes ahead ofme were packed with cars that did not know they wereabout to be turned into canned sardines. I was able to miss the car ahead of me only by theLord’s blessing. (It appeared physically impossible),and get into the right turn lane. That would flop thetruck over on its’ side and sweep the wholeintersection with 75 feet and 80,000 pounds ofdestruction. I had to go right on through the redlight, against traffic! “Thank God!” No one was hit. But not a minute to breath easy! Just two blocksahead of me was the next red light, and all threelanes were packed with cars. No way out! And thosepeople, likewise, were clueless that they were aboutto be mangled. I had no choice but to take the semiacross the median into the oncoming traffic, becausethey could see me coming, and take evasive action. Idid, and they did. I coasted down the hill and rolledinto a little truck stop that was conveniently locatedthere. I called my boss and told him what hadhappened.He shouted into the phone “Drive that truck on. Thereis nothing wrong with those brakes.” It took quite ashouting match to convince him that I would drive thetruck nowhere until the brakes were fixed. Themechanic arrived and fixed the brakes. The next hillI went over, the brakes were gone again. The mechaniccame out and fixed the brakes again. The brakes wentout a third time. I helped the mechanics each timethey fixed the brakes. Everything we saw wasevidence that the whole air brake system had beensystematically sabotaged. About nine out of tenthings you could have done to sabotage an air brakesystem, and make it appear normal on routine braketesting, before you took the truck out of the lot, hadbeen done: crossed air lines, cracked and brokencomponents, some not completely bolted on or the boltsleft loose, etc. Do you think that the Illuminati,Satanic power structure cared for even a second howmany they killed or mangled with their sick foolingaround? Not even for a second! Or they would neverunleash the nefarious chemical warfare agent,Aspartame on the unsuspecting world. In Portland, I found that I would wake up on many afresh clear spring or winter morning only to find mybody stinging all over with sharp electric shock likepains from multiple mono neuropathies, and my CHzgenerally flared up. I took a nightshift cab driverjob to see what had happened to me during the night. I observed that about midnight, or the wee small hoursof the morning that the Portland/Vancouver metroarea’s air often became a chemical “sewer.” Thenighttime inversions and still air effects dumped allthe accumulated pollution from higher levels down uponthe unsuspecting, sleeping populace in a dense,chemical pollutant smog. Then, as the rising sunwarmed the mountaintops, and air began to stir to theeast, the polluted air began to move on eastward andupward, and by the time the sun was well up, the airappeared pristine.I found that when the air was clean, my arthritispains, muscle aches and neurological problemsremarkably lessened, and my blood sugar levels werenormal. When inversions formed, everything got worse,and my blood sugars could go way high. I contractedLyme dz from a tick bite. The whole scenario wasatypical because of the CHz from Aspartame. Isuffered greatly, and was permanently damaged becausethe VA, my only source of medical care, was ignorantand totally indifferent. It took about a week to,because of my indigent status, and trying to get anycare from the VA, (which they diligently refused me),to get treated and that was a week too long to haverecurrent Lyme dz and CHz, in concert, ravaging mybody. This experience is detailed and correlated inmy article on Lyme disease on www.dorway.com. Aclearer copy is available on www.rense.com. Pollen and fungal bloom seasons are major traumas, nowthat my CHz is kept flared by the Portland pollutants.A Greyhound bus ride is a trip in a horror chamberfor me because of the chemicals and chronic fungalproblems in the buses. Drivers state that about halfof them, also are made really ill by the new buses andsome are ill, but not so severely. Which fits theother correlations that I have found, to theconclusion that probably 2/3 to ¾ of our populationnow have some degree of CHz, due to Aspartame. Timesof cool damp weather and oncoming low pressure frontsare also almost always a problem for me because theyfoster blooms of fungal sporulation and stableinversions. I once returned to Portland after anabsence to find that I could not stay in my van foreven a minute. It had been colonized by the horriblytoxic stachybotyris mold. My ozone and negative ionmachine, used overnight, made it healthy andcomfortable for me so long as the machine remained on,even though the stachybotyris remained active just afew inches away, under my mattress.The things you need to remember if you may be havingthese kinds of problems are to always listen to yourbody and to maintain a healthy paranoia and extremeskepticism. I have found that major corporations arewilling to sacrifice the public confidence in theirbrand names, which is worth billions to them, in orderto funnel Nutra Sweet into your body. I was told “allbran” cereal now has Aspartame listed on the label. There is no profit motive unless the words “Diet” or“sugar free” etc. are prominently advertised on thecontainer. So what is the motive for putting Asp ineverything else? In the summer of ’95, I found myselfmade ill, shortly after I started drinking a regularFresca. The regular Tab also had Asp. By the summerof ‘99 regular coke was withdrawn from market allacross the Caribbean, Mediterranean and Europe becausethey had apparently stuck Sweetener 2000, a morepotent variant of Aspartame, into it, with no publicnotice. The same epidemic occurred here in the US with flusymptoms, male sexual dysfunction, and polymyalgia/chronic fatigue symptoms being prominentfeatures. Coke had been the only pop I could drinkbecause it uses cresol as a preservative, as opposedto the others, which use sorbates, sorbitol, andbenzoates, which are like “death” to me. When itstarted giving me all the above, I looked around, andfound out what was going on elsewhere around theworld, and got off the coke. I improved. I thennoticed that the new Milky Way candy bars caused me torelapse. Oops! There went my favorite candy bar! Then Tropicana orange juice got to me. Then MinuteMaid orange juice got me. I have to admit that theneuro-excito toxin sweetener on top of the naturalsugar flavor in those products sure tasted good,though. In some nations Aspartame, and the like arenow being routinely added to sugar itself. I findthat off brands of juices, cereals, etc. are far saferfor me than major brand names. Cosmetics are realproblems. Plz see my other dorway articles like“Punditry and Palsies”, “Sperm Warfare”, etc. to getthe whole picture. Avoidance is the key to livingwith your CHz condition and staying healthy. As soonas I can get my pension matters resolved I am getting“The hell out of Portland”! Repugnancy is an important defense mechanism. Nomatter what! If some thing doesn’t seem, feel, smell,or taste right, obey your body’s good senseimmediately, and assiduously avoid it. The mere factthat it has once made you feel poorly is evidenceenough, that for you it is truly bad. Avoid denial. This is very hard to do. We all want to be “tough andcarry on.” So, we want to deny that something isbothering us, or that it will make us sick if weignore it. While writing this article, I was using afelt tip marker that smelled repugnant to me. Ishould have cast it aside. But I persisted with allsorts of rationalizations until I had the full blown“bonfire” effect going, in spite of the daily doxepinI was taking, and had to take a pulse of dexamethasoneget the “bonfire” quenched and get my health and bloodsugars back to normal. “ The bonfire effect” means you may not perceptiblyreact to a single exposure of the same chemicalstimulus when your CHz is quiescent, that you willhave a violent, “explosive” reaction to when your Chzis “flared”. Just like a wet pitch knot thrown on abonfire. Sometimes I have to sit in the balcony ofchurch, to avoid people and their cosmetics. I wouldlike to give you a complete as possible list of knowncausatives but that will have to await anotherarticle. Causatives can be quite varied. I use onlyoriginal Palmolive liquid dish soap for all mypersonal hygiene etc., because for me, it is theperfect shampoo, lacking any noxious problems for me.You will have to find what works for you.Formaldehyde and its congeners can be found ineverything from ice cream, to new concrete, to methylcellulose which gets around: About everywhere! Youwill encounter “sick air, sick water, sick buildings,sick areas (either from pollutants or positiveionization zones) sick food, and sick medicines. (Yes,they even put Asp into epilepsy medicine. It thengives you seizures instead of preventing them. Figurethat!), sick building materials, sick clothing, sickbedding, sick cars.“(Most ARE now.): And, on and on…. All with tragic results for you! You need to put alot of effort into finding what is wholesome for you,and avoiding the rest, or pay the consequences.Specific therapeutic measures would be a diet of foodshigh in antioxidants like cantaloupe, watermelon,kale, collards and other colorful fruits andvegetables. A good intake, but without overdoing it,of trace minerals and vitamins. E.g., Selenium200mcg/day; more will cause you problems. Vitamin Ewithout preservatives 200 u /day: more can flare yourproblems. Added vitamin C in excess of 500 mg/day cancause the production of free radicals rather than justquenching them. 200 mg/day is a nice safe zone. Youneed to get as much from an excellent diet aspossible, and then listen very carefully to your body,without preconceived ideas, so you can actuallydetermine what works the best for you. Beware of“nutritional counselors” some don’t have any realunderstanding of what they are doing. I saw oneprescribe glutamic acid to patients with MSGsensitivity and it is just the same. Of course theresults were awful, and the patient’s faith in the“doctor” really clouded the issue.Doxepin at a usual dose of 40 to 80 mg per day is thebest thing I know of to help you live with CHz. Presently I take 20 in the AM and 60HS. Some peopleuse 200mg/day or more. It won’t cure CHz, but canhelp limit symptoms and complications, so long as youdo the other things you need to do, especiallyavoidance. A pulse of dexamethasone of .5 to 1 mg,used infrequently and only as needed to suppressautoimmune flares, is the best treatment that I knowof. Some of the immunologists here in Vancouver areusing 4 mg/day of dexamethasone plus about 40 mg/dayof prednisone for 60 days to try and “cure” people oftheir CHz . I have never seen it totally work, but itdoesn’t do any permanent damage, and it establishesthat the therapeutic windows, which I suggest areperfectly safe. Some times I take 1 mg ofdexamethasone in a severe circumstance (I weigh 260#),and repeat it in a few hours if symptoms aren’tsubsiding, and then follow up with 1 mg the next AM. I have never required more than that to stop anautoimmune flare in my own body. This article will have done but little good if ithasn’t stimulated a desire to know the truth, and thedetermination to think for yourself. Become afrontiersman! I have mentioned doxepin anddexamethasone as favorable possibilities for CHzmanagement. If you try either, or an herb, etc., youneed to very critically assess whether it is reallydoing any good, and listen to your body carefully tomake sure it is doing no harm. My recommendationcannot, at that point, be of any further importance. If your body tells you otherwise listen to it, and tothose close to you! Otherwise we may have wasted ourtime here. Likewise don’t uncritically believe whatyou hear on the news. It will be used as convenientor expedient propaganda to mislead you and defraud youof your rights and everything else. If you consideryourself Jewish and you are eating the chemicallypoisoned food supply, let that be evidence enough,that whatever benefits you may receive, you are apatsy for Rummsfeld, the Bushes, the Rothschilds, andall the other Illuminati Satanists who really serveonly their master, Lucifer, as did their fraternalcousin, Adolph Hitler. If you consider yourself a loyal American, rememberthat those who have done this to you are guilty of“un-American activities” as surely as were those Nazisaboteurs brought here in WWII. These may have comewith paperclips instead of submarines, and they maysit in the presidency, and defense dept. Littlematter. They are saboteurs of the most heinousnature, and they have not the slightest intention ofletting go the reigns of power they have illegallyseized from you. The present darkness has created adearth of knowledge. “Outcome based education” is apropaganda device now deeply instilled in oureducational system to insure that our youth not becometechnically excellent, nor expert, but that theybecome avid believers, and pundits of the “propagandaline” as befits the designs of the new world order. We need a “latter rain” of wisdom and values torefresh and “water” the minds of those who will be ourfuture, so they can grow, and produce good fruit and aplenteous harvest thereof! Some of the basic biochemistry that I have shared withyou has now been deleted from the current biochemistrytexts, lest the “scientists” now in training read itand start to “think for themselves”. Or worse! Become“serious investigators of fact.” They are to sit attheir computers as the machine spews out the partyline. And they, made into pundits thereby, are tospeak to you as persons of “expertise,” to spread thepresent darkness as high priests of the new worldorder. Their paychecks depend on it, and for most:“Where the money is, there is where the heart is.” Now you understand why Christ said: “ The love ofmoney is the root of all evil.” The politics ofAspartame is a vivid example of how people can becontrolled thereby, even though Aspartame itself hasbeen a financial loser for every company who has everpandered with it. I would challenge you to become once more “realAmericans” and pray for a rebirth of brotherly love,and religious motivation to respect for the well beingof our neighbor, whoever he may be. Our forefathers“prayed but kept their powder dry.” Militancy, to letthe sick, satanically corrupted government know thatthey are, about immediately, going to lose the supportof their populace if this “chemical warfare upon us”is not suddenly, like NOW, and definitively brought toa screeching halt, is in order. The time for talkingis over, the time for remedy or relief is past. Immediate “cure” is essential. President John F.Kennedy would turn over in his grave if he knew thisheinous abortifacient had been put on the market bythe “nation of Satanists” amongst us, who would nowdeprive us of life and liberty. He asserted: “ Letevery nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill,that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet anyhardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assurethe survival and the success of liberty.”Sincerely,James D.
