I am 52 years old as of this week.  I am six feet tall and weight approx.183 pounds.  I was told I am in the throws of menopause.   I have been an

athlete winning the Alabama state time trial in my division (bicycling) 2 years ago.  I was told I had Non-Hodkin's lymphoma a year ago but am now in remission as of 4 months ago.   I've been drinking diet drinks for years and eating nothing but diet cookies, cakes, etc, putting it on cereal at bedtime.  I was a fool.  God has seen to it that I will live longer by showing me the error of my ways!  Two days ago  nurse friend at work showed me an article about Aspartame, NutraSweet, Equal and it freaked me out completely!  I've been having the following symptoms for a long time now and they have been getting worse:

These sounds familiar to you?  There are others.  I just can't think of them right now.  I took myself completely off anything diet just two days ago and I swear I already feel better.  I haven't had one tremor today. In fact it's been a great day!   My dr. decided to try me on Paxil and Zoloft.  I was afraid to take any of them so they are sitting near the garbage fixing to go in it.  I know what's been wrong with me now.

Good luck to you.  Please support this cause.
