I was so desperate that I began a family website that had a plea for any information on any substance that could serve as a "silver bullet" to kill my crippling arthritis-like pains. No takers, of course.

About the time I wondered if Dr. Jack Kevorkian had a full "dance card" I chanced upon a holistic healing website that had a newly posted article "The 92 symptoms of aspartame poisoning". I knew nothing about "aspartame" and I thought "FDA" stood for Federal DRUG Agency... not Food and Drug Administration".  However, being so desperate I was into reading everything.  Part way into the article it mentioned "Equal" and "Nutrasweet".

That June 1996 article saved my life.

The suggestion was that if one had problems their doctors could not seem to cure... and also used products containing aspartame, to simply read labels and eliminate all aspartame for up to 60 days and observe the results.

Within five weeks I went from an old man's shuffle (with a cane) of around 50 foot at a time (and shrinking) to walking a new Super K-Mart end to end and all around three times... with no problems.

With each passing week problems such as the burning heels, shooting pains, numb-tingling hands and feet, "carpal tunnel" and other problems evaporated.

• - maddening tinnitus
• - massive memory loss, and
• - I am now ten years into terminal prostate cancer.

I credit one or more of the many toxins (and carcinogens) in the breakdown of Equal in my coffee with being the prime suspects in my becoming the first among my long-lived ancestors to acquire any form of cancer.  I credit a lifetime (60 years) of cow's milk and dairy (all of it with a powerful growth hormone in it) with making that cancer grow so fast it had already spread at the young age of 55... when I was diagnosed with having prostate cancer.

IGF-1 is a powerful growth hormone that happens to be identical between cows and humans. During 1997 I learned about cow's milk and dairy. It took me a year to wean myself from my favorite cheeses and ice creams.  The bonus... my cancer now grows over three times more slowly!

There is a whole lot MORE wrong with cow's milk and dairy... and this overview should be of help to everyone wondering why they are fat, and getting fatter, sick and getting worse. (for specifics with references read the book "Milk, A to Z").

After my discovery I attempted to warn the medical system... and was either rebuffed as an ignorant layman or never received a response.

I tried to enlist the help of the media... and was ignored.  I wrote a certified letter of complaint to the FDA (1996) and to date I have yet to receive a response. A month and a half later I sent a copy of that letter, with a cover letter, by certified mail to the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)... and to date I have never received any reply from them either.
