Case History

You know, many elderly resign themselves to accepting ailments and discomfort as just "age." But wait until you read what this woman wrote us. At age 87, she is on the Internet researching health and wellness, and implementing what she reads! It just goes to show that at any age you can still find ways to be healthier. How wonderful it would be if more people had her attitude. What an inspiration she is.

From Marjorie H. Pruett -Durham, NC
My friends and family have been after me for years to stop using aspartame. Last week my friend brought me a jar of sugar (I didn't even have any in the house). She asked me to stop using Equal for a week, so I did. It has been about ten days since I have used it. What's more, my tea tastes better. I may gain weight - but so what!!!

Prior to stopping aspartame, I had a terrible itching on my back with no rash. I would scratch until I bled. I have suffered from depression for years. It is easing up now. I recently had surgery to repair a bad hiatal hernia. My digestion seems to be better, though I still have had some post-operative problems i.e. Incisional hernia.

This is a preliminary report ,as I haven't been off aspartame long enough to be able to sing the praises of abstention.

The veil is coming off my brain, though. I have been "sickly" for about a year and a half. Though I am eighty-seven-years old, I am not used to being sick. I have had arthritis and fibromyalgia for years. I have an artificial knee, the other knee just started to hemorrhage as did my first knee. I have an artificial shoulder which has never stopped hurting. I have little use of my right arm and can't even roll up my hair.

I am so thrilled at the improvement that I don't know what to do. Time alone will tell what other improvements I will experience.
