December 8, 2005 Thanks, Andrew. I appreciate your detailed, helpful, frankly Spirit-based sharings.

I gave this advice to a lady who was concerned about a multiple sclerosis diagnosis:

What Rich Murray eats:

Avoid all products with aspartame and MSG. Subsbreastute stevia (at health food stores).

Gradually reduce alcohol, caffeine (coffee, cocoa, and teas), meat, fish, eggs, milk, butter, and cheese, hydrogenated oils, trans fats, white bread, food additives and colors, sugar, high fructose corn syrup,

Enjoy organic rice, potatoes, vegetables, fruits, beans, garlic, tumeric, with modest use of soy products, walnuts, almonds, flax seeds, almond butter, sprouted grain breads, flax seed and olive oils, chili sauce, 4-8 1,000 mg fish oil capsules, and fill your jugs with deionized or distilled water. *******************************************************

Medical: limit medicines to the absolutely essential, and find helpers who are qualified, reputable, open-minded, happy, excellent listeners, knowledgeable about diet and health -- females are often the best

Exercise: ordinary walking, swimming, movement clbuttes, swimming, moderate workouts at gyms

Reduce stress: relationships, employment, obligations, financial

Fun: friends, movies, music, dancing, easy travel, vacations, reading, art

Supportive networks: family, social, spiritual, support groups

get plenty of sleep

Sweats from hot tubs and saunas

Mbuttage

Consider other toxins:

mercury from dental amalgams and fish

carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and formaldehyde from faulty stoves and furnaces, wood, coal, and natural gas, or local vehicle traffic My wife and I replaced our three 50-year old gas furnaces with a hot water baseboard system with its furnace in the garage, venting through its own chimney.

household pesticides

fluoride in drinking water or toothpaste

toxic molds in home or work space

formaldehyde from dark wines and liquors, tobacco and wood smoke, degradation of pectins in fruits and vegetables by bacteria in the colon, new furniture, drapes, carpets, particleboard, new mobile homes and buildings, cleansers, personal care products

Dr. John McDougall gives good advice on using an elimination diet for a few weeks to see if you have such common food allergies as milk, egg, wheat, soy, corn, peanut, nuts

make sure you don't have untreated dental infections

check for candida yeast infections

check for allergies to plants, dust mites, and so on

My wife has benefited enormously, treating her diabetic neuropathy with 48 sessions of hyperbaric oxygen therapy -- about $ 250 each.

I hope this helps you consider many safe options.

You may call me or email me.

Dark wines and liquors, as well as aspartame, provide similar levels of methanol, above 100 mg daily, for long-term heavy users, 2 L daily, about 6 cans.

Methanol is inevitably largely turned into formaldehyde, and thence largely into formic acid. It is the major cause of the dreaded symptoms of "next morning" hangover.

Fully 11% of aspartame is methanol -- 1,120 mg aspartame in 2 L diet soda, almost six 12-oz cans, gives 123 mg methanol (wood alcohol). If 30% of the methanol is turned into formaldehyde, the amount of formaldehyde, 37 mg, is 18.5 times the USA EPA limit for daily formaldehyde in drinking water, 2.0 mg in 2 L average daily drinking water,

185 times the New Jersey limit, 615 times the California and Maine limits.
