I&amp;#39;m not sure what would be received positively by people as far as convincing them of the possibility of brain tumors, etc. from consuming artificial sweeteners. Sometimes we think - &amp;quot;oh it&amp;#39;ll never happen to me&amp;quot; - denial! I do know that there could&amp;#39;ve been other sources of where my tumor came from, but from what I&amp;#39;ve read I know it&amp;#39;s a big possibility to be affected this way, for anyone, and at this point it is worth making the change. We use Stevia for sweetener. Sparkling water substitutes for pop, etc. We&amp;#39;ve changed our diet quite a bit, and have also added supplements. Brain surgery is very difficult to recover from! I thank God for His provision with this second surgery with the knowledge of eating healthy foods, as well as the use of some supplements. It was an absolute turn around from the difficulty I had with the first surgery, and I truly believe it had to do with being healthier and having the nutritional value that my body needed and God provides. My neurosurgeon (he&amp;#39;s been in the business for at least 40 years!) thought my recovery was a miracle! Hope this might help to share with family.</title><pubDate>Thu, 04 Aug 2011 17:04:27 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>seraphinaw</dc:creator><description>&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Bradley Hand ITC;font-size:medium;"&gt;Good Morning!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I am friends with the waitress and her brother is the owner. They cook special for me...but I have to wait maybe 30 minutes since they may have a rush of other cooking to do and it take time to do my food right. They use my pan and I made 20 changes until I finally got it to where I could eat it ok...I became allergic to onions etc. They call it the Wendy special after my name. Anyone who needs a gluten free meal can order it. The red peppers come out of a jar. Just tell them you will wait. I bring a book so it doesn&amp;#39;t matter if I have to wait. I ordered no MSG tonight on my son&amp;#39;s order. Praise them and thank them...tell them it will increase business that you are getting a special order. I hope they will adapt their food to you. Just say you can&amp;#39;t eat it if it has peppers...

Michael Fox appeared before Congress asking that stem cell research go forward for his disease and there was much made that it conflicted with Christian views by the right as espoused by then President George Bush, which was chastized by the left. I do feel there is a need for proper research to be done in this area as people who suffer disease from birth defects probably created by bad medicine can have a chance in this life. I feel it is barbaric the way cancer patients are treated. To my knowledge this technique has been used for over 50 years and the only treatments FDA recognizes and the ones which must be paid by insurance companies. I am a strong believer in alternative medicine and take full responsibility for my health. When there is a time I need medical treatment, I would like to think in our great Country, we would be given the most up-to-date treatment available and not one based soley on profit motive. In addition, I feel it is a sad indictment of the way Colleges and Universities are paid by the Research they do for the drug companies, who in turn control what is taught in med school, by donations made. I think it is a high probability that very little is taught about healthy living. Finally, I do not trust anyone who doesn&amp;#39;t have higher motives to follow in their research. Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate honest assessment.</title><pubDate>Thu, 30 Dec 2010 03:24:44 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>geralddowell</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Highlander: I guess my point was rhetorical and was based on the hublah that was raised when the arguement first started. Michael Fox appeared before Congress asking that stem cell research go forward for his disease and there was much made that it conflicted with Christian views by the right as espoused by then President George Bush, which was chastized by the left. I do feel there is a need for proper research to&amp;nbsp;be done in this area as people who suffer disease from birth defects probably created by bad medicine can have a chance in this life. I feel it is barbaric the way cancer patients are treated. To my knowledge this technique has been used for over 50 years and the only treatments FDA recognizes and the ones which must be paid by insurance companies. I am a strong believer in alternative medicine and take full responsibility for my health. When there is a time I need medical treatment, I would like to think in our great Country, we would be given the most up-to-date treatment available and not one based soley on profit motive. In addition, I feel it is a sad indictment of the way Colleges and Universities are paid by the Research they do for the drug companies, who in turn control what is taught in med school, by donations made. &amp;nbsp;I think it is a high probability that very little is taught about healthy living. Finally, I do not trust anyone who doesn&amp;#39;t have higher motives to follow in their research. Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate honest assessment.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><link>https://articles.mercola.com:443/members/highlander11/comments/default.aspx</link><title>Thanks so much for your humorous comments!
