Not terribly savvy re: IM, so I will respond here. Thank you for the information. I do not eat or drink anything with aspertame and haven't unless accidently in many years. Terrible stuff. I prefer stevia or other natural alternatives. I've been on all kinds of supplements for years and bio-identical hormone replacement therapy for my thyroid, etc. Will be adding L-Carnitine soon and working up to 3 grams per day along with Gensing, NADH, and light therapy. I may try accupuncture, but want to try adding these other things my doctor recommended first. She has me on Glutathione/ATP 1 cc with 2 ML B-12 IM once a week. I have taken heavy duty multiple vitamins, minerals, and supplements for years that include all of the B vitamins, fish oil, calcium, magnesium, zinc, CoQ10, Ginkgo Biloba, etc. My standard diet has consisted of lean protiens, nuts, legumes, beans, fresh or frozen (no sauces) vegies and fruit. Dairy is limited to organic milk on my steel cut oatmeal and the occasional (rare) icecream.

I have many food allergies so my dietary restrictions are not all voluntary, but I have learned to enjoy the benefits of healthy eating. In fact, I've eaten this way for so long now that the occasional treat can often upset my stomach if I over indulge.

I have been told by several doctors that I may have MS, but so far for circumstances out of my control and that I won't bore you with, I have not been able to get the testing needed to confirm or deny that and several other suspects. I understand that the initial tests don't always show the markers anyway, so it's probably best for now. I'm sure God will open that door for me when it's the right time. I find I'm happiest and feel better physically when I don't worry about things over which I have no control.

Thanks again for your response.
