Dear James:  What have you got against Dr. Morgan Raiford?  He was "the 
specialist" in methanol toxicity in the United States!  Many of the 
patients who went blind on NutraSweet were brought to Atlanta for him to 
diagnose.  He testified before Congress and asked that NutraSweet be banned.
He was an outstanding and renowned ophthalmologist who founded the 
Atlanta Eye Clinic.  Even back in the 60's when I worked for a group of 
11 physicians anyone who had a serious eye problem was always referred to 
Dr. Raiford.  

Most people would be glad to be warned that there is a product in 7000 
products that destroys the optic nerve, and the nervous system, and they 
would appreciate a report by someone tops in their field.  Lost of sight 
is a serious thing.  Lee Fuller came to see me some weeks ago after 
reading the article I wrote about Joyce Wilson who went blind and died on 
NutraSweet.  There were tears in her eyes when she said: "I have her same 
symptoms and I'm going blind.  How could they not warn us?  Please help 
me so I can warn others."  

It seems inconceivable that someone would get upset that people are 
warned so they can save their health and their sight.  What is your agenda
that you would not want them to have this information?  

Betty
