Here is a handy list with specific keywords in alphabetical order:

http://nancymarkle.com/symptoms

You can look for specific information within a document very easily with

a function of your browser. In Internet Explorer, on the menu, under
"Edit" there is a function for "Find (on this page)". You can also use
keystrokes - (ctrl+F). When you do that, you can type
in the keyword into a small window that appears.

[In Netscape Navigator, use Control F . To search an entire
email folder, use Control Shift F . ]

Here is an example:

On the page http://nancymarkle.com/symptoms , if I were to look up
"headache" I would get all of these results,
which are articles that mentioned that topic:

headache - http://nancymarkle.com/fibro.txt
headache - http://nancymarkle.com/roberts-headach.txt
headache - http://nancymarkle.com/wolverto.txt
headaches - http://nancymarkle.com/drlydon.txt
headaches - http://nancymarkle.com/headach.txt
headaches - http://nancymarkle.com/jwstevia.txt
headaches - http://nancymarkle.com/monte84.txt
headaches - http://nancymarkle.com/monte84.txt
headaches - http://nancymarkle.com/peerrev.html
headaches - http://nancymarkle.com/wurtman1.txt

So, taking one of these articles,
http://nancymarkle.com/roberts-headach.txt , and opening the page,
searching for the word "headache", we find this section below:

" STATISTICAL INFORMATION

Headache has been the most frequent adverse reaction to aspartame
products. It was a major complaint in one out of two persons among the
nearly 1,000 aspartame reactors in my data base. This is five times
greater than the accepted incidence of headache in the population.

Headache also predominates in the more than 10,000 persons who have
volunteered their severe reactions to the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA)"

This can then be easily copy/pasted into an e-mail or some other format.

Subject: [Aspartame Support] Suggestions for presenting our case

Here are some suggestions for presenting the case against aspartame,
especially when responding to FOA (Friends of Aspartame):

1. ALWAYS be polite (Leave the bad-mouthing to FOA).

2. NEVER attack an individual (be it David Emory or some poor soul
who doesn't know any better.)

3. Present the facts and give URLs to studies and testimonies of
victims so readers can make up their own minds.

4. In addition to the home page URL also give the URLs for the
specific pages you are referring to. Many readers, even if they do go
to the
main site, will not take the trouble to search for the article
mentioned.

5. When both HTML and text documents are available give both URLs
specifying which is which.

This attitude will create a much more friendly, and believable, message.

Together we WILL win this battle.
