WILD C,

It is ok, but trying to stay away from the horrible thing called ASPARTAME!!

What I am in hopes of is the diet vanilla pepsi to be made with splenda soon......it may take a while. So, for now I mainly dring diet rite, it's very good. Also has no caffeine.

hehehe.

I may throw that into my next Pascha basket.

Every year at Easter time (also my Lymie anny) I take my LLMD a green basket. I fill it will ginger beer, green tea, green eggs, mind gum, lime flavored bars, and any other green items I can find.

I think Diet Coke with Lemon tastes like dishwashing liquid.....The Diet Vanilla coke is slightly better, like dishwashing liquid, but with vanilla in.

One thing I have to mention about Diet Coke though, and I could never figure this out. For a few years before I discovered my CFS was in fact Lyme, when I got brainfog and/or balance problems - this would get better if I drank Diet coke. Perhaps one of the horrible chemicals has another medicinal effect.

Crud, you never know. .If you could help me figure the medicinal properties of cheetos, we might cure lyme..Certainly more pleasant than the mepron/zith routine. Much cheaper as well.

Amen! That is what Diet Coke can do. I am ashamed to say I have been guzzling some each day to clear my brain fog! (I can't get treated for my chronic Lyme right now because DYFS in NJ (Division of Youth & Family Services) is investigating my family's treatment for Chronic Lyme. I can't go to my LLMD right now. But my point, I had two illnesses my LLMD pointed me in the direction of 2 years ago - illnesses which give symptoms similar to Lyme. I had mercury poisoning and aspartame poisoning. Other than the diet coke addiction for the last 25 years, I have always eaten and drank things that were very healthy for me. But I couldn't stay away from the diet coke - until I found out I was loaded with aspartame and having problems from it.

Anyway, it does "clear the brain fog" - which I have a lot of now. But then perhaps Windex will clear it too.

Try to stay away from the Diet Coke!!

LOL Greg - Diet coke and Cheetos cure - that would be good

There's definitely something to that Diet Coke though.

Now, for something a little different, which I thought I'd mention here:

This morning I was watching the UK TV program "How clean is your house?" and the cleaner on the programme said that the BEST thing to clean your toilet with is, GET THIS - COKE!!! (probably diet won't work though, and why waste good medicine on the toilet).

We all know Coke is corrosive. Apparently, just pour some flat Coke down your toilet, leave overnight and scrub with brush - voila - sparkling!

Coke has magical properties.

I had a bad habbit of trying to fix motorcycles that should be sent to the scrap yard. You can use coke to loosen the rusty bolts. Clean carbs and pistons, and remove rust.

You can also use it to dilute the rum that you will need, after you figured out that this particular bike, really is a lost cause.
