She has now enlisted dozens of people in many countries as part of Mission Possible International, the volunteer organization she created to expand her battle to the entire world. She decided that today would be the Aspartame Awareness Day and, in support of this noble and vital cause, I've decided to send you all some of the voluminous correspondance I receive from Betty and Shoshanna, also from Atlanta, who is assisting Betty almost round the clock. I won't try to emulate Betty's eloquent pleas and facts exposés. I will only urge you to review this material and make up your own mind on this deadly poison. Check their website and review my previous posts on this if you have not seen them at http://www.cybernaute.com/earthconcert2000/Aspartame.htm /NancieMarkle.htm and /StopNeotame.htm And please help spread the word on this plague Jean Hudon Earth Rainbow Network Coordinator http://www.cybernaute.com/earthconcert2000 Date: Fri, 27 Aug 1999 From: Betty Martini <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: August 28 is Aspartame Awareness Day worldwide: How you can help Below is one of the press releases. While there are walks and talks, and flyer distribution there are many things people can do tomorrow. Radio and TV will be broadcasting the information. Some people will distribute the brochure we produced for the day and to place Warning: NutraSweet Is A Neurotoxin, to medical buildings and hospitals. It is at http:www.dorway.com/handouts.html and titled "NutraSweet Disease Is A Worldwide Plague". We want people made aware that aspartame is also a genetically engineered product, and that was never made known to the people since it was approved in l981. We hope everyone will do something tomorrow - notify a restaurant or manufacturer with a flyer, notify a newsgroup how to get the brochure - send brochures to family and friends, etc. If you are a writer get the info to the public and the www.dorway.com web site. If you have an interest in some of the horrors aspartame causes, then get information to that segment. For instance, aspartame blinds, mimics MS, is escalating Alzheimers and precipitates diabetes. It triggers brain tumors, testicular tumors, ovarian and uterine tumors, pancreatic tumors and is a seizure triggering drug that interacts with other drugs and changes brain chemistry. Because of serotonin depletion it triggers rage, manic depression, suicidal tendencies and organizations dealing with mental disease and crime should also be notified. Aspartame is also a teratogen and triggers birth defects and can cause mental retardation if the baby survives and is PKU. In Atlanta we notified schools that aspartame destroys minds, reduces intelligence and triggers disruptive behavior. If anyone wants a copy of a letter sent to the schools on the addiction problem please email me. Also, we are asking for petitions to be signed for recall and to be mailed to me. Bryant Holman has bumper stickers that say aspartame kills and has two versions of the petition. You can get in touch with him at [EMAIL PROTECTED] He has the Aspartame Support Group, one of two on line for the victims of Aspartame Disease. Thank you, one and all, Betty Martini, Mission Possible International Standard Press Release follows: For Immediate Release: Aspartame Awareness Day, August 28 Contact Betty Martini: 770-242-2599 Reminder to ALL Media with Additional Information The first NutraSweet Detoxification Center has been set up by Dr. Paula Rhodes, and she will also be at Return to Eden on 8/28 to speak to the press. August 28 is Aspartame Awareness Day, an initiative to inform consumers throughout the world of the deadly effects of this chemical sweetener sold as NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the chemical poison even though in lab tests it triggered seizures, tumors and death in animals fed aspartame. FDA's own audit, the Bressler Report also posted on www.dorway.com revealed brain, mammary, testicular, pancreatic, uterine and ovarian tumors. An FDA report of 10,000 consumer complaints listed 92 symptoms from headaches to impotence and death. Get it from an email addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED], otherwise you need a Congressman. Diet drinks is the #1 source on the FDA report. Renowned H. J. Roberts, M.D., has declared Aspartame Disease a world plague affecting millions of consumers in 100 countries of the world, and ready to publish a 700 page medical text on the epidemic. Dr. Roberts will be speaking in West Palm Beach on the 28th after a 10:00 A.M. walk to Meyer Auditorium. Other events, walks, talks and warning flyer distribution will be held throughout the US and other countries of the world. The public needs the facts which have been concealed by a smoke screen of government disclaimers and cover ups by corporate interests. Come to Return to Eden, organic food market at Cheshire Bridge and LaVista in Atlanta, Sat, August 28, 1:00 P.M. for facts and free literature that may save your life.

"We have two strains of bacteria- one is traditionally modified and one is genetically modified," said one Monsanto source. "It's got a modified enzyme. It has one amino acid different." A Monsanto spokeswoman confirmed that aspartame for the US market is often made using genetic engineering. But sweetener supplied to British food producers is not. However, consumer groups say it is likely that some low-calorie products containing genetically engineered aspartame have been imported into Britain. "Increasingly, chemical companies are using genetically engineered bacteria in their manufacturing process without telling the public," said Dr Erik Millstone, of the Science Policy Research Unit at Sussex University, and a member of the National Food Alliance. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Date: Wed, 25 Aug 1999 From: Betty Martini <[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Admission aspartame cannot be heated even though FDA granted approval for baking in l993 and blanket approval in l996!

I decided to go to the enemy to learn to protect myself family. Here's what I found at the FDA site: http://vm.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/eafus.html - a wonderful complete database of food additives/toxins (clip) When the additive is used in a sugar substitute for table use, its label shall bear instructions not to use in cooking or baking. Here is an admission that they know that high temperatures changes the nature of the substance. The problem is, of course, that it changes at 86 degrees, so, leave your diet pop out in the sun for awhile and find out what poison is really all about! David - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - AND HERE ARE A FEW EXCERPTS FROM ANOTHER RECENT EMAIL FROM BETTY MARTINI ABOUT WHY THERE IS A GENERAL PUBLIC PANIC OVER ASPARTAME... The approval of Aspartame by the FDA: "The crime of the century!" (CLIP) In Dr. Roberts first press conference he said if something wasn't done then in 5 or 10 years we would have a world plague. Its quoted in his first book published in l990, Aspartame (Nutrasweet) Is It Safe? , Charles Press, the last page. Now you can welcome Aspartame Disease, probably destined to be one of the largest epidemics in world history. We're talking about 200 million people consuming a deadly neurotoxin, a deadly addictive drug that interacts with other drugs including monamine oxidase inhibitors, alpha-methyldopa and L-dihydroxphenylalanine. We're talking about a drug that changes brain chemistry and changes the dopamine level of the brain. Dr. Roberts has brought out some of the drug interactions in his book Aspartame (NutraSweet) Is It Safe? He says that the drugs include Coumadin, phenytoin (Dilantin), antidepressants, propranolol (Inderal), methyldopa (Aldomet), insulin and lidocaine (Xylocaine). Such an influence may be manifested as either reduced or excessive drug activity. Dr. Roberts mentions in a chapter on Parkinsonism of impaired levodopa action by amino acids and protein. A few of many possible mechanismsof drug interactions: * Alteration of the blood proteins to which drugs attach. * Altered receptors on the membranes of cell walls. * Interference with drug transport across the blood-brain barrier. * Existing metabolic disturbances and impaired kidney function in the elderly that enhance their vulnerability to chemicals and drugs (Weber l986). * An interaction between the methanol component of aspartame and various ethanol-related compounds. The latter include the hypoglycemic sulfonylureas (used for treating diabetes), metronidazole (an antibacterial drug), allopurinol (used in the treatment of gout), and disulfiram (Antabuse) taken as maintenance prophylaxis by alcoholic patients. Aspartame actually had a drug application before it was withdrawn to be marketed as an additive which would require no safety monitoring. Doctors and scientists and victims have been screaming at the FDA ever since aspartame was approved. It caused 3 Congressional hearings but Monsanto lobbying and influence was just too powerful to get it off the market. Then when people started going blind the Community Nutrition Institute petitioned the FDA to ban aspartame to save people from blindness. I call the FDA, Monsanto's Washington Branch Office. Their actions speak for themselves, they cared more for Monsanto then the people. And with all this screaming, complaints and nasty letters to the FDA so that they know beyond a shadow of a doubt that aspartame is poison, what do they do? In l996, Dr. David Kessler, FDA Commissioner grants blanket approval for a deadly drug to be used like sugar. And Pape of the National Yogurt Association petitions the FDA to allow aspartame in yogurt without it being labeled, absolutely against the labeling law which requires a PKU warning. I can understand why Mr. Pape doesn't want it labeled. He knows aspartame (NutraSweet/Equal/Spoonful) has a bad name because he was counsel for the National Soft Drink Association. My, my, my what a small world! And did the FDA allow it? Thats one of the 26 questions too, they won't answer! Then Dr. Kessler amid allegations he padded his expense account resigned. He had completed his mission - to accomplish what Monsanto had asked of him. And he did it with full knowledge that aspartame is a literal deadly poison. As Dr. Blaylock says in a lecture on www.dorway.com, reactions to aspartame are not allergic, but toxic like arsenic and cyanide! Reading the history of the approval of this neurotoxin is like something out of the twilight zone. How did they get away with it? The studies were the target of an indictment for fraud that was not carried out when two U.S. Prosecutors went to work for the law firm defending the case, and let the statute of limitations expire. When the District Attorney goes to work for the godfather expect acquittal. Still the FDA would not approve it for 16 years, even when President Reagan, a friend of Rumsfeld and Searle, demanded the FDA do so. So President Reagan fired the FDA Commissioner and appointed Dr. Arthur Hull Hayes to do the deadly dead. There was so much opposition a Board of Inquiry was set up that said not to approve aspartame because it triggers brain tumors. Dr. Hayes over-ruled his own Board of Inquiry and went to work for the PR firm of the manufacturer, sort of like an art director going to work for a pig farm. It is rumored that he was paid $1000.00 a day. You know what an FDA Commissioner does in a PR firm? He sends postcards home from Bermuda! He has refused to speak to the press ever since including when Dr. John Olney made world news, and was on 60 Minutes about the brain tumor/ aspartame connection. Dr. Olney is a world famous researcher and founded the field of neuroscience known as excitotoxicity. He has probably received 300 world awards. He was the physician who prevented baby food companies from putting MSG in baby food. And what did the FDA do? They ran to the rescue of Monsanto, their dear loyal friend! Read the secret trade information on www.dorway.com where the original manufacturer, Searle (Monsanto bought them in l985) admitted they had to consider complete conversion to DKP (the brain tumor agent) and if the FDA found out they wouldn't approve it. How's that for premeditated murder - full knowledge that when they marketed aspartame it would break down to a brain tumor agent and give the consumer public brain tumors. Oh, the FDA says they knew about the DKP. Aspartame was fed to rats and rats developed brain tumors. Yet the FDA now refuses to admit aspartame triggers brain tumors. You know when it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, waddles like a duck, hangs around with other ducks, and people call it a duck, there is a good reason to believe it is a duck. Aspartame breaks down to a brain tumor agent, fed to rats triggered brain tumors, and fed to the consumer public triggered the same brain tumor as in the rats. Now FDA wants to call it an anecdote rather than a duck! I call it the crime of the century! I wept when Kelli Motluck, heavy user of aspartame had one of those astrocytomas converted to glioblastomas. She had a wonderful husband and child. She told me "I want to live, I want to live, I want to live, but if I die you be sure to let the world know what Monsanto did to me." And I wept when Cyndi Veth died too, so very young. I weep every time these youngsters die from aspartame triggered brain tumors. (clip) In a nutshell aspartame destroys the central nervous system, the brain, the optic nerve and the immune system and ravages every organ in the body. It triggers an irregular heart rhythm and physicians not realizing aspartame is a drug medicates these patients and many times they can go into complete heart block or die of myocardial infarction. See Dr. Roberts position paper, Aspartame and Cardiac Symptoms. It is a teratogen and can destroy the fetus or trigger birth defects. There is no warning for pregnancy, and you don't know if the baby is PKU until its born, so if it survives it will probably be mentally retarded as the phenylalanine concentrates in the placenta. See Dr. Elsas testimony before congress and Dr. Roberts position paper on aspartame and pregnancy. You just couldn't make a better poison. In fact, according to Alex Constantine in his article NutraPoison, he says aspartame was listed with the pentagon in an inventory of prospective biochemical warfare weapons submitted to Congress. Perhaps the physician who said it the best was Dr. James Bowen who told the FDA many years ago that aspartame was mass poisoning of the American public and more than 70 countries of the world. And he has Lou Gehrigs disease he says was triggered by aspartame. Dr. Woodrow Monte said on CBN recently that the reason aspartame causes so many problems (symptoms and diseases) is that it effects every part of the body! Aspartame Disease is a crime against humanity that didn't have to be. The coverup is unbelievable. Even with CNN doing their hoax bit and AP and Time Magazine involved, it only got the information to more people. Lauran Neergaard who wrote the AP article said to me: "But we didn't use your name?" No, they didn't or the web site that would have given the correct information and government documents. They knew all along it was me, were on the web site, knew it was the truth, and told a lie. CNN ran the hoax bit twice. They should know it didn't work the first tme and it didn't work the second time either. By golly, its a plague, and when Dr. Roberts new medical text on the world plague of Aspartame Disease is published soon it will no doubt make more world news. Better panic than death, and I can tell you we have literally jerked many victims from the jaws of death by giving them the facts instead of propaganda like Monsanto, FDA and CDC, and the trade organizations that take money from Monsanto and endorse their product. Mission Possible operations (a worldwide volunteer force) in most states and in many countries of the world are getting the truth to the people. You can't put out the fire. The only thing you can do is help get it removed from the marketplace because we will. Monsanto knows that if aspartame is recalled people will wake up well from all kinds of horrible medical problems, from joint pain (caused by hardens of the synovial fluids by aspartame) to seizures. They know they have to do something to stop this, so their solution is to get an even more potent aspartame approved, Neotame. I have told the FDA the world now knows and if they approve they are going to start a war. Disability and death are not acceptable costs of business. Attorneys say tobacco will pale against aspartame. This is the greatest scandal in U.S. History, the mass poisoning of the consumer public in 100 countries of the world.

Sent to PLANETNEWS: Dear Melissa, The support groups, and Mission Possible International strive to alert everyone on planet earth that aspartame kills and must be recalled! Now they're mixing it with sugar, unlabeled, and its seeping like sewage into our food supply with equal toxic effects. It will take Congressional action to remove the poison, because the FDA sleeps with Monsanto and is their branch office in D.C. Three Congressional hearings disclosed rivers of damning evidence, but Monsanto lobbying neutralized them. Trade data from NutraSweet admitting aspartame breaks down into DKP, a brain tumor agent was presented. The choice of protecting citizens or taking money is always a no brainer. When the bovine growth hormone issue was discussed only one congressman refused contributions. So consider that Monsanto and their buddies sleep with the FDA, own Congress, and hire the media: but they don't control US. This is a people-to-people crusade and your voice, excitement, zeal and unstoppable persistence are decisive. It's a citizen's problem and must be a citizen's project. It either has to end in Congress or in the courts! 1,000 lawsuits should get Monsanto's attention. They're trying to sell the NutraSweet Co. as they know the lawsuits are coming. They are being hit from every angle. The United Kingdom is going after their genetic frankenfoods. The press is becoming aware and articles are being written, TV exposes are shown and more books written to warn the world. Soon it will be an unstoppable avalanche. We do this around the clock. What hurts most is the millions affected, and aspartame has more victims than many wars. Alzheimers is now the 4th cause of adult death and nursing homes can't be built fast enough to hold the victims. Diabetes tripled. MS and lupus are rampant. Aspartame causes divorce, disease, agony, outlandish medical expense, unnecessary diagnostics, miscarriages, birth defects, infertility, tumors, mental impairment, rage and crime ..... the list is endless, but the FDA counted 92 symptoms including DEATH! Pilots lose sight, mental stability, their occupations, and some their very lives. Passengers, planes and pilots have lower priority to our government agencies than the business interests of Monsanto, greatest poisoner on the planet, and I have thousands of case histories to back up these accusations, and our government has more! Simply put: Dollars before people! Aspartame Awareness Day is going to help. At this point, I'm asking Bryant to put the recall petition on the lists so it can be printed out and given to every health food store we come in contact with. Have them sent to me. One million signatures will get their attention. As Dr. Bowen who has Lou Gehrigs Disease from aspartame told the FDA - its mass poisoning! Congress and the Justice Department must now disregard Monsanto's power (with their checkbook) and do its job. Their families can lose their life just as much as ours from their poison. There is nothing any stronger than consumer power in action. We also have to make the restaurants, grocery stores and manufacturers responsible. I know its a big job, but after years I can now see the finish line. With Dr. Roberts new medical text on the world plague, the world should target those responsible to solve the problem who have failed in their duties. And in the end, one more book will have to be written: A Crime Against Humanity: The Aspartame Story! And then all trade organizations who made themselves prostitutes will also be exposed. FDA, CDC, FAA, Justice Department - Are you listening? Betty Martini, Mission Possible International - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - From: Betty Martini <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> A Wall Street Journal article (6/11/99) stated that children were treated at a hospital in northern Belgium for symptoms including headaches, stomach aches and diarrhea after drinking Coke at school. The children told hospital officials that the Coke gave a burning sensation to the tongue. Headache is #1 on the FDA report of 92 symptoms, diarrhea #7 and abdominal pain and cramps #5. The report is by most frequent occurrence and these symptoms are notorious. The burning tongue is caused by a combination of things, the wood alcohol converts to formaldehyde and then formic acid which burns the tongue. It is also caused by neuropathy triggered by aspartame. Diet drinks sat in 120 degree Arabian sun in the Persian Gulf for as long as 8 weeks at a time and the troops drank them all day. At 86 degrees according to the protest of the National Soft Drink Association (www.dorway.com) aspartame breaks down. ( It becomes a witches brew of toxins.) An experiment by Jennifer Cohen with Winston Laboratory in New Jersey analyzing Diet Coke in room temperature, in an incubator and in the fridge revealed that aspartame breaks down to formaldehyde and DKP (a brain tumor agent) EVEN IN THE FRIDGE. Report on www.dorway.com Symptoms of aspartame are identical to symptoms of Desert Storm Syndrome and on 60 Minutes on this subject someone in the military admitted they were unable to understand why the troops complained of this "burning tongue". A recent study on aspartame in Barcelona showed formaldehyde accumulates in the cells and damages DNA with 50% toxicity in the liver and substantial amounts in the kidneys, adipose tissue, retina and brain. A recent Reuters article detailed that Desert Storm Syndrome had to do with the genes. This genetic change reported in this study further implicates aspartame in this Syndrome. Those in the states were told not to send anything to the troops with sugar. For a map of DORway and the FDA report of 92 symptoms email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with nothing in message text or subject line. The burning tongue issue is notorious with aspartame and is constantly discussed on the support groups on line for victims of Aspartame Disease, the Aspartame One List and Aspartame Survivors International. Neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock, M.D., in a lecture on www.dorway.com says the reactions to aspartame are not allergic but toxic in nature like arsenic and cyanide. We're talking about a chemical poison. H. J. Roberts, M.D., has now declared Aspartame Disease to be a world epidemic and is in the process of publishing a medical text on the plague. Ermelle Martinez, Mission Possible Los Angeles, and a science teacher, reported that a student having a reaction to Coke called the company asking if aspartame was also in regular Coke. She was asked what city and zip code she was calling from. When the student said L.A. Coke hung up on her. This is very troublesome amid rumors that aspartame is being mixed with sugar and is being added to regular drinks. It is already in Tab and Fresca. Aspartame is not a diet product but a drug that makes you crave carbohydrates. See protest of NSDA. It also interacts with other drugs and changes brain chemistry. Industry and trade organizations are battling back on the aspartame issue because of an email that made world news having to do with a World Environmental Conference and a spokeswoman for the EPA mentioning an epidemic of MS and Lupus. Nancy Markle had actually picked up a post I had written and published it under her name, where I said: "I'm here to lecture on MS and lupus and identify the toxin as NutraSweet." You can see the industry influence when reporters mention a study on headaches at Duke, sometimes used to show an independent study. It was actually done in the Searle Center (original manufacturer - Monsanto bought them in l985), and funded by Monsanto. Russell Blaylock, M.D., explains in an interview on Mission Possible Radio (audio and transcript on www.dorway.com) how studies are fixed. He is the author of Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills ( 1 800 - 643-2665). Further Ralph Walton, M.D., discussed on 60 Minutes in Dec, l996 that research into peer reviewed studies showed that almost 100% of independent studies not funded by industry show problems with aspartame. This research is now on www.dorway.com This 60 Minutes presentation was when famed researcher Dr. John Olney who founded the field of neuroscience known as excitotoxicity made world news over the aspartame/brain tumor issue. Today to confirm the information in the Nancy Markle post all one has to do is go to http://www.dorway.com/nomarkle.html There is even information on why the EPA did not tell the truth on the World Environmental Conference as well as the above mentioned Barcelona study. Aspartame destroys the central nervous system and mimics MS, and posted is Dr. H. J. Roberts position paper MS or Aspartame Disease. With regard to lupus aspartame turns your immune system against your body. The formaldehyde embalms the proteins and makes them strange to the immune system. The immune system attacks your own body because it has your own denatured proteins as an antigen. This then generates the false information fed into the immune system that your own proteins are to be attacked. Than any other insults, mental, physical or immunological can stimulate the immune Attack - LUPUS! It is sickening that some media influenced by industry is still trying to play this down as a hoax. Some had even been on the www.dorway.com web site prior to publishing. A post from World famous toxicologist Dr. George Schwartz tells the NutraSweet team what he thinks of their propaganda, and a journal by Dr. Woodrow Monte sets the matter straight on Monsanto's misinformation on the aspartame methanol issue. This is no hoax - it is the Crime of the Century! On June 7 the Wall Street Journal also played down the aspartame issue. Marilyn Chase who wrote the issue still has not retracted the comments even though she was given the web site with confirmation and WSJ received a letter directly from Dr. H. J. Roberts. The two support groups on line were set up from calls coming in from all over the world from the victims. They have stopped the assault and symptoms continue to disappear. To fuel this issue further, breast implant patients have also reported MS and lupus, and Dr. Roberts has just released a book on Aspartame Disease in Breast Implant patients discussing whether systemic symptoms reported were really due to Aspartame Disease. ( 1 800 - 814-9800 ). On 5/15/99 a CBS News Report discussed 34 children who became ill from Bazooka gum found in a school yard. The symptoms were the same headaches and stomach aches as reported with Coke and Bazooka contains aspartame. They were written to years ago but refuse to remove it or answer correspondence. It is particularly serious in gum because aspartame is a drug with small molecules, works like nitroglycerin, goes through saliva straight to the brain. Some have had a grand mal seizure on one piece of sugarfree gum. Monsanto must be coming under extreme pressure. They have just hired the former acting FDA Commissioner, Dr. Michael Friedman to their Searle office, div of Monsanto. Dr. Friedman has been receiving from Mission Possible the aspartame complaints for years. He has never responded to an email, and the FDA continues to refuse to answer 26 questions on aspartame given to them by former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich. FDA and Monsanto can now remove the revolving door and build a bridge to take care of the traffic. FDA remains Monsanto's Washington Branch office! It's time to set the matter straight. Monsanto, FDA, Coke and Pepsi must take responsibility for this plague of Aspartame Disease. With operations of Mission Possible all over the US and many countries warning all consumers off this neurotoxin the coverup has been exposed. www.dorway.com contains even the Bressler Report, the FDA's own audit of the horrors that were triggered by aspartame on original studies including brain tumors to atrophied testes and grand mal seizures. The damning CDC investigation is also listed. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - IMPORTANT!! - LAST MINUTE ADDITION: Date: Fri, 27 Aug 1999 From: grace <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: meditation help Dear Jean I am contacting all the people I know to help me with a crisis that's happening down my end of the world (Australia). The Australian defence force is currently readying itself to go into EAST TIMOR (an island near Indonesia) with the aim of restoring peace there. The people in East Timor are supposed to vote on Monday for their INDEPENDENCE from Indonesia but the Indonesians are against this so they have gone in with their militia to sabotage the vote by using violence. People are being killed. The killing has been going on throughout the past decade and so this vote was a step in progressing towards an harmonious existence for the people in Timor. I am asking everyone I know to help me in meditations over the week-end for BALANCE to be restored in East Timor so the vote can proceed and the killing can stop. I will be meditating at 10 am and 10 pm (8:30 pm and 8:30 am Boston time) daily over the next 4 days. I would be greatly appreciative if you could join us in this meditation and pass this message onto others who might feel drawn to participate.
