Hi Simon,
                Thanks for the info and the offer of help ; ) i will let you 
know how I get on.
 I am in the process of making a lot of changes to my lifestyle and diet, I 
have stopped using aspartame and I use pycnogenol, I feel a real benefit from 
it now. I would like to progress to the paleolithic diet and CS, from where I 
am just now it can only get better ( I hope!)
               Take very good care of yourself
