| Through The Shadows The multi-media memoir by acclaimed filmmaker and award-winning poet, Cori Brackett |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "Through the Shadows (A Journey Through Illness and Discovery) should interest more than just the many victims of aspartame poisoning as a courageous, successful effort to cure oneself without the drugs of the medical establishment". |

| Today, I love life and celebrate every moment. I understand the expansive power of love and am devoted to helping individuals empower themselves through knowledge, wisdom and personal choice. Discovering the ability to listen to one's own body as well as gaining access to individual intuition, is what I believe, ultimately, can create amazing healing effects within the body and the spirit. After having been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2002, I found myself falling into a deep pit of doctor's appointments and medications. |

Even so, I continued to get worse. Eventually, I found myself in a wheelchair with slurred speech and double vision. Slowly, I learned to maintain the balancing act between pushing myself to get better and having the patience to accept my then-current limitations. Hungry for knowledge and a clue to my symptoms, I stumbled upon some information linking aspartame to ms-like symptoms. As I had been a fairly heavy consumer of aspartame and aspartame-containing products (an average of a six-pack/day of diet soda for twenty years) I thought there might be something to this and proceeded to investigate. What resulted from my investigation was the seering and eye-opening documentary, Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World, its sequel, Sweet Remedy: The World Reacts and my multi-media memoir, Through the Shadows. Today, I live a happy, healthy and authentic life and enjoy speaking to groups around the country, helping them envision a better world as well as providing the tools needed to discover that better life. Cori's writing has appeared in journals such as The Mississippi Review, Thought Magazine and HunterGatheress, as well as in magazines, such as Namaste and Organic Lifestyle. She holds an MFA in Creative Writing from The University of Arizona. |

| What prompted Cori Brackett to make "Sweet Misery"? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Readers of this "multi-media memoir" get a more detailed insight into how Cori Brackett connected aspartame to her illness and how it affected her. She also connects us intimately to the process of recovery. An award-winning, published poet with an MFA in Creative Writing, Cori tells this story in "Through the Shadows", an illustrated chapbook of combined poetry and prose, accompanied by a spoken-word audio CD recording. To experience "Through the Shadows", readers are asked to become simultaneous listeners to find the place from which the sound of words and their overall imagery become integrated. The effect of this literary bombardment of the senses, is to experience the most personal battle of the sensory-deprived soul. On one level, "Through the Shadows" is a scathing indictment of allopathic medicine. On another, it is a rare, vivid glimpse into a life affected not just by one poison, but by a root philosophy that threatens everyone. While speaking to her past, Cori lays before us the very early discoveries of a world slowly losing its authenticity and sets light to the grotesque manifestation this world has become. Ultimately, a resolution of joy and hope proves to be surprisingly simple. |

| Why a multi-media memoir? A message from Cori: Through the challenges of severe illness, I was given a tremendous gift - that of a much fuller understanding of humanity, what it means to be alive and an ability to appreciate the exquisite beauty to be found in the most mundane of moments. I figured out how to believe in myself and the possiblity recovery, of living life to the fullest every single day. I want to share this gift with you now, and in order help you to discover your own Power of Mind, I had to find a way of providing you with the sensory quiet and isolation that I experienced during my challenge toward wellness. Since most poetry and memoir is rather quiet, I knew I would need to take a different approach to achieve the same effect. After some experimentation with form, I realized that the best way that I could do this was to flood your senses with as much input as possible, thereby simulating the lack of that input in a healthy person. Through the Shadows is, therefore, a literary "experience". I present this to you now with the joy of knowing that you can safely take this journey experientially and move toward an ever-increasing understanding of the wonders of life. |

| Sample from Downpour | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Alone and peanuts - tan and harmless - can bring death to visit, to stay, so insulting, so meaningless. Suddenly, the backyard steps become impossible, while two o'clock reruns are my friend, amazing, my life falling apart in complete disregard, a nightmare really, hysterical. My dog, my slobbering, lovely dog, tears easily into the skin of my arm after the peanuts are gone, his hunger, an ancient need. I have to look at death differently now, because it lives so close, so real, almost happening inside my body, almost my neighbor, creeping closer - death's breath heavy in my ear - blocking me from caring too much. I feed another belly with prescription drugs, an annoyance, denial, how easy to be caught searching for authority - a warm, sterile body telling me answers, what I need to believe. How frightening to take the giant leap off of the building of allopathic medicine, the staunch, formidable structure of granite, unwilling to budge. The search for help fades with the notepad left out in the sun. What's left? Questions, answers. Understanding disease tames the beast hiding under the kitchen table. I begin to remember riding my bike on a sunny day, making my own bed, growing radishes in the autumn season. Not only do I want these back, I need them -- the mundane bursts forth as beautiful and attainable until day by impossible day, I notice tiny victories: standing a little longer, finding again the ability to tie my shoe. I hold no wisdom, but I believe in myself as I once defined myself - automatically, without thought. That first, impossible, tentative step betrays hope, giving birth to a second until I'm walking everywhere. We try to hand over the term authority to those who cry the loudest, even at the cost of our own lives. Do not listen to me. The one, alone, who you must hear, who will tell you the truth, is you, rattling softly inside. |

| The Importance of the Mind/Body Connection A Positive Attitude is not simply a passive feel-good experience. Acclaimed author of Molecules of Emotion and internationally renowned pharmacologist, Dr. Candace Pert reminds us of the integration of these two aspects of ourselves. Her term, bodymind, emphasizes this connection. When we think about healing, we often forget how both of these aspects affect each other. Cori demonstrates in Through the Shadows, how the belief and hope provided by such an attitude can spark thoughts into action, and that a steadfast focus on making the impossible possible can move mountains! Through her beautiful and very personal writing, she reminds us all that tomorrow can be a better day. It's about finding peace within yourself. |

| Sample from The Antelope | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ...How can we expect to be trapped during our lives while the yearbook picture boasts wrestling champ, pep club president, the ultimate perfection in shining white teeth? The people in those photographs do not exist, lost dreams filtering through a sleepless terrain like the girl who got pregnant in eleventh grade. What if she were you? Would you have sympathy, then, for the antelope? Would you remember... the mesmerizing blue of a summer lake in the desert, the stillness of a car's headlights... |
