Re: *Coffee (Was: Adrenal book- soda- my confession. Am I really bad?

[Guest guest]

Alyce,

This is what I would do, and it is JUST an opinion.

1) I would get some good ORAGANIC coffee so you are not getting a bunch of

chemicals added to the soup. They have nice espressos and everything

available in organic.

2) If you put sugar in it, switch to STEVIA. Less aggravation on the

adrenals

DO this for awhile.

3) Then start cutting it by a third and then a half or so, with a good

ORGANIC DECAF to lower the ammont of cafeine you are getting gradually. (I

think the super fine grind goes much further and I am cheap! I let it brew

in a pot and then strain it by hand)

DECAF ESPRESSO tastes good!!!

The idea is to get rid of the extra chemicals which may be adding to the

addiction chain, and then slowly weaning off the caffeine to something which

is much healthier but does not leave you eventually feeling deprived.

Just me two bits worth,

FWIW, I just went from half-caf to full unleaded. For a good week,

it was smooth sailing, but today I have been hit with the absolute

worst snarky mood swing that I've felt in months. It makes PMS look

like a walk in the park. I'm better now than this morning, this

morning was vehicular homicide waiting to happen.

Hopefully, I'm over the worst of it.

Cheers,

Friday

Yeah, I live in the boondocks too, so I get a lot of stuff on ine.

Hey...here is a source to try: AZURE STANDARDS, My friends swears by the

company, but I have not tried them yet.

I am not sure how widely they distribute though.

But yeah..look fr online sources.
