I find the whole "cleanse" craze a bit excessive, actually. It seems to me that it's wise to just eat a variety of food in moderation and leave it at that. (Unless one has specific allergies and that kind of thing.)<br /><br />As for medication, well, it's there for a reason, right? But it's always helpful to review it all with your doctors periodically. Maybe it really would be possible to wean from some of it with their supervision.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7192718134910479930.post-26622495255881506632015-07-15T09:58:22.496+02:002015-07-15T09:58:22.496+02:00There are no ways back, only ways forward, I think...There are no ways back, only ways forward, I think.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112462990202280587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7192718134910479930.post-53906657088372856722015-07-13T22:30:21.474+02:002015-07-13T22:30:21.474+02:00(o)(o)Fire Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13518190677399410354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7192718134910479930.post-38712907749539344462015-07-13T17:42:14.100+02:002015-07-13T17:42:14.100+02:00I don't really subscribe to any particular die...I don't really subscribe to any particular diet, except that I haven't eaten red meat in 45 years. I try to eat things that have not had all the real nutrition processed out of it, and all the fake flavors processed in. We each have our own very specific body chemistries, so what works for some won't always work for others. I understand your desire to want to purify yourself away from the medicine regime. I also really appreciate your friend shaking her head "no." Now I am wondering what your favorite, most delicious and nutritious meal is.

Previous to that I had frequent headaches, severe food and environmental allergies, debilitating depression, bulimia and anorexia. All foods began to taste better to me when I stopped eating sugar. Everything tasted sweet and delicious. My life became sweet. I found that I didn't need sugar. My remaining health problems improved when I stopped eating grains about 3 years ago. <br /><br />My perception is that sugar is like alcohol. Many people can enjoy alcohol, while others suffer and die from alcoholism. There is no reason for most people to stop eating sugar or drinking alcohol, when they bring so much joy and pleasure to life but for some of us, reasonably good health depends upon completely staying away from those foods.<br /><br />I don't have a juicer and live on very little money, and I eat nothing except fish and other seafood, generous amounts of a wide variety of vegetables with olive oil and coconut oil and salt, and occasional beef, pork, chicken, and turkey. I couldn't enjoy food more than I do. I love food! It brings me joy and pleasure!<br /><br />We all have to find what works for us and our body chemistry. <br /><br />Ms. Moon -- I wish I could eat ice cream, too. I have wonderful memories of ice cream. Good to know that you enjoyed your ice cream last night! It is a sweet pleasure.<br /><br />Sending love to you, Sabine, as you find what works for you.<br />amhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09212213177713917828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7192718134910479930.post-42490080427181374432015-07-12T21:24:21.123+02:002015-07-12T21:24:21.123+02:00my husband announced he's going sugar free for...my husband announced he's going sugar free for a week. it's incredible hard to do unless one eats only protein and vegetables, dressed by nothing but a little salt and pepper and nature. sugar hides everywhere, and is the devil.<br /><br />sugar definitely doesn't help my joint pain.<br /><br />I'm glad your medical friend shook her head so kindly.37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7192718134910479930.post-69502965058726557422015-07-12T18:38:01.694+02:002015-07-12T18:38:01.694+02:00I can see the appeal - but you need to do what you...I can see the appeal - but you need to do what you can to stay as well as you can, so you can have as much fun as you can in the circumstances.

People here in the USA are constantly going on about no-sugar, no-white flour, no FLOUR (gluten- which we are all suddenly allergic to) and master cleanses and so many supplements and of course, only those rich enough to be able to afford organic kale and carrots and beets (which we must juice in our $$$ juicers) are interested in doing any of these things. <br />I just don't know. Of course we should not eat crap. I highly doubt you're eating much of any sort of crap though. <br />We go on, we muddle through. Last night I ate ice cream. It was so good.
