Hi

Thank you so much for your sensible advice, of course you are

absolutely right, it is always tempting to deviate to go faster but it could be

one step forwards and two steps back!

** Dear Sheila,

I'm going to give you two very important pieces of advice here.

1) Never think that what someone else does that works for them will

perfectly suit you. Everyone is different both biologically and in

the amount of chemical and environmental assaults on their bodies.

What works for someone else could be really harmful to you.

2) Don't 'fix' it is it isn't 'broken'. This is one of the most

valuable things I've learned in life. If 2% reductions has been

working for you, stay with it. You will actually lose time on your

taper if you do the 5% and it doesn't work. It will take a while to

determine that it isn't working, then, it will take more time to

increase it again to become physically stable enough to then do the 2%

reduction.

3) Heck, let me throw in one more, lol. IMPATIENCE is the enemy.
