Guest guest Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 Liz, Thanks for the great article...very interesting! Since I put my kids on an anit-candida diet last week, I went on it as well and cut out my coffee and sugar. I had the worst withdrawal effects, but after 2 days was a much calmer person. ALso, we had a tough night last night with one child up with the flu, so I gave in this morning and had my coffee with no sugar. I can really feel the effects - shaky, heart palpitations, BUT also much more envigorated and energetic. I can feel how much my body craves that stimulant effect! I have a friend whose son has ADHD, and he obsessively smells everything (non-food items). Wonder if he is seeking this stimulant effect?

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 I didn't know that about astragulus. I think i have some in the pantry - it is supposed to be a good immune booster as well. I'll try it out one of these mornings. Miti > Miti, I am not sure it would be the same as coffee but did you > ever try astragalus for energy?

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 Miti, I am not sure it would be the same as coffee but did you ever try astragalus for energy? It works very nicely but doesn't have a chemical crash effect. Some how it stimulates our cells energy. I used to take it when I worked, it lasts about 6 hours and it takes about 20 minutes to get working. I am sure coffee would kick in sooner but this herb works well when you need a lift. What I read in that article blew me away. Now I know what is happening to my head! Liz D. Re: link-brain Liz, Thanks for the great article...very interesting!

Wonder if he is seeking this stimulant > effect? My #3 is my sensory kid. He will smell things when he is eating a food and/or supplement he does not tolerate. I remember smelling things as a child, because I could not see and smell helped me identify people and objects. Good luck. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
