Re: i want you all to do yourselves a favor - consider cleansing

Change for some of us isn't easy. I believe that some people are just addictive personalities. Be it alcohol, drugs, gambling, or in my case sugar. Wanting to change is one thing, being able to do so is not as easy as you might think. Sugar is like a drug for me. I know that it is bad for me. I know I shouldn't have it. I want to be healthy SO bad. But when the craving comes over me, it's everything I can do to resist it. I quit smoking after 20 years. And believe me, that was WAY easier. Sugar has a hold on me. When I "need" it, it's like an out of body experience. And I hate myself afterwards, but it's such a vicious cycle. There have been times in my life when I have been strong enough to give it up, but sooner or later, it comes back again.

I've tried taking chromium and other Sugar suppressing supplements, but they don't help and if I take one more supplement I will honestly rattle. My morning routine already involves handfuls of the things. Every time I read another post it seems I am online ordering more supplements. Not to mention the confusion factor. X nutrient won't work unless it is accompanied by Y mineral. If you don't have enough of this, then that won't work. When did health become so confusing.

And don't tell me that it doesn't need to be. "just eat right". Well that isn't as easy as it may sound for some of us. I have mentioned before, that due to where I live, organic is out of the question, and just getting fresh is a real challenge. I will never get what I need from the food here.

Sorry for rambling.... Having a frustrating morning....It just seems that the more I learn, the worse things get. I really can understand why the mass majority just want to live happily in ignorant bliss. And the truth of the matter is I like cheeseburgers. I like pizza. I wish to God that I was one of those people who can eat that stuff their whole lives and never feel an ill effect. But I am what I am and I have to find a way to make peace with it and live as well as I can.

I appreciate all the info Trapper (and Womby and Vulcan too). It's just that when you are brain fogged and fluoridated most of it just goes over your head. I am looking for easy answers in an arena where there are none. But I love you guys and this forum, and one way or another I will figure this all out.
