Hello everybody:

I think SomedaySoon is correct about this being adrenal in nature. When I was really sick, sugar would set me in panic attack mode, something I never knew existed. And I seem to find myself sometimes waking at 2-3 am, despite the 3 mg melatonin. Time and again my research points at adrenals. Would like to know if anyone has actually healed their adrenals, what they did, and how long it took. I have read and follow much of the advice I have seen including the above, which is very good, but I am going to buy a couple more books soon.

As of now, I pretty much avoid sugar, but no one can escape it entirely. I just figure I will consume about 5-10% of what an average american does a year, which is like over a 100 lbs.

Now, with the mercury out, I sometimes feel like sugar can help me feel better, but it is better as Bex said to have natural sugars. And, I noticed if I make a fruit smoothie by tossing it all in a blender, you don't go bonkers from the sugar as the fiber is there too. But I am really consuming it to get the healing power of the fruits and vegetables. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
