Wow, what a great learning experience!
I think, too, that as we clean out our systems, we start getting more sensitive to OTC and legal drugs like iced tea or chocolate.
Stimulants (like amphetamines, fen-phen, stacking, even coffee and tobacco) do assist weight loss...but at a huge cost. One cost I've been reading a lot about is the damage to the serotonin-production system. So in the long term, stimulants leave us unhappy, craving sugar (or our addictive substance of choice), and keep us enslaved in that cycle of depleted serotonin.
Months of healing can, according to Dr. Schwarzbein and some others, allow the brain chemistry to heal itself. Aren't we all lucky that healing is possible?
