Also, Shemay--where do you get your supplements? Do you see your nutritionist for them or do you go to Whole Foods or other health food stores? Tomorrow I'm going to start my new way of eating. I crave sugar and have chocolate every day, so I will have to go through the days detox and headache. Typically, what is a day or two of your daily diet? I don't know where to begin. I love fruits and vegetables, so that helps. Do you eat bread? Thanks SO MUCH~~Tara
Hi again Tara.......this is for you too Ray
I get all my supplements from either my Naturopath or my Medical/alternative Doctor. They are almost always cheaper there and I know they are of the best quality. You may find that a cup of coffee will help with the headache you might experience from the chocolate withdrawal. This is not to say there is caffeine in chocolate but there is a chemical that causes a similar reaction.

The Regimen I follow is quite lengthy and when I post it on this board it always comes through compacted and that makes it very hard to follow. It should be clearly defined in paragraphs. Well, I'll post it and take a chance. If you find it too hard to sort out send me a private message and I'll gladly send it along that way. All the best...Sheila
