Hey, Hey, Kids!! Princeton Uni says I'm NOT crazy!! Check it: I was looking on the Net for more stuff about the deleterous effects of sugar, & found a scientific paper about a study they did on rodents-they fed them lots of sugar & observed the rats (rats, mice, whatever) go into, & I quote: "opioid dependence type symptoms"--so all the hooey I have told you about avoiding sugar SEEMS to be true-Think: if the animals are experiencing withdrawl-like symptoms, just from sugar, then when WE chill out & eat a lot of sugar, we are like doubling the difficulty of our withdrawl! This gives me great hope, that # 1, I am not insane, #2, that what I thought was happening w/ me & the sugar was real, not some figment of an overheated brain, #3,my next withdrawl might not be quite as bad as the ones before, when I was eating so much sugar, as a comfort.In fact, I may e-mail the cat & tell him he's NOT barking up the wrong tree.Or do you think that I may frighten him? Comments, anyone?Does sugar have a bad effect or have you not noticed?
Noticed that verytime I come off of opiates I eat tons of candy, then after the phyical and some of the mental affects of opiate withdrawl have ended, I kind of have to treat eating sugar the same way I do heroin, so I totally agree.
Errrrrrrrr.....well i still eat lots of candy and I'm still friggin NUTS.......sooo maybe thats y
I was a candy eating FOOL on methadone. Getting clean I could hardly eat food. I had a uncontrolable URGE to get sweets. It put back on those pounds heroin took off. Thankfully that's OVER.
O.K. let's look at this thread ladies......any of us that have posted already raise your hand if you are not nuts......LOL....hey, I relish being nuts.....come on we're heroin addicts....no sane person does heroin.
You are a trip Alaska......man, you must be so fun to hang out with.....I also love your passion about your foods, and vitamins, and all......good for you...I saw this thing about the rats/mice and sugar.....something similar.
How's about all these kids with food allergies.....CORN....that practically ruined my life, and I am dead serious.....corn syrup is in EVERYTHING.....Alaska, there's books by Doris Rapp......you'd love her books.....check it on line.
Babes I was a macrobiotic, and trust you me I believe you....hell's girl you should be in Princeton University.....you're smart.
O.K. now don't everyone get into looking up colon cleansing because supposedly we all have parasites....I was swearing I had them after I read that stuff.......OMG nasty, nasty......on an aside alaska.....when I was a kid I got pinworms......AWFUL.....just me, and no siblings or anything......my mom said they were from sugar......who knows......everytime I drank soda I got pinworms....so maybe she was right......just horrid.

Guess what else! I saw a thing on Nat Geo channel about food & mood last nite & there are definite links to what you eat & how it makes you feel! Proteins (meat, fish, etc.)make you feel alert & focussed, while carbs(pasta, rice,breads) cause you to feel a sense of well-being, calm. GET THIS: A HISTAMINE deficiency can cause Depression-Heroin releases histamines in the body(you do a whack & yr. nose starts itching,a flushed face,etc.-signs of a histamine release),so you feel good if you have a deficiency & you use. BUT when you stop, you'd feel bad, right?Get diagnosed Deperssed, go on pills? When all you need is to get a better eating plan & feel better.They showed this lady, diag. Depressed for yrs., on meds.She went to a dietician/nutritionist type who put her on a new eating plan & 2 wks. later was feeling better -,off her pills,She said like a new person. She had the Histamine problem.I think a lot of folks diagnosed Depressed might be able to be helped by this Food approach.I just hate to think of folks tied to a pill bottle after the Herculean struggle to get straight.I reckon I am onto somethin here...
