Hello Indie,

One thing that happens when someone who claims to be "very well educated in this area" is that they badmouth everything else that they don't believe in or support. They are very full of their own importance and they're hung up on insisting people "Have to" listen to their every word and follow their educated advice.

Not everyone is adversely affected by processed foods (although personally I refuse to eat them), and even those who are affected tend to have to detox for a number of years before their body and brain return to a balanced system and the added chemicals are completely out of the body..it doesn't happen in a 2 week detox program...you have to continue the program until you know your body and mind are OK and in balance.

You must follow what you feel comfortable with. I personally know how you feel because I go to bed at all different hours and never sleep over a certain number of hours. Also if I didn't have depression meds I probably wouldn't be here now...

It's ok for people to offer advice and support but to tell you what you HAVE to do and that you HAVE to listen to them because they are educated is the height of arrogance educated doesn't mean intuitively intelligent...
