Please go to a website called DoctorYourself.com - Andrew W. Saul's Natural Health Website and go down the left-hand side index to an article called "caffeine Allergy" by Ms. Ruth Whalen. It's the most serious article I've ever read about the damage caffeine can do to the
brain in people who have a sensitivity to caffeine and use it over a long period.
It does damage the brains of those sensitive to it. It also is addictive and helps to create an acidic overload.
And here's another for you: wheat, barley, and rye will do similar things to people sensitive to the exorphins in gluten. Those three grains all contain gluten and it is breakdown product from gluten that makes wheat addictive, causes one to crave more at every 2 to 3-hour intervals during the day.
The best answers for you regarding these things are in recent publications.
Enjoy it while you can and if you can! |
Ok this part was crazy to me "It's highly probable, that millions of consumers developed an allergy to caffeine, especially since availability and production increased rapidly mid- twentieth century. In which case, natural insights, and physical and mental health, have been sacrificed to chronic toxicity, resulting in organic brain, silently posing as ADD, ADHD, anxiety, BPD, depression, OCD, panic, and schizophrenia"
Because I've been diagnosed with Bipolar, ADHD, and I have severe symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder, (Not sure if then meant that or Bipolar by BPD) and I also suffer from anxiety and panick attacks.
Could this really all be related to a caffeine allergy? One thing I didn't quite clearly understand is, how does one KNOW if they are sensitive to caffeine or not? Is there some test you can take to find out if your allergic to caffeine? Because as far as I know, I don't exhibit any serious signs...
