I think it was my post last month, reporting on how I am in almost total remission after stopping all NutraSweet cold turkey that got this threat started.
At the expense of sounding harsh, let me say this: I reported on being a heavy user of NutraSweet. I couple of liters of Diet Coke per day as though you are bragging about it, and then complain about how bad you feel. God helps those who help themselves.
Stop the NutraSweet for 90 days and go to bed early and get up early. Your ass will drag for a few days but you’ll get on a normal cycle. What the hell do you have to lose, people. Don’t complain if you don’t try.
You’ll live. I promise you, Stopping Diet Coke never hurt anyone. It isn’t heroin. You can do it. Just do it.
Flame me. But if it saves one person from the hell I went through it will be worth it. A dozen people have emailed me to say that they feel much better after stopping NutraSweet. A few have said it didn’t help them at all. You could be one of those thinking clearly and out playing with your kids. All you have to lose is 90 days of Diet Coke.
was very, very sick with FMS (fibromyalgia) and CFS. For some irrational reason, I felt that you could take my Diet Coke from me when they pried my cold dead hands from around it.
When I finally was so bad that I quit cold turkey–not an easy task for a diabetic–I reported to you that within a few days I felt much better and within 90 days I am in almost total remission. Stopping was not my only action. I take B-1, B-6, B12, Chromium, Multi-vitamin, C, melatonin and E daily along with eschenacia. I also drink water and get to bed early. (8 hours of sleep starting at 2 am is not the same as 8 hours starting at 9 pm–that’s a fact.) I also exercise daily whether I feel like it or not.
But I’m telling you that stopping NutraSweet played a major role in my recovery. I don’t care why. But I know it did.
