I don’t have time to educate you, but get rid of all processed sweeteners and start studying healthy eating.
Addictions are simply problems to work out.
Your statements on chemicals are not logical. As a man who spent literally years detoxifying, they are ludicrous.
OK, pardon me for being incensed at your remarks, but in all the time I have argued in favor of polygamy, and all the enemies I have made in the process of doing so, NOT ONE of them has EVER accused me of trying to kill my wife!
I would NEVER try to kill anyone who was not a threat to me or the ones whom I care about, much less my wife, whom I just celebrated 18 years of marriage to this past Sunday! I couldn't live with myself, if I were to do that, even if I could get away with it, my conscience wouldn't let me. In addition, imagine trying to marry another woman, with that on your resume! Sure! Marry me, and you might end up like my first wife, may she rest in peace! That would go over like a pregnant pole-vaulter!
I like sugars and sweet tea. We are not all going to live forever, you know! I'm not worried about hitting 80 or 90, and not being able to make it to 100, because I enjoyed sugar in my tea. I don't do Sweet N Low, or Equal or those other fake sugars, and neither does she, but I won't have someone dictating to my family their personal lifestyle preferences! I took chemistry 101. For crying out loud, the protein molecules that make up our cells, are collections of chemicals! You gotta know the difference between harmful chemicals and potentially beneficial ones. Sure! If you smoke cigarettes, you are likely to develop lung cancer or emphysema!! Got it! We are good there!
Quite frankly, I could care less how many years you spent detoxifying! My wife has done those detox fads! How many studies have been done on them? With medications, they go through rigorous testing, with subjects who volunteer themselves in trade for financial compensation, taking those risks on themselves, while others get the placebo, in order to be evaluated. Most doctors would recommend to my wife that she stay on the Levothyroxine, which is not as natural as the Armor stuff, so OK, I could say, "trust the doctors", but I don't, and believe me, that stuff is more expensive than the Levothyroxine. Phentermine works, whether it is natural or not, and the alternatives have not, and the real inherent danger of what could happen if she doesn't keep her appetite in check is far greater than if she takes them IMHO. That's all I'm going to say about that! If you think she shouldn't be taking Midol during that time of the month, just keep it to yourself. Your wife might have a higher pain threshold than mine. So be it! I have to do what I think is best for her. Headaches get in the way of her conducting day to day affairs, and if she doesn't take Tylenol in time, it just gets worse. I don't know of any evidence to suggest that getting off those pills will clear up her thyroid. If I did, I would tell her to deal with the pain. I am not one to let her suffer needlessly though. Good luck to you in your toxin free world! I hope you live a long and prosperous life!
