The main problem with decaf coffee is that it's still very acidic, which tends to veer the body toward hormonal imbalance. To answer your question about vitamin C and B3, I believe the main problem is with either insufficient (also compromises detoxification) or excess levels (think: Linus Pauling). How do we right-size your levels? The detox packets are a great start. Does that answer your question?Dr. Sara Gottfried, MDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08456964469914443766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-90542649781204162.post-8940899887739852402011-03-27T14:12:05.322-07:002011-03-27T14:12:05.322-07:00I'm right there with you, Dr. Sara.

Incidentally (validating fodder for your post-cleanse habits), Blue Bottle Decaf Noir uses the swiss water process to decaffeinate, rather than the significantly more toxic direct solvent method you quoted from wikipedia. But, yes, in cleanse time, it's better not to have the taste of coffee or those trace amounts of caffeine. I hope your cleansing day 3 is a productive one!Slavicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16066460929560367202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-90542649781204162.post-89549355648011192042011-03-25T18:05:12.593-07:002011-03-25T18:05:12.593-07:00Dropping coffee IS a challenge.

If I go beyond 9:30 or 10:00 am without cofee I get a HUGE headache that leads to nausea. And I cant get past the wonderful aroma, and all the sensory triggers associated with it. The best I have been able to do is keep my consumption down to a cup or so a day, but evertime I clean the 'grunge' build up from the filter resevoir I cringe at what my insides must look like ! Thank you for the useful pointers!Namastehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08068806692725844964noreply@blogger.com
