Yet the same logic cannot be applied to herbs? I am not suggesting poisoning yourself with herbs here, just pointing out a contradiction. I will continue to use my herbs, teas, vitamin D, and a supplement or two in moderation when helpful after checking for toxicity. Thankfully, I have little or no fibrosis.

3119934 tn?1342037844 Trust me you dont want to take Psychotropic Meds for FM its a deficiency in the body that causes it that has to be addressed. Ive gone nuts trying to find relief even with having been on Cymbalta twice since 2005, this time for a year for the FM that just suddenly developed after I was off it for 3 months (yes I weaned off carefully and was fine). But now I want off after watching a program called marketing madness on you tube. It opened my Fibro Fog watching it.
Avatar f tn I am in the San Francisco area, where we can go out for a very strong cup of coffee, like Philz coffee (yum yum, and they add a mint leaf), but the usual cup of StarBucks, is not going to be as strong as say, a cup of Peets coffee, if you go out.

The grapefruit juice will increase the half-life of the caffeine in the bloodstream, so you can stay awake all night on two cups instead of six. This works.

Avatar n tn I have cut down on the tea quite a bit to one cup every other day to every two days. However I want to know if it will still effect my baby. Any help will be appreciated!
Avatar m tn But since dates are not consumed at anywhere near the level of coffee, the blue ribbon goes to our favorite morning pick-me-up as the number one source of antioxidants, he says.

Avatar m tn I'm sure 1 cup a day is fine. I too am a heavy coffee drinker and I don't think one cup a day will hurt, but decided to let it go for myself & the baby as I know that the benefits outweigh the other.
Avatar m tn My understanding is coffee is not to be included in the volume of liquids you drink each day since it dehydrates the body. However, I drink 2-3 cups each morning and it has positive benefits. I don't count the volume of water and other liquids in foods consumed, but just try to stay well hydrated.

Avatar m tn The thing is, I'm not having negative effects. It is actually removing my depressive symptoms. I don't have the hopeless empty feeling when using caffeine. My hand is a bit unsteady but I don't feel my heart racing or discomfort from the caffeine high. I just feel focused and my head is less cloudy. I'm not crashing either. As long as I tank up early in the morning I don't need more for another 24 hours. I've been analyzing this in my mind for a few weeks.
12365171 tn?1424880667 ve actually been on it after each of the 6 IUIs (fertility treatment) I had (6th one was the charm!) in order to increase uterine lining thickness/chance of implantation. Which leads me to think it is often used as "extra insurance," perhaps for women over 35. I'm switching to regular GYN for next appt - does anyone know how long one usually takes the progesterone?
Avatar n tn If you were on the .88 mcg Synthroid - you should be at at least 1 grain of Armour. That is why your TSH is climbing. Do you take it all at one time - If so this is not a good idea. The T3 in Armour is pretty high so splitting your dosage out to 3 times a day is much better. Spreading the T3 out is more of a natural process as what you own thyroid would do. Swallowing Armour is not the best way to take it.
Avatar m tn So I guess the answer to me is, the better one is the one that works, and the best one is when you can solve the problem without meds at all, but that isn't necessarily possible. Good luck whatever route suits you.

Avatar m tn About a month ago for the first time since I started smoking (which started at 14) I coughed up tar. It scared the hell out of me and I started looking up ways to cleanse my body of all the toxins that have built up. Well I stumbled upon green tea and the suppossive amazing benefits from green tea. So since that month has past all I've been drinking is green tea and water no pop not even really juice or anything. Still smoke still drink but I feel like incredibly better.
Avatar f tn I know that this Coffee Story has been splashed all over the news today in regard to Decaf Coffee and Liver Disease. Decided to do some additional investigation on my own and one of my sources was the American Cancer Society funding of liver disease. Wonder if the limitation of Coffee was because of Caffiene? We do know that Caffiene does play a part in certain cardiovascular diseases. Hep C meds can cause tachycardia as well as arrhythmia's and could be contraindicated with Caffiene.
Avatar m tn And now added to all these wonders is the news that coffee can actual keep you alive! Makes me want to head straight to Starbucks for a cup of the black stuff (nothing in mine, please – I'll take my antioxidants without the needless 400 additional calories from sugar and flavor additives!).
Avatar f tn There are a lot of mixed medical opinions out there regarding this so you should do what you feel comfortable with both physically and emotionally...caffeine is tough to kick so if you decide to cut it out of your diet do it slowly by switching to a mix of decaf and regular...I personally gave it up while I was prego but I had a miscarriage at 11 weeks...however I quickly went back to my old habit and it is a b**** to kick it again!
