Coffee - caffeine
Man I hate how wonky this forum is! I just posted a huge response and it was lost and now I can't even get the page to come up with the response button! So coffee guy, I hope you see this post and I hope it doesn't get lost again LOL!
Some people do quite well with coffee. I don't understand why, but they do. Kinesiology says it does them no harm. It could be they're getting enough minerals and are a Kapha body type.
But candida people need to be alkaline,a nd coffee makes you acidic. Coffee/caffeine drains the adrenals and forces the liver to give up its reserves of glycogen, which forces the pancreas to give up its reserves of insulin. This causes all kinds of exhaustion, both to the body, organs, and hormones overall.
Even de-caf coffee still robs the body of much needed minerals, and if they use chemical to de-caf, it's worse than regular coffee!
