I drink a pot of coffee a day as well as a diet soda or two. Not the healthiest but how in the world do people function without it? My body is like almost immune to most drugs like coffee. I have to have huge amounts of it to work.
I wonder if you've built up a resistance.or tolerance. If you slowly wean yourself back, over time, you may be able to get by on less.

I'm going to share a link to one of my other threads because I believe many survivors of SRA/MK will be able to relate.
Instant replay....

I do not drink water.....straight LOL
Nearly three pots of coffee a day. I have a coffee cup sitting next to me at all the times.
I am a very healthy OX at 64.
I love Coke just do not drink a lot of it.
The rest is tea, whole milk, juice, and beer.

I heard knocks at the door about 45 minutes ago
I'm glad you're taking note. This is so common and the fact you're aware/conscious of it is a great sign. It means you're not switching, which is what their intention is. You might try turning some music on and keeping doors locked.

Thank you for the link I never heard of this, I will be careful and on the lookout, the soft drinks I drink are diet as I’m diabetic and are caffeine free.
Yes, do be careful of artificial sweeteners. There are literally none that are good for u. They build up in your system over time and are poisonous and carcinogenic.

It can begin to drive you a bit crazy, but there is almost no food available anymore that's 100% healthy for us. Sad and very frustrating. Drink as much water as you can stand and be good to yourself. The entire world really IS out to get us now.

Amazing, and thank you for sharing this. I had no idea. One thing I have been aware of for more than two decades, however, is that I can consume very little caffeine in anything without it seriously effecting me. My gastro-intestinal system gets effected and this puts pressure on my heart, which makes me exceedingly up tight and tensed up, on top of the normal effects of caffeine which make me hyper and unable to sleep for quite awhile, and that is after consuming just a little of it, like just a few gulps of a Coke. I can no longer eat chocolate except in small quantities for a short amount of time, which is a real bummer because it is my favorite food on the planet. But whatever it is they put in caffeine now, my body absolutely cannot tolerate it.

Thanks again for sharing. That's very interesting.
Happy to inform about this stuff, the world really needs to know. Feel free to pass that link on. I almost picketed outside a Starbucks once just to inform the customers in the long drive thru line. Had a plan and was about to make a sign, etc., then of course life got in the way. Sometimes I fear I missed a blessing for not going through with that inspiration from the Lord. So many young people have no idea how bad that crap is for them.

I too can have just one swig of Coke and my shoulder joint will start hurting. They've discovered that joint pain is more often toxins in the body than actual joint damage. Since I've cut out soft drinks with their concentrated corn syrup (lab-created sugar), and all caffeine products, I rarely have any joint pain anywhere anymore. It's a sad day that we are so bombarded and buried in poisonous food ingredients. About all you can do is pray for God's blessing on every single thing you ingest and try the best you can to eat healthy. I believe it does make a difference.

Truth is i no longer drink those drinks . IF i did , i had rather drink a regular one than the junk they put into the diet ones .
Its worse in the long term than the regular ones . Though in short term the regular ones are far worse for diabetics .
I am fast coming to the conclusion we should eat and drink the natural way , as GOD made things .
Like teas , green teas , natural things . And we dont have to add sugar to them .
You can use a wee bit of honey .

It's very addictive and even after being weened off it for a long while, I still struggle in the mornings without it. Almost every single morning I think about how good a cup of coffee would be, and I often really feel I need it 'cause it's so hard to get my head going. But after about 2 years completely without it, I feel it has helped me a ton in my overall health. The other things working against us is that the foods available to us are so low in quality nutrients; that contributes greatly to our lethargy and difficulty waking up in the morning.

Isn't it crazy how they have made everything work together to funnel us in the directions they want us to go? Food is made in such a way to starve our bodies of nutrients which cause us not only to eat more, but to be tired all the time; not to mention microwaves destory any remaining nutrients in foods. So we eat more, LIVE on caffeine products, or drugs, just to keep going and we get prescribed drugs that help us with the dis-eases that come from these issues and the pharmaceutical drugs we're prescribed have ingredients that cause OTHER issues that call for MORE prescriptions. World without end.

All we can do is pray, stay in The Word and do our best to get by. Eventually God will make things right again. I can't wait. :)

Can't believe it's already winter solstice. Doesn't feel like we've even had winter here in the south. We've got 3 days in the 80's coming for Xmas Eve, Xmas and day after. Many trees still covered in leaves. Been a wacky, wacky winter down here for sure.

Saw a cottonwood tree yesterday that was completely bare of all its leaves and the ends of the branches were already budding new leaves. It thinks it's Spring.

Literally makes me angry every time I see the damage they're doing to our world with all of their nonsense, messing with the weather. God's judgment will come down hard on all those who destroy the earth.

Yes, and I noticed it also effects my body as well. I get serious muscle pain, like everywhere. Before I realized what was causing it, it actually laid me out a few times it was so bad. I have very little pain these days as well, and it's because I'm careful about what I eat and drink. MSG also does things to me, but if I stay away from both, life is normal.

Just a quick reply without taking us off track, I hope. I love coffee, was addicted to McD's Coffee and Coca cola. I began to notice subtle things about how the caffeine affected me though. The effects felt more and more chemical, and not natural as most assume caffeine is, and as it once was. To this day, I can have one small cup of coffee and 6 hours later I am feeling chemical effects of anxiety and over-stimulation of my mind.

Turns out that all the caffeine, in all products that contain it, in America now is synthetic. That means it is synthesized in a lab with chemicals to mimic the effects of natural caffeine. 97% of coffee and caffeine lovers in America have no idea of this. It has long been assumed that coffee is a healthy natural drink in the morning to get us going, but it is not at all anymore. In fact, the chemicals used to make it, as well as the final product, are almost as bad for you as meth-amphetamine. Very harmful and caustic chemicals such as ammonia and others are used to produce the final product in unregulated labs in China.

You can research this all for yourself. Look up the origins of synthetic caffeine. It will shock and disgust you. If you have any nervous system issues at all; shakiness, problems holding onto things, etc., you can almost guarantee it's from drinking/eating caffeine products. And it's also in everything; sports drinks, protein shakes, chocolate, painkillers like Excedrin, soft drinks and of course all coffee - even those labeled Non-GMO or Organic. There is literally zero natural caffeine anywhere in America anymore. This is all part of what helped me to finally cut it out completely. It's awful for you.

Here's an article about it:
Caffeine or Ammonia? – STORM


Caffeine has never agreed with me. I drink water only most of the time or herbal tea.

Thanks for sharing this.

the ants and bugs who love sweets wont even go to artificial sugar....
It's funny you mention that.

That's another thing I had discovered in very recent years. I love fruit, mostly keep apples and oranges, bananas here and there, around. I have noticed that they are all tasting much sweeter than they used to. I grew up eating these fruits regularly, and I've also never really been a sugar fanatic. Always enjoyed it, but to a limited degree. I kept thinking "they must've genetically modified these fruits to somehow contain, or absorb while growing, more sugar." I am borderline Diabetic and if I eat something very sweet, it often wreaks havoc on my mood or flat knocks me out for a couple hour nap that I wake from feeling very bad.

A good, healthy nap should leave you feeling well rested. These events left me feeling like I was waking from heavy chemical tranquilizers or something. Very groggy, sluggish and feeling like my mind was full of cotton. Then I came across an article about a Zoo Veterinarian that had always kept certain animals on a healthy diet of fruit. He said he began to notice the animals were getting unusually obese, sick and having problems with their teeth - rotting and cavities, etc. After much contemplation, and looking carefully at their diets, he discovered the fruit, which was supposed to be normal non-GMO fruit, was ususually high in sugar. He had to wean them all off their fruit diets to correct the problem and restore their health.

Here is a whole page of articles on this case:
zoo vet discovers gmo fruits making animals fat and sick - Google Search

What you reminded me of, lily, was that I used to always throw apple cores out into the backyard instead of letting them rot in the trash can. The squirrels loved 'em and even began to come up to me afterward for peanuts and things. NOW, if I hand them a core, they will take it excitedly, run away up the tree about 6 feet, stop, smell the core and drop it to the ground. They will have nothing to do with the apples anymore and they're all store bought from multiple local grocery stores. What's really interesting is that they're the same brand and type of apples they used to love, which means to me that they've been altering them without any notice whatsoever to the public.

I hate what the evil people in charge are doing to God's magnificent creation. :(
