Bob’s really been an inspiration to me in the caffeine department, glad to see he’s inspiring so many people here.

As for myself, I’m down to 1 cup of “quarter-caf” in the morning now, which is a major shift for me, considering I get up at 4:30AM each day. I’m blogging that this week.

I am a coffee addict! At my absolute worst, I was drinking about 8 cups a day. (8 huge, steaming MUGS is more like it.) I’m down to 4 cups a day now (hooray!) but I don’t think I could ever walk away from my java completely.

Peet’s Coffee makes some great decaf [water processed/ not formaldehyde processed] if you’re jonzin’ for a taste of the coffee. I think these stores are near you. if you’re not a fan yet, I guarantee you will be if you like its dark, rich, and full-body taste.

I feel your angst. When ‘they’ suspected I might have cancerous prostate cells, slicing and dicing all they could come with, I’m stalling for better options.

A homeopathic nutritionist prescribed a raft of pricey pills, drops, oral sprays and a strict diet that EXCLUDES COFFEE! Horror of horrors!

“It’s way too acidic for you now, especially since you’re also HIV positive.” Most people need to be overall more alkaline.” Hmmm….. I KNOW that….

Anyhow, the upshot is, I always had gonzo headaches going off coffee cold turkey. With the homeopathics, it’s a been a piece of cake (which is not on the okay list either, ‘natch).

A.J., apparently strawberries are a common allergen, and are part of the “anti-inflammatory” diet that Bob’s acupuncturist recommended. She believes the diet is helpful for people who suffer from strains, sprains, tendonitis/bursitis, arthritis, and can also help lower levels of fat in the blood while smoothing out blood sugar variations. Bob may expand upon this point in a response to your comment.

What could possibly be unhealthy about strawberries?
