I had a psychic tell me earlier this year that I would make some "dietary changes" that would have such a profound effect that I will be able to go off my psych meds altogether. I was starting to buy organic (which I will continue to do whenever possible) and considering turning vegetarian as well (which I may do anyway). Then I came across an article that claimed that Heath Ledger died because he drank a lot of diet coke and it made him bi-polar. When I investigated further I learned about the nightmare that is aspartame and it's horrible side effects.
So I gave up aspartame the day after my birthday after reading several (dozen) more articles that say it's poison and causes IBS, ADD, memory loss, bipolar disorder and rage, all of which I suffer from a great deal. I was drinking 3-4 litres (yes litres, not cans) of diet 7-up a day, plus chewed at least 2, sometimes 3 packs a day of aspartame laden sugar-free gum.
I hope that giving it all up will have the miracle type effect that I read about on the internet.
It's been 10 days and my mood is considerably better than it was 11 days ago.
stay tuned.
