Book Reviews of Caffeine Blues: Wake Up to the Hidden Dangers of America's #1 Drug
Book Review: Anxiety and Panic attacks have gone away
Summary: 5 Stars
In December of 2007 I was in Barnes and Noble enjoying my coffee looking for books on nutritional supplements when I stumbled upon this book, "Caffeine Blues." Due to a constant depression and anxiety I was feeling and inability to cope with running a business from 2005 to 2007, I was prescribed antidepressants. At that time, small problems would send me into a panic and I would literally have to leave the office. I started taking natural supplements in October 2007 (same, tyrosine, gaba, l-glutamine, flax seed oil and multi vitamins) to combat my depression and anxiety. These supplements definitely helped. My business suffered substantially from 2005 to the middle of 2008 due to my inability to handle stress. My typical day consisted of a large coffee from Starbucks in the morning, a large coke or Dr. Pepper for lunch and a medium coffee in the late afternoon. I tried to get off of caffeine unsuccessfully a couple of times for about a month when I had an upcoming audition. (I am a professional musician as well as a busniness owner).
After I read this book over the holiday break in 2007, my view of caffeine changed completely. I now view putting large amounts of caffeine in my body as pure poison. The caffeine depletes much of the minerals and vitamins I was taking. The nutritional supplements that I take without caffeine screwing up the bodies ability to absorb them has made a big difference in adjusting to life without caffeine. I am taking several of the supplements that are recommended in this book and other books: check out "Depression Free for Life" by Gabriel Cousens. I have been caffeine free for 10 months now and these are the changes that have occured:
-My depression is gone.
-My stress levels are back to normal (My business is doing much better)
-I wake up early and want to sleep at a decent hour.
-I'm not craving sugary foods near as much during the day and late at night.
-I am much more clear minded.
-My digestive system is clearing up (no constant diahrrea and 30 minute bathroom stops throughout the day).
-I have consistent energy levels throughout the day. (Supplements and Vitamins are crucial in getting off caffeine and having focus and energy).
-I have lost 25 lbs.
-I don't feel any need for coffee in the mornings.
Cherniske's challenge is this: try his program for 60 days and see what happens. You can always start drinking large amounts of coffee and soda again. I need to reread this book about twice a year to remind myself of this "Poison" I was putting in my body on a constant basis.
