Hi Petra
Getting into biochemical balance is about so much more than just cutting out sugar. And cutting out sugar cold turkey is not an instant cure for anything. I cut out the sugar all at once before finding this program, just like you, but it took adding in healthy food and learning the subtleties of this program, plus some time, before I felt biochemically balanced. Right now you are in withdrawal and it is natural that you would feel bad.

How about reading about the 7 steps of this program on this website and in Kathleen's books, and working on step 1? I think if you give this program a try, taking it nice and slow, you will be pleased with the results. It cured my depression and crazy thought patterns and gave me my life back. But not overnight - it took time.
