I have to come in and second on this Dandelion Root tea as coffee sub while healing. Wow! I was impressed! It does taste like coffee and seems to have a similar texture and color as well. Good enough reminder for me!

I like it a lot too because I have not even added any milk or sweeteners to it either as just the coffee vibe does it for me with that tea. It needs nothing else.

Hi Lara and Peter!
Thank you both for your thoughts on the matter of a coffee substitute. Looks like Pero is not in favor with either of you. So, for real coffee... I don't know if I have a blood sugar issue or adrenal issue. Just prior to getting M, Coffee used to make me have an upset stomach. Before that I drank coffee all my life without problem. But, I was having significant reflux months leading up to getting MD. Happily, I haven't had any stomach acid or reflux since starting this protocol. I will ponder the idea of sipping some organic, low acid coffee with almond milk. As for the Dandelion Tea, Peter mentioned, it sounds like a great coffee substitute. However, I believe I have a ragweed allergy, but if Dandelion root is in some of our Logos supplements, I tolerate those well, so maybe I could have the tea. However, due to severe allergic reactions in my past (swelling of lip/tongue/throat)I just don't think I feel like testing myself on that tea. Darn. Though, I hope others will enjoy it if they are missing coffee.
Blessings!

Hi Mary,

It's a foggy autumn here...while reading your post, I've been enjoying the single cup of coffee I allow myself per day! I'm sure others might disagree and chime in, especially considering the acidity problem, and I understand that. But I eat very healthily, and the one cup helps keep me going because I don't feel I'm depriving myself of every single pleasure.

Here's what I've found personally: As long as I stick to 1 cup of organic filter coffee (very important, as the non-organic brands are super-high in heavy metals), I do fine. I add unsweetened organic coconut milk or almond milk (or even a dash of organic milk, preferably raw goat's milk). No sweetening. Some folks use a bit of stevia. Whatever you do, avoid agave syrup. Nasty stuff - you can google the dangers.

It helps to have your coffee after breakfast, as your blood sugar will remain stable.

I would avoid coffee if I had blood-sugar issues or adrenal issues, which many have. (You'll feel jittery and wired, and it's tough on the adrenals.) As for the barley in Pero, I'd avoid it, as it's a grain/starch.

Hope this helps! Blessings and a peaceful week to you.
