Like Tweety51A, I tackled sweet cravings when I started doing 16-hour fasting. As a part of that, I stopped putting sugar in my coffee. Once I stopped with sugar in the coffee, I just craved sweets less overall throughout the day. BTW, black coffee does not break your fast, so you can drink black coffee during the fasting period.
Intermittent fasting is a miracle for healing chronic illness.
Unlike Tweety51A, I do not use Stevia as I think it tastes disgusting and not at all like sugar. Stevia works for some, not all.
For supplements, I recommend small quantities of iodine and magnesium (magnesium should be taken at night). Most Americans are low on both and the body has a hard time without them.
Interesting that dropping sugar from your coffee helped stop cravings. And Thank you. I was not familiar with the zapper at all. How do you take your iodine? Just from table salt or do you actually take it separately? And why do you recommend magnesium at night time? Thanks for posting!
The zapper is a product designed by a woman named Hulda Clarke back in the 1950s. She progressed an older Russian technology by making a device that emits an electrical current in a frequency that kills parasites, viruses, etc. She didn't patent her device, and there are many companies that make variations of her device. The one that I use (linked above) was $300 and is really well made, with nice handles that are easy to hold. I recommend it. Some companies charge thousands of dollars for their version, and some versions are not well made, so you have to do some research on who you buy from for quality/value for the money.
Magnesium is an essential nutrient. Taking it at night helps regulate your sleep cycle. My guess is because your body repairs itself in its sleep and magnesium is necessary for many cell level body repairs.
Iodine is another essential nutrient that is required for your thyroid to function properly. Many times, high cholesterol can be mitigated simply by adding an iodine supplement to your diet... it gives your thyroid the oomph it needs to get rid of the cholesterol.
Iodine dissipates out of salt, so there is only iodine in your salt if it is a new container. Once the salt container been opened a while, the iodine is all gone.
I buy my iodine supplement at the health food store as a liquid in oil. The one I buy is about 100 micrograms per drop, with 2 drops per day needed for minimum. The bottle costs about $10 and lasts about a year. Its also made from alfalfa, so people with seafood allergies can safely take it. Be careful about dosage. Too much iodine can make you not feel good, and many iodine products will be like 400 mcg per drop or even 800 mcg per drop.
Iodine is especially critical if your local water is fluoridated. When your body is low on iodine, it will absorb fluoride (which is a neurotoxin) as a substitute. If you are not low on iodine, your body is more likely to pass the fluoride unabsorbed.

Like Tweety51A, I also use a zapper for parasites: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7Z3GrEMieo0SJ_BnyjoYYw

Thank you. That is a lot of great information!
My own health has been a giant struggle. I've learned a lot (mostly the hard way) and I'm happy to help others.
