many different flavors of herb tea, all of which are much healthier for you than caffeine. Give them a try and you'll probably find at least one flavor you really enjoy. (Be careful to select the totally decaffeinated herb teas.)

I just can't imagine life after coffee. What about decaf? Decaf coffee removes about 95% of the caffeine, which is a great improvement. Water-processed decaf is probably your best alternative unless you are under homoepathic treatment, in which case, as mentioned above, it will interfere with the remedies.

What if I just can't quit? Hypnosis, parts therapy, visualization, detoxifica- tion diets, fasting and cleansing, and supportive nutritional supplements are all therapies whch we find helpful to relieve people of their caffeine habits. By getting in touch with your inner strength and resolve and by satisying you desire for caffeine in deeper, more meaningful ways, you can become free of caffeine behind and feel better than you ever imagined!
