  The irony to me is that all this organic stuff is exactly the way our grandparents ate! Trying to be healthy is so freaking expensive. And, we wonder why obesity is becoming an epidemic in our country.

  I'm hoping you will try stevia as a sweetener, because I've heard of it many times but never had it - or even seen it anywhere for that matter. You can be our guinea pig! And I'm interested to see how the organic life goes in general; maybe you will be posting in a few weeks about how transformational it was, or maybe that it gave you hives.

  You're right about the splenda; in the few instances where I've used it, I grossly oversweetened my coffee because I didn't realize. But, I really hate the taste of it, so no doubt that made the effect even worse.

  I commend the sugar efforts, I think I might cry if I had to stop eating my artificial sweetness.

  Here are a couple places you may want to try to live the organic life:

  Trader's Point Creamery - it's off west 86th over by the new Trader's Point Plaza area, it may be a haul, but I think it's worth it. Here's there web site: http://www.traderspointcreamery.com/

  Also, so you don't even have to leave the house...try this too! I have several friends that have been using this service and they love it. My hubby and I are about to get on the band wagon as well.

  I've not read the full extent of your search of headache relief, so I don't know if you've been tested for cluster headaches, I only say this b/c I think I've developed them and they are a constant source of pain - I hope you find relief soon!!

  In the words of your very first few blog posts, "expect failure, but keep trying".

  I know if you persist you will figure out the answer and cure to your headaches.

  We're praying for ya!!!

  Gonna have that darn song stuck in my head all afternoon now. You can't beat a spot of one-armed drumming! :)

  i would like to second the stevia suggestion--you'll be able to find it at any health food type store, and it's super, super sweet. way sweeter than sugar. and zero calories!!! good luck, i think that going organic is definitely good for overall health, if it's done properly, in part because one can no longer eat processed food (though i love processed food, i'll be honest). LOVE IT. not saying i don't love an apple or whatever, but candy and doughnuts and frozen pizza and all that....mmmmm....

  I'm not going to suggest new remedies for your headache, but I find it interesting that after you try something for what seems like a very short time you say "But I Still have my headache" as though a headache you've had for a really really long time is going to go away after 1 acu/chiro/leech treatment, or a week of not putting artificial flavor/sweetener/etc into your body. You didn't lose half your size by exercising once and saying "But I'm still fat" or eating healthy one day and saying "didn't lose any weight, that must not work."

  Maybe give the changes you are making some more time to work. Maybe getting rid of something that is so entrenched takes a variety of healthy changes that you stick with for the rest of your life, and not a quick fix.

  Or maybe you just need to try some leeches. They worked for my cousin's best friend's mom and she had really bad headaches for a really long time so I know they will work for you.

  Oh man, did splenda ever trigger my headaches. I solved the coffee dilemma by adding more skim milk; organic milk tastes sweeter to me than normal milk, and while that doesn't totally solve the calorie problem, I have total mental blocks about that third packet of sugar. Can't do it.

  Sounds like the headache suggestions are themselves adding to the headache. Now there's a catch-22.

  I think there's a huge benefit to going organic/non-processed, but it sure is a hard road in today's world. It gets easier with practice but it takes a lot of reading and finding out just WHERE to shop and WHAT to eat. I'm nowhere near a whole-foods diet yet, but I've made a lot of progress. Maybe one of the T. Colin Campbell books would have some advice? I only read China Study but he advocates a whole foods diet, and I think he has other books about eating that way (as opposed to just about his study and all that). Maybe a Michael Pollen work too? Anyway, I'm sure there are other books, or when I get into a big new project like this I find online msg boards to help a lot. I'm sure you're already trying that, but I did want to wish you luck and let you know I think it's a worthy endeavor, even just for overall health! Frankly, the general Western diet scares the hell out of me. Ever try not to eat anything corn-sourced? Practically impossible.

  I like the honesty about how to get on your shit list. I totally understand that (at least I think I do). When I was initially sick around the time we figured out I was diabetic, everyone had an answer and it was "just so simple if only you...." do x, y, z, etc. Then I was definitely diagnosed as being diabetic and developed about 10 months worth of other unexplainable/untreatable issues that have since subsided. Being sick and feeling bad without a sensible remedy in sight can be pretty miserable. I applaud your stick-to-it-iveness and am hoping for relief for you soon. Hang in there! On a sidenote - it's made for some interesting stories on your blog...hopefully it won't be a source of interesting writing for too much longer.

  I grow a lot of my own food and I cant tell you what a shock it is to go back to eating waxy apples and fake tomatoes when the season is over. I suffer from migraines but I dont think mine is as complex an issue as yours. My migraines come over my period, when the weather changes and always and always when I eat sugar. My daughters mother in law is a nurse and all she does is works with pain management. She said most of her patients were chronic migraine sufferers. She says there are people who have lived their entire lives with headaches and there has been no reason ever found. All they can do is learn how to manage the pain and live with it. I hope thats not the case with you but maybe going for pain management might be an answer until another is found.

  Honey is a natural sweetner, too! You can probably find some locally made stuff, and
