Hi there Batspit!

However, once your body is horribly out of balance and some systems aren't working correctly, I believe its quite likely that controlling calories may be one of the only ways to correct some of the damage.

Precisely! To the part above which I have bolded. It was such an eye-opener to me to read about weakened adrenals and finally work out that I had finally found - at least I think so, so far - a key element to my being able to improve my general health and maybe extend my "good years".
Now that I know what kind of damage caffeine and alcohol have been doing to my adrenals and how much ingesting these chemicals has depleted my magnesium supplies (causing further damage to my adrenal glands), I finally feel that I will be able to really tackle the issue of weaning myself off these chemicals for good.

Are you familiar with adrenal fatigue? Is that something you have looked into as well? Schwarzbein is well worth reading on the subject.
