I discussed the sugar/pd issue with my husband last night. He is an md (psychiatrist) but is also very educated in holistic/alternative medicine. He incorporates acupunture and homeopathy in his practice. It is his opinion that perhaps a trial of lessening your consumption of sugar would be warrented. Since he isn't aware of your history he does suggest that you contact a nutritionist and discuss this further. Your hypothesis he thought was sound however. Best of Luck. -- Barbara J.
