cool, thanx for the quick replies..I want to detox completely form caffine..and than maybe go back to mate in a month or so and see how it effects me than..I think that maybe the small ammounts of caffine in tea and mate just agrivate my food allergy symptoms..which I am trying to purge myself of with my diet, and it's giving me yeast die off symptoms..than again, maybe the mate and green tea were actually helping the detox precess and tricking me into thinking it was making things worse..
