Hi Tania. Aspartame is really nasty stuff and has been implictated in a number of health problems, particularly MS and auto-immune disorders. Giving the extreme yin chemical up completely was the best thing you could do for your health. Switching to the standard macrobiotic diet should be enough to help detox from the aspartame over time. Give yourself a good 1-2 year transitioning period, eating a wide variety of greens, soups, and whole grains. Try to minimize salt and use only a small amount of miso every toher day. Make sure the broth you cook for the miso has scallion and seaweed in it.
What detox herbs did you use: milk thistle, dandelion, burdock, licorice, red clover? These are all good but one of the best is chlorophyll which is in most green foods, especially ALFALFA. Chlorophyll is a blood purifier due to its high vit. K component. Some health food stores carry liquid solutions of this with is flavored with mint oil. Follow the directions on the bottle or simply drink the tea ( 4-5 cups daily).
In peace, Roy
