“Enough” with the multivitamins already.

I purchased his Mag Bicarb and drink a cup before bed, I sleep like a baby!

Are these among the same guys who touted low fat high carb for the last 40 some odd years?

It cannot get what it needs from soil depletion, pesticides, antibiotics that kill the cows and infect the milk. We live in a time that has never existed before.

We are bombarded with more toxins than DOANS has pills. Our body needs help. Besides after 30 we are not much good at digesting food.

YOU ARE WHAT YOU DIGEST!

[chicagolady]

ABSOLUTELY!

I take iodine every day!

[chicagolady]

Right on! Dr Pauling has my vote!

Now they say coffee helps inhibit the dreaded Alzheimers

Even for my slipped disc, the doctor recommended over the counter Naproxen Sodium instead of a narcotic (which worked)

That's because narcotics only reduce the pain (not an insignificant benefit when used on a temporary basis) without affecting the underlying cause. Naproxen is an anti-inflammatory drug in the same class as aspirin and ibuprofen.

Another useful class of drugs for back trouble is muscle relaxants, but they are prescription-only in the USA. In Canada there are two over-the-counter muscle relaxants that are a godsend when my back flares up; the brand names are Robax and Parafan Forte.

I have heard that taking a lot of vitamins can have deleterious effects on your immune system. I have nothing to back this up, though. Anyone know a source?

[chicagolady]

LOL! Good you keep doing what youre doing and I will listen to “MY” Doctor.

If you do not research natural medicine I understand why you do not approve, you simply Don’t know anybetter.

[chicagolady]

Don’t call yourself a QUACK POT! Go get yourself some anti-depressants and feel better.

[Squawk 8888]

Zinc has been demonstrated to have anti-viral properties.

[chicagolady]

NO, just like low information Voters, You have got to do your RESEARCH!

[chicagolady]

EXACTLY!! My thoughts too!!

[chicagolady]

LOL! Probably. And they called DR ATKINS a Quack!

[Vendome]

Might need Xanax.

Stopped drinking cold turkey a month ago.

Wuz @ Costco today and almost stocked up on Oban.

I want to drop lbs fast and cutting booze is probably all I need.

As a nursing mother (third time around) I don’t know what I’d do without supplements. I mean that literally. Without my Alive multi, super B complex, and D3, I’d probably be in the psych ward. I can actually feel the B complex kicking in. After back-to-back mastitis, I’ve started swallowing two raw cloves of garlic/day. No problems since then, which antibiotics couldn’t cure.

[SeaHawkFan]

I take a multi-vitamin, Glucosamine Condroitin, saw palmetto, one aspirin; 50 mg DHEA, and Vitamin D3 every day.

Some people this stuff doesn't help, but based on my experience; it works.

[BipolarBob]

My online vitamin store has sent me stuff before on how Congress was pondering really restricting what people could order (for our own good of course). I use stuff that I know works. I've done my own research and I can tell the difference . . with and without.

[WVNan]

But I think certain supplements especially vitamin D, can be absolutely essential.

I think so too. I added Vit D3 to my list a year ago and I have not had a cold since. I attribute my good health at 80 to knowing how to take vitamins. Vit.C is primary, and E w/Selenium is needed as anti-oxidant and heart health. D3 has been a happy addition especially in the winter months.
