I started taking supplements daily over 50 years ago when Iafter childbirth I started developing varicosities. My mother had horrible veins with ankle ulcers for 6 years before she had her leg veins stripped. fortunately I found the author Adele Davis and books Let’s Eat Right to Keep Fit and more technical Let’s Get Well. Following her advice my red veins faded and at 84 my legs are still fine. Her books can still be bought on line. Below some of my successes with supplements.

Me, age 31, read Adele Davis and in addition to curing varicose veins with Vitamin E and other supplements cured anemia which Iron had not helped. Turns out E helps red blood cells live longer, probably my problem. finally cured.

Father;s annual severe hay fever eliminated for the rest of his life. He died at 90 of stroke caused by high blood pressure and anger producing situation. He never followed my advice to get help with his severe anger.

Age 50, adding boron to my calcium, stopped leg cramps and back pain, doubled the daily dose when this recurred at age 70 and I had shrunk an inch.

Age 80, popped something in my knee when trying to crawl through small window to make roof repair on porch. Taking the widely recommended supplements for joints, completely healed the knew joint in less than a year.

Age 81, was experiencing severe glare problems from sun and car lights while driving at night. Was told cataracts could only be cured by surgery. Started taking Lutien, Bilberry, Blueberry, and Astaxanthin supplements. Vision is now 75 to 80% improved (age 84).

Age 83, avoided Covid by taking extra Vitamin D3, C, Zinc and Quercetin for 2 years. In 2021 3 loved ones had cancer, I researched and put on weight from worry. Jan. 2023 I got sick from illness from my partner from babysitting his toddler grandson so the doctor and nurse parents could work. Turns out that a BMI above 25 can interfere with blood Vitamin D. Mine was fine Dec. 2021, low Dec. 2022 with BMI of 27.5. I was sick for 3 months, have lost 15 lbs. and increased my D3 consumption, and better now.

So if you have a problem, Google search the problem/illness by name and ask for Supplements and Nutrition to help it. NOTE: It was an article posted here by ConservativeMind that clued me into the Vitamin D/BMI issue and solution. Thank you.
