How do I live healthy?

[Guest guest]

Hello To All,

I first want to say thanks to everyone

who contributes with all of the wonderful and exciting information. I

joined the group with little or no knowledge other than I wanted to

be more health conscious and recycle a bit. To my amazement I REALLY

want to change the life of myself and my family after being in this

group.

 

I was so excited I went a little overboard and jumped right into a no

smoking and detox plan without enough information. I have now calmed

down a little and started educating myself. I am still working on the

smoking (harder than I thought) and food.

 

Here are the steps I have taken since the new year begun and thoughts

and suggestions would be helpful.

 

Found an organic store and learning to go all natural or organic in

the food department.

 

Getting rid of the cleaning supplies and learning to use safe

homemade cleaning aides.

 

Exercising 3 times a week (wasn't doing that at all)

 

At night the kids and myself are drinking organic honey & lemon in

hot water, hubby adds apple cider vinegar to his.

 

Taking the following all natural supplements: (me & hubby)

 

Flax seed oil 1000mg -once a day (recommends 2 to 3 a day)

dry skin

Joint Support Complex -one soft gel a day (recommends 3) hubby

knee, my leg

Cat's Claw 540 mg-once a day(recommends 2 to 3 capsules 3 times a

day) smoking (do they mean 9 a day?)

 

Permarin 0.65- once a day (had complete hyst)

 

Also Juice Plus - one of each a day (recommends 2 a day)

 

So what I need to know ........how do I know when it is safe to mix

supplements?

Is ok to take less than the recommend dosage?

Do I take them forever or until the problem goes away?

 

 

There is so much to do and change that as excited as I am, it's a

little overwhelming. What changes are the most important to begin

with?

 

Thanks so much for your help in advance!!

 

All hints, tips and ideals welcome!

Hi Susan,

Good for you!

 

Some of the supplements you will take for a short

while and others you would want to take longer term

such as the joint complex. YOu can take lesser amounts

but will not have the necessary effect. Yes it would

be 9 capsules a day.

 

The smoking may need something more like Biofeeback or

hypnotherapy which are both very effective in smoking

cessation. Also a clay bath for smokers detox.

 

Flax seed oil you can take 1 TBS high lignen 2 times a

day mixed into cottage cheese instead of so many

pills.

 

Best to start with essentials and then add in other

things. Nurtition is the best point to start with. It

looks like you have made a good start. Minerals, EFA's

and amino acids will help. Bragg's Aminos you can get

and mix into your food after you have prepared not

before you cook. It's like adding soy sauce or

worstershire sauce.

 

Lots of water with proper minerals and electrolytes.

 

Good Luck,

Jenny Kernan

Wow- sounds like you are really moving in the right direction- kudos

to you!

Mainly trial and error- and asking others. There are some

references available, but there are so many supplements and new ones

coming on the market, that its impossible to for any reference to

list them all, and what affects some people, doesn't affect others.

 

 

> Is ok to take less than the recommend dosage?

 

I generally figure recommended is a guideline, not a hard and fast

rule. By all means try a lower dose, then build up. Keep in mind

that some supplements are really more preventive, so you may not

feel a difference, which doesn't mean it isn't working.

 

> Do I take them forever or until the problem goes away?

 

Depends on why you're taking them. For instance, Juice Plus is

something that is not designed to treat a particular problem, but is

instead an " insurance policy " for getting adequate nutrition. You

might easily choose to stay on it (or an alternate supplement that

acomplishes the same thing) for the rest of your life, or you could

end up changing your diet so much that you no longer feel the need

for an insurance policy, as you eat sufficient organic fruits and

veggies. I don't eat enough fruits and veggies, so I prefer to take

an insurance policy, which in my case is called Lifeshots. For your

knee/leg problem, you might find that you need to take a higher dose

to get the problem under control, and then can back down to a lower

dose for maintenance once the problem has subsided.
