I think you are right about the hard pills. I crushed a calcium pill & put the powder into my hot coffee thinking it would dissolve. Well I had to go out & didn’t finish the coffee. When I came home I finished the cup & there at the bottom of the cup was the crushed pill & it was like sand. It never dissolved at all. I can’t imagine how that would be good for you other than real roughage!

I found a delicious Blueberry flavored Calcium at COSTCO. The brand is Reviva & they also have a good Tropical Fruit flavored Multiple Vitamin as well.

One tip to make swallowing pills easier. If you find they get stuck in the back of the throat it's because your throat/mouth is dry.Drink a small sip of water BEFORE you take the pills. Then try taking them with the water.Also they make calcium in a powder which could be put in smoothies.What about fish oil in a liquid form?Carlson's is a good quality and it decent tasting.http://www.vitacost.com/Carlson-The-Very-Finest-Fish-OilTonyOn 9/21/2011 2:22 AM, Amico wrote:

I read that during WWII, I believe, there was a shortage of blood & in the islands they discovered that they could use coconut milk for transfusions. I think it must have been equivalent to plasma. Would seem that there would be some kind of way to separate your blood so that someone could benefit from it. What a shame for it to go to wastel

I have severe dry eye (from RA) and my eye docs at s Hopkins have me on fish oil they told me to get Twinlab Norwegian Cod Liver Oil. They said because they did not contain heavy metals. I get them at Drugstore.com and they are quite small and easy to swallow. I take three a day.

You can easily replace most supplements, and flax seed is far better (and tastier) than fish oil, which mostly comes from farmed fish, so is not really healthy at all. Flax has the same beneficial omegas.

You will love it in the juice or even in a smoothie I’m sure. It really is delicious. Sometimes I’ll take 2 teaspoons in the morning & again in the evening to meet the 2 T daily.

That's a great tip. Thanks. I'm going to get the Reviva. I've never had Blueberry Pom juice either. I'll have to try that. I love blueberries and eat them almost everyday.

I love COSTCO. I was choking on Calcium pills but found Reviva Liquid Calcium that is Blueberry flavored at COSTCO for about $12 a bottle. I mix the daily dose of 2 T into a glass of Ocean Spray Blueberry Pomegranate juice & don’t even know I’m taking it. It’s delicious but thick on it’s own. The juice makes it a joy. And, now that can go into the Vitamix as well. LOL

I won’t have my vitamix for about 10 days. I just ordered it yesterday. I’m chomping at the bit. I am holding myself back from going to the produce department!

You know , I have often wondered about that craving iron rich foods, when you have too much iron (which really can kill you) all iron becomes trapped in your liver, they say that in turn you manufacture way more blood than your body needs, and you feel tired and lithargic all the time. I tell them every time I go for a blood draw, for some anemic person this would be like liquid gold, but they draw it and throw it away, because the blood is actually to thick they have to use a larger needle to get it out. I do feel much better after the draw. It is short lived. I have found online there are some I think Amino acids that are used in Chelation therapy that you can take that is suppose to help clear some iron from your body. They tell you right away there is nothing you did to cause Polysythemia or Hemochromatosis some nice ancestor was born with a bad gene or chromasone that causes your body to store so much Iron. On the Co Q 10 I will look into that, I started buying the 300mg gelcaps at Costco because they had them for 25.00 for 75 pills and this month they have them on sale for 7.00 off, limit of 5 bottles ( YEARS SUPPLY)

You don't have a magic natural food or product that can help get rid of Iron in the body do you? I know for the most part they say that you cannot get rid of Iron hence the problem , that and having 1 quart of blood taken off every 4 weeks. (yes you are reading that right a pint every 2 weeks)
