MINERAL OIL and other supplements

February 14, 2008

I was told that mineral oil should be taken with caution as it can

be easily injested into the lungs and cause pneumonia. I tried it

but it did not help me. Its also very messy. I also was told it

strips your body of nutrients and vitamins and you have to replace

them. I was told this by a dr. and also someone in this group. I

guess you have to try it all as to me its expermenting with

different things until you get the right one. Kind of scarey to me

as some of these things I never heard of but I do do research and

even the research is not all safe and some of the information I

can't understand as you have to be a chemist. Like MOM it saids do

not take more than 1 week unless under drs supervision. Really whats

out there that is safe? I can't take magnesium. It gives me stomach

pain. Besides why would you take something and keep increasing it

until you get diarrhea and then cut back and if it doesn't work when

you cut back you increase it again and is this good to put your body

thru. I tried lactulose and was told it would not affect my blood

sugar but it did and I became so sick and had diarrhea and tried

cutting it down and it really messed up my blood sugar as I am hypo.

I went back on miralax as aloe vera made me so constipated it sent

me to the ER with a bad impaction and I was taking it 2 times a day

and was told to stop it. right now I'm cooling it and will start

trying again. Even epsom salts did not help.Epsom salts has warnings

on the box like don't take if you have kidney problems or are on a

redtricted magnesium diet. i had kidney stones but tried it anyway

as its been years since my kidney stones and it did nothing for me

so you have to be careful with anything. Like i said who do you

believe? I even tried triphalia with no results. Getting disgusted

but still trying. marg
