Vitamins

[Guest guest]

Check the archives. We had a big discussion on this just a few months ago.

Somebody (sorry can't remember who!) very helpfully listed all the ingredients

and we had a comparison of several brands. Very interesting and informative.

I take the Women's One-A-Day. I get a big jar at

costco but I'd imagine you could get them at any

grocer/drugstore.

Hi Kathi,

I tried to lay the bottle of One Source on the copy machine, but that didn't

work. Darn the round bottle!! There is a phone number on the bottle for

information. Perhaps they can fax or email you the Supplement Fact. The number

is 1-866-293-5835.

Be well,

Felice

I dont think anything happened to the One Source vitamins that Dr R suggests we

take. They are to big for me to swallow, so I have found something that closely

compares to the One source and I take those. The woman asking this question

does not shop at Walmart, so she was asking if there were any good alternatives.

Re: vitamins

Kathy,

I use the Target brand multi vitamin, very cheap and very close to the

OneSource label.

Hi Kathi,

I've asked a few different bariatric people what they take for

vitamens as I have a really hard time taking enough of them and

getting the big pills down. I tried the samples called Optisource

from Novartis, they are chewables and have minerals as well. I like

these the best so far. You can order from Wallgreen's on line and

they have free shipping.

CVS brand multis, with or without iron, are about the size of an aspirin. much

easier to take than 'horse pills'. after seeing these it makes me wonder how

much filler is in other vitamin brands???

I would like to hear from other MGB'ers who have tried OPC- the isotonic

vitamins and antioxidants that you mix with water . I can tell the difference

between my other vitamins and OPC.

Sondra,

Do you now what the iron levels are in the chewables? I thought the problem

with chewables and liquids was that they didn't contain enough iron, so you

might need to supplement that.

I suggest you stop tenderfooting this process. Forget that you know

it's " yucky " . Hold your kid down if necessary - but it won't be

necessary, you'll see. Don't make a big deal about it and she won't

either.

Also, The pills are more stable than the liquid. I suggest the pills

only. If you're not seeing results, it could be you are either not

giving her enough or the liquid isn't as effective as the pills

(which is also liquid but encapsulated). If she is experiencing ear

problems (most of us do) you know the problems are layered (and

another " clue " vaccine injury). You must look toward the biomed

autism community to research further www.generationrescue.com.

Doesn't matter what dx she has or has not... they are all vaccine

injured (imo).

Get the teaspoon dropper (many of them) at the local grocery store.

Cut/clip with very pointy scissors found in sewing stores. Put this

in the dropper... all of them together. You DO NOT NEED to give her

juice to mask the taste. Get her used to one full dropper of

vitamins.

I would do 2 efa's and 1 epa and E - put it all together. In the

beginning, I ramped it up to 3'x's daily.

My boy went from 50 unintellible words to short phrases in 3 months

(he was 3.5). I started the diet gf/cf and a long list of biomeds.

Went through the conventional Dr.s AND overpriced therapist maze of

uslessness - read every day / all day. It's a learning curve, get to

a DAN! forget the dev ped, ped neuro...they offer little to NO

valuable insight. Unless, of course you want a label and a script

for spec ed for life.

These kids are toxic and only the DAN! and a few select others ie.

naturalpaths, homeopathic, chriopractors have a clue... but no one

knows our kids better than the DAN Dr.s. Be sure to get an active

one, I had that experience too. Talk to other parents and fly if

necessary to get to one. And pay the bill with satisfaction knowing

you are finally on the path to actually healing your child.

You want a band aid or do you want to heal?

a little more than you asked for... best wishes!

I am curious. I know from other posts that you have a vaccine-injured

daughter. Your son too?

Natural versus synthetic. d-alpha is natural, but dl-alpha is synthetic.

Funny, I took vitamins when detoxing. I think I

would be dead if I had not done that. I was not absorbing my nutrients.

It's confusing what to do Cherie. Seems like everything I read on

the internet relating to treating yeast contradicts each other! My

massage therapist said when you detox, especially w/ a far infared

sauna or ionic foot bath, it can detox minerals and vitamins along

with it. So, she gives me a multi-vitamin w/ an alpha lipoic acid

which I take with water mixed w/ powdered Vit C and powdered

glutathione after each session.

Ph,

Your right, I read the same thing. I feel my body needs them and I

want to detox by listening to what body tells me it needs. My body

likes to talk to me LOUDLY! I'm finally cathing on....

Thanks for the info!

I forgot to tell you all you have to mention is when ordering your vitamins is Primal Defense web site and there is no shipping its the same cost as apple a day that Rogene was saying. there is no shipping on 100.00or more and believe me I order in advance its not to hard to spend 100.00 with vitamins big bottle and green superfood.

Hello All: I have been taking 3 children's multi vitamins daily - but just

Unless I missed something in my 4+ yrs post-op, I thought we were supposed

to take adult vitamins since children's vitamins are nutritionally

I am 10 months post-op and have been taking IsotonixR MultiTechT with

Iron, for 7 months now and I feel great, as well as my blood work has

been great. It is a powder vitamin that you take first thing in the

morning on and empty stomach. Your system is supposed to absorb it

within 5 minutes, so it seems like it would be good for us MBGer's! I

only take it once a day, but when I have my blood work done again for my

1 yr, if any levels have dropped, even slightly, I plan on taking them

twice a day. I hate taking pills, and besides, pill vitamins never

dissolve all the way. So far it has worked for me!

Vitamins

Hello All: I have been taking 3 children's multi vitamins daily - but

just can't seem to stand them anymore. I am 2 1/2 years post-op. What

would be a good swallow pill to take??

Thank you

Do you have problems swalloing a full sized vitamin? Is that why you

were taking the children's? I take the ones recommended by Dr. R and

my lab work is always pretty close to perfect ... B12 is a little low

sometimes as well as iron. There is no way my labs would be this good

with children's vits....

I couldn't swallow the Wal-Mart One Source vitamins, so I take four

Flintstone's Complete chewables daily. My bloodwork came back from

the lab and everything is great, (I even get extra Iron with the

Flintstones than I would have with the One source) so thankfully,

they are working for me.

Hi Dee

For Vitamin C (250g powder), Probiotics and Fish Oil (EPA), I buy the

Biocare brand through UK seller http://www.yournutritionshop.co.uk/

For CoQ10 and L-Carntine, I buy via US seller

http://www.wholehealth.com/index.cfm?CFID=1778303 & CFTOKEN=33905703

For a multi-vitamin, I buy via US seller

https://secure.endfatigue.com/store/products/supplements/

Dee you will probably be able to find cheaper sources. I prefer to pay

a little bit more for the well-known brands.

Let me know where you buy your vitamins in the end as I am always

interested.
