Guest guest Posted November 24, 2001 Report Share Posted November 24, 2001 Dear Holley, GNC doesn't always carry all the different herbs and supplements that you may need. You will have better luck at your local health food store or a natural nutrition store. They are listed in the phone book under " Health Food Products-Retail " You will probably find numerous natural health stores this way. The sales people are usually quite knowledgable about what products they carry. You can also go online to The Vitamin Shoppe or another company like it and order online.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2001 Report Share Posted November 29, 2001 There is a physician in the UK who has been recommending the use of megadoses of Vitamin E for CP. Many thought he was plain crazy, but current thinking is in agreement with him. I came across his site a few years ago by using www.google.com. I keyed in " chronic pancreatitis. " There is a very active pancreatitis support group there as well. -E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 29, 2001 Report Share Posted November 29, 2001 , I have found all the natural antioxidants in the quantities listed for the Manchester Royal Infirmary Antioxidant Therapy, from a local health store and pharmacy. They are capsules " free of corn, yeast, soy, wheat and dairy products and are formulated without the use of preservatives, artificial flavors or colors " and the capsules themselves are called Vegicaps, made solely of vegetable sources. Since I started taking them on a daily basis, in the exact quantities listed in the study, I HAVE NOT HAD ANY PAIN! Nothing, not a twinge, for over two weeks straight. I still take my enzymes, too, when eating, but since I started the antioxidants my pain meds have been collecting dust on the bathroom cabinet. I am so very, very encouraged by this, and I do hope that someone else will try this out and have the same success. I have my next ct-scan on the 5th and will meet with my doctor after he gets the results. I'm anxious to see what he has to say about my progress with this therapy.
