Re: Don't give up Cheryl! to Irish!

Irish!

You are so right in that what works for some may not necessarily work

for others - and the most important thing is staying hydrated and

getting some nutrition in.

My little diatribe wasn't meant for people who are only on a liquid

or blended diet for a short period of time, those people would

survive (but not necessarily heal optimally) even if they drank

nothing but water for up to about 10 days. It's those who are wired

or banded shut for anywhere from 2 to 9 weeks who require

supplementation. For those whose significant others () or

parents are carefully planning menus and cooking and then blending

whole foods, supplementation may not be necessary. But then again it

couldn't hurt!

As far as 'artificial' goes...most people don't know how to read

labels correctly and fail to realize that many of those scary-

sounding ingredients are actually a form of vitamin or mineral!

Hope all is well on your end and you had a wonderful Christmas and

New Year.
