I really appreciated your email on this topic.

I think that it is very important to have someone do kinesiology on every

vitamin/suppliment to make sure that your body is positively responsive to it.

If it is incompatible with your body, it doesn't really matter what ingredients

are in it.

The original question was: Does anyone have information as to the

reliability of Vitamin Shoppe

products?

It was posted in relation to my post about a product they carry for another

manufacturer. They also carry well respected Fish Oils and some say

respected Flax Oils and a host of herbs etc..... Kyolic Garlic et al...etc.

The 'I have heards' response can be dangerous because it plants the seed and

lets our own imaginations water it. Some of my posts often included,

" some say " however usually in a different context. The 'natural' vs.

'synthetic' vitamin discussion is forever popping up and it seems most of us

would prefer, if we could, to obtain all of our nourishment from wholesome

organic food. That is the preferable way. However it is not

available to everyone nor can it be afforded by everyone. Additionally

we have to hope it is what we think we are buying.

I checked on a couple of 'food based vitamin sites'................. I

find a problem with them. Lots of claims and I for one cannot verify them

any more than most people can verify whether or not XXZ drug is dangerous

or not. One site rips Ascorbic Acid to shreds and yet many of the

'leading' alternative practitioners can't get enough Ascorbic Acid into us.

To believe those nay-Sayers, one need throw Linus ing out the door.

Sorry, I'm not buying that pap.

In the past I have checked out a couple of 'natural vitamin' sites and found

that when I checked the ingredient list.............viola, synthetic

vitamins are used! That does not mean that all of them use synthetic

vitamins? I do not know! However, I am afraid that field might also

have its share of propagandists.

In fact, I am sure this list too has a couple of 'associates' providing

information on products which many of us cannot verify.

For those seeking a price break Vitamin Shoppe stores are an excellent place

to shop and do not hesitate to check Swansons and Doctor's Trust on-line

for name-brand items. For example, those interested in a highly touted

Fiber product called ProFibe can find it at Doctor's Trust much less

expensive than anywhere else. They also have Turmeric Force, a 'natural'

-2 inhibiter and one with lots of Curcuminoids listed on the label and

lower cost than most.

If some scientist or respected Cancer researcher wants to educate us on

vitamin quality..............have at it..............we need it.

I've just started DR Budwig's protocol and I wondered if it works for prostate

cancer

>>> When I first joined the flaxseedoil2 group, I thought they only

talked about prostate cancer.... we were interested in the other healing aspects

of Dr Budwig's protocol.

I suggest you join that group and read the FILES section and also get her two

books translated into English (the others are in German) from amazon.com.

Hope this helps
