> Dear Bee, today I received my supplements from iHerb that you helped me order

over the phone on Monday. I'm so excited. Is there a certain time of day that

is best to take them.

+++Hi Phyllis. That's wonderful you've got them now.

Take all supplements with complete meals that contain at least protein and good

fats.

Luv, Bee

Hello Crystal

I get my supplements from iherb and they are really not expensive. I get NOW

brand for my vitamin B, vitamin C, magnesium, calcium and vitamin A. For vitamin

E I get NATURAL FACTORS brand, for niacin I get SOLGAR and for cod liver oil I

get GARDEN OF LIFE.

My coconut oil is from a company named TIANA that is in UK and since I live in

Europe that was better for me as far as the price is concerned. But for you

(assuming you live in US, I think that nutiva has good prices - check it out!)

Bee says that we cannot avoid all soy, and that the soy that the supplements

contain is not in such an amount that could hurt us. My vitamin A has soy and

Bee said it is just fine. It is in traces, and it is better to take it than not

to.

Hope that helps

+++There are many good brands of " nutritional yeast flakes " but I don't know if

ALL of them are okay. Brands that I know are good are: NOW, Red Star, and

Frontier. Here's the NOW brand at iHerb: http://tinyurl.com/ktubea

Hi Collen

Bee would like to see a 1:1 ratio on Cal/Mag and I like the Now brand powder as

there is nothing else in it and it tastes fine with caffeine free herb tea. I'll

wait for her to wake and give you the news on the soybean oil. I try to buy the

sups w/o the extra stuff in it. Made some errors early on like garlic oil in

soybean oil.

Colleen,

aspartic acid?? Yipes! That is a definate no no! It is highly toxic and triggers

migrane headaches in many people. It is also known as " aspartame. "

+++Hi Colleen. Like Neal wrote you need to buy calcium and magnesium citrate

separately, and they need to be taken in equal amounts, which is 300 mg of each

twice a day with meals.

If you live in North America you can get the correct cal/mag citrate supplements

from iHerb: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/resource/iherb.php

NOW foods brand calcium citrate and magnesium citrate powders are the best.

Your vitamin A is okay since it does say it is from " fish liver oil " so the

amount of soy will be small.

Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil is okay, but be sure to add up the amount of EPA and DHA

in each capsule so you can determine how many capsules you need to take.

Is there a reason you aren't taking cod liver oil instead of those 2 products?

The best, Bee

Hi Nan,

Aspartic acid is an amino acid, but whether it could be made into aspartame, by

processing, or by your own body, is another subject for research.

I thought I was suppose to take fish oil and vitamin A in the summer and cod

liver in the winter?

If I can take cod liver oil now then I would just return the salmon fish oil.

> Hello Bee- My name is Lourdes and I live in the U.S.A- I have started out

slowly on the candida diet- Now I want to add the recommended supplements, I've

read the info. on them and I just want to make sure that I'm getting the right

ones for myself and family. Can you please let me know if the following are the

right ones?

>

> Is Tropical Traditions CO a good brand to buy?

+++Hi Lourdes. Yes, Tropical Traditions is good, but ensure you buy the ones

that are unrefined, undeodorized, unbleached, etc., since they also offer one

that is refined.

>

> What is the best brand I can buy of the vitamin E?

+++Natural Factors Clear Base Vitamin E, available at iHerb:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/resource/iherb.php

>

> What is the brand of vitamin C I can buy and in what form is it most absorbed

by the body?

+++Buy Natural Factors Vitamin C tablets, also from iHerb.

>

> Is the vitamin B better in tablets or yeast flakes? And what brand is best.

+++Some people do not like the taste of Nutritional Yeast Flakes, but it is just

as good as a tablet. Natural Factors has Hi Potency B Complex which is good.

>

> Since it is summer now, should I still take CLO or fish oil? And what is the

best brand you recommend? Do I have to take a separate vitamin A or D?

+++I think it is almost impossible to get enough sun exposure to make vitamin D

on the skin, so I take CLO all year - here's the requirements for making enough

vitamin D on the skin: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/sun.php

+++The best CLO is Garden of Life available at iHerb. You then have 2 options

for taking it:

1) Take 2 tablespoons daily OR

2) Take 1 tablespoon daily plus a fish " liver " oil capsule that contains 10,000

IU vitamin A & 400 IU vitamin D, i.e. halibut, cod, or shark.

Since Garden of Life only contains 8 ounces and taking 2 tbsp. will use it up in

8 days, you need to buy more at a time.

>

> Is the NOW brand the one you recommend for Cal/Mag?And if so, is it 300 mg of

each in that brand?

+++NOW brand powdered calcium and magnesium citrate are best, and you measure

out the amount that equals 300 mg of each, taken twice a day - they are also

available at iHerb.

>

> Can I eat saurakraut made by EDEN instead of taking HCI?

+++No, Eden sauerkraut isn't made properly; instead buy a good unpasteurized

sauerkraut which would be in the fridge section at the health store, or make

your own. Also do not buy Bubbies products. Yes, you can eat sauerkraut

instead of taking hydrochloric acid supplements, but you might need to ensure

you have enough with each meal.

>

> I got some stevia but not sure if it's the right one- It's made by NOW and

saids certified organic stevia extract and it's white powder.

+++No, that is a processed products, so that's why it is white. Only buy the

actual ground-up green leaf, which will be green and powdered. I buy it from my

health store from their bulk supply. You can also order the right kind from

Mountain Rose Herbs: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/resource/mrh1.php

Or from Wilderness Family Naturals:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/resource/wfn1.php

>

> And also can my boys ages 5 and 8 take all of the above?

+++For children's doses see this article:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/baby.php

+++Generally children older than 18 months and under 12 years old take 1/3rd of

adult doses.

>

> Thank You so much for your site and time. I believe this will get me better.

+++Yes, you can get better for sure! You can't go wrong following Nature's

Fundamental Laws on health by providing your body with what it needs to heal

itself naturally.

All the best, Bee

+++Hi Colleen. Yes, in a way that is correct, but I believe it is extremely

difficult to get enough vitamin D from sun exposure - see this:

Hi Bee- Thank you for your responds back to me regarding the supplements to

order. I put in my order today with iherb using your discount code. While I was

on that site I saw that Garden of life also has a new line called Ocean 3 and I

was wondering if you also recommend that one because my husband wants to take

the CLO in a capsule not liquid. What do you recommend?

Thanks,

Lourdes

[Guest guest]

Hi Bee- Here is the link to the garden of life's new line of codliver oil

spx

I'm currently taking the recommended CLO that you recommend, but my husband

does not like the liquid, and was wondering if he can take the oceans3 CLO

because it comes in a softgel caps., and I also wanted to ask if the oceans

3 CLO is good to take then is it ok to use the tangerine flavor vs the lemon

mint.

Thanks for all your help and advice,

Lourdes

+++Oceans 3 CLO mainly contains omega 3, but not enough vitamins A & D, so he

needs to take Garden of Life Olde World Icelandic CLO instead. If he doesn't

like the taste, put a drop or two of peppermint oil, or some other flavor he

likes, to take it.

Thanks Bee- I know that orange juice isn't allowed on the diet, but my

husband is only able to take the CLO if he puts it in like 2TBSP of O.J,

Will this amount everyday really set him back alot or is there another brand

of CLO that comes in a capsule form.

+++Hi Lourdes. It is better that he take CLO than be concerned about only 2

tbsps. of O.J. However, it would be much better to take CLO in lemon, lime or

grapefruit juice instead, since they are lower in sugars than O.J.

Hi Nisan,

I too struggle with the CLO, I can't stand the taste, but I find that if I take

a deep breath, hold my nose whilst I take it and then immediately drink several

gulps of the electrolyte drink and eat something before drawing breath, it

becomes bearable! Hope this helps.

[Guest guest]

Credible tests on supplements typically give a positive result close to

placebo or chance. But you will find tons of anecdotal evidence for

taking everything under the sun that anyone can make a buck from selling

to you. Unless you live in an impoverished third world country then you

probably don't need supplements unless your diet is atrocious; and maybe

not even then.

Luck,

..

> Hi i have been out today and managed to get all the right supps including the

coconut oil (virgin) i have for dinner red and yellow peppers in coconut oil and

garlic,

+++Hi Emma. You should be eating meats or eggs with every meal, along with

vegetables.

Then took my supps now i have a burning feeling in my stomach with gurgling

noises does this mean im not producing enough hydrchloric acid or not enough.

+++Yes it seems as if you need hydrochloric acid supplements. Please read the

Improve Digestion section in my candida article:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/intro2.php#s27

> P.s i feel better most days if i dont eat, because when i do eat it makes me

feel sick.

+++Many people who have candida have the same problem as you do my friend. It

is very important that you discipline yourself to eat enough foods every day

since it is the nutrition that is going to heal your body. Ensure you always

have protein, fats and vegetables every meal.

+++You probably need to take hydrochloric acid supplements.

The best, Bee

> I have a few questions:

> 1. With Betaine HCL is it okay if it has pepsin in it? And I take one 30 min

after a meal, and 2 after the next meal until I get that burning sensation,

correct?

+++Yes pepsin is okay. Yes, you keep taking 1 more with each meal until you get

the burning, and then you know to take 1 less. Also some meals don't need as

much HCl, like Bee's Egg Drink.

>

> 2. I could only find Niacin in 100 mg, it's a capsule so it's difficult to

divide it, can I just take the 100 mg once in the morning? How do you recommend

increasing up to 400 mg?

+++If you take that much you will experience a severe niacin flush, which is not

dangerous but it is uncomfortable. Dump out the capsule and take less by mixing

it in a little water - it tastes a little sour but it isn't a bad taste. Some

people need to start on less than 50 mg, i.e. 25 mg.

>

> 3. I am having a difficult time getting the right ratio with the calcuim and

magnesium. Magnesium I found in 200 mg per pill, so I just cut that in half to

get 300.

+++You mean you cut one in half to get 100 mg and also take a 200 mg pill,

right?

But calcuim I ordered the capsules that you recommended, I know you said I can

open it and pour it out. That did not work out. So instead I'm taking 250 mg

calcium, and 300 mg magnesium twice a day. Is that okay?

+++You need 100 mg more of calcium, so dump out 1 capsule and put 1/2 of it in a

tablespoon, add a little very warm water to the spoon and down it.

>

> 4. With the virgin coconut oil, I'm only up to 1 and a half tsp. Can I just

take the coconut oil by itself. It tastes good! When I am having larger amounts

can I mix it with stevia and cinnamon and stick in the fridge for " treats " ?

+++Yes, you can take it by the spoonfuls if you wish. It is also the best

cooking oil, and you can pour it over cooked meats and vegetables along with

butter.

+++It's okay to mix it with stevia and cinnamon, but be careful since cinnamon

is antifungal and too much stevia isn't good, so that depends upon how much you

add.

All the best, Bee

[Guest guest]

I received no reaction at all from taking 100 mg of niacin at one time. So does

that mean I'm okay with taking it once a day?

So if I dump out half of the calcium, can I save the rest for later? So then

I'll be taking 600 mg of magnesium and 625 of calcium?

+++You will react, but it takes time since your good fats have to bet up high

enough so toxins and radiation will release. So be cautious since one day you

will react.

Oh yes, do save the other half for later.

[Guest guest]

So it's okay to take 100mg at once? I really don't like having to split capsules

open!

harmful to take more than 50 mg at a time, if that is what you are asking?
