Re: Supplements: When is it too many?

[Guest guest]

hey barb, that is interestng.

i don't have the racy feeling all the time, but i recognise what

you're talking about and i have felt it before, and i can even report

that sometimes it has happened while taking more vitamins than usual.

our livers are working so hard all the time anyway, especially when

we're in a weakened state, so that makes good common sense to me that

ingesting too many vitamins & supplements could make us feel worse,

not better.

let us know how you continue to feel after reducing your vitamin

doseage, i'm intrigued!

Hi Barb.

I was interested to read your email, since I have had similar problems with

that " racy " feeling and finally figured out it happened after I'd had

vitamin and mineral supplements.

I haven't done any research on this, but it makes sense to me that some of

our bodies just don't absorb the extra vitamins and minerals, or can't

process too many at one time. So we have to lower the dosage or reduce the

frequency of the supplements in order for our bodies to better use them and

not overreact.

I'm continually discovering that I have to " fine-tune " every supplement and

medication, to find that level where my body will accept whatever it is and

process it without noticeable side-effects.

So far, it's always about half the dosage of what is recommended, and with a

much lower frequency!

Thanks for sharing , Kim. There's comfort in knowing that others are

having similar experiences, making similar dicoveries.

One thing I have learned here is that so many bodily systems are

affected by the candida. For me, discovering a solution I can do

something about immediately (the " racy " feeling), felt very

encouraging. And we all could use lots of that! Take care.....

p.s. The racy feeling is still gone.....Yeah!..I'm going with the

supplement theory in my case.

Dear Barb,

I have to qualify an earlier statement about the supplements I took.

I only took supplements that met the " muscle test " for my body as

well. And I also used the pendulum to test the amount I should take

every day.

That said, I firmly believe supplements, unless they are trully

concentrated whole foods and herbs, are toxic and foreign to our

bodies. My preference would be to not take any supplements of any

kind. At the moment I can't because there are some important

nutrients I cannot obtain from my foods. Toxic supplements are still

better than not obtaining enough of certain nutrients. And my body

protests loudly if it doesn't get enough of the basics, especially B

Vitamins, Cal/Mag, potassium, vit. c and oil soluble vitamins. And

boy since I started taking fish oils along with coconut oil my skin

has become so soft and supple, like a babies. It's wonderful!

==>In your case the supplement theory sounds correct. However, for

the sake of not misleading others we must remember that everyone is

different. Sometimes when we obtain, and absorb, the " right "

nutrients or nutrient combinations, or the ones we are lacking it

will also alleviate that racy feeling or other similar symptoms.

Muscle testing can help eliminate things that cause it, whether it is

foods, supplements or shampoo. Also consider how important minerals

are. They are the basic buildings blocks of our bodies. For

instance trace minerals are best obtained from " good " water and

Celtic sea salt.
