Does anyone know what "Chromium" supplements help with- I was advised at Health food shop that they might help?

We Answered:

It's commonly used as a diet supplement to help the body metabolize carbohydrates and fats better. But it can also help with regulating blood sugar. If you're having problems with fatigue, the health food store personnel will probably recommend a vitamin B12 supplement. Maybe have your doctor check your B vitamin and iron levels with a blood test before starting any supplementation.

of all the vitamins&minerals on sale in a health food shop, what do you think those who work in one, will use?

We Answered:

I work in one, so maybe I can answer your question. My kitchen counter is covered with supplements. I don't take every one every day, but I take a lot of them.

There is no "one" that is most important. As a physician who shops in my store once said when asked which vitamin should a person take, the answer is "all of them."

Yes, healthy food is essential. But it's not enough.

The reason they are called vitamins is that they are essential to health and not made by the body...they must be gotten from our diet (except for Vitamin D which we can get partially from the sun.)

According to the Journal of Clinical Nutrition, our food has lower levels of nutrients than did the foods from 50 years ago. No matter which nutrient one looks at, today's food is lower.

There are a whole lot of really excellent products out there now. Source of Life multivitamins really work for me. I also love a product called PB-8. It's a probiotic, the best one I've ever tried.

Then there's Miracle 2000, a liquid multi-vitamin that looks horrible, but does a really good job.

Fish oil is another must. Almost everyone, as in 99% of us,
should take a fish oil supplement.

But today, with our poor diets and various health problems, we're really barely scratching the surface. I need cal/mag and St. John's wort and/or 5-HTP. Oh, and let's not forget the digestive enzymes.

Many others will probably need CoQ10, which has recently dropped in price drastically, due to a new facility in TX.

A huge percentage of people in the US, and anywhere antibiotics are popular, need to do a cleanse including one to get rid of yeast overgrowth...in women AND men.

It wouldn't surprise me if this is the #1 cause of our health problems today. It makes us fat, messes up our sinuses bigtime, promotes all sort of digestive problems, diabetes, acne, and on and on.

Without some of those supplements I mentioned previously, and a couple of strong herbs (habeneros pepper and garlic) I would have died a long time ago with Stage 4 cancer. But here I am today...cancer free.

Now here's the irony of it all. I'm home today. Left work early because I could barely walk. I've aggravated a back injury from childhood (broken bones in my back when I was one year's old that healed poorly.)

So something is gonna get ya, one way or the other. LOL!

The best to you.

Craving for Charcoal power from health food shop while pregnant good or bad?

We Answered:

It's called a Pica craving if you want to look it up. It is a sign of low iron. You should ask your do what supplements he/she recommends.

Ramon Said:

Is there any difference in pet Homoeopathic remedies than the ones you buy from the local health food shop.?

We Answered:

The remedies are the same for Humans and Animals. Though not all of the Homeopathic remedies can be used for animals some of them have extremely adverse affects on animals you have to be an experienced Homeopath to treat animals. ARSENICUM ALBUM works wonders in Skin disease of Dogs found it 100% affective in mange so is SULFUR where itching is concerned ARNICA works wonders in treating injuries and trauma and lame horses CALENDULA works wonders in deep gashes and wounds use it in Q (mother tincture potency) BELLADONNA cures spasms and convulsions in almost minutes for thorns and and glass shreds deep in the skin SILICEA in 6X works wonders and so on. NUX VOMICA works wonders for digestive ailments CARBO VEG remedy par excellence in bloating.
The regular dosage for 30C and potencies lower then 30C i.e 3C,6C,12C is 3 times a day 200 once a day, IM once a week, CM once a month. In animals usually potencies 30 and lower ones work better. And don't mind the paid goons of the pharmaceutical industry they are just good for giving Thumbs Down to all Alternative medicine answers after all its the biggest threat to their livlihood they cant seem to grasp the meaning of the word CURE all they can do is peddle habit forming drastic chemicals which you have to take all your life one after the other and make you sicker then what you were before you started taking them and the have the audacity to call that stuff "Medicine". My pity for their intelligence and my heartfelt sympathies for their ignorance. God bless them with the wisdom to recognize truth where they see it
If you need any help treating your Dogs feel free to ask and I would be happy to help you.

Take Care and God Bless

The Health Food Shop had a sign on the door that said "Closed do to illness!" What's up with that?

We Answered:

They probably didn't want to post the true reason , the one that the Health Inspector came around and condemned the building . There are some healthy rats and cockroaches milling around there. And the mice! At night they mix up protein shakes and work out. That's what you'd call a Mighty Mouse
