Oh I hated those Cod liver Oil days! But what was a mother to do?! to protect her children?

I choked on a salmon bone at a fancy dinner and had to have it removed at the Emergency Room when I was about 12 – I never fail to think of it when I eat salmon now…and my youngest nearly choked to death on one of those hard round red and white candies they give out at restaurants – She was just walking and I had to use warm water and chest pressure to get it to come out – and upside down as she had already passed out…scary stuff, scary stuff….

Oh yeah! I remember those cod liver days. Ugh! And some other nasty tasting vitamin I used to spit out as soon as I had a chance.

I’m not big into vitamins. Ever since I chocked on a pill years ago and nearly passed out (it was lodged in my throat), I hate taking pills – vitamins included.

Like you, I’ve read how some vitamins don’t even dissolve, but liquid vitamins don’t sound like the answer either if they become rancid so quickly.

What to do?

Yes, we are all different and react differently and with vit.s it is hard to tell until after years and years of use or non- use.

Hip hurrah for diversity and so many good ideas and suggestions.

I swing the other way and avoid too many calcium depleting habits: too much coffee and sweets. I limit myself to 1 cup of coffee a day. Plus, I do a lot of walking and the gluten-free diet increased my bone density by more than 10% after two years. All without supplementation. However… it does make me wonder what the percentage would have been if I had supplemented. I’ll never know.

But we’re all different. You guys have found what works for you and there’s no reason to mess with it; I agree.

Vered,
Good for you….and don’t worry about it too much is very important, because worry and stress defeat your nutrients every time.

What you believe is highly important.

After my mum retired from teaching school – took care of her mother until age 96 ( her grandmother died at 106) She moved into a Senior Center. Her treat was to stop canning, freezing, gardening, and enjoy a restaurant meal weekly. She ate a great deal of chicken, chosen by others. Her breast began growing….
As my children left home, I got her on vitamins and started preparing all her food….and cut her down to eating out on trips. Her health problems went away.

I think we have to be very careful of the American Food Industry and it’s hold on the rest of the world. Even France is starting to indulge in Mac Donald’s more and more…

Media hype is not truth for each body, it is selling a business and making money

I have several Naturopaths on speed dial! I have made appointments with the Bastyr Institute in Green Lake….Yes, the rest of the world is just now catching up to those hallmark early books. Even Michael Pollan on Oprah, promoting his new book, said he takes several vitamins because food is such an iffy way to get nutrients that he needs these days.

It seems to take nearly constant learning and study to keep healthy these days.
