Vitamins and minerals are \u00a0important to prevent \u00a0disease and \u00a0 retard aging.<\/p>\n

Many, many books have been written about which vitamins and minerals we should all be taking. \u00a0An early \u00a0draft of \u00a0my book “A Healer’s Handbook” \u00a0 had much information included in the chapters. \u00a0 I was uncomfortable with the information and removed it. \u00a0It took months\/years to assemble the information and get it in the manuscript. \u00a0It took only a few minutes to delete it. \u00a0I’ve never regretted that move.<\/p>\n

Years later, the book is now out…without the information. \u00a0 I’m still happy with that decision.<\/p>\n

That being said,\u00a0I’m now going to share information about some nutritional supplements with you. \u00a0This information is based on my own research, what I’ve learned over many years. \u00a0I’m offering my professional opinion here. \u00a0You may not, probably will not, agree with any or all I present. \u00a0That’s okay. \u00a0The whole subject is very controversial.<\/p>\n

The controversy is based on differing opinions between science-based and belief-based groups. \u00a0These 2 groups of people \u00a0see supplements in different ways. \u00a0Belief based people see supplements as natural products which:<\/p>\n

promote health<\/p>\n

overcome dietary deficiencies<\/p>\n

are preferable to FDA products.<\/p>\n

Science-based groups see supplements as being:<\/p>\n

of questionable value<\/p>\n

and of questionable safety.<\/p>\n

I could continue on about this conflict for another 10,000 words…but I’m not.<\/p>\n

There are many, many supplements out there. \u00a0The questions to ask yourself are 2:<\/p>\n

Which of these products \u00a0should I take and how often?<\/p>\n

I recommend that, whatever you choose, make sure the products come from reputable companies whose products are routinely tested by independent laboratories for purity. \u00a0You want to be able to purchase a vitamin, mineral, or other supplement, \u00a0 composed of chemicals which are listed on the label.<\/p>\n

You want your supplements to be manufactured by companies which have independent laboratories buy their vitamins or supplements off the shelf, test them in their own facilities, and publish the results.<\/p>\n

There are many, many books out there recommending vitamins, minerals, etc. \u00a0The authors of these books will list the products and then tell you how much and when to take them. \u00a0I won’t \u00a0duplicate this information. \u00a0What I’m doing is telling you what I use, and why I use it. \u00a0Nobody is paying me to recommend these products to you. \u00a0I’m not selling them, either.<\/p>\n

These are simply \u00a0the best products I can find.<\/p>\n

The first product is one that I feel virtually everyone should be taking.<\/p>\n

Wiley’s Finest Wild Alaskan Fish Oil is an Omega-3 Oil. \u00a0It’s processed from Alaskan Pollack grown in a well managed fishery. \u00a0The fish is turned into oil and purified, then bottled and shipped out. \u00a0This Omega 3 Oil is 100% American made.<\/p>\n

If you can’t find Wiley’s Finest Wild Alaskan Fish Oil in a store near you, contact Village Apothecary, Woodstock, NY, 12498 and they’ll ship it to you.<\/p>\n

I’m really sold on Omega 3 oils. \u00a0If you are only going to take one thing…make it Wiley’s Finest Wild Alaskan Fish Oil.<\/p>\n

Everyone recommends multivitamins. \u00a0A multivitamin is a basic in our culture now. Like all the other health care professionals, nutritionists, etc. I recommend that we all, at least, take multivitamins.<\/p>\n

I take multivitamins every day with lunch.<\/p>\n

The multivitamin I take is manufactured in Boulder, Colorado by Nutriplex, a woman-owned, organic company. \u00a0All Nutriplex products offer whole food nutrition with superior quality and nutritional standards. \u00a0All Nutriplex products are formulated from evidence-based research.<\/p>\n

The name of the Nutriplex multivitamin is Whole Food.<\/p>\n

I take 3 Nutriplex products daily:<\/p>\n

BFood<\/p>\n

Whole Food<\/p>\n

Promin.<\/p>\n

Whole Food is the multivitamin that everyone recommends. \u00a0.<\/p>\n

BFood is a formula offering B-vitamin nutrition.<\/p>\n

I take other nutritional products as well, but these are the basic ones I take. \u00a0I rely on these products to do the job they need to do.<\/p>\n

I hope you feel the same way about the supplements you take.<\/p>\n
