I've never really given them a try before, beyond the occasional multivitamin when I haven't been eating well. I've always read that they're unnecessary as long as one eats a balanced diet. As a hardened cheapskate, that's good enough for me.
A couple weeks ago I got seriously ill to the point where I couldn't function and contemplated a visit to the hospital. My MA teacher is very much into Natural Living and had offered to hook me up with some resources, so I gave him a call. He passed me along to a "nutritional consultant" and we had a long talk. I was a little skeptical but eager to get back to my regular life, so off I went to Whole Foods.
$100+ and a few days later, I snapped back more quickly and solidly than I ever had before. Wow! I know the pharmaceutical changes I made through my regular doctor can claim a lot of the credit, but ... there's no question the supplements made a difference. I'm a believer, and I'll keep taking them indefinitely to stay on firmer footing.
If anyone's willing to jump in, I'd be curious what supplements others are using and how they help. I've been taking Omega-3, magnesium, and something called Holy Basil. And I got a water filter for my faucet. It tastes soooo much better than regular tap. :burp:
Thanks for reading.
