Supplement Safety
  • Avoid supplements that have magnesium stearate and calcium stearate which are chalks--what you would use on a blackboard. It
    causes the intestines, to protect itself from the chalk, to create a "bio-foam" that inhibits the absorption of the very vitamin or
    mineral contained within the supplement!
  • Supplements that include soy oil, or safflower oil, contain a high level of pesticides, not to mention, are unhealthy vegetable oils.
  • Avoid supplements that have titanium dioxide as this is a poison known to cause auto-immune disorders. Note that this chemical is
    the main active ingredient in sunscreen. That is why commercial suncreens should never be used.
  • Make sure the supplement says: Contains NO sugar, starch, artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, corn, soy, yeast, wheat, grain,
    gluten, fillers, additives, egg or milk products.
  • The purest supplements seem to be in liquid and powder form.



Recommended Vitamins, Minerals and Essentially Fatty Acids
  • The supplements recommended below are almost entirely free of magnesium and calcium stearate, titanium dioxide, soybean oil,
    safflower oil, and "contains NO, etc."

Mineral Summary
  1. Major Minerals - There are only seven (7) macrominerals required by the body in amounts of 200 mg or more per day – all of the
    rest of the minerals are only required in "trace"amounts:
  •        Calcium 400mg twice a day (800mg)
  •        Magnesium 400mg twice a day (800mg)
  •        Chloride and Sodium- 1 teaspoon Celtic Sea
  •        Phosphorus - found in all animal meats and eggs
  •        Potassium - found in many foods, i.e. eggs, meats and vegetables (especially green one)
  •        Sulphur - found in eggs, meats, lemons, garlic and many other foods
2. Trace Minerals -  Remineralized Purified Water (from Concentrace mineral drops) Celtic Sea Salt, Liver (for Iron), and Liquid Mineral
Supplement, recommended below.

Recommended Mineral Supplements
  • Magnesium - Magnesium must be taken addition to calcium from other food sources. Calcium and magnesium need to be taken in at
    least equal amounts. This is the most difficult mineral to get from food is magnesium. Get it powered or liquid form. Take 400 mg in
    the AM and 400mg in PM.
  • Calcuim from crushed eggshells. - A crushed whole medium sized eggshell makes about one teaspoon of powder, which yields
    about 750 - 800 mgs of elemental calcium plus other trace elements. Most people require a minimum of 600 mgs per day of calcium
    (1/2 teaspoon of powder).To prepare take 1/2 teaspoon of crushed egg shells soaked in 1/2 lemon's juice for 6-12 hours. Take this
    with the magnesium. Dosage: 400mg AM and 400mg PM.
  • Minerals - 1 tspn of Celtic Sea Salt for trace minerals. Also, find a relatively complete mineral supplement in liquid or powered form.
    The body does not easily digest it in pill form.
  • Iron - Eat fresh liver twice a week or make your own supplements from frozen liver.
[A note on Iodine: In excess, iodine can be toxic. Consumption of high amounts of inorganic iodine (as in iodized salt or iodine-fortified
bread) as well as of organic iodine (as in kelp) can cause thyroid problems similar to those of iodine deficiency, including goiter. The best
natural sources of iodine are eggs, butter, seafoods and a good natural ocean sea salt. Eating these foods will provide enough. See the
Thyroid Health note below for more information.]


    
Essential Fatty Acids
  • Fish Oil: Omega-3 Fatty Acids - 2,000 - 3,000mg recommended per day. Take with Chlorella.
  • Omega 3 is a powerful ant-inflammatory The ideal ratio of essential fatty acids is, for Omega 3 : Omega 6, 1:1. The western diet is
    usually between 1:20 and 1:50 which skews the fat balance in the membranes of all animal body cells negatively impacting cell
    function. Almost all auto-immune disorders can be traced to chronic inflammation. It is actually the ratio of omega 6:3 fats that
    determines how much inflammation is present in the body.
  •        Cod liver oil in the winter (because it also has D3 and Vitamin A). The best brand is High Vitamin Blue Ice CLO available from:
                                                                                                             Dr. Ron's Ultra–Pure, Green Pasture's, Radiant Life
  •        Krill Oil in the summer, if you get sunlight exposure!
  • Healthy Omega-6 fats like gamma linoleic acid (GLA) - found in Evening Primrose, Black Currant Seed, and Borage oil. 1000mg.



Vitamins (Vitamin K can easily be obtained from eating several servings of vegetables a day.)
  • Vitamin A (as Beta-carotene from fish oil)- I recommend getting this from foods - mainly carrots and spinach. The synthetic kind of
    Vitamin A (retinol) competes with D3 for receptors. D3 is decidedly more important than Vitamin A. The synthetic form of Vitamin A is
    also damaging to the liver.
  • Vitamin B complex. - Click this link also to learn of the function of each part of the B Complex.
  • Vitamin B3 (natural form of Niacin).
  • Vitamin C: 8g a day at least depending on your level of stress, activity, etc. 15g for healing and high level of activity. The scientist
    Linus Pauling advocated taking 10 grams of Vitamin a day. He did and lived into his 90s. I 5g in AM after breakfast 1g at noon, 4g
    after dinner, and 1g before bed. Vitamin C is essential in the production of collagen, a strong connective tissue that keeps the heart
    and blood vessels elastic (and all other organs), strong, and clear of fatty-deposits.
  • The Sunshine Vitamin: Vitamin D3 (Mercola's D3 Spray is recommended)- EXTREMELY IMPORTANT "Vitamin"! In the winter months
    when you can't expose your skin to the sun take at least 4,000 IUs a day. Make sure it is derived from Cod Liver Oil. Exposing 85%
    of your skin for 30 minutes (very light-skinned) - 2 hours (dark-skinned) a day will provide you upwards of 10,000-20,000 IUs from
    that sunbath alone. 80-90% of Americans are D3 deficient.
  • Vitamin E - 400 IUs a day. (It is impossible to buy E without soybean oil; however, the soy in vitamin E does not contain damaging
    substances found in other soy products, so it is okay to buy vitamin E derived from soy.)
  • (Biotin supplement if eating raw eggs)
[Vitamin B alternative: Nutritional Yeast Flakes - ensure you buy the "flakes" and not just "nutritional yeast" of any kind. There are many
good brands available, including Red Star, Frontier, NOW, etc. Take two (2) tablespoons mixed into water or food.]
