Re: Re: Quick Question for the CRON Experts here/supplements

February 24, 2004

I, like you, used to take lots of supps. And experimented with many that

made astounding claims. But I never felt any better for it and decided that

my diet was probably the best thing I had going for me. So I stopped.

Since I rarely get sick I think that my decision was sound and my good

health speak for itself.

Now I just take melatonin (mostly for sleep) and have recently added (for

the winter months only) a low cod liver oil dose. And I think I'll add the

low dose aspirin because it's been proven to prevent so many chronic

ailments, as outlined by Chis Dowling in this message:

(and also Parkinson's disease).

After my nightime leg cramps episode I added some " E " but don't expect to

take it long term. In fact I can't be sure it's due to a shortage of " E " ,

and suspect it's not.

If you know you're prone by heredity to certain illnesses, e.g. heart

disease, then I'd say take the low dose aspirin and anything else PROVEN to

ameliorate that condition. Otherwise you're probably wasting your money and

it's literally being peed down the toilet. Just my opinion FWIW. The

supplement industry is big business.
