Re: Vitamin B Questions & Request link to recommended supplements to compliment iodine

[Guest guest]

There are different schools on B vitamin balance. Personally I now use the

metabolic typing lens. Where some B’s are emphasized over others depending

on what kind of metabolism you have. To get more information you can buy

CD’s from www.dr-gonzalez.com - Dr. is a NY practitioner who mainly

specializes in cancer treatment, there are downloads of his lectures on the

site. I find them intriguing, provocative, and powerfully convincing.

There is a commercial website www.metabolictyping.com that uses a similar

underlying idea. There is no connection between these two websites. The only

connection is that both parties had some connection with Dr.

use a similar underlying idea about metabolic differences between people

based on genetic background.

I have been adapting my supplementation to this model but using the

metabolic typing profile method from the second website as I don’t live

anywhere near NY.

I used to take the normal balanced B vitamins, but had very bad reactions no

matter what purity, or origin (nausea and even vomiting). This is a lifelong

reaction. When I investigated this new model of nutrition, I understood why.

It is because large doses of B’s are not beneficial for my metabolic type,

even though they are for many others. Only some of them are useful and

particularly some forms over others. For example, my type does better with

Niacinamide over Niacin. This is not saying we don’t need some of all of the

B’s, just that each persons balance will be different.

This is highly uncommon thinking in the supplement area, it is hard to adapt

to the idea that there isn’t a standardized formula that is the best, or

good for everyone. I always believed that until I started digging into this

model and found that there is lots of science to back it up. Practitioners

get it too, because almost all Dr’s will say that their patients vary a

great deal. But it is now treated as this great mystery, with no science or

model to predict why or how this might be.

Hi, I just finished reading Dr Brownstein's iodine book (latest addition).

I was very interested in what it said about a couple of the B vitamins - I

believe B2 (Riboflavin) & Vitamin B3,(Niacin) and their being helpful for

improving energy levels (I think something about ATP and mitochondria or

some such). Anyway very interesting! Also my energy levels and also my

exercise recovery time period are still 2 big area of improvement for me.

I have to admit that I do not know much about the B vitamin and I am also

not good about taking them because I tend to think that they really do a

number on my stomach. Also I understand that with the B Vitamins you are

supposed to have a balance of all of them and so taking just certain ones

for a particular purpose has do be done the right way --- is that right??

Any Vitamin be info or advice would be appreacaited.
