Guest guest Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 , I think that is very wise. I am interested to see if CLOS comments on this, but I have a friend here who had RNY and she takes Flintstones chewables. I am always interested to hear what other surgeons are telling their patients to do. (experienced surgeons) So last week I bought a bottle of Flintstone chewables (actually I bought the much cheaper Equate brand) and have added them to my One Source. I haven't had any blood work done, so I don't know if I was down in any of my counts but I thought I would go ahead and take this in hopes of staying on top of everything.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Just a quick note on vitamins. I've been doing some heavy research on vitamin and mineral supplementation. In my studies, I have learned that for the human body to operate at its fullest potential, it needs 91 nutrients daily, 60 minerals, 16 vitamins, 12 amino acids, and 3 fatty acids. Check your labels, are you getting all of that? I also found that the body only absorbs about 10% of the vitamins and minerals when taken in the pill form. If it is in the chelated form (amino acids added to bond with for better absorption) about 40% of the vitamins and minerals are absorbed. In the colloidal form (liquid) about 98% of the vitamins and minerals are absorbed. I have been on a liquid vitamin and mineral supplement that offers all 91 of the nutrients, and have only been taking it once a day. My labs have all been perfect and I have so much more energy. It is a little pricey ($60.00 a month plus shipping), but hey...I spent $17,000.00 on this surgery, I figure I'm worth that and another $60.00 a month. If any of you want any more information about the supplement I am using, e-mail me privately at jewely@... . I will be happy to talk with you. in Phoenix Dr. Hargroder 02/19/04 261-180-120 5'2 " 43 y/o Re: Vitamins , I think that is very wise.

You have a point. Lipitor does at least warrant some serious care, although not all statins have demonstrated the same problems. I would suggest at least studying and printing out all the possible side effects and posting them somewhere, so he won't go for week wondering what's wrong, if he should start to react to it. He should also make absolutely sure he never takes cyclosporine, gemfibrozil, niacin, antibiotics, especially erythromycin, or medications for fungal infections with his Lipitor. Those tend to bring on the worst of the side effects. I trust his doctor has a good reason for giving him 20 mg. a day. That is not a particularly high dose (out of 80 mg maximum recommended), but it is not the minimum, either. If his cholesterol gets even close to being too low, he probably should back off the dosage. This might very well happen as the thyroid replacement takes hold, just as you said.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 I would say it all depends on the reason for the elevated cholesterol and heart disease. If the reason is hypothyroidism, then I would think you might want to give the thyroid meds. time to see if that cures the problem. It did in my case, and I was on 125 mcg T4 at that time. Four moths after starting thyroid meds, my cholesterol was down to acceptable numbers. But my husband has no thyroid problem, though his dad died of heart disease, and he also had high cholesterol. So when my husband's cholesterol got to the point where our Dr. wanted to put him on medication, (this was about three years ago when he retired at age 54) my husband opted to try exercise and flax oil first. He's working out at the Y as we speak. He has always eaten quite healthily, and doesn't smoke. With sticking to this regimen, he has managed to keep his BP and cholesterol within acceptable limits, so his prescription is still here, unfilled. It isn't easy though, and you do have to be committed, as my husband is. I do think that if the commitment is not total, or if it still isn't enough, it is best to go onto medication.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 you don't want to take a drug with many side effects if you don't need it. Americans have been carefully educated that they should be on many drugs--- that's good for big pharma but not for us. Benign meds have few or no side effects, this is not true for lipitor. IMO centrum silver has high amounts of a few vitamins and very low amounts of others, and it is expensive. Maybe GNC has a more balanced formula.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 Read Schwarzbein Principle, Hypothyrodism: the Unsuspected Illness and Hormone Solution for completely different perspective on heart disease. Definately good fats, not low fat is important. Gracia > > > I would say it all depends on the reason for the elevated cholesterol > and heart disease.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 Hi, do you have PA or one of its variants? Pls could you summarize? I have much experience with people who use vitamins & minerals, including my own earlier usage, who have this disease. It is hard to find a doctor who has experience w/this affliction, and not quite as hard to find one that uses naturopathic methods in the USA, but one who knows both, I have never found. The isolated nutrients are hard to figure in the USA. Other countries have far more experience--both with usage as well as preparation and quality control standards. Sales & marketing is not exactly the best way to control these things.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 PA is primary Aldostronism, when one of your adrenal glands is producing too much aldostrone due to a tumor or for whatever reason, this problem may be corrected by removing the gland. HP is hyper placia, when both adrenal glands produce too much aldostrone HA is hyper aldostronism, your blood contains too much aldostrone. HA is a cause of secondary hypertention. As Dave mentioned I also used to take all kinds of vitamins, minerals, and before I was diagnosed tried acupuncture. I have read Dr Weil's book and my diet is pretty much fruits and vegetables. Last two months I have had to stop everything as my doctors told me not to take any vitamins, as they interfere in getting good blood tests. This week I have to change my diet because until now I was eating foods that are very high on potassioum but since I just started spiro, I am supposed to NoT eat foods that are high in potassium and no vitamins. It is so hard to find any doctors who actually know much about HA.I would be very interested in knowing any nutropathic doctors who are familiar with this condition as well. Thanks to this group I have learned so much from you guys that I would never have found on my own.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 " primary aldosteronism, " the unbrella term used nowadays for the variants of renin-angiotnesin mlfuctions resulting in too much aldo, too little renin, odd cortisol, salt and potassium imbalances. Starting to look more and more as an underlying condition, if not cause of many hypertensions. Reason I ask is this is what this group is dedicated to, and second, that ascorbic acid, and even more, the carbonates and mineral ascorbates used to deliver vitamin C are potential antagonists, of this problem.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 Hi Dave, I took 3000-4000 mg of Vit C, in the form of powder Emerg'ncy brand + garlic and bunch of other good stuff, but did not see any improvement. Have you seen any research on that?
