Guest guest Posted March 11, 2002 Report Share Posted March 11, 2002 Hi Barry, My father got kidney stones from taking vitamins when he was fairly young, I think he was about 35 and the docs had him take some supplement for ulcer, anyhow turned out caused more trouble than it was worth. As for the gb, I would suspect a multi-vitamin supplement isn't going to do much damage provided it's taken with healthy eating. As for mass supplementing, that I wouldn't recommend to anyone other than those working with supervision and for a specific reason. As the old saying goes " if it's not broke, don't fix it " . Hope this helps. Peace Lu ----- Original Message ----- From: barry91162 gallstones Sent: Saturday, March 09, 2002 10:19 PM Subject: Multi-Vitamins...? Does anyone know anything about taking multi-vitamins daily effecting the gb stone situation? My friend who was diagnosed with kidney stones was told by his doctor to stop the multi-vitamins because it could be a cause for kidney stones. Has anyone heard of this? And should people with gallstones avoid processed multi-vitamins because of the processing and extra essentials that we may not need while having a gb condition? I'm taking Bayer One-a-day multi-vitamin to replace anything that I may not be getting in my now revised dieting. Actually, I've been taking then for the last 5 years but now that I've heard this I'm seeking more insight into this topic. Any help is appreciated. :-) Thanks, Barry.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2002 Report Share Posted March 12, 2002 Thanks Lu, I have heard more than one person who've had kidney stones being told by their doctors to stop the processed multi-vitamins. I wasn't sure about gb stones and vitamins. I only take a one-a-day multi-vitamin to supplement what I may be missing in my diet. The jury is still out weither I sound stop them or not.

Barry and all.......Dr. Schulze put out a warning against taking 'drugstore' vitamins a long time ago. They are loaded with artificial garbage, chemicals and are derived from dubious sources. I'll look around my blessed mess of an office and see if I can find the notice. The only vitamins fit to be taken are from food sources only, organic, etc. and not squeezed out of rocks, sewer sludge, petroleum, etc. If you knew how most of these commercial vitamins were REALLY made, you'd never think of putting them into your body. I don't doubt that they are capable of producing gall stones or a bunch of other woes. They are artificial drugs born of the same lunacy that all side effect producing drugs are derived from. The only ones who benefit from their consumption are the companies that sell them and not the consumers.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2002 Report Share Posted March 12, 2002 Betsy, Thanks, the jury just came back in with you. :-) I've been thinking I don't need those processed, 'dubious source' vitamins that are produced from sewer sludge, etc, anyway. :-) Mine are going in the trash. I'll just have to make sure my diet is naturally balanced to include all the essencials. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2002 Report Share Posted March 12, 2002 Oh yes, Betsy, you are right, you have jogged my memory. I do recall reading this in Dr. Schulze's book.
