Re: multi-vitamin for children

[Guest guest]

the douglas labs magnesium taurate is a good magnesium

multivitamins are like chelation, oversimple ideas that do not work

in practice cause they gloss over the detail and are too coarse to

give that sustained higher function

however cut down b multis can be effective

calcium imo is often not needed, causes more problems than it sleves

and vit d is more the issue

epsom salt baths being used are a sure sign of supplementation

problems in my observation, the results with epsom salts are too

unstable and the epsom salts feed skin fungi

cut down douglas labs molybdenum is a better way to approach that

pathway.
