Guest guest Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 I started to take all my supplements again after reading Suzanne Somers book " Knockout " and another book on Dr. Linus ing's vitamin C therapy. I have seen some interesting changes that have occurred since starting them all. What is obvious is that my body has really been lacking in nutrients, because I have never had such obvious changes from taking supplements before. Usually in the past when I took supplements, I really couldn't tell any difference in my overall health, and mostly took them as a preventative insurance. There are only a couple of supplements that I really reacted in a negative manner to, such as B complex vitamin pills, which made me feel sick, or calcium supplements which also made me feel icky. Vitamin B12 gave me energy, and of course, Thyroid meds helped with fatigue. I got lazy with my thyroid meds and neglected them for a couple of months. For several months I've added in nutritional yeast for the B vitamins and have had no negative reaction to those. I started Vit C as ascorbic acid in large doses and was really excited about that...it made a big difference in my dental health. Then I added in more herbs, such as cayenne, tumeric, and other supplements, such as biotin for my hair, pregnenolone for the hormone precursors, and melatonin for good sleep. I added in some progesterone cream for a couple of nights. In the last couple of weeks, I've noticed more brain fog! (Ick!!!! I can't believe it!) And today I started a period!!!! I'm menopausal, and haven't had a regular period for a couple of years! I can't remember the last time I actually had a period. I'm frankly quite shocked. Of course, the other concern is if this is really a period or something more sinister that needs to be checked out. So, obviously the added supplements are making a huge difference. I just have to decide if they are good differences, and if I can live with the brain fog? I think I need to go back to using nothing and then add the supplements in one at a time to see what is doing what. It's pretty interesting, though, to realize that supplements have an effect on my body that is significant. I think the older we are, the more important they become. I'll keep you posted.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 gg, I used nutritional yeast long before I started the other supplements and never had any issues with it. I only started getting a little brain fog when I added in the large doses of Ascorbic Acid (Vit C) with the L-Lysine. I've cut out the l-lysine and I think that might have been an issue, but still not sure...will keep trying to track it!
