Dr. Whiteman told me at the conference to be sure to

pace things out. Don't take all of them at one time.

We do meds three to four times daily and spread out

pills.

We take B-50 complex, CoQ10, selenium, niacinimide,

riboflavin, B-12, alpha lipoic acid, Carnitor, vitamin

with iron. In addition my son takes neurontin (large

doses), lamictal, flovent, prevacid, etc.

Mom to the two best kids in the world!

Hi Adam,

Dr. Cohen was NOT at the 2006 conference (as his baby was due). My girls both

take a " full " cocktail. They often divide the pills/capsules into several

rounds both morning and afternoon. lies.especially, is COQ10 and riboflavin

responsive so every attmept ever made to reduce the cocktail has been

disasterous.

take too many supplements. My stomach just rebels at trying to

causing a reaction, but I am pretty sure that it is just the amount of

supplements rather than a certain one. When I reduce the amount, I

don't have problems.

So how do I take all that I should? Anyone else have this problem?

Oh, and plus, that is a LOT of pills to be popping, I have kids who I

am always trying to encourage to take supplements and they are okay

with a few, but when I start throwing a lot at them, they start

getting a lot less interested in taking them. Anyone have an approach

that helps them take all their supplements?

Adam,

That reference was from the 2000 Cleveland conference.

Adam.

I take the full cocktail but divide the total dose of eaach into thirds

taking one third about every 8 hours. Without the cocktail I am a mess so it

is

important for me to get all of the recommended amounts.

Hi Adam,

Some of my mito doc's patients go to a pharmacy where they can take

all your supplements together and put them either in capsule or liquid

form. In other words, one bottle of liquid or one capsule would have

all of your supplements mixed together in the doses that you take. (It

might require taking more than one capsule to get all that you want

but it would still be far fewer capsules altogether than you are

probably taking).

If I remember correctly (?) you live in Massachusetts? My doctor is at

Mass General and she has a form for the cocktail to be put in liquid

or capsules. Your doc might have that, too. I don't know if all

pharmacies are equipped to do this but I think the Acton Pharmacy in

Acton, MA, is particularly familiar with mito and particularly helpful

(they make compounds for many disorders). (I could be misremembering

the exact pharmacy name but I think it's right. Acton Pharmacy's phone

# is . Years ago, they were willing to mail prescriptions

to people who didn't live near them. Don't know if that's still true.

Good luck!

I would have to check the list, but I think I take most everything on

it. It was from one of the earlier conferences - maybe 2001.

I take a total of 52 pills per day, divided into four doses. Some are

prescription meds, but I take 9 Carnitor, 7 magnesium and 16 CoQ, so

that accounts for several. I have heart burn from the Carnitor, alpha

lopiac acid and folic acid. I also have problems with acidic foods. I

take some ginger after each dose and this helps a great deal. If I

don't take it, it goes away after about a half hour.

It is sure a relief to no that I am not the only one

taking alot of pills. Though most of my pills are not

mito cocktail ingredients. I take 22 pills a day.

In the book " Fantastic Voyage: Live Long Enough to Live Forever " renowned

inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil, in discussing the protocol of supplemention

he follows, states that he takes 250 pills a day, plus an entire day per week in

which he receives several supplements by IV. Between this and the other things
