Update and question about dark under eye circles/Re: Need Help Finding Problem

Hi

<<but I know we aren't getting hardly any folate in our diet right

> now and B12 is on the SCD protocol>>

" SCD protocol " ? Do you mean Elaine's recommendations for B vitamins

in BTVC. IN BTVC Elaine writes, " never purchase a B complex vitamin

with only B1, B2 and Niacin. The minimal members of the B-Complex

family which should be included are B1, B2, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid

and B6 " . Some people do take B shots etc.. but that isn't SCD.

Are you certain you need it? It was suggested to me a few years ago

to get B shots. I was told many with GI problems have low B vits. I

had all sorts of trouble and went to my doc to ask for shots, she ran

tests and my B was too high. I was absorbing what I needed from food

and the B complex was too much. My point check to see if it is

needed because once on SCD needs can change drastically.

If starting with a small dose and slowly increasing doesn't help you

might need different forms, if possible.

<<Oh and whoever came up with the avocado meatloaf recipe, bravo! My

> kids loved it, even my son who hates to eat avocado!!!!>>

Might have been me. I started adding avocado to ground beef last

year - I loved the flavour it added. It is also yummy with ground

chicken. I call the chicken avocado burgers " martian burgers " since

they are greenish. I won't tell you what my son calls them! LOL
