antioxidant therapy information

[Guest guest]

I am curious to know how many people here have done the antioxidant

therapy? I've found a wealth of postive information on it in the

UK, but not USA(not suprising).

If I understand correctly; there is a blood test to determine if

this might be an answer to idopathic pacreatitis?

Anyone who has ANY experience with this...I would VERY much

appreciate talking with you.

All of my husbands attacks have followed weeks/months of hard work

and not eating much or properly...then having a large fatty meal.

Perhaps he has these low levels.....

It's me again....(Heidi). I've been taking the antioxidant therapy

recommended by the Manchester Royal Infirmary of the UK for the past three

years. This antioxidant therapy consists of taking precise amounts of Beta

Carotene, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Selenium and L-Methionine daily. The

research done in England resulted in lower incidences of pancreatic pain and

fewer attacks.

These vitamins, amino acids and minerals can be purchased through a

company called Pharmanord in the UK in the form of a single capsule called

Antox. Otherwise, a person can buy the individual pills and take them in the

correct quantities that would equal the same dosage as Antox. I've

purchased the antioxidants from England, and have also found sources in the

US that sell them. Now I usually buy them from a local health food store that

keeps what I need in stock. In addition to these antioxidants, I also take

grapeseed extract, vitamin B-12, and another package of antioxidants that

help lower blood glucose levels. Those additional antioxidants are for my

diabetes, and the package contains Vitamin E, Chronium Picolinate,

Selenium, A multivitamin with Luten, Folic Acid, Vitamin C and Alpha Lipoic

Acid.

I've noticed the difference between the times I've not taken the antioxidants

and when I have, and have noticed a distinct improvement while on the

antioxidant therapy, both in my pain levels and my BG levels. I'm a firm

believer in the benefits of this kind of therapy and have never hesitated to

recommend it to others.

If you have any questions about this, please don't hesitate to ask me.

With love, hope and prayers,

Heidi,

Could you post where you ordered Antox in the US? What do you ask

the health food store to order? I'm trying to follow using

individual components, but it's a ton of pills each day. Did you

ever find any information that would contraindicate taking Actonel

with pancreatitis. Thank you

Heidi, (or anybody)

I've read that specific bloodwork needs to be done...and on a

regular basis. I don't remember where, but it said that to much of

these thing can be very harmful. I'm curious if those of you that

are following this regimin are consulting with a doctor for it or

having bloodwork done for it.

thanks
