Re: Re: Information on Isotonix: CAUTION ADVISED (long)

[Guest guest]

Hi

I am having a dexascan next week after using Isontonix for a year plus I use

Myacalcin nasal too. I had a touch of osteopinea last year so it will be

interesting to see what has happened. I will let the group know. One thing for

sure: Barbara endorses (sells) the Isotonix vits and I am sure she'd

want to know if they aren't that good. I think she really cares about us.

She says the calcium is absorbed in these vits because the reaction that

normally occurs in a normal stomach with acid occurs in the cup before you drink

the

powder/water mix. Hummm.....I have often wondered so I will know in a week or

so.

Oh by the way, I am approved for an abdominoplasty at last!!!!! Double

hernia repair. Question for the group: I have read a lot about ladies

receiving a

" hoochie " lift as well. Is this something I need to discuss with my plastic

surgeon. Truthfully, I don't see any drooping there but who knows after the

stomach is flat. Do they shave you for this?

Thanks and blessings

There's also the consideration that our bodies generally cannot absorb a full

day's dosage of most supplements, and they need to be split up into 3 or 4

aliquots --taking an entire day's dosage of anything is an invitation to waste

your money.

On the whole, I agree wholeheartedly with on this stuff: it's pretty

much just advertising hype, not much science, and a lot of garbage as far as

supplementation is concerned.

Yes, you CAN say anything and that doesn't make it valid. No matter how much

I LOVE chocolate and mashed potatoes, though, for example, does not make them

good for me or my disease or treatment of it. No matter how good Isotonix may

be in your opinion, the science doesn't support that they are any better or

even as good as many other products out there, available by the way for a lot

less money. Regardless of how reputable a company may be, a multi-level

marketing outfit is just going to cost the consumer more money, by the very

construct

of the company. It's a bit scarey to hear that this company is going to " help

regulate the industry. " Sorta like putting a wolf in the hen coop, in MY

opinion. But then, that is the current state of affairs with our current

government. The concerns and well-being of " industry " seem always to take

precedence of

those of the general public and citizenry.

And being a nice person may or may not take you farther than the opposite.

Sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn't. When I'm " nice, " my mom's nursing

home doesn't do anything about fixing the problems there. But they DO sit up

and take notice and make changes when I get up on my not-so-nice horse. If I

want the customer service rep somewhere to do me a favor, then nice gets me

farther. Point is, " nice " doesn't do anything one way or another when it comes

to

deciding which supplements are most efficacious for " us. " FACTS are the

important thing. So, thanks, , for the facts.

Do you think that's true of taking a full day's dosage of IRON all at once?

I hear some people do it this way, while others split it morning & evening.

I've been taking it in one lump lately, but when I checked with my dietician

she told me not to. I really hate splitting stuff cause I will generally

forget the second dose (I'm an idiot what can I say!) If folk have been

maintaining their iron levels well while taking their entire dose in one

sitting, I

would be encouraged to continue this rebellion! LOL!

I also agree with . Between and (Vitalady) I think they

pretty much have a handle on this supplementation stuff. I do know from

personal experience (because we have had private conversations on the

matter) that knows her B-12 stuff!!!!
