==>Ester C is a no-no but I don't have time to find my info on it

right now. Also do not get time released supplements of any kind.

The regular daily dose is in my article which is 1,000 mgs from the

tablet or capsule that contains rutin, herperidin, bioflavonoids,

etc. (check out the Supplements in my article or in the Supplements

Folder for details), plus 3,000 mgs from sodium ascorbate (50/50

ascorbic acid and baking soda mixed and taken in water).

==>All B vitamins should be taken together (niacin is a B vitamin

too), but you can use Nutritional Yeast Flakes which are great. I've

been taking it too and I put 2 tbls in a glass, add my magnesium

(dumped out of the capsules) on top, add quite warm water, mix, and

then add a little cold water and I take eggshell calcium by the spoon

in my mouth and swallow the warmish mixture. It works good. My

friend, Steve, has candida and he's doing fine on Nutritional Yeast

Flakes from the bulk bins at the health store; and it's not expensive.

==>The rice one is better; the other one will definitely be made from

soy. But can't you find a dry formula E or a clear base (Natural

Factors makes the clear base Vit. E).

I hear a lot use NOW products. I was told by my naturopath that they

were not the best quality. What are your opinions?

 Hello,

If you choose to use supplements as we have, make sure there are no unnecessary

fillers. Make sure they are in vegetable capsules.

All of what uses is Pharmaceutical Grade.

Please e-mail me with any question's.

I use several companies..

One I like is Stanard Process, since they have always used the whole food

concept in all their products, plus synergism

In some cases. like the beta glucans, Iuse Peakimmune, becuse they specialize in

that one thing, and they say their testing has shown a doubling of the NK cells

with use of their product.

I amnot endorsing them. There are other companies that also specialize in just

one or two products, like Cellffod, etc..

often people who have worked a long time at a healthfood/vitamin store have good

info,since they read the literature on these things,a nd get feedback from

customers..also,of course holistic doctors

I would reluctant to generalize like this. To put all your eggs in one

basket is unwise but there are a few brands out there that carry good single

supplements.

Yes I use several brands but the NOW one suprises me
