I'm going to ask my PCP and hemo (they're next door to each other) for some infusions to address the deficiency issues, just to get them back up to where I can maintain them. I did so for years up until now, and I can do it again. Bio-Tech Pharmacals is going to love me next month! I'll be restocking my A, D, E, K1 and K2. Equate(Walmart store brand) multis (Centrum-type) have worked fine in the past, and I have a kick-ass B-complex sublingual. I'm doing B12 sublinguals for now, until I can get a 10ml vial of B12 injectible. Monthly injections work better fro me.
Thanks, Pete!
I'm just so dumbfounded as to what happened to make me get sloppy like that. Perhaps the deficiencies themselves impacted my memory. I did forget to take Rx meds one week for four days straight, and that's usually the first thing I do every morning - vites first, then First Breakfast, Wait an hour, then Rx meds, Second Breakfast between 10 and noon. The Rx stuff is for non-weight related issues - autoimmune condition.
My B Complex is Superior Source Balance B Complex , first sent to me by a DS Angel when I was having a tough time getting my vites.
As for B12, I'm currently using Building Blocks B12 sublingual spray several times daily. I got that in a prize pack from an OH Vite gieaway that I won. I usually do a monthly (or two) cyanacobalamin injection. That's what I had been doing prior to the prize pack. I prefer the injections, because it's one and done as opposed to daily spraying. It's a good product, but I have so much other health stuff to kleep up with, it's really easier to do the injections. As for my A, D, E and K1, Bio-Tech, which custom-packages for Vitalady. Same stuff, different label. I've been able to get some great deals on D50,000 from Amazon and eBay.When I was a newbie, I ordered Vitalady's DS planuntil I learned what I needed, then I went hunting for less expensive sourcesfor the majority of my vites.
New post to my page shortly addressing the nutritional crisis...especially for the newbies.
