Susan, Your intent was clear. There are no concrete answers out there, however, it's important to be aware of both what could harm us and help us.

I'm more concerned with how I can get through each day than what put me here in this medical h-e-double hockey sticks hole. I do take sensible supplements, eat well and all that other stuff. And I honestly believe that it helps make the difference between my feeling just okay every day or feeling good enough to do something.

For me, the goal is about increasing my health and, therefore, increasing my quality of life.

No one should blindly do anything . . . including taking supplements, prescription drugs, a doctor's advice . . .
