Meat kind of grosses me out too... Not so much that it was an animal (we are on top of the food chain after all) but that God only knows what kind of hormones are put into animals being raised for food. Im not too big on dairy either, for that same reason.

Im not sure about vitamins - there are so many reports that one vitamin is good for you and another vitamin is worthless - that I dont know what to believe anymore. I just take with a womans daily vitamin and stick with a healthy diet (lots of whole grains, fruit and vegatables), low fat and no refined sugar.

Mtnmom- good for you w/ the diet!! I try to eat healthy, but if i'm up late (11pm-1 or 2am) its pretty much a given that I'll eat.

Regarding the supplements, my doc prescribed B-12 injections... the good part is that insurance paid, but I had to stick myself. That was the cyano-something B12. Now I take the methyl-something B12....it is supposedly absorbed by the body better.

my recipe
 

calcium softgels pm

magnesium oxide am (experiment - too much causes diarhea - back down if that happens)

calcium & mag should never be taken together unless you are constipated.

b12 but not cyanocobalamin - it has cyanide in it

b6

b multi

folic acid

dark green veggies may be used to get b vitamins with good result. don't overcook.

essential oils - i use extra virgin olive & coconut and cinamon flavor flax seed oil. pour & spread on ezekiel bread.

fish occasionally, but i avoid tuna.

eat lots of veggies. i make soups with chicken stock and add stuff like celery root, rutabaga, cauliflower, any veggie you like. leftovers get heated later but keep adding veggies.

fresh citrus & tea made from fresh grated ginger.

eat as many spices as you can stand.
