111. My Daily Supplements
Multivitamins with iron. These are a bit more expensive than your ordinary multivitamins as they contain a lot more, but I get them in bulk so I do ok.
Cod liver oil. Can’t take general ‘fish oil’ as I’m allergic to mackerel – with ‘dire’ consequences!
Glucosamine. Anything less than 1000mg a day won’t be effective in combatting joint pain.
Concentrated Dandelion tincture – a few drops in water daily to repair everyday damage to the liver. Dandelion tea won’t provide you with nearly enough. I take strong painkillers which sadly I cannot manage without. Paracetamol is damaging to the liver over a long time, so heaven knows what my strong painkillers are doing to my body. Drinkers of alcohol should definitely take this.
Aloe Vera juice to repair all organs in the body. It has amazing healing qualities, but you have to buy the right type of stuff. It’s great for damaged skin too – you can rub it directly on sunburnt skin.
Flax oil, as you know is included in my diet every day. This is to maintain all cells and prevent cancer and many other horrible illnesses. I take it with cottage cheese as an expert told me these are the best natural defenses against cancer. See my old post about it Here.
Tea Tree oil - taken externally only, for my spots. If it’s good enough for peirced ears, it’s good enough for acne – it works great! The one I get is diluted with coconut oil. It’s too harsh otherwise. And it smells like a strong menthol, so I only put it on for an hour when I get up, then wash it off with baby lotion.
Evian water. Not all water is the same. Evian has the highest levels of all the good stuff (such as minerals, magnesium, etc) and the lowest of all the bad stuff. Bad stuff in water? Yes, chlorine aint too good for you, but it’s good for teeth, so it has to be in there. Tap water has phenominally high levels of chlorine in comparison. It depends where you live, but just stick to bottled water like Evian.
I used to have a water filter, and buy filter cartridges – but that’s no good because it strips out all the good stuff too. Bottled water companies DO have the highest profit margins of all soft drinks, but it’s still worth paying for in my opinion.
There are a lot more supplements I would be taking if I had more money. I take some others less frequently (to make them last!) which I will be writing about in more detail later on this blog.
But if you’re not sure which supplements can help you, go along to your health food shop, and chat to the staff. They’re trained well, and will be able to tell you what supplements will benefit you, that fit your budget.
