“What Vitamins should I take?”This is a very common question in my office. People want what’s effective but they don’t want to spend alot of dough on multiple supplements.
In this article link, Dr. Mark Hyman MD reviews powerful new research on the healthcare savings that result from taking vitamin supplements daily. For a few pennies a day, the healthcare cost savings are significant. I agree with his practical minimum recommendations for the top 4 supplements which give you the best results while being economical. They include:1. A high-quality multivitamin and mineral. The multivitamin should contain mixed carotenoids, which include lutein and zeaxanthin as part of their mix, as well as at least 400 mcg of folate and a mixed B-complex vitamin. (Centrum doesn’t do the trick.)
2. Calcium-magnesium with at least 600 mg of calcium and 400 mg of magnesium. The calcium should be calcium citrate or chelated versions of minerals. Do not use calcium carbonate or magnesium oxide, which are cheap minerals that are poorly absorbed.
3. Vitamin D3, 1,000 to 2,000 IU a day (people who are deficient in vitamin D will need more). 4. Omega-3 fatty acids that contain the fats EPA and DHA, 1,000 to 2,000 mg a day.For the original article, that I feel is worth reading by everyone just click right here.

America’s Deadliest Sweetener
If you know me, you know I’m not a big fan of artificial sweeteners, particularly aspartame (Nutrisweet) which is a potent neurotoxin. Yeah, that’s right, it kills your nerves! I’ve seen all sorts of illness in my office that resolved naturally with the removal of aspartame from a patient’s diet.  Here’s a great article by Dr. Joseph Mercola DO, who wrote a book on the subject. If you are drinking Diet Coke or Pepsi, you may want to read this! Here’s the excerpt:
“Aspartame is the most controversial food additive in history, and its approval for use in food was the most contested in FDA history. In the end, the artificial sweetener was approved, not on scientific grounds, but rather because of strong political and financial pressure. After all, aspartame was previously listed by the Pentagon as a biochemical warfare agent!” Read more here
