Vitamins etc
Posted: Sun Mar 02, 2003 10:06 am
Hi Colleagues
One of the problems of taking vitamins & minerals as supplements is
concentration of the stuff and its sudden rate of release.
Let us imagine a boiled sweet!
How many apples or pound of grapes, dates etc would you need to eat to take
in the equivalent amount of sugar?
So by taking a boiled sweet we immediately put the pancreas under pressure
in a way it was NOT designed to do.
When we take a Vit A supplement, how many carrot equivalents is it? Can you
eat that many carrots with out suffering stomach problems and indigestion?
I remember Sheilagh Creasy giving us a list of toxicity symptoms from excess
of vits etc. Any one interested, please email me PRIVATELY and I will patch
it through to you.
Basically we get back to the old question of maintaining causes - as has
been said, if nutrition is not adequate, it needs to be looked at with care
and the patient needs to be informed/educated. As is said 'you cannot make a
silk purse out of a sow's ear!'
Good healing
