Abuse of Vitamin
Posted: Fri Sep 10, 2004 10:17 pm
Dear Colleagues
Shannon & myself have exchanged a few emails privately and I just wanted to
add these few words to close the topic.
What concerned me in her original post was her choice of words "Then she
should *definitely* include good, hefty doses of antioxidants!!!!
Tons of vitamins A,C,E, and some of the various herbal antioxidants, etc.
(There are very good nutrition books that would give focused ideas.)"
The trigger words for me were HEFTY and TONS.
What Shannon actually meant to say was "Obviously all I meant was "good-size
dose", which would be on the order of milligrams (or less), not tons..."
My additional point was that because these posts may be read by any one,
then some one with little experience or understanding the niceties of the
English language could make the mistake of really over-dosing with vits.
After all this, I believe the position is clear.
I think I declare the subject as closed!!
Smile every body please!!

Hi Soroush,
I agree with you that vitamin supplementation should not be done without
familiarity with some guidelines; these guidelines are readily available.
For some of us supplementation with vitamins and etc. can make the
difference between health and illness, between doing well and doing badly --
for some of us, this is true *even* while under homeopathic care. There are
many available tools, and all tools should be used with awareness and
respect, and it's IMO foolish to dismiss an approach that you do not have
familiarity with; it's not clever when allopaths do it about homeopathy, and
it's not clever when homeopaths do it about other modalities.
Best wishes,
Shannon
