you guys are COMPLETELY missing out by no taking the absolutely #1 supplement, that is Fish Oil. It is literally a cure all for so many things. It is an absolute protector against heart disease, one of the biggest killer and the NewEngJMed says it reduces your risk by 50%. Also, it is a biggie against mental disorders, also extremely beneficial to young children and esp. pregnant women.

Also, there is very, very good evidence for Glucosamine and to a much lesser extent Chondroitin. The trouble is doctors don't make much money on either of these supplements and they are widely and cheaply available, so no doctor power needed.

Multivitamins may or may not work, evidence is controversial, as is for many other vitamins, but if you look at fish oil and glucosamine you will find they have been quite proven. The studies on glucosamine are remarkable, showing decrease in loss of joint knee space. But the MD.'s twist everything around, like any politician, can you believe the groundbreaking study showed that Gluc didn't work for mild knee pain, only severe pain, and so it was widely publicized as not working!

Anyway, I'm a Chiropractor and do a lot of personal research on medline. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=pubmed
That is a useful site to know how to use. I have many studies on my hard drive and would be happy to share them with those who are interested. (although I'm out of date by about a year or so).

off topic, but check out all the chiro studies i reviewed on my website www.ourchiropractic.com it is basic, just download the pdf.'s and look at them. Note: hate to miss business with pleasure around here, but just trying to contribute.

The problem with that is most other choices for a natural cause of death are significantly more unpleasant than a heart attack. next time your doctor explains the importance of preventing heart disease, ask him what he'd prefer that you die from.

Fish Oil ,whoda thunk?

Thats right, you just keep hydrating in the form of ice.

we eat fish 3X week. Lots of salmon.

MR TC has quite the cocktail ( or should I say breakfast side dish) of supplements in the morning.
Fish oil for cholesterol
Cardatone for blood pressure
GS 500 for joint structure
Multivitamin
New Chapter Breathe for Lung support

In years past, he took the GS500 and Multivitamin, which was enough, but after he was put on prednisone for a lung condition he has, his body began to metabolize differently and he started to have cholesterol and BP issues. The Fish Oil and cardatone put those things in check and the Breathe has made a huge positive impact on his lung capacity, which was at 68% and is currently at 77%

salmon are high in PCBs. especially farmed salmon. mackerel and sardines are better.

MMMM, PCB's, love em', especially with BBQ sauce....

Immediately following an intense workout, I usually consume a time tested carbohydrate replacement drink.

Beer.

Ahhh. I missed that post.

Vitamin W... the original analgesic drink.

Wine: The other other white meat. The alternate way to lubricate the joints, reduce heart disease and improve mental outlook.

When adding the ice supplemental to the scotch staple be cautious not to over-hydrate.

Multivitamin
81mg Aspirin
Wine
Gin Martini -up
Lipitor and other presribed remidies that vary from time to time.
Tried the Glucosomine for a month or two and stopped because it seemed so expensive. I waste more money eating out each week than the Glucosomine cost for a year so I probably should get back on it.

Viagra
Absinthe
Oxycontin
Whiskey
Crack Cocaine
Bacon
Beer
Shots of adrenaline injected into my eyeball.
And a multi vitamin.

Outside of the elderly who may not be able to prepare balanced diets, bedridden or covered individuals who don’t get sunlight, chronically ill, pregnant women, those who drink heavily (our scotch users here ) strict vegetarians and vegans who don’t consume dairy and meat products and are unable to substitute with high protein foods such as pulses and beans; its doubtful that anyone here but Olympic athletes are exhausting body nutrients at a daily rate that in turn could be ingested and absorbed at a frequency and volume considering the type of supplements so listed.

Pissing your money away is a fitting colloquial with respect to the water-soluble vitamins not stored in the body. For the remaining 4 fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) stored in excess in your liver, asking that organ to deal with yet more toxic stress is unnecessary aside from the numerous studies that continue to demonstrate the ill effects of overdosing.

Not surprising are the world class marketing skills that have us so convinced to pop-a-pill rather than focus on the real effort of constructing balanced meals, incorporating daily strenuous exercise while finding the right mental and physical work/life balance in our busy lives. Undoubtedly the placebo effect the wonder multi-vitamins and supplements provide is certainly comforting as it insidiously allows us to put off or ignore the truth; drop the pill bottle, break a sweat and plan each meal as your only body needs the priority

DAYAM!

Now I realize that I need to get out and exercise so I can keep up with the FOY this season!

Being one of those neo-veggie fools, I have taken to a fiber/protein injected smoothie in the morning (cherries, blueberries, beets, and some other misc. fruit...no added sugar).

On most days I go for a massive salad for lunch, perhaps injected with salmon or some beans/tofu for protein.

Dinner is either fish or some kind of bean/rice concoction or perhaps the patented Dookey Pizza (homemade whole grain crust with a variety of interesting toppings).

Snacking is relegated to the occassional Lara Bar (if i miss the smoothie for b-fast, usually), a simple mixture of cashews/almonds/pistacios, goji berries, mulberries, and a triple mixture of Barbara's Puffins (original and cinamon) and Barabara's Shredded Oat cereals (eaten dry). Desert is usually relegated to a few squares (between 6 and 12) of high grade chocolate. And I have been tweaking a serious ginger cookie recipe using organic sugar, homemade cherry purree, homemade ginger purree.

Other'n that, trying to stay away from anything with HFCS (high fructose corn syrup).
