People keep wanting to know about what I do for my own vitamin and mineral supplementation, especially in regards to my children.

• My family uses a variety of green products -chlorella, barley grass, wheat grass, kelp, spirulina.
• Y.S. Organic Beepollen/Royal Jelly
• Udo's oil all year- and fish oil in the winter (for vitamin D)
• Magnesium citrate capsules from Solar ray.
• Triphala herb combination-

We use dosha specific herbs from time to time, and homeopathy, but this is our daily schedule. Many of you know how much I HATE and LOATHE pyramid based companies. I had spent years in Mannatech, Shaklee, AIM, SeaSilver, and a myriad of other companies.

A friend of mine got me into Mannatach by convincing me she was healed from cancer because of ambrotrose- I believed her and followed her around while she coaxed money from people and convinced everyone how healthy she was. Hypnotically, I spent over $120 a month on these supplements. Well, my friend died two years later from the cancer-meanwhile, Mannatech became much much richer off of their hypnotic sales ploys and of course, no one was getting up and talking about her death. In fact, all of the Mannatech "handlers" I knew just blot her name out of everything. This is what made me think of it as a cult. The poster child then become the renegade truth they were trying to hide from exposure. Unfortunately, this lead to the cold and inhumane treatment of a "friend" who died making her friends "more wealthy." Where was the thanks? She was just a notch in the belt.

I have another story, about twelve years ago I was very much into Shaklee. I was following the advice of a pseudo naturopath Shaklee rep. who told me when I was pregnant I had to take everyday six herbal laxative pills. It wasn't until I became a Naturopath doctor myself did I learn that all of those herbs are dangerous to the fetus and harmful to take while pregnant!! (This was my autistic sons pregnancy)

So, I am very very careful about what I get involved with and what I represent, those of you who know how I practice-I believe good health should not cost alot and that the human body only needs to be nudged faithfully in the right direction. People in pyramid schemes have dollar signs in their eyes and that is what makes their health jargon biased and scary.

Many people have asked me about Chlorella, super expensive product, and I don't believe it needs to be taken every day- maybe 3 months at first, and one month a year afterward. Sun chlorella is a great brand but doctor mercola offers chlorella at an affordable price.

Happy Healing to everyone!!
