My top 3 favorite supplements are:
DE in all water to build up joints, hair, nails eic. and kill parasites
Curcumin (turmeric) capsules as an antibiotic and to cure everything
And pao d' arco boiled 20 minutes with elderberries added at the end as a wonderful antimicrobial tea.
Diana, I have an old bottle that I dug out of my linen closet and on it the recommendations are to take 1 capsule two to three times a day. The capsules are 400mg. I've seen it around in the grocery stores so it doesn't seem that hard to find. I also read the customer reviews on Iherb.com and they sounded encouraging and the bottles seemed relatively inexpensive (compared to some supps).
Once upon a time (years ago) I tried progesterone cream and it seemed like the answer to everything. I had energy and my body temp was warm, but I quit taking it. Since then I've tried it again and it just makes me feel awful. I don't know if it's because it is made with soy - or what the reason is. I've tried many different brands and they are all just junk because they make me feel so bad.
But maybe Vitex will help. This time I am willing to be patient and give it a good chance to see if it helps. I keep fantasizing that someday I will find one supplement that helps me so much I won't need anything else and I can quit keeping notebooks and documenting everything I take and how it makes me feel.
You are right it, is a lot of work and I just want to feel carefree again. Is that possible for a 41 yr old mother of 5?
