Two questions about the nutritional ...

1. Would you do castor oil packs? Are they helpful to the liver? Since I can't cleanse or flush - just wondering. They are a big PITA to do! But if they're helpful-
2. Also, just curious - I haven't started the program yet, but do you do ONLY the supps from the program or do you do your own stuff IN ADDITION? (Vitamin C or D or fish oil, etc.)?
Thanks!

MoreThis is a reply to # 2,031,528I do my own stuff as well, although they will recommend that you do not. I would give the program a while to just work with what they recommend before you decide you need to add to the protocol. Some vitamins, like vitamin C, could work against other vitamins/minerals in the program and dull the benefits (
(for ex:vitamin C stimulated adrenals, and chelates certain minerals etc.)
NB usually recommends that one do coffee enemas - which are kind of a hassle - to cleanse the liver. You could probably substitute castor oil, but I have never used them before.

MoreThis is a reply to # 2,031,643Thanks! I spend so much money on vitamins as it is now, I actually hoped that was the answer - just do what they tell you.
They estimated $180-$250 a month for the program, and when my partner and I were going over our budget, I wanted to be sure that was pretty accurate (and not in addition to all the supps I regularly take)
I can't handle ANY coffee enemas. Not sure how that is going to work. I crash hard.- Re: Two questions about the nutritio... Faith110

This is a reply to # 2,031,682I used castor oil packs for about 2 months. I really didn't notice much of a difference in my liver symptoms.
I agree with Seattle that it is better to follow the NB recommendations for the first few months before adding anything. I have added a few extra things, but they are only herbs and not vitamins, and my practitioner is aware and has approved them.
Plus there is already vitamin D and A naturally in fish oil. - Re: Two questions about the nutritio... SeattleK

This is a reply to # 2,031,682I did save some money by substituting ARL supps for other brands. Some of the complex formulas you should definitely get from ARL, but things like Taurine, Vitamin C (if its recommended), a B complex that are recommended you can get cheaper at a local health food store. I personally have substituted for the NOW brand which has been pretty cheap and decent.

This is a reply to # 2,031,758I agree with Seattle - the NOW brand of supplements seems to be a good way to go if you want to substitute. I use them for digestive enzymes, zinc and some others. But the combination formulas like Megapan and GB3, I just buy those from endomet.

This is a reply to # 2,031,528AskBella- Yes I did many castor oil packs and agree that they are a total PITA to do. I have the stains on my couch to prove it. I also never really felt any improvement whatsoever.
As others have done I also substituted a few supplements later on in the program. My advice is to just take whatever you are told to take. I had very good results by doing this and retesting every 4 months. My protocol always changed from test to test.
