Re: Supplements - multivitamins

Also, sometimes people will take a cocktail of supplements. The problem with this is that nobody, not even naturopaths know the long term effects of mixing very many different supplements. You could be a guineau pig setting yourself up for the long term development of cancer or some other serious medical condition by doing this, without even knowing until it is too late.

Hanna is correct, once your liver, kidney, and colon are clean your body will begin to work like clock work as your biochemistry becomes more balanced and your organs and digestive system begins to work at peak efficiency.

I think supplements are great for the short term and may temporarirly give your body a quick boost to help speed up recovery. A good multivitamin and mineral supplement won't hurt when you are first trying to regain your health, especially if your lifestyle(i.e., you travel a lot) is such that you are unable to consume sufficient fruits and vegetables. Also, keep in mind that your body will be able to gain maximum benefits of any supplements once your digestive systems and organs are operating at peak efficiency.

On the question of supplements and formation of stones. There are so many factors(toxins in the environment, rapid weight loss or gain, etc.,) that contribute to liver/gall bladder stone formation. It neither preferable or possible to be stone free as the body will continue to form stones no matter what you do(it is a natural process). The goal of Liver Flushing is to improve the quality of your bile and to get rid of old "silent stones" that have the potential to become calcified and become "killer stones" that may require removal of your gall bladder. The removal of so called liver and gall bladder stones and the resulting improved quality of bile will improve the overall functioning of your liver and your digestive system and lead to greatly improved health. As this happens and through a healthier diet, regular diet, effective strategies to minimize stress, your body will automatically produce less stones.

Best Wishes.
