VITAMINS & SUPPLEMENTS

Taking a high quality, high potency multiple viamin/mineral is one of the most important things you can do for your health. Over the past 20 years of reading books and research about integrative healthcare, this is a recurring theme.

A "one-a-day" vitamin like Centrum is better than nothing, but they are low quality and absorb poorly. A really good multiple vitamin requires taking 4 to 6 capsules each day. This takes a commitment, but it is easy.

Patients need to educate themselves to understand why this is so good for you. There are many great books out there, but the one I recommend the most is "The Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine" by Murray and Dizzorno. This book has thousands of references and is a great read.

Vitamin D research published last year showed that it decreased the chance of getting all cancers significantly, with NO side effects. How about a 50% less chance of getting breast cancer! Or a 75% less chance of colo-rectal cancer!

No vitamin/mineral supplement has shown to decrease your chance of having cancer like Vitamin D. The RDA value for Vitamin D is 400 i.u. a day, but taking up to 3000 i.u. a day had no negative side effects. Our office works with several MD's that can help evaluate your condition, by referral. Selenium has also been shown to reduce cancer incidences; 200 mcg is recommended. But all vitamins and minerals have different effects and work best with proper advice

People see and hear many conflicting opinions about vitamins and minerals, but we believe they are very important.

When you combine exercise and supplements, you are bound to be happier and healthier.
