Marlene 0 Report post Posted March 8, 2007 I think everyone needs health supplements to a certain extent as we can't get as much nutrients from our food the way our ancestors did because (1) we're eating more refined and processed stuff now, which are sometimes laden with preservatives too (2) the soils are also depleted of essentials nutrients and minerals due to commercial farming I take cod liver oil, Vit E and EPO though not on a daily basis but i find that i hvnt had a cold in more than 2 years since i've started taking supplements and became more health conscious...though i must admit, i did not see any changes physically. I am suffering from weak liver which is slow in de-toxing so now i'm also takng Vit c and a supplement called MSM ( organic sulfur, which is largely needed by liver for detoxing ) and the effects are great : my nails grow like crazy, my pimples heal within a few days whereas they used to take weeks, and scars clear up real fast too ). Some ppl think it's a waste of money to take supplements but i think taken in moderation ( as per the guidelines given by the manufacturer ) it should be ok and beneficial to health.

smileyc240 0 Report post Posted March 20, 2007 I used to take EPO 1000mg 3 times a day to stop my PMS. But i find that my skin is oilier than before. Finally my sister told me that EPO cannot take too much else it will excrete throught our skin causing it oilier. For young age like us, 500mg to 1000mg of EPO a day is enough. Now i understand why EPO is so good for matured wrinkle skin.Now i maintain my health with 3000mg Vitamin C a day and a glass of red wine every night before i sleep.

stryker 0 Report post Posted November 4, 2007 A Cancer Killer In The KitchenThe powerful healing effects of ginger have been well documented. It'sa proven remedy for upset stomach. Reams of studies show that it inhibits inflammation. And there is substantial evidence that itfights cancer too.For instance, a recent University of Michigan study showed that whenginger was added to ovarian cancer cells in the laboratory, it caused the cancer cells to self-destruct (a process known as "apoptosis"). Ina separate study at the University of Minnesota, researchers injectedcolon cancer cells into mice that were bred to have no immune system. Half of these micewere routinely fed gingerol, the main active component in ginger. Theresearchers found that the mice that were fed gingerol lived longer,their tumors were smaller, and the cancer did not spread as widely as in the control group.With all these health benefits, you should be using ginger as often asyou can. The best way I've found to get a healthy serving of ginger isto juice it. (The brand of juicer I use is an Omega.) Two or three days a week, you can juice an apple or two, some carrots, spinach,broccoli,cabbage, and a big piece of ginger root. The ginger will give thedrink a great flavor anda powerful anti-cancer kick. It's highly recommend ! Give it a try ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fluene 0 Report post Posted November 4, 2007 Sorry.. can i know what is EPO?? I never take any supplement before.. I wish to take something now coz worry next time i get old, my skin still look nice and smooth... Im 24 this year.. Please help!!EPO is evening primrose oil. It is taken for its gamma linolenic acid wohich is omega 6. Its function is regulate hormones secretion, better metabolism, better skin function, etc. You do not have to take EPO just for the omega 6. Besides EPO, you can take things like flaxseed, or other supplements which containcs Omega 3,6,9. Better to take Omega 3,6,9 because it will contain all the essential fatty acids that are needed for good health Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
