 CA Cancer Journal Clinicians 43: 309-19, 1993] The American Cancer Society says: "If a supplement is taken, the best choice is a balanced multivitamin/mineral supplement containing no more than 100% of the Daily Value of most nutrients, because high doses of some nutrients can have harmful effects." [American Cancer Society 2006] So therefore, are we to illogically consent to surgery, chemo and radiation therapy, which have been disproven?

 A high-quality multivitamin/mineral is also recommended to sustain overall healthy hair. Follow the instructions on the bottle.
General recommendations: Do not overuse chemical products for your hair, for example perms, dyes, etc. Refrain from using a blow-dryer more than once a week. Wash your hair every other day and do not use shampoos with harsh chemicals.
TIP: WASH YOUR HAIR LESS FREQUENTLY
The natural oils that protect your hair can be lost through overwashing. Depending on the weather and environmental conditions, wash your hair once every three to five days. |
| A good multivitamin/mineral is recommended to sustain overall healthy skin. Follow the instructions on the bottle. Vitamin E is also helpful in treating dry skin. Mix 4 oz of jojoba oil or non-scented almond oil with 20 drops of rose oil and 20 drops of lavender (for their pleasant smell) with 10 drops of vitamin E. This mixture will moisturize the skin.
General recommendations: Refrain from using soap every day when showering, as it tends to eliminate the natural oils secreted from the glands of your skin. |

 Mary also received a multivitamin/mineral preparation of my design, in addition to one gram of magnesium intravenously on a daily basis.
I did see some hope for Mary after she endured that move. But, despite the fact that I had lobbied to get coenzyme Q10 on our hospital formulary for several years, the other critical-care doctors and nurses there were extremely skeptical of using coenzyme Q10 in this life-threatening case. Mary looked like a train wreck with all her tubes and physical issues. What they all were about to observe was truly a resurrection. |

| Caution: Even if you fall into one of these categories, don't take supplements that contain iron—including multivitamin/mineral supplements—until you have been tested for hemochromatosis (iron overload).
Reason: Excess iron exacerbates this hereditary condition and can lead to cirrhosis of the liver, heart failure, etc. A serum ferritin test can best measure the body's iron stores. In men, normal serum ferritin should be 20 to 300 milligrams per milliliter (mg/mL).. .in women, 15 to 200 mg/mL. |

| In addition, we should take at least 1 gram of fish oil a day regardless of our health. A multivitamin/mineral complex with 1 gram of fish oil is a must for all of us.
In anyone with a history of coronary calcification, coronary artery disease or in those with stents or bypass, I would also strongly recommend vitamin K2.

 Most patients with Crohn's disease could benefit from a broad-spectrum, high-potency, hypo-allergenic multivitamin/mineral formula. Nutrient supplementation may help prevent the decline in immune function that often accompanies Crohn's disease. The minerals zinc and copper, as well as vitamins C, E, and A, and the B-vitamins, all have anti-inflammatory and tissue-healing effects. Supplementing with these nutrients might therefore promote healing of inflamed intestinal tissue and help prevent the formation of fistulas. |

 Multivitamin: A good multivitamin/mineral supplement supplies nearly 100 percent of the Daily Value for each essential vitamin and mineral.
Vitamin B-complex: Taking more than the Daily Values for the B vitamins is like supplemental health insurance. It helps to maintain and improve the function of every cell in your body, especially those in your brain.2 You can purchase an inexpensive B-complex such as B50 or B100, or you can splurge on the Rolls Royce of B vitamins— Bio-strath, a Swiss preparation that also is rich in antioxidants. |

 Multivitamin/Mineral Supplements
It makes supplement programs much easier if you start out with a high-quality multivitamin/mineral combination. In these descriptions of how to take individual supplements, the basic recommended amounts for many of them will usually be found in such a multi, and you will probably need to take from four to eight tablets per day to get those doses. Sometimes the amount in the multi is adequate for most health needs if you do not want to take too many pills, but usually a number of additional supplements will enhance your health program. |

 Some of the nutrients mentioned above appear together in multivitamin/mineral (p. 314) supplements. One double-blind trial used a multivitamin/mineral supplement containing vitamin B6 (600 mg per day), magnesium (500 mg per day), vitamin E (200 IU per day), vitamin A (25,000 IU per day), B-complex vitamins, and various other vitamins and minerals.40 This supplement was found to relieve each of the four different categories of symptoms that have been associated wtih PMS. Similar results were reported in another study.41

Fibromyalgia
Some doctors say that fibromyalgia comes from using muscles too much, to the point where they are stressed or get injured. Others say it's the result of not using your muscles enough, another consequence of a sedentary lifestyle. Either way, this condition leaves muscles hurting so bad that the pain interferes with moving around and even sleeping. |

| The 5-15 mg often found in a high-potency multivitamin/mineral supplement (p. 314) is generally considered to be a reasonable level for those wishing to supplement manganese. Are There Any Side Effects or Interactions? Amounts found in supplements (5-20 mg) have not been linked with any toxicity. Excessive intake of manganese can lead to the rare side effects of dementia and psychiatric symptoms. Preliminary research suggests that individuals with cirrhosis may not be able to properly excrete manganese; until more is known, these people should not supplement manganese. |
