Instructions for Taking Nutritional Supplements
1. Always take calcium-magnesium
and vitamin C together and between meals. It is best to take them one hour
before meals or 45 minutes after meals. This improves absorption.
2. Allergic reactions
to food supplements:
Since supplements are made of food sources
and one may be allergic to certain foods, it is possible to have a reaction
to a supplement because of the food it was extracted from. If you have
any reaction after taking any supplement, please discontinue using it and
call the office for instructions.
3. When first starting
your supplements, begin by adding one new item per meal according to the
following schedule:
1. Start taking
Calcium-Magnesium and Vitamin C and homeopathics.
2. Any digestive enzymes
recommended.
3. Multiple vitamin and
mineral supplement if recommended.
4. B Complex if recommended.
5. Others, added one
at a time one per meal until you are taking them all.
* Niacin: If you are beginning
to take niacin, please be sure to take it with food, preferable a large
meal including protein. If you should experience a flushing sensation,
drink some extra water and the symptoms should subside in a few moments
and may decrease with use. If the flushing is severe, please discontinue
the niacin and call the office for instructions.
* Homeopathic Medicines:
All homeopathics are to be taken away from meals. In general, do not eat
or drink anything for twenty minutes before or after taking them. They
should be dissolved under the tongue and not rinsed down with water.
* Biophosphates: They
should be chewed and sloshed around under the toungue and on top of the
tongue until dissolved and also not rinsed down with water.
* Homeopathic Drops:
These are to be taken either mixed in a teaspoon of water or directly under
the tongue, sloshed around in the front part of the mouth and held there
for about ten seconds before swallowing. Again, do not rinse with water.
*** Please note: Caffeine,
mint, and camphor will counteract the effect of all homeopathic cell salts.
Please avoid using these substances while taking homeopathic medicines.
Do not brush teeth with mint toothpaste fifteen minutes before or after
taking homeopathics. Also, do not store homeopathics in bright light, near
strong odors, and do not allow homeopathics to be x-rayed (i.e. in airports,
etc.).
