Vitamins, supplements, herbs... what do you take?

[teekin]

Some bodies are just down right happier on vegan/ raw diets. I can eat lean fish and the occasional egg but mammel flesh of any kind is very disagreeable to me. Processed foods are the same.
As for supplements I take a packaged multi, chromium, slo-fe, C and Ca+2. A great deal of this is due to the medication I take however which induces nausea, shuts down peristalsis and knocks out hunger. You know how if you don't eat for 7-8 hours you get hungry? Your tummy rumbles and you start thinking about food? Well I don't. I just don't get hungry anymore.

You may have to suppliment any way depending on how high your blood sugar gets you may have to start supplementing different vitamins, electrolytes, and minerals to compensate for decreased leveles of water soluble vitamins due to increased urine out put, acidification due to chronic hyperglycemia, as well as sbsequent and progressive demineralization of the bones from chronic hyperglycemia and/or ketoacidosis. but check with your doctor/diabetes specialist and a nutritionist first to see what may be necessary.

At the moment, my blood sugar is well-controlled with diet, exercise, and my medication. My last A1C was 6.0, which is excellent. If things change, I will do whatever is necessary to keep that A1C low. However, with the most recent changes to health insurance in the USA (thank you, President Obama), I can no longer use the money I had put aside for over-the-counter medical supplies to purchase those supplies. The money, which will no go unused thanks to the change in the law, will be forfeited at the end of the year, for which I sincerely thank the President. I do so enjoy being bent over shotgun style by our glorious leader.

Auwtch, those are some hard side-effects from the medication. I hope you can one day do without them!

The title pretty much sums it up. Just trying to get an idea of what some of you may take as dietary or workout suppliments.

Because I live in such a remote part of world anytime I tavel out I always try to find a Korean Market and stock up. I recomend Korean traditional fruit teas in glass jars for colds, cold weather and imune system just go there they will help you pick which ones.

Surpisingly I stoped going to Chinese Herb shops due to expense but last time in Oakland down town I could not believe how cheap 1/3 the cost of previous Korean markets must be the slow economy.

First eliminate any Caffenie in your life 100% then replace with Ginseng instant teas it will help your stomach and heart and endurance plus imune system you will feel 10 20 years younger after getting off coffee and other energy drinks.

There is a new tea I recomend for internal organs and weight loss especially women but they recomend for men to it is Royslim made by Power Health 9, Inc.

Also for daily dose of Ginseng when traveling or to suppliment in higher doses for training I recomend Red Ginseng extract balls or RED Ball Genseng about 900 balls in a jar for about $85 to $115 depending on where you buy it. it comes with a travel jar so I can pack it in my briefcase start slow maybe 3 balls then three times a day up to six balls three times a day see how your body reacts. Made in Japan but uses Korean Ginseng

There should be savings and money for prevention and wellness fees and medicine. Employers, Insurance companies and the government are going to start putting money into people loosing weight and getting healthier becasue they all know it is the only true way to lower costs!!!!

In the early 90's the insurance companies, pharmasuitcle and the government partnered to fund grant studies on community wellness programs. It was a sham totally biased program with funding removed in 3 years becasue they used the stats to say only medication and traditional treatment works, Of Course thats what they sell. Statistics in research can be interpreted any way to support a preconcieved or biased aproach so consider the source?

Will you give me some detail on your specific needs and costs to my email [email protected] As a person who had a terminal child for 8 years costing $4 million before she died and my wife is a very respected RN who has many health and medical issues and we have a new hospital for $170 million being built in our back yard we have a much different perspective than yours.

I can tell you this regarding AFLAC kill the duck they are total liars one of the worst rip off false advertising creeps in the business. I intend to turn them into the insurance commission and State Attorney General

I forgot to add I would like to do some research on your situation and see if I can come up with resources for you to change the negative financial impact. But I need more info.

Thanks Dan

My company offers an FSA (Flexible Spending Account) as an option to our health care, as many health care plans do. This is pre-tax money that I choose to contribute to the FSA at the beginning of the 'plan year'. In my case, my plan year begins in January, but we must make our elections in the preceding October.

The good part about an FSA is that it allows you to pay with pre-tax dollars. The bad part is that if you overestimate how much money you think you will spend, you lose any money left over at the end of the plan year - it is forfeited.

I was able to get reimbursement for certain OTC (over the counter) drugs and first-aid supplies from my FSA money. On that basis, I made my plan FSA contribution. I cannot change it now until the end of my plan year.

However, the government changed how FSA is reimbursed.

http://web.docuticker.com/go/docubase/60336

The Affordable Care Act, enacted in March, established a new uniform standard that, effective Jan. 1, 2011, applies to FSAs and health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs). Under the new standard, the cost of an over-the-counter medicine or drug cannot be reimbursed from the account unless a prescription is obtained.

What that means is that any money I put into my FSA next year that is intended for OTC drugs will be forfeit. I must pay post-tax money out-of-pocket for any OTC drugs purchased. So I won't be purchasing any, and I'll be reducing the amount of money I put into my FSA next year. The government wants to 'encourage us' to use the FSA. I say that as of now, they can cram it.
