Default Vitamin/Mineral Supplements and Dieting

Vitamin & Mineral supplements are an interesting subject.

For Calcium, you can take it, and it may not do you any good, at all.

Our metabolism is WAY complicated, and there are about 20 steps that
may be needed to make
the calcium you're ingesting, into calcium that your body can use. How
many steps are needed
depends on what exact kind of calcium we are taking in.

Each step along the way, you body has to have the building blocks
(enzymes, etc), to take that
calcium to the next step.

So just taking in Calcium may not do you any good at all, or it may
give you just what you need -- IF
your body can supply the several little steps to transform it, along
the way. Otherwise, it is worthless.

An easy answer to that problem, is to take your calcium (whatever),
along with a meal which includes
"complete protein", like non-fat milk, meat, etc. You don't need much
of it.

A recent large study found that taking Vitamin/Mineral supplements
regularly, was actually
shortening people's life spans. Hello!

Study's author's suggested the culprit was too much vitamin B iirc,
but more study is needed to be sure.

I still take my vitamin/mineral supplement, but only once or twice
each week. I always
try to take it with a meal which includes "complete" protein.

There is NO doubt whatsoever, that the pill pushers have oversold us
on the value of these
vitamin/mineral supplements, for most of us, in a first world
country.

Diet supplements are MUCH worse though - a total disgrace.

People please help us. Our daughter's dying. Excuse us for a spam distribution, but there's no other way. We cannot find the help in Russia.
My name is Igor, my wife's Julia. 4 years ago we have found out that we got AIDS. A short time later our daughter Tanya was born with the HIV diagnosis. When our daughter was on medical inspection doctors discovered congenital heart disease. We addressed for the help in the Children's hearts organization and were told we could send her on operation to Germany, but only in 5 months. It's impossible to wait that much since doctors said that the child with HIV infection and a heart disease would live 3 months at max. Such operations are made only in Germany. And it costs about 18 thousand US dollars + flight to Germany and post-surgical treatment. We have no such amount of money, however we found 3 thousand dollars. With my salary 200 dollars and the salary of the wife of 140 dollars, it takes years to save up the necessary sum. And the operation's to be done in a month. Rich people in our country very greedy. What people have we not asked! All did refuse. Now
we ask you Americans for help, you are the richest country in the world, and hope, that you understand our situation. I will kneel before you! I ask you to help, we'll be very glad to any sum. If we don't find your support, we have no choice but pray to God ?
