Because of our usual dietary habits and the quality of the food, as well as the normal stresses and demands of daily living, you never know on a day-to-day basis what essential nutrients you’re missing from your food. You often hear doctors say that supplements and vitamins only make for expensive urine. I say, better to have expensive urine than cheap urine! You absorb what you need and eliminate what you don’t. So, daily nutritional supplements and basic vitamins are necessary for almost everybody.
Supplement quality is directly related to supplement efficacy. The better the quality of your supplements, the better the job they will do for you.
To help ensure that you provide your body with sufficient amounts of the nutrients it needs to function at optimal levels, a good multivitamin/mineral is important. It will act as a security blanket, covering common diet deficiencies. In addition to a good multivitamin/mineral supplement, I recommend that most people take a basic foundation of nutritional supplements. These will support
the body’s general health regardless of underlying health conditions.
Basic foundation supplements I recommend to my patients include:
•Econugenics Pectasol powder, lime infusion – 2 scoops per day
•Purity’s Perfect Multi 2 twice a day or a similar quality multivitamin Vitamin D3 (2,000 – 5,000 IU daily)
•Omega-3 fatty acids (1,000 – 3,000 mg twice per day)
•Vitamin C (either a sustained-release formula of 1,000 mg twice per day, or general vitamin C 1,000 mg three times per day)—these are minimums.
•Magnesium (any form other than magnesium oxide) 350-500 mg/day
Curcumin, 500 mg twice a day to reduce inflammation (optional)
•Green tea extract, 500 mg twice a day for general well-being and prevention (optional)
When using PEMF therapies, maintaining proper levels of magnesium in the body is vital because PEMFs cause a great deal of calcium ion movement in the body. Magnesium is what calcium latches on to as it moves in and out of the cell, so a magnesium deficiency may undermine the effectiveness of PEMF treatments. Most good multivitamins, including the one recommended above, will provide adequate magnesium levels. Since most of us could use more magnesium, supplementation with it is recommended, especially when PEMF therapy is employed regularly.
