Hi 714,
I mainly wanted to second Dez's suggestion to you that you include vitamin C in your health regimen. "For my money," I would make it a Bowel Tolerance dose daily [in as many divided dose as was practicable] per this article by a medical doctor http://vitamincfoundation.org/www.orthomed.com/titrate.htm.
I wish you the best of success, 714, in your search for better health! If you have any questions, comments, and/or concerns about ascorbate/vitamin C therapy, please post them here.
Sincerely,
David
