  1. Hi, Years ago I was diagnosed that I was allergic to
    something that is common within adult multivitamins. When I
    take a multivitamin I wind up in the hospital for days. It
    is not very nice. My doctor years ago told me to chew a few
    children's vitamins instead. I currently chew 2 Flinstones a
    day. Has anyone heard of any ill effects or have negative
    reactions to this choice? I have not found any information
    concerning this topic.

    Thanks, Brian

    Vitamins & Minerals

    I have always believed that we should strive to eat things
    that were created by Nature, and in as natural a form as
    possible. Our bodies were designed to absorb nutrients in
    chelated form. In reviewing the many nutritional supplements
    available for sale, I recognized that the heating, and high
    degree of processing changed them from chelated form to a
    manufactured form that cannot be fully and efficiently
    metabolized by our bodies. I knew that many of the higher
    quality of these products were in a base of natural
    ingredients and herbs, but wondered what the actual vitamins
    and minerals were made out of. I had assumed the were made
    from food.

    As it turns out, nothing could be further from the truth.
    Most vitamin and mineral supplements currently made are NOT
    blended foods. In fact most are made from very undesirable,
    even horrifying substances. If you look on your current
    bottle of nutrients, it will state the vitamins, minerals,
    and a long list of non nutrient items that do not offer any
    wanted benefits, such as starch, wheat, cellulose, soy,
    lactose coloring, flavoring, fillers, etc.

    Commercial grade vitamin and mineral concentrates are
    synthesized by the big pharmaceutical and chemical
    industries* from the same starting material that drugs are
    made from (coal tar, petroleum products, animal by-products
    / waste and fecal matter, ground rocks, stones, shells and
    metal). These processed materials are sold to many nutrient
    manufacturers. The manufacturers are just mixing middlemen
    who don't even know how these various vitamins and minerals
    are made, or from what, nobody asks. Everybody just assumes
    a vitamin is a vitamin.

    The United States Pharmacopeia ( U.S.P. ) states that if a
    product looks similar under a microscope, or in analysis,
    that it is the same regardless of what it is made out of.
    For instance salicylic acid u.s.p. is considered identical
    whether it comes from wintergreen leaves or by boiling
    coal in carbolic and sulfuric acids. It also considers
    glycerin u.s.p. identical whether it is made from fresh
    vegetables, toxic minerals or boiled down animal
    carcasses, cartilage and feet.

    Vitamins

    Many products marketed as natural vitamins, may actually be
    derived from sources that are not very desireable. Vitamin
    B-12 and cyanocobalamin, is made from either ground up cow
    livers or activated sewage sludge. If our cows are fed
    steroids, antibiotics, growth hormones and grass full of
    pesticides, how toxic are their livers? The sewage sludge is
    just that, fecal matter.

    Given that in today's environment, our immune systems are
    already depressed, these materials would be a health risk,
    not a health benefit. Just because a so-called natural
    substance (fecal matter is a natural substance) is high in a
    particular vitamin, does not make it suitable for food.

    Vitamin A is made from fish liver juices that we know are
    loaded with PCB's and mercury, B vitamins from coal tar and
    petro-chemicals, known central nervous system depressants,
    respiratory irritants and carcinogens, Vitamin C from acid
    blends irritating to the lining of the digestive tract,
    Vitamin D from radiated oil, Vitamin E from Eastman Kodak,
    and on and on. We are too often driven by the financial
    needs of business and too little for our true well-being.

    Minerals

    The minerals commonly used in mineral supplements are mined
    ore, pulverized and powdered to a fine dust. Some calcium is
    made from ground up oyster shells. This is not a form that
    is useable by our bodies. Modern research confirms that
    minerals of this type are 99% inassimilable. The
    manufacturers response to this is to add pig digestive
    enzymes, which supposedly pre-digests it or chelates it, in
    their attempts to force our body to accept these toxic
    materials. We cannot find any proof that this provides any
    duplication of chelation.

    These manufactured supplements not only provide little
    benefit, they could contribute to the further
    accumulation of toxins in our bodies. What we need is a
    natural whole food.

    Aphanizomenon flos-aquae is a whole food containing all the
    vitamins and minerals required to be healthy. Algae is the
    fundamental basis of the entire food chain -- the
    foundational nutrient source for creating and renewing all
    life on earth. Aphanizomenon flos-aquae is the crème de la
    crème of all algae, one of the planet's most powerful foods.
    Tucked away in the Cascade Mountains of Southern Oregon, fed
    by a network of mountain streams and springs, anchored in
    deep volcanic soil and 35 feet of mineral-rich sediment,
    Upper Klamath Lake is one of nature's most miraculous
    nutrition resources of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae. This single-
    celled organism is richly endowed with a vast array of
    easily assimilated nutrients including: essential fatty
    acids, active enzymes, vitamins, amino acids, minerals,
    protein, complex sugars, and phytonutrients.

    That's not crediting your source, Spammin' Dave, because you
    didn't write *that* [censored] either. Where'd you steal it?

    No, it's not. You're lying again, Spammin' Dave. Algae is a
    *terrible* source of most nutrients; you'd have to consume
    bottles of the stuff every day just to reach RDA levels,
    and you wouldn't be getting balanced amounts of them even
    if you did.

    The nutrition labels tell the story -- and the story is that
    the algae is a very poor choice if you're trying to get your
    vitamins and minerals. You'd do almost as well going out to
    the yard and eating grass.

    opinions only, but they're almost always correct. "If I
    have not seen as far as others, it is because giants were
