What do you suggest for very low iron that may help? Can imbalance cause this even though no disease is indicated? May barley greens drinks help?
View Answer
It is best to ask your doctor to find out exactly how much you
should be taking to try to repair your deficiency. Most people who need
iron take about 18mg. In your case, if it is very low, you may need more.
It is important to ask your doctor exactly how much you should be taking,
as too much iron is toxic to the body. Since your levels are very low, it
is also important that you discuss with doctor the possible causing factor
for your deficiency. Poor absorption of vitamin B12 can be a factor of
having very low iron levels, but there are a number of other possible
causes. So, it is best to discuss this with your doctor.
As for barley greens, it is said that they can help to build the blood.
These claims have not been fully substantiated however, barley grass does
provide a number of different nutrients that do help to support healthy
blood, such as B vitamins, including B12, and some iron. It also contains
a powerful antioxidant enzyme called Super Oxide Dismutase (S.O.D.) that
may help protect the cells from free radical damage.

what remedy do you suggest for a young person going thru growing pains?
View Answer
There are some things that may help to relieve growing pains. Applying a heating pad and massaging the affected area may provide some relief. Regular stretching exercises may also help.
While it is very uncomfortable for your child, comfort them and remind them that it is normal, and that it will soon pass.
You should consult your child’s pediatrician if the pain is persistent or if there is swelling or redness in one particular area or joint, if your child is limping, or if the pain is still present in the morning. You should also consult a physician if you notice a fever or rash or any unusual behavior, such as loss of appetite, weakness, tiredness, etc.

Do you think farm raised salmon is a good product? I have heard pro and cons and would like your opinion.
View Answer
It is best to try to eat wild caught fish if possible. Not only does it
taste better, but it is probably better for you. While the two types have
shown to have the same amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, there are some
concerns with eating farm raised fish. Farmed salmon is fed artificial
color, may pollute the ocean and may contain more environmental toxins
called PCBs. All salmon appears to be low in potentially toxic mercury.
Almost all canned salmon is wild. Red and pink canned salmon have as much
disease-fighting omega-3 as fresh wild salmon.

I have been taking the multi nutrient formula for years as well as juice plus. The juice plus people say you dont need the multis if you take their stuff, but i dont think so...any comments?
View Answer
I am familiar with the Juice Plus products, however have never actually
seen a full ingredient listing. The Juice Plus website, as far as I can
see, for some reason, does not provide a complete supplement facts
listing. There may be a certain overlapping of nutrients that one should
be mindful of, but it probably would be ok to take both products.
If you are interested in superfood products, you may want to consider our
Multi-Nutrient Formula Gold. It contains the antioxidant capacity of 15
servings of fruits and vegetables. Click here to read more about our Gold

I would like to know what you thing about lithium aspartate regarding Alzheimer's disease and protecting the brain against different stresses. I would also like to ask if you think it is safe to take 5mg of Lithium aspartate while I am on a low dose of prozac, 10 mg a day.
View Answer
I would definitely advise against taking lithium with prozac or any other
antidepressant medication. Taking serotonergic antidepressants with
lithium may increase the likelihood of serotonergic side effects including
serotonin syndrome and cerebral vasoconstrictive disorders such as
Call-Fleming syndrome.
Many people use lithium for helping with a number of different health
issues. You should check with reputable health care practitioner to help
further advise you.

I'm 64 and last fall noticed my hair thinning around my temples and in the middle of the top of my head. I have a gray streak in this spot also. The rest of my hair is still dark. Since we women are not supposed to take HRT any longer and I discontinued same about 5 years ago, could I be suffering from a lack of estrogen or too much testosterone? Are there any supplements to safely increase one/s estrogen?
View Answer
It may be wise to get your hormone levels tested to see what your body may
be low or high in. It sounds like the cause of your hair loss is probably
hormonal, due to where it seems to be falling out, but it is probably best
to try and find out exactly what is causing it.
There are some natural substances that help to balance hormones. Our
Multi-Nutrient Formula Plus with Menopause Support has soy isoflavones and
an herb called black Cohosh, both contain phytoestrogens, or plant
estrogen-like substances. Find our Multi-Nutrient Formula Plus with
Menopause Support here: http://www.stopagingnow.com/products/detail/MNFM
