My supplements:
Fresh ginger - To combat being the coldest person alive, especially when my predominantly vata prakrte is out becomes excessively out of wack due to to traveling.
(They sell it at the health food store in pill form, so I can officially say it’s a supplement instead of just chopped up pieces of ginger in boiling water).

Amla berry pills when I think I might be getting a cold, or feel immune-compromised.
Himalaya Triphala supplements when I’m feeling irregular.
Melatonin to assist with jet-lag recovery.

And last time I was overseas I picked up this cute little bottle of Organic India “Flexibility” herb capsules, labeled for arthritis relief. I had an inflamed SI Joint at the time. It didn’t help that at all, but I get a good giggle out of offering them to people who are being mentally inflexible. he he he.

I checked out Dr. Budwig and it makes so much sense. I pass this information on to a friend that has cancer. Thank you for the information.

[QUOTE=oak333;65969]Power of Olive Oil

Interestingly, the highest longevity nowadays is not in Japan, but in the Greek island of
Creta.

The medical researchers attribute that, to a great extent, to the large intakes of olive oil.

By the way. Yhe inhabitants of Creta are smokers.

I have seen in Toronto quite a few Italians placing slices of bread in extra virgin olive oil
and esting them. Basically, they use olive oil instead of butter.

Some of them were in their seventies-----and partying !

Do your own research. Olive oil might be a good “supplement.”[/QUOTE]

Ooooops ! You have to be careful of the quality of virgin oil. It looks like many “virgin oils” on the markets are just fake:

A good “supplement” is WHEAT GERM.

It contains vitamin E, proteins, vitamin B and is helpful in prevention of many diseases:

It is also quite cheap and can be bought in food stores.

Alert: do not eat too much of it. Just research how much is good for you.

You raised a very important question here, I think at least one person here knows what eating disorder is. I refused from all the diets, but I do love supplements from melaleuca , different organic products, fruits and vegetables.
