What the hell is wrong with me?

 Okay, that's some low-hanging fruit, isn't it. But I'm actually talking about my health.

I'm sick. Again. Really, really sick. High fever, no voice, sore throat, chills, body aches, the whole deal. WHY???

I eat reasonably well. I like my leafy greens. I take vitamins. Okay I could have gotten more exercise in the past few months--but we're talking

Stress is very hard on the body, and when you combine it with the kidlets and the germs they're bringing home on a daily basis... yikes. You're on the right track with vitamins and exercise. I take a SH*Tload of vitamins per day, waaaay pass a multi. Lots of antioxidants, lots of fiber to keep the toxins cleaned out of the body, drink LOTS of water. 1000 mg of C and 400 iu of E within 10 minutes of each meal to clean the fat out of the blood (one of the few things that's actually been proven to work in studies). While it sounds tasty, the bourbon is probably not a good idea. I love my white zin, but frankly, the more I drink, the poorer in general I feel. Do you take iron? It can make a big difference in a woman. The best kind is Soloray's iron asporotate, difficult to find except online but not at all expensive. This type of iron is absorbed by the body while other types just pass through. Take at least 2,000 mg of calcium daily (at a different time than the iron, because each inhibits the other's absorption). Be sure to

WOW thanks for all the awesome advice! What kind of E do you take?
Heh. I was actually kidding about the bourbon, this time anyway. My throat hurts so much I can't get anything more challenging than tea and popsicles past it.
There's iron in my multi, but probably not enough. I'll check out the Soloray stuff. No no, I appreciate the helath book! I need SOMETHING. I'm starting to feel like a one-woman plague ship.

Just regular gelcaps, 400 iu. I have, however, heard that E tocopherals are better, but I don't know the truth of that. You get better!!!

Heh...I remember squeezing those capsules on my belly after my gallbladder surgery. That tocopheral smell NEVER comes out of your clothes. But it sure worked well.

HA I just checked out the NZymes site. I love it! It's for every critter in the house! I'm definitely gonna try that too. Maybe it'll help with Jack's Death Farts.
