Q. I am asking this question because i was advised by my doctor to regulary take vitamin tablets
A. life extension has some great multivitamin/mineral tablets...my friend is now 70, he takes them, and looks about 45 or 50. Taking poorly mixed amounts of vitamins and minerals is not good either, so if your going to take something, I'd do life extension. There is a lot of research and study necessary for you to know what they know about relationships and interrelationships, there is no B vitamin on the market with enough folic acid in it...and they can increase your need for the ones undersupplied and actually cause a deficiency. If you are deficient in folic acid you will know because you will get out of breath when you walk up stairs...and larger amounts can only be got by prescription or in Canada...it s in leafy green vegetables. Not that it's dangerous, unless your a strict vegetarian, and you don't take your B-12, and get pernicious anemia, and are taking folic acid, folic acid will mask the symptoms of pernicious anemia, so they took it away from all of us in any amounts will do anything, and is very bad for the babies to be undersupplied on this vitamin. Also a lot of multivitamin/mineral have iron in them, which I am totally against...since it destroys your vitamin E which protects your vitamin A and constipates you...they trying to get us used to doctors telling us take vitamins cuz they want to make them by perscrition only, therefore getting all the money and having us depend on our health 100% on doctors...itsbig now doctors telling everyone they need vitamin D-3, doctors have no training in nutrition, ie, how foods are broken down in your body and how the nutrients are used to make and keep you young and healthy, and if they are taught this, the schools lose their grants..ask your doc what training he had in this! lol.if you want to learn about it easy and fun buy a used copy of lets eat right to keep fit, by Adelle Davis...she saved my life when the doctors couldn't and I have lived off her information without going to doctors for 33 years, except once when I had to have surgery...she also wrote lets get well, both fully documented, lets eat right to keep fit telling you why, lets get well telling you what to do...their so fascinating I couldn't set them down till I read them3 times and took notes from them twice! My girlfriend raised her children on the information (supplied by me!) lol, and never had to take them to the doctors, we even stopped a nosebleed that was real bad in 4 minutes!! Sorry, I know this is more than you asked for, But Adelle Davis inspired a passion in me, changed my life forever for the better, and there is so much to learn about this, one sentence, could barely tell you anything! Good luck, here's to your health! and that you live forever! If you can find the question just above... she wants to go to counselling, for cutting herself, and her mom wants her to take vitamins...I copied some of the first paragraph of Adelle's book for her, its so neat! in my answer.
Has anyone had success with Immunical or B12 injections for Multiple Sclerosis?
Q. If not, what have you had success with when it comes to treating symptoms related to walking, etc?
A. When I have paralysis I take steroids. For the general weakness and clumsiness, I don't take anything, I just adapt.
There are several clinical trials at various stages studying antibiotic therapy and MS (Vitamins D3 and E). They are in stage Phase I and II. Phase I tests a new drug/treatment on a small group to evaluate its safety, determine safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
In Phase II, the study drug or treatment is given to a larger group to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
A good neurologist should rule out a Vitamin B12 deficiency before they diagnose you with MS. They may also check your B12 level periodically when you are having flairs. If your B12 level is normal, you do not need a supplement. Here is a link for info on vitamins, minerals, and herbs:

What is folic acid ? Does it really help to prevent a heart attack ?
Q. Give alternatiave names of folic acid i.e. local or country names. Also tell in what food items the folic acid is present. How much folic acid do I need as daily intake. I am 56 and 186 pounds, with sligh B.P. problem.
A. Folic acid is a B vitamin, I think it is B8. Also called Folacin, and the natural form in foods is Folate. It is essential for the synthesis of DNA. Deficiency symptoms are constipation, anemia, slowed metabolism, fatigue, depression. Deficiency also can cause birth defects. Best sources include liver, green leafy vegetables, especially spinach, broccoli, peanuts. We typically need 4-600 micrograms (.4 - .6 milligrams) daily, but for people with high blood levels of homocycteine doctors usually recommend 800mcg or more. Yes, folic acid does help prevent a heart attack by reducing the homocycteine which greatly facilitates buildup of plaque in the arteries. B vitamins work together, so your doctor will probably want you to supplement your intake of B12 and B6. There is an Rx form called Foltx, but it might not have enough 12 and 6. Some people think that Folate, the natural form in foods, is much better than Folic Acid. It also is available in a supplement. Be sure to talk to your doctor first before beginning any B vitamin supplements. Also, if you take a multiple vitamin, check its contents, many include 400mcg of folic acid. Be careful of what you might read on the internet. There's at least one site that confused milligrams with grams.
What would happen if I took all three dietary pills together?
Q. I want to know what would happen to my body if I took my Vitamin tablets, Omega 3 tablets and Super enzyme tablets together? Would it be extremely bad for my body due to hypervitaminosis or too much concentration?
Death is too far fetched but are there any other serious threats?
Thanks in advance

A. (Here�s the end of my answer...)
Vitamins (and minerals) are good for you but too much of a good thing can become a bad thing.
Death, being the toxicity symptom of excessive intake of vitamins usually only applies to iron and only when popping iron supplements or multi-vitamins containing iron, like they�re candies, by unsupervised kids who got access to vitamins that are not in child proof containers and mistook them for candies.
If you ask me, vitamins supplements containing iron should be in child proof containers. Other multi-vitamins pills should not contain iron. Nobody who�s eating a healthy diet needs iron supplements (one cup of beans or half a cup of prune juice would cover half of my daily need). I do not eat cereals but that would cover twice my daily need...just for breakfast!
Iron supplement should be separate and prescribed by a doctor, like for pregnant women (who would better hide their stash from their other kids).
Depending on which specific vitamins to which you�re referring, toxicity symptoms can give you annoying headaches (A, D), nausea and/or vomiting (A, Selenium, Zinc), heartburn, diarrhea (B5, C, Selenium), intestinal irritation (Selenium, Zinc), loss of appetite (A, D), joint pain (A), dry skin/hair + cracked lips (A), skin rash, vascular dilatation (= red face...Niacin), irritability (Selenium), fatigue/weakness (D, Selenium), numbness (B6), water retention (B5, Sodium), high blood pressure (Sodium), hair loss (A), weakened immune system (Zinc) and really more than annoying kidney stone (C, Calcium), ulcers (Niacin), liver damage (A, Niacin), congestive heart failure and cardiac arrest (Potassium)�and this is nothing compared to what they can do when combined with drugs and medicines.
Some high dose of vitamins are not that bad, like vitamin E (you need separate supplements to get some benefits as you would never be able to get enough from the food), but then it interferes with vitamin K (blood-clotting) so should only be prescribed by a doctor (even if you buy them OTC). Then do not be surprised if you don�t clot that fast when you cut yourself...and stop taking them 2 weeks before surgery.
ALWAYS have the complete list of all the vitamin supplements (+ meds and drugs) you take ON YOU AT ALL TIME, so if you get into an accident and end up in the hospital, they will know what medicine NOT to give you so some vitamin does not interfere with it in a way that you can see your story later on the TV show House, MD!
Just having a regular check up with your doctor, or because you�re sick and they will want to know exactly which vitamins you take and also exactly which dosage and when�as to not prescribe you the wrong medicine. You�ll have to fill out a form and don�t forget to list any vitamins you take or you won�t be able to sue them if you get a bad reaction from some drugs they gave you, because you did not list that particular vitamin you took.
You have a lot of huge, big hundreds of pages books, devoted to vitamins, herbs and drugs interaction, maybe buy one of those.
Every years, kids die because they overdosed on vitamin supplements that they found in the kitchen or in their baby sitter�s purse and they thought were candies (some are sugary coated and taste good). I have a calcium supplement (when I run out of milk) that is pink, sweet and tastes like a hard nice candy that lasts for a long time, yummy. Make sure your vitamins are 100% inaccessible from any kids in your house.
What are the toxicity symptoms of iron? Death!
Kids mostly die because they accidentally have access to illegal drugs that were not in child proof pharmaceutical containers (coke-head parents tend to kill their kids that way).
The problem is that people, who live a healthy life, do not think that vitamins containing iron can kill a child if s/he takes excessive intake, eating them like they were candies (unsupervised kids often get into shenanigans).
On the bright side, deficiency symptoms are worse than toxicity symptoms (except in the case of iron which causes death).
Deficiency symptoms cause night blindness, xerophthalmia, hyperkeratosis, depression, beriberi, Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (mental confusion, amnesia, muscular incoordination), hypochondria, burning and itching of the eyes, sensitivity to light, infertility, anemia, epilepsy, dermatitis, anorexia, glossitis, scurvy, bruises, rickets, osteomalacia, osteoporosis, impaired growth, damage to the brain and spinal cord, constipation, caries (lack of fluoride), mental retardation, enlargement of the thyroid gland (goiter), abnormalities in heart rhythm, coma, pellagra (dermatitis, diarrhea an dementia), bone loss and pain, drowsiness and irrational behavior, cardiomyopathy, muscular discomfort and cramps...
When you know all that, you just want to eat a healthy, balanced diet.
