The more I read about competing nutrients, the more I'm convinced that getting as much as we can from our food is the way to go. Nature probably had a pretty good system going for us until we messed it up with mass production and the Western diet.

I did about 50-60 a day for a few weeks back when everyone was getting sick. At this point I'm doing 10 that's in one of my supplements.

I'll keep taking Mag then. And my doctor already said to nix the Fe supplements since they were doing anything for me anyway. That on its own could probably re-balance copper levels if they were off.

I'll bring it up when I see him in a month. I thought macrocytic was commonly because of B12, but my last level was 1600something. Maybe taking iron supplements for 6-7 years did my body more harm than good .

Good luck on your deadline! I have two midnight deadlines coming up. Also I meant lymphocytes but I can't figure out how to edit it on me phone.

I went to the hematologist because I was feeling tired (my ferritin was 30 two weeks ago, yesterday it was a 12!! :sad: and my hg was 13.5 two weeks ago and a 13.0 yesterday) They drew more blood for insurance purposes and my other counts were even worse that two weeks ago. I dunno why my RBCs are s...

We always use cast iron back home, but I didn't realize how much of a difference there actually is. Really neat to see the data. I should scour the thrift stores for one. Got my results back. I don't have paper copies yet, so I don't have the actual numbers, but she said they were all fine. Hoping t...

Awesome. I happened to get 4 peppers at the store today. Got 3 lbs of strawberries for $5.. salmon, quinoa, pepitas, cottage cheese, 10 bean mix for soup, broccoli and more yummy stuff. I think I just like food too much. I was looking at some of your other posts and the B6 toxicity seems interesting...

Of those, the tomatos, green beans, brussels sprouts, black beans, garbanzo beans, spinach (only cooked). Thanks for the links, I'll snag those lists for when I go grocery shopping tomorrow! I have no complaints about more bell peppers and strawberries, I could be persuaded to have broccoli; those o...

Really helpful, thanks! Nah, no black clouds, just interesting stuff. We studied a lot of those inflammation pathways in biochem, definitely seems interesting. Sad about the tilapia. I can go for the salmon. I prefer it actually, ate it 3x a week growing up, but a bit more hit to the wallet. I guess...

Distributing the supplements is great. I feel like the Mag has helped the twitching stuff. My vision has started to get better too. The tingling in my feel is still bad though. It doesn't happen all the time or anything, but the temperature outside has been getting hotter and esp. with hard workouts...

Went to the campus health clinic today. The doctor was really nice and listened to everything I was saying without making me feel like a hypochondriac. She said she would run the initial tests that needed to be run (one was the regular ferritin I think, and a metabolic panel) but I'm not exactly sur...

Thanks for looking at my supplements! I'll definitely get in the habit of spreading them out in the manner you said. 2. Would it be better to take a 50 mg zinc every other day? Or 2 out of every 3 days? 4. That's too bad about the beatine being in the iron. I don't want to switch kinds though becaus...

Thank you so much! I also forgot to add that I eat bananas a lot. I've had two IV iron infusions, and I've forgotten to take zinc for the last few weeks.

Thank you very much for the replies. Elliot B - You're right. Thank for the advice. Jimmylegs - Sorry that this will be long!
