Do you take Vitamins   

Really, do you think vitamin C is better in keeping you going all day then vitamin B?
I could be wrong but I thought vitamin C is good for not getting a cold but vitamin B is the one that gives you energy.

Some of the vitamins are stored in your body and as far as I know you can end up getting sick if you have to much of one vitamin. How do you check that you don't take too much of one vitamin? Do you buy the vitamins that provide 100% of the daily diet or do you buy the once that provide more that 100%. I'm asking because by mistake I ended up buying vitamins that provided 200% of the daily diet and I ended up getting sick.

I go twice a year to a natural practitioner that takes blood and checks as to what vitamins, and minerals that i am lacking, and those are the ones that i take. That way i know what my body needs. and sometimes what i need is more than the recommended daily allowance for them, so i take more. and if you are taking synthetic vitamins you are not doing yourself any good.

Interested really, it does make sense especially having someone check if you body is in balance and what vitamins you need. Then again some vitamins such as vitamin C you can never have enough off since the body doesn't store vitamin C

Yes it is good to know what your body needs and Vitim c is good but our bodies need much more that c, and everyone is different in what their needs are, and how their bodies handle them

This is really great to know. I'm glad to hear you are doing well. Chemo treatments are really hard on the body. Cancer runs in my family as well and I will certainly keep in mind what you wrote. Good luck and be well.

Good point. Now that I think of it my diet consists of very little protein. I don't eat a lot of meat or fish. I eat a lot of pasta and salad but very little meat and fish. I will have to check which vegetables are a good source for protein.

If I understand you correct you believe a balance diet in it self is not enough and a healthy lifestyle includes taking vitamins. Do you think this is required because we are living under a large amount of stress these day? People a hundred years ago didn't take vitamin then again they didn't live as long as we do.

You said you eat raw food do you mean everything. I know this is a popular diet in Hollywood and all the stars do it. Does this mean you are also eating raw meat, I can understand raw fish and I do like raw fish but raw beef I'm not sure about it. I think the French eat raw beef but with eating raw beef don't you have to be really careful I thought if beef is not 100% fresh you can get sick well much more so with pork then beef.

I used to be a vegetarian as well and when I started eating meat again I had more energy. Are you sure about the better mood. You think the vitamins also affect your mood?

If you feel fatigue or excessive tiredness do you take vitamin C or vitamin B or B12

thanks for your suggestions. although it is not routine, only occasionally.
