Hey all! I could use some advice. As some of you know, I have been fighting some health issues for quite some time. I have been to more doctors and specialists then my memory can hold and take so many pills that I am called the Department Pharmacy at work.

I have come to you - oh great and all knowing people of healthy stuff, for advice. Zip and Chris know that I have a few permanent conditions that I don't want to share, but I have some really odd non-related stuff as well.

1. The corners of my mouth crack and bleed for no reason. My son says it scares him because he is afraid that it means that my mouth is getting bigger. Anyways, I have seen multiple causes for this - but no real cures. Are there any vitamins that I should be taking to help at least prevent this?

2. I have NO energy, I am nearly always half asleep no matter how much I drink cofee.

3. I have no apetite. A few of my meds cause this - but is there something out there that I can take to stimulate my apetite?

4. My immune system sucks eggs - this is due to a few meds too - but is there anything *natural* that I should take to try to boost it?

And on a side note - pay no attention to Zip when she starts yelling at me to go to the doctor - I hate going to the doctors.

;0)

Thanks for any ideas you offer!

Starting with the simplest things first:

Sleep - 8 hours every night - we have the SelectComfort mattress and love it.

Hydration - I don't believe that we can have too much pure water - Berkey purification here.

Aspartame = poison. Don't use it.

Too much salt, either from processed food, or the shaker, can be harmful. Try using pepper or salt-free herbs for seasoning.

Be sure that each of the doctors know exactly what the others are prescribing, and that you use one pharmacist who can also evaluate all the possible drug interactions and advise you accordingly - a good pharmacist will know more about the meds than will most doctors who are given all sorts of crap by BigPharma's hottie pill pushers to hand out to their patients.

We take, among lots of other supplements:

Vit C - 2000mg

COQ10 - 300mg

Zymitol enzymes - as directed

DHEA

Melatonin

There's my starter's list not knowing any more than I do about your specific problems.

Good luck and best wishes.

Oddly, sea salt is good for you, and will lower blood pressure because of the trace minerals.

My unothodox M.D. told me half a teaspoon of sea salt a day, along with lots of pure water, would increase my energy.

He was right; it did.

Thanks for this information.

It reminds me that Christine's nutritionist suggested adding some lemon juice and MSM to my daily water regimen.

I eat lots of raw foods (plant derived) and very little meat, usually only five times a week. I also love kefir YertleTurtle mentioned, Nancy's Kefir by Springfield Dairy run by Ken Kesey's wife being far and above the best of any I've tried made anywhere else.

I ride my bicycle and this time of year I used to do a punishing amount of miles and interval work, but at 52 I do lots of miles and if the boys doing sprints every other sign come along my route, I wave, chat and watch them go go go.

I only ride around 200-300 miles a week these days, but I am passionately addicted to riding and do ninety percent of my best thinking in saddle.

I also fast this time of year, last week I did a three day, and find it helps with seasonal depression which I also use full spectrum lights for.

I am very muscular and get mistaken for someone much younger, and my legs are so big in the thighs I can't remotely fit into Levi 501s my waist size (31) because of the leg muscle.

My resting pulse is around 52 usually and last year I tried a couple of beers a couple of times a week, the first alcohol I had drank since 1989, and decided I hated it worse then I did when I did drink which was only while in the Army to socialize. I just don't like drinking anything I have to recover from.

Both my brothers are younger and eat and drink the usual American diet and are plump, and look older them me.

Only?

Man - that's a bunch of miles - way to go.

Thanks, it isn't really that many on a good bike at speed. I'll do a fast 30 in the morning three times a week and tomorrow is usually my 60 miler to Cottage Grove doing the hilly route there and the flatter one along I-5 back.

Tuesday and Thursday I ride with the club in the fast group made up mostly of ex racers like me and we do 40-50 mile routes depending on the group consensus.

I ride for transportation and that usually adds up pretty fast as Eugene has gotten spread out and though we have a better bike path system then almost anywhere else in the United States a ride to Lane Community College round trip is around 18 miles if I do the short route with the hill.

I have several top quality bikes, but my favorite kitten is a Ferrari red Cinelli with Campagnolo Chorus components that cost me about 3000.00.

Italian race bikes are the royalty of race bikes, and Masi and Cinelli are the creme de la creme of that country's manufacturers. I consider it a part of my body, I am naked if I don't have a bicycle with me.

It is a 1988 which is heavier with only eight cogs in the back, but people with newer, lighter bikes (which I also have) flag me down to get a moment enjoyment of ogling my sweet piece of Italian eye candy.

That particular design of bike has been made by Cinelli since the 1930s. They stopped making them a few years ago when they introduced the current modern design, but the outcry of anguish and rage was so incredible, Cinelli apologized and now you can buy the frame again for a mere 1300 dollars.

The lugs and bottom bracket (crank housing) are castings, and it takes many man hours to get an even gage throughout the lug/BB to get the right heat distribution to get a superior brazing job. The tubing is chamfered and mitered so tightly you can't get rice paper between the tube when held together before final manufacture.

Ounce for ounce a Rolls Royce has nothing on my sweetheart.

Thanks for these tips, not for me, but for two healthy college age sons.
