SUPPLEMENTS

RE:  SUPPLEMENTS

Many  of you know the challenges I have had with choosing supplements due to a host of other med. issues that have caught me in the infamous catch 22 of tx.

I went to an integrative DR yesterday who could have listed 40 supplements for me, but he really listened ( for over an hr) and took all of my other health issues into account.

This was his formula for me;

CurcuminPro    3000 mg

Mushrooms 2 capsules  a day

Melatonin  3-30 mg

Fish oil to obtain 3000-5000 mg omega 3

2000 VIT D.

UNfortunately, he also listed GSE which *was* my top choice, but  he did not realize this lowers BP. ( Mine is ALREADY too low of course...anoither catch 22)

So, after all this, I still do not feel I am addressing the hormone receptor.  DIM is not good for me- cruciferous veggies are goiterpus and I have a goiter. another catch 22.

*Soooo,  here are my questions for thoise of you who have explored supplements :

There seems to me I had a  reason for 'being careful' about these omega 3's or am I getting mixed up with omega 6 ?  Comments ?

any other info or advice anyone  ??

Many thanks and best wishes to all~!

Purple,



You may want to research ways to lower your estrogen in other ways. Exercise is one way.

Yes, I know ....but I think I need more than that , PLUS  I have  very low tolernace due to my lung disease.

I think I've read that Omega 3 might lower your blood pressure - you might want to google that...

It's the ratio of omega 3 to omega 6 that you need to watch out for.  Omega 3 is the good one (fish oil, etc.).

I looked it up.  It does say that it  'may' lower BP but doesnt look significant.

Yes, I know its the ratio. Guess that  is what I am still confused about.
