Can I take this multi while on PT?

Hi
Just discovered the Linus Pauling study and purchased the product. I recently was diagnosed with a significant left coronary obstruction,though I had no symptoms. I am taking a product I found http://www.goodhealthsupplements.net/gh ... dients.htm. Should I discontinue while taking the original Pauling formula?


That product looks okay - and other than the Manganese (normally you would get enough in food and MN causes heart beat problems when overdosed) I don't see a problem taking that Multi with the Pauling Therapy.

Rethinking - the dosages are per pill, and 10 pills are recommended, The vitamin D(3) is low, vitamin K is missing, and there is the concern about 8 mg of manganese at 10 pills (You would be wise not to exceed 2 mg manganese per day).

So that means not taking more than 2 or 3 pills per day, so you might look for a substitute. Life Extension Mix is good and Source Naturals Life Force is a good multi.

Thanks,I've been fat free for 6 weeks,dropped 12 pounds and hoping the Pauling supplement can help me prevent stent or worse. Merry Christmas!


Fat free? Hmmm. Weight loss good. Such a diet may have benefits if you avoid processed foods with trans fats, however, unlike carbs - you cannot live without some fats. All cells need lipids to maintain their structure, etc.

Legit arguments about best diets, and metabolic theory would say some of us should have animal fats and some should have vegetable fats. But we all need fats of one kind or another.

On Pauling therapy, best to avoid SIMPLE carbs that break down rapidly into sugars.
