In reply to Vitamin supplementation? To TINA, posted by Kath on July 13, 2000, at 13:27:11

Thanks for all the great ideas. Kath--I have that book. It's my bible too. Noa, you are probably right about the withdrawal although I have to tell you I don't even crave a cigarette. Not interested at all. Can I have withdrawal without even having a desire to smoke? Confusing. Janice--No med change recently. Still the same old stuff although I may have to get off meds due to some really high cpk levels on my liver function test last week. Doc doesn't like the look of it. Also found out from doc today that I am hypoglycemic which may explain the frequent panic and anxiety problems I have. Doing the diet change thing starting today although I don't really eat sugar except gram's cookies and that's infrequently.
Thankyou again everyone. As always your info and advice is highly intelligent and greatly appreciated. You guys are awesome.
Love Tina


> Tina - if your body is going through nicotine withdrawal there's a homeopathic for that also! Just thought of it. I know there's one in the tubes. The brand looks like it's NU-MEDICINE. The tube for n-withdrawal is yellowy-orange.
> My other thought is to make sure your body has the vitamins that help with detoxification. Vitamin C is good. Once again, you can look through books at a natural food store. My "Bible" is "Prescription for Nutritional Healing". I got over my severe chemical sensitivities referring to this great book. It's expensive - I got mine on sale for $20. Around here, most natural food stores carry it & some even have a reference copy. There's a section in the book for smoking dependency. It says "The nutrients suggested are rocommended to correct probably smoking-related deficiencies & damage while you work to kick the habit. I'll list what it suggests. Essential: Coenzyme Q10 200mg twice/day - Aids oxygen flow to the brain; protects heart tissue. Also acts as an antioxidant to protect cells & the lungs. Vitamin C 5,000-20,000mg /day. Important antioxidant that protects against cell damage. Smoking drastically depletes the body of Vitamin C. Vitamin B complex 100mg daily (you can get time-released). Necessary in cellular enzyme systems often damaged in smokers. Use sublingual form if possible (dissolved under the tongue). Increases energy; needed for liver function. Folic acid 400mcg/day (I'm not sure if we can get large dose tablets of folic acid in Canada). Needed for the formation of red blood cells; important for healthy cell division & replication. Vitamin E - start with 200IU/day & increase by 200IU each month up to 800 IU daily. One of the most important antioxidants, needed to protect cells & organs from damage by the smoke.
