Hello!
I wouldn't say your supplement list is excessive. In fact, I'm highly envious of it. I really struggle with supplements and herbs, and I mean really struggle! :( Unfortunately I have this anxiety that I'm poisoning myself all the time, even with normal foods, so I'm constantly checking tabs, washing my hands, to the point where I only use paper plates etc for my food. Sigh. Yes I know. Anyway, it makes it hard to take supplements and herbs, of which I'm both a massive fan of by the way. At the moment, I'm working up the courage to get some of my vit/min formula down my bloomin neck (my thinking is this: I'm going to take one tomorrow morning, as I see the pdoc then - she can reassure me if I panic about it for some reason!). Anyway at least this morning I managed to get some sublingual zinc under my tongue. Thats all I can manage I'm afraid. So things are very difficult for me.
> it also helps prevent long menstrual cycles (most likely due to a slow thyroid.)
I have a question I've been wondering about - what would you define as a long menstrual cycle? My cycles are quite long - kinda 33-35 days - and I've always wondered what that was about. I know they're in the longer part of the 'average' but still. Plus they're relatively light, or perhaps they're just normal? I only ever use 'normal' santitary pads even at night, and they hardly ever get soaked through or anything. I suppose I'm worrying about nothing, someone once told me light periods are a sign of good health. Anyway I only have one ovary.
I used to eat hawthorn leaves when I was a kid. I think kids have this natural foraging instinct well I suppose adults would have it too, but its been conditioned out of us!!
Anyway. I once had really low blood cell counts which was abit puzzling. But I don't often get colds or anything, well perhaps one once a winter, so I have no idea what the white blood cell count thing was about. I'm assuming I'm normal now!
Oh well. I took SJW for maybe half a year, and it totally cleared up my cold sores. I would get a nasty cold sore once every half year or something, but now, nothing!! (touchwood).
anyway, sorry this is abit garbled.
Your supplements sound fantastic, I'm deeply envious you can take all these things!
Kind regards
Meri
