I try to keep my supplementing to a minmum... because i eat well and there are nutrients in the food afterall, real nutrients... yogurt is great for instance.. spirulina... greens.. but I do use supplements... the only things I really use daily at current though are calcium/magnesium. zinc, iodine and vitamin C. and fish oil. Most other things just a twice a week or so.

I think probably everyone has a mercury problem. i read somewhere just the other day that 40 tons 40 TONS, of mercury are pumped into the air and water every year by industry, power plants etc. and china is building 2 new coal fired power plants each week. eack week, big mercury polluters. and china has a terrible record for environmental safety so I doubt they are capturing much mercury before it goes out the stacks. So that will probably actually be 50 tons or more by next year. I guess at a certain point we won't have to worry about population growth in china anymore but until then...

I should use more ALA. I worry about the quality of supplements more than anything else. How do i really know what's really in a pil?

I am going to start some early tomato plants and onions-leeks this week. Our bottled tomatoes from last summer's garden are superb.

I like the Natural Calm magnesium/calcium citrate a lot.
