Hi Andi,
You are our Hero and your strength is so inspiring to all on the board.

I also take supplements and believe they are vital to us.
I think the article is wise in that we need more information and people who are trained in this field to advise us. You are fortunate to have the best advise from a leader. I am concerned for those who are just taking supplements without the knowledge.

As you Andi - many MD's and dr. do not even give the supplements much attenton, it is not even studied in med school...

I know I was very concerced during my chemo treatment as one dr. told me not to bother...the other told me it depends on what I am taking...much open terrority with this topic.

But the bottom line I think is getting a good dr. to advise
and guide, which you have done.

So happy you are well dear heart!
hugs,
Jean
