Anybody seeing a licensed nutritionist?
Okay, I completed my Herception treatment in Nov 07. Little by little, I am feeling more like a butterfly than slug now that I was able to color and foil my hair. Oh happy day! Anyway, my immune system is still hot to you know where. I recently kept asthmatic bronchitis for 5 friggin weeks. My well meaning friends and family think they have M.D. after their names and they are telling me what supplements to take, what to eat, and more often than not, what not to eat. I am seriously considering making an appointment with a bona fide nutritionist to hold my hand and pay for their advise to tell me what to eat, not to eat, and what supplements might give me more zip that has been zapped.
Have any of you (excused the southern slang) been to see a nutritionist? Was it beneficial? I'd love to hear some success stories and any advise. I had a guy who owns three nutritional stores give me some "Fuji" juice to increase my energy level, and it was like drinking motor oil.
All kidding aside, I am, however very serious about wanting to improve the quality of my health.
