Hey Pinkie! No, the human body was made perfect. Wow, you have opened the floodgates here. Smarter, more educated people can correct me, but for now, I'm "gonna go with what I know". Aeons ago, we were created perfectly, (I'm tired of being grammatically and spelling correct all the time, it's the writer in me, forgive me), the food we ate was all natural, grains, hand-gathered fruits, berries, etc., and being omnivorous creatures, the animals we hunted and caught, and ate, as well ate those same foods, free of preservatives and chemicals. There was a natural "balance" within the food chain. A balance between the omega-3's and omega-6's and whatever else. The animals we ate were "balanced" in their composition in an ideal manner for we humans to consume. Thesedays, we feed our animals processed foods and chemicals and inject them with all sorts of growth hormones and antibiotics, and in my opinion, therein lies the big problem. In my opinion, to answer your question, most "supplements" need to be thrown into the ocean. (still trying to decide about the coq10, though) Simply eat as many fresh foods as possible, almonds, walnuts, blueberries, yogurt, fresh caught cod, haddock, salmon, spinach, broccoli, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, onions,red and orange peppers,bean sprouts, various mushrooms, you name it. Start a small "bucket garden". It's easy to grow carrots and spinach and other veggies, and it gets you out of the house and into the sunshine. I used to be a vitamin nut, but I gave it up years ago in favor of eating as many fresh foods as I could, and I feel so much better now. I love you all, Bill
