Questions for Fran

Hello Fran,

You seem to be the Guru on here giving loads of good info so i thought you (or anyone) could help with this.
I take at the moment seven seas one a day minerals for hormonal balance which has 2mg of vit b6,300mg magnesium and 15 mg zinc.
I also take evening primrose for pmt.
Can i also take a multi vit with the vit b6,magnesium and zinc in????
It says on the packet that im getting 1005rda allowance so i wasn't sure if this was safe??
I understand taking fish oils is good???
If you could give some advice on supplements i would be so grateful.
I want to see if i can help myself with these things.
I think peggy said v8 juice?? which i will try too.
Thank you

Susan

Hi Susan

I will have to let others answer this. I can only work with nutrients from whole food - I don't do well with any supplements.

The way I have restored hormonal balance is through diet - the paleo diet to be specific - which gives you a high range (well over RDAof all vitamins, minerals, enzymes and amino acids, whilst also bring down eostrogen dominance and restoring progesterone.

The essentials of the Paleolithic Diet are:

Eat none of the following:

· Grains- including bread, pasta, noodles

· Beans- including string beans, kidney beans, lentils, peanuts, snow-peas and peas

· Potatoes

· Dairy products

· Sugar

· Salt

Eat the following:

· Meat, chicken and fish

· Eggs

· Fruit

· Vegetables (especially root vegetables, but definitely not including potatoes or sweet potatoes)

· Nuts, eg. walnuts, brazil nuts, macadamia, almond. Do not eat peanuts (a bean) or cashews (a family of their own)

· Berries- strawberries, blueberries, raspberries etc.

Try to increase your intake of:

· Root vegetables- carrots, turnips, parsnips, rutabagas, Swedes

· Organ meats- liver and kidneys (I accept that many people find these unpalatable and won’t eat them)

etc.

Peace

Adrian
