Supplements...

I placed and order yesterday from Vitacost.  It shipped the same day.  I was so excited.  I had originally checked Amazon for these items, but found them cheaper at Vitacost

Twinlab Super C Powder

Twinlab Norwegian Cod Liver Oil Unflavored

Twinlab Emulsified Norwegian Cod Liver Oil Lemon

Carlson The Very Finest Fish Oil

Shipping is a flat rate of $4.99.

The vitamin C and the unflavored CLO is for the dogs, specifically our little mutt with allergies.  I'm leaning toward atopic dermatitis and hope the CLO and Vitamin C will help.  Vitamin C is suppose to work as a natural antihistamine amongst other things.

I'm comparing the Twinlab CLO to the Carlson CLO we already have on hand.  I would love to pay $4-$5/bottle compared to $23-$25/bottle. 

I also placed and order from More than Alive for herbs to make our own shampoo (nettle, sage, and rosemary).  I usually order from Mountain Rose Herbs, but they were out of a few things I needed.  More than Alive ended up being less expensive because you don't have to order as much, so it worked out.  I also ordered a book from them Created to be His Helpmeet.  I have wanted to read this for a long time, and our library doesn't have it so I coughed up the money and bought it.  I've read mixed reviews on it and want to see for myself what it is like.

I visited the kinesiologist/chipropractor yesterday for an adrenal/thyroid issue.  He put me back supplements containing bovine adrenal, bovine thyroid, carrot, and magnesium citrate, yum.  They seemed to work the last time I took them I just didn't stick with it. 

I'm also trying to take Virgin Coconut Oil daily (or close to it).  I have also tried to eliminate for cut back on peanuts/peanut butter to help my thyroid.  Peanuts and soybeans, goitrogens, block iodine absorbtion in the body.  It's always something, right?

Have a great day!

Gretchen,

How was your weekend with the relatives?
I would be curious what you think of the book after you have read it. I am reading Passionate Housewives, Desperate for God. It is good so far. I hit one little dry run, but it is coming out of it. I am bad right now. I am reading three at the same time. Maybe this weekend, I will wrap them up! I am also reading the book by Eckhart Tolle that has all of America reading. I am not sold on it. I suppose it is moving for those who do not live the word of God and perhaps just discovering him.
Good luck with the CLO. Kate will lap it right up like candy! (;
Have a great weekend!

Jennifer
