VITAMINS IN DIFFERENT HEALTH CONDITIONS: PILL, POLYPS AND OTHERS
The Pill
If you take oral contraceptives, not only are you more vulnerable than other women to blood clots, strokes, and heart attacks, but you're also more likely to be deficient in zinc, folic acid, vitamins, C, B6, and ?12 [which accounts for much nervousness and depression among pill takers]. Supplements are important:
nsp
Zinc, 50 mg. chelated, 1-3 tablets daily
Folic acid, 800 mcg. 1-3 times daily
Bl2, 2,000 mg. [time release], a.m.
B6, 50 mg. 1-3 times daily
Polyps
These small annoying growths should definitely be seen by a doctor, and in most instances surgical removal is necessary. But as far as supplements go, Dr. Jerome J. DeCosse, professor and chairman of surgery at the Medical College of Wisconsin, used 3,000 mg. vitamin ? [time release] daily on patients with polyps, and had noteworthy success with the treatment.
Postoperative Healing
After surgery, your body needs all the nutritional support it can get.
Vitamin E, 400IU [dry form] 3 times daily
2 vitamin ? complex, 1,000 mg. with bioflavonoids, hesperidins and rutin a.m. and p.m.
High-potency multiple vitamin with chelated minerals a.m. and p.m.
High-potency multiple chelated mineral tablet a.m. and p.m.
Vitamin A, 10,000-25,000 IU 3 times daily for 5 days [stop for 2 days to prevent build up]
Prickly Heat
Much like itching, prickly heat seems to respond to the antihistamine properties of vitamin ?.
Prostate Problems
Chronic prostitis, where inflammation of the gland is the case as opposed to infection, has been found to respond to treatment with zinc. [The prostate gland normally contains about ten times more zinc than any other organ in the body.] In many cases, symptoms have completely disappeared.
nsp
Zinc, 50 mg. 3 times daily
Vitamin F or lecithin capsules [1,200 mg.], 3 caps 3 times daily.
