Thanks for the article Ann, but somehow I don't remember us discussing 'Chromium Picolinate' yesterday. Maybe I missed it. I do remember us talking about cholesterol issues and bragging about our kids, grandkids. LOL!
I haven't taken 'Chromium Picolinate' in years. Someone else at the time told me it doesn't do squat.
The following is a very personal, but I want to share it with all of you to maybe help others who are not feeling energenic and 100% either.
I called in the help of a Nutritionist in March. I just wasn't feeling well, and hadn't been feeling well for a long time. I kept up with everything as best as I could and acted like all was well, but in reality it wasn't. My energy was low most days and I had to force myself to exercise most days.
First of all, she took me off all the supplements I was taking, including the 'Seasilver" (for now).
She did a lot of 'muscle' testing and tested all the supplements I had been taking, and I tested very weak in all of them. (I had never heard of this so called muscle testing).
When she tested her supplements on me I tested very 'strong'. All her supplements come from "Standard Process. Inc. and they have been in business since 1929. They produce high quality nutritional supplements on their own farmland which has been organically certified by (MOSA) They keep detailed records of all of their farming practises, and their farmland and processing facility are monitored annually to ensure that only the highest quality farming techniques are practised.
If interested go to: standardprocess.com. Read up on how it's done. Very impressive!
My nutritionist has been dealing with them for almost 20 years, she said. Only professionals are able to order from this company, so not just every Tom, Dick and Harry who thinks he/she needs supplements. And you also don't take them forever, only for the time you need them because they are very potent.
The next thing will flore (sp) you. She also tested me for 'Parasites' and I tested positive. She said that parasites are very common and that 'everybody' has them, especially when you have animals. But that they can cause a lot of havoc everywhere in your body. Read the next link I found.

I had no idea, and was totally grossed out, but am now convinced I have them. I have had cats for years and they get kissed (on the head) and snuggled with every day. They NEVER go outside.
When I saw her, I first had to do a 'intestinal' cleanse before I did this parasite cleanse, but tomorrow I am going to start this parasite cleanse/Alkaline Bowel Diet, and that'll take approx. two months. After that I will also do a liver cleanse, but first things first.
I am excited because I so believe in alternative medicine and to do something the natural way without having to take prescription drugs is just great. No side effects! YEAH!!!
BTW, I am already feeling better after the Intestinal cleanse, and hope to have energy coming out of my ears after I am done with the parasite cleanse. I will keep you posted.
Hope I didn't gross anyone out more than I was. LOL!
