It is good to de-toxify your body of these foods at least once a
year for at least 10 days to 3 weeks or as long as you can. Perhaps you could
try it during Lent, Ramadan, after your Birthday party or perhaps as a New
Year’s resolution. During this time it is advisable to take a multi-vitamin.
There are many myths about your body not absorbing these nutrients but some
will be absorbed and that is why your vitamin bottle will show percentages many
times more than recommend daily value. Here are the:
Top Ten Requirements of your multi-vitamin
1.
1000mg
of Calcium
2.
400-600mg
of Magnesium
3.
400IU
of Vitamin D
4.
100IU
of Vitamin E
5.
250mg
of Vitamin C
6.
200mg
of Chromium
7.
5-10mg
of Manganese
8.
15mg
of Zinc
9.

Quantities will vary slightly depending on the brand you choose.
Use a multi-vitamin that is specifically for either a man, woman or child. Use
a multi-vitamin for three months and then have a months break before trying a
different brand. I like the ones who give many capsules and tablets instead of just
one as you can take them throughout the day and this will increase the chance
that they will be “food for the body.”

Tricky words:
Aloe:
A Cactus plant that is good in the kitchen. Cut about an inch of
the tip for use on burns. The tip grows right back and your hand will heal
quicker.
Enteric:
A coating that prevents the capsule being opened and dissolved
by stomach acids before it gets to the upper-intestine where it is of most use.
Nightshade Vegetables:
Night & Shade plants are: Potatoes, Tomatoes, eggplant &
all peppers. Elimination of these can help 15% of those suffering from
Arthritis. In the 1970’s horticulturist Norman Chiders popularized the
Nightshade diet.
