What I took today …
Gag me with a pill!
There are some things in life that make me go hmmmmm–like the popularity of a local blog here called What I Wore Today. I don’t get it, but I guess I’m not their target audience. Most days I’m in my sweats sitting at my computer.
Anyway, the blog inspired me to do today’s post. When I tell people I take a bunch-and I mean a bunch!-of supplements, they ask me what they are. Really, I can hardly keep up with them! I was taking plenty already, then I started seeing Dr. Gary Huber, and the list grew longer. I look at it as a big chemistry experiment for which I’m waiting to see the outcome.
While I hate choking them down, I feel grateful that I have a course of action that makes sense. Remember, everyone is different, and Dr. Huber customizes supplements to each person. Mine are designed to treat my estrogen/progesteron-positive breast cancer and all the weird things happening in my body that promotes it.
With that in mind, here’s what I’m taking today (and every day):
- Multivitamin (no iron- iron has strong oxidizing properties, which can fuel cancer growth)
- CoQ10
- An Osteoporosis formula, containing D, B6, Magnesium, copper, etc.
- Magnesium
- Vitamin D, 5000 IUs
- Probiotic
- Chromium
- Chlorella
- Alpha-Lipoic acid
- Filter and Flush (yes, like a car place), containing a blend of milk thistle, dandelion leaf and other things to flush out the liver.
- Dinodolylmethane (DIM) for estrogen metabolism
- Avemar (see previous post about that)
- Cod liver oil capsules
- Bioidentical progesterone cream
- Heavy Metal Detox suppositories (twice a week – that’s more information than you want to know!)
This is just a brief listing, and remember this was customized for me, using a variety of lab work and other testing. I will follow up with subsequent posts to talk about the benefits of some of these listed above. I will probably ask Dr. Huber to chime in, because I’m certainly not a medical professional.
With that out of the way, I’m going to tell you what I’m wearing today… Just kidding!

Ha, ha, ha – sounds like you’re wearing empowerment to me:)
Once you kick cancer’s booty, will any on this list remain as part of your standard everyday health regimen?

Interesting – I know people who don’t have cancer who take almost that many supplement – I take the chromium and a Mega Mineral capsule every night, while I take a vitamin, cinnamon and cranberry extract every morning. My Reiki master has talked about the heavy metal in our systems and how they are the cause of much disease-
And thanks for not telling us what you are wearing.

I did want to add that once I get things more under control, I will most likely decrease the number of supplements I’m taking.
