Welcome to the wicked world of Nutritional Supplementation where the causal user can become an “overnight expert” and sell you a 4 dollar bottle of prune juice for 40 bucks in a pyramid scheme. Where we can package up rocks and pebbles and sell them as bone building minerals… to the trusting elderly patient. A nasty world of subpar and potentially dangerous supplements sold to the desperate and sick patients looking for a cure in all the wrong places. READ ON IF YOU DARE!

These are my opinions:

Fish Oils Poisoned with Mercury: the same substance linked to vaccine damage and dental amalgams are now being found in certain Fish Oils. Focus on high quality fish oil with a minimum 3:1 omega 3 to omega 6 ratios.

• Fish with the highest levels of mercury are sharks, swordfish, tilefish (golden bass, golden mackerel, tuna and King mackerel. Avoid these fish at all cost. Focus on fish and fish oils that come from the New Zealand coast line. Deepwater fish from the southern latitudes are much less likely to be exposed to mercurial toxins as compared to their northern counterparts.
• Fish oils produced by these companies were found to be “sub par” on a detailed consumers report: American Health, GNC, K Mart, Rite Aid, Solaray, and Twinlabs.
• Discontinue Fish oil and Flax oil 3 weeks prior to a surgery and never use these products in conjunction with Coumadin.

Calcium products using useless “rock”

• Calcium carbonate found in majority of bone health products is completely worthless and potential damaging to the system. Avoid this substance at all cost.
• Recommending TUMS to an osteoporosis patient is the worst suggestion possible. Calcium must be absorbed in an acidic state in the human stomach. TUMS reduces the acidic nature of the stomach and blocks the absorption of all minerals. The calcium found within TUMS is not bio-available to the human form.
• In my opinion the name should be changed from calcium carbonate to calcium “crap”-o-nate. Sorry for my crude language however, for a trained physician to recommend this to an older patient is just WRONG!

Vitamin A toxicity causing throttled thyroids &osteoporosis: this substance will become toxic at 15,000 IUs in the healthy and 4000 IUs in the renal (kidney) impaired. It is forbidden to use in Gen II Metabolic Boot camp for it is linked to thyroid atrophy (shrinkage) at levels above 10, 00 IU Pregnant woman should never take greater than 2500 IU a day for toxicity can cause severe birth defects.

My ALL TIME favorite supplement: Free Form L glutamine

By now you know that if it was up to me I would have you brush your teeth with glutamine (OH yah I do!) see GEN II MBC WorkBook. I love this stuff. This is why when I see products that are using glutamine peptides(garbage), d- glutamine( garbage), and products that have “all 23 amino acids”( garbage) it drives me insane(very short trip). Please, if it is not a pharmaceutical grade, free form L glutamine do not use it. Remember this stuff is influencing the stability of your DNA, your kid’s bowels and brains, your stem cells. Get the good stuff or don’t use it at all.

I have been criticized by experts in the field that I recommend too much l glutamine. They claim the amount of l glutamine I recommend in GEN II MBC (4500mg-6700mg daily) is a “mega-dose” and is very controversial.

My retort is this: In a world full of mega-doses of toxins, environmental stressors, and filthy foods we need to suit up in full Metabolic Armor to protect ourselves from the never-ending, massive metabolic onslaught we face daily.
