SUPPLEMENTS
IRON LIQUID HERBAL
- IRON
Floradix or liquid iron with herbs by Salus-Haus. A few are taking this
form of iron and have discovered it does not cause any constipation. For
about iron Floradix written in German (the manufacturer) click
here. For more on why a liquid is more readily absorbable, click
here. Check with your doc about prescribing iron. It needs to be taken
with vitamin C to activate (rose hips all natural) and milk and calcium
will de-activate. If one is taking cream of wheat cereal with iron, the
iron absorption will be lost if milk is added to the cereal

EAA Gambro
makes tablets of amino acids. It says on the package to take ten daily
with meals, but Dr. Walser recommends 15. Made for kidney patients, these
pills are easy to swallow with a small amount of water. Download Gambro
amines specification sheet and published article
on their use. Aminess N, is the essential amino acid supplement product
that GAMBRO offers. To place an order, please call GAMBRO toll free at
1-800-651-2623. The price is $65.00 for a bottle of 300 tablets.
Both Calwood and Gambro have the same nitrogen poor amino acid supplements
used by Dr. Mackenzie Walser in his clinical trials. Several individuals
willing to stick with his diet were successful in stopping malnutrition,
raising serum albumin, lowering creatinine, eliminating anemia, and improving
kidney functioning. This 22 gram protein diet is supplemented with amino
acids, zinc and iron (if you take iron, take vitamin C with rose hips
so 50% of the iron is not eliminated in the gut). Low serum albumin, usually
an indicator of malnutrition, came back to normal limits by decreasing
protein intake to 0.3 grams per kilogram of body weight. COPING
WITH KIDNEY DISEASE, eliminates all animal proteins
as well as some high protein, high phosphorus, high nitrogen and high
potassium vegetables. These are a few articles.

ESSENTIAL FATTY
ACIDS - EFA
EFA
- Hemp
seed meal, butter, and oil for omega 3's.Hemp oil contains more EFA Essential
Fatty Acids than flax. It is free of potential toxic contaminants commonly
found in fish oil supplements. It also provides the perfect 3:1 EFA balance.
There are organic hemp seed oil caps from Canada. I have found hemp seed
to be the essential fatty acids that does not cause pains or increase
in abdominal girth. Both fish oil and flax seed oil cause pain and cyst
expansion and are to be avoided. Omega 3's hemp seed
oil caps is useful for the daily intake of essential fatty acids.

Tupelo
honey has a different molecular structure, higher in the ratio of
levulose than any sweetener; thus it will never granulize. Its sugar
structure is so different it bypasses the liver and is easily absorbed.
It is one honey I consistently test alkaline and I experience no mood
swings, headaches, or liver pains. It does not elevate my cholesterol. This was first harvested by Creek Indian tribes near what is now the southeastern states of Georgia, South Carolina, Mississippi, and Florida. The bee honey utilizes the nectar from the high black gum tree flowers that grows along river banks. Here is a map of where tupelo honey  might be harvested based on the location of gum trees within the United States. Lanier is one company selling tupelo honey. I have heard it can be found at health food stores, Safeway, and bee apiary farms. Another delightful honey I have found in Europe is Linden flower honey, also a tree flower honey.
Thyme flowers make a delightful tea, a pleasant aromatic honey. Thyme can provide some antiseptic properties as well. Thymol is made from thyme.
