Readers Respond (June 14, 2007)
From Bstnrose4444 (June 14 2007)
I would like to see if what I am about to say actually gets published here. I am a healthy 46 yr old female; height/weight/fine. Only issue was hyperthyroid - now on levoxyl. I eat well, sleep well.. should tone up about 5 lbs. I look great for my age. I take some vitamins.. over the counter.. sometimes a multi, sometimes A/D-cod liver oil, sometimes omega's, most times iron and B-all. I treat vitamins as a SUPPLEMENT to my life. To be taken as an addition to my healthy diet. I recently got a mammogram/CT scan.. all said I am fine-healthy. Which brings me to writing this.
WHY would my neighbor/friend who is heavy and doesn't sleep well - gets a stiff neck- then headaches.. bring this Juice Plus to me? I ignored it in the past.. but now she gave me the 3 bottles and talked of 2 per this and 2 per that and 1.. that is 5 pills a day. I looked them over- added up the vitamins and LACK of ( no B, iron, D) but I see a big overdose of A and E! per day! GEE... could this me the reason she is not sleeping/getting a stiff neck and headaches??
I think this stuff is poisoning her. Of course her neuropathic Dr. or Chiropractor prescribed this! I am furious at this poisoning and she doesn't even realize it! Where is the Dr. to follow-up in this? Oh - no fiber either or omega's, etc.
Now that I did read the site discounting this Juice Plus - I see why. It is very easy to read what is in these vitamin bottles and make your own decision of this overdosing and lack of other vitamins. Now, how do I gracefully tell her my findings? I wouldn't mind if this was a normal MLM product and all.. but to see the outright trash they are selling is very scary.
