HI all,
Thanks for your replies. I appreciate all the encouragement. I feel a little better today, but I know how it goes with me-I get a day where I feel better and the next day I am back to square one so i'm taking it really easy.
As for excessive high doses of Vit C or anything for that matter-I don't take really high doses of anything. Oregano in oil is contraindicated for pregnancy-but my OB did once tell me that a very low dose pill is ok. They test these supplements at extra ridiculously high levels. A low dose for immune system help won't harm in anyway. But thats my personal decision. I found one company that does a low dose oregano-not the oil, but a pill form that isn't as potent as oreg oil. I'd only take that if I was really getting sick.
As for dangerous vitamin levels-the amount you'd have to take to induce an abortion or go into shock is incredibly high-like an entire bottle in one hour. I take 3-4 caps a day. Fyi for anyone who is wondering, this is all ok'd by my doc, but of course check with your own and go from there. Part of my philosophy is if I can take a natural supplement or vitamin to get better (provided it is safe of course) and that keeps me from needing a medication-that the best thing for the baby. Just like the doc's theory that taking an antibiotic during pregnancy if needed can prevent the baby from getting the bacteria from the infection. Its all a risk/benefit ratio.
I also get alot of my vitamins from juicing fruit and veggies. I really do believe that juicing has prevented me from needing IVs many times in the past. So, anyway, I hope I keep feeling better and thanks again to ALL!!<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
