Ok since we have all been talking about so many darn supplements that we take to help our CF, why don't we share what we take/do/injest/inhale all in one thread? Maybe the admin could make this a sticky (if this forum allows for stickies). Let's all share what we take. What I take is an ever evolving experiment. If something seems that it logically might help either my CF directly (like say oregano oil), or if it would help me generally (like vitamins, herbs, etc) for my bodies overall health, and it doesn't seem to have anything bad associated with it, i'll more than likely give it a shot. As for now I take a combination of vitamin and mineral supplements, EFA's, lycopene, some amino acids, and extracts from herbs and fruits and vegetables.
Here is what I currently take in no particular order (no need for dosing info, that would take a while)...Please add what you take, and maybe we can get a giant supplement thread going that others can refer to if they are looking to either get into supplementation, or change what they currently take. I am always looking for new substances to help myself even though I currently feel great, and I saw some of your responses in other threads, and i'm probably going to be ordering some new stuff. Anyways, here is what i take now:
Amino acids 2001mg (3 large pills daily - This is intended for weight lifters, but I was looking for a giant all in one amino acid supplement, and I found this): Alanine 318mg, Arginine 168mg, Aspartic Acid 654mg, Cysteine 162mg, Glutamic Acid 1050mg, Glycine 120mg, histidine 126mg, Isoleucine 324mg, Leucine 714mg, Lysine 564mg, Methionine 150mg, Phenylalanine 210mg, Proline 318mg, Serine 324mg, Threonine 396mg, Tryptophan 120mg, Tyrosine 198mg, Valine 206mg, 15mg cholesterol, 5g protein, 15mg (750% RDA) Vitamin B-6 as pyridoxine hydrochloride, Chromium (as chromium picolinate) 30mcg 25% RDA, Sodium 10mg.

H2 Orega P73 (water soluble form of regular oreganol P73): 5-6 drops in neb *2
Anyways yeah that's what i'm currently taking, and always looking for different things to add, and possibly take away others. Yes I know some of the listed ingredients are present more than once in the different supplements so a little overkill on some. And yes, I know some of them like say the B vitamins are way overkill, and yes I know I have expensive pee <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
I plan on nebbing glutathione soon, and hypertonic, and I used to take a real good multivitamin/multimineral from GNC called megaman, but I ran out a while back and was too lazy to go get more.
Anyways, that's what I take, so state what you guys take, and maybe we can get admin to make this a big sticky and keep it on the front page!
