Food based multivitamins

I have been taking certain food based multivitamins (Rainbow Men Just One). Is it safe? There is 100% vitamin A, but no iron. Does that much of Vita A  plus dietary intake of vit A result in too much?

I also usually eat a lot of nuts (almond, cashew, peanuts). Will I have problem of iron overload?

Thanks!

I deleted 2 posts with suggestive to external links.  Please don't post any links to outside miracle cures or sales site.

Those who are interested in vitamins to support their health is encouraged to do research and talk to their own doctors.  

As I have mentioned before, their are herbal cures for all kind of chronic diseases for sale in various parts of NYC and they have all sorts of studies, charts, doctors to back it all up.  But the truth these chronic diseases are still here.

If any of you see a post supporting an external site, please note or message me.

True however no one ever had such a dramatic viral drop as I had while confirmed chronic condition. That ws my own doing and I am so glad I can post here my protocols.

I think most people here get in and then have it for 5 10, 20 years or so. We all have it from birth. The ones that cleared it have it for at least 25 years while in mothers womb. I wonder if that has anything to do with it?

It sounds to me that there several people who had lost their hbsag by themselves. This may be due to the genetic factor because the hbsag seroconversion rate is so high within your direct relatives compared to general public of 1%. So you may have some special genetic support to fight the virus but other people may not have.

Hi there,

Wow, those look like great vitamins! With those levels the best thing about what they do is protect your liver from free radical damage. They aid your immune system even if it isn’t eliminating the HBV, it is doing its job with other invaders.

The selenium and vitamin D have been documented to reduce risk of cancers which is great news for us who have HBV.

The selenium I have read may actually reduce virus levels but the dosage is 400 micrograms daily and it has to be the plant based selenium like Selenomax.

The viruses replicate, because their genetic codes include a gene that is virtually identical to that of the human enzyme glutathione peroxidase, they rob their hosts of selenium thus perpetuating their environment to thrive. Our bodies use selenium to power the immune system and as an antioxidant.  We can not efficiently defend ourselves with depleted levels. Increased levels increased strength of the immune system. It may not be anti viral, but virus level drop because the liver is less of a friendly environment to replicate for all viruses.

The research I have come across regarding Vitamin D, E and Selenium make a multivitamin a valuable addition to any regimen for those who are going through HBV acute or chronic infection.


My Aunt claims that it was Vitamin E (IU 400) alone every day for 8 years that lowered her virus levels when she was in her 30's. She said her levels started to drop when she started using it. She no longer has HBV and took nothing else. Another Aunt took Interferon and was seriously ill for 5 months but is Hep B free now.

My mother does not have it any more but I don’t know how she and my brother cleared it. It sounds silly but they both use to drink allot. Its just me my sister and one other aunt now. We were all born with it. None of us have ever had elevated liver enzymes. Our bodies think its just part of our system.

The 2 spoon full are for a medium tea pot size for the Chanca Piedra Tea. Its about 4 big glasses or 5 small glasses full for each tea pot. Each tea pot is daily. I bought the glass tea pot at create and barrel. It has a tea diffuser and put the loose tea right in. You can buy the glass under holder, designed for putting tea candles in to keep the tea warm/hot. I microwaved the water till boiling then sat it over the 2 tea candles and pressed the tea frequently to release its substance. Repeatedly this made it much darker than just boiling it.


I see in my last post the last sentence looks like I am referring to multivitamins interfering with the viral replicating process but I meant the tea does. I think I cut that sentence and pasted in wrong from MS word.

Thanks for the message. Can you confirm that you took 2 tsp per day and drink the one brew for the whole day or 2 tsp each brew and drink 3-4 brews?

I am already taking multivitamins every day. The vitamins I am taking includes:

Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) 1800 IU
Vitamin E (d-alpha Tocopheryl Succinate) 500 IU
Selenium (Selenomethionine, Amino Acid Chelate) 200 mcg
Zinc (Citrate) 20 mg

As to hbsag loss, there is 1% hbver who lose hbsag per year. Vitamins may help the general health, but may not play decisive role in hbsag eradication, as research has pointed out. I am very realistic in this aspect. I knew lipoic acid and took it for a while with Acetyl L-carnitine for weight loss, but I found out that adjusting diet is even effective. I have lost 10 lbs over 3-4 months. I also take fish oil for omega-3.
