Part of my TCM degree syllabus includes Nutritional Health.
What I gathered from the textbook is that nutrients, like herbal formulas, work synergistically within a body capable of proper utilisation. It’s not simply about taking a “blood-making” herb or vitamin to fix a deficiency — the body’s ability to absorb and integrate matters most.
There’s always a reason why the body isn’t producing, absorbing, or utilising nutrients properly in the first place. When we force certain vitamins in ways that bypass natural biological processes, we override the body’s mechanisms. Not only does this confuse the body’s intelligence, but it also increases the risk of overdosing and turning nutrients into potential threats.
Having whole food - fresh, and 3 meals on the dot. Avoid outside food. Will give you proper nutrients. One of the most risky supplements is calcium - as most people ARE already hypercalcemia --- too much calcium in your bloodstream.
The major symptoms are:
1) nausea or vomiting, poor appetite, or constipation
2) brain fatigue, memory loss and confusion
3) constant shoulderache or a thick padded shoulder --- this being my main diagnostic proof.
4) emotional changes, depression, irrritable, sleep disorder
5) pale complexion, tired looking face and lack of outdoor exercise
If you have these symptoms, do not take calcium supplements. It should ONLY be taken under a doctor's advice as it will have a risky effect on your health.
