supplemental info

My grandmother had Pernicious Anemia.
So did my mother.
And probably my sister -
[but she's so vexed - it's not clear with her...]

So I went (yes, I went)
and got some B12 of the Methylcobalamin type!


I have a theory about weight gain -
Lots of micro-nutrients were probably missed
from lack of intake and lack of absorption....
Jack In The Box - and a Gallon of Coke - 
is not known for being a Life Sustaining Menu!

My mother - on what she thought was her deathbed - 
asked for LIVER!
Now - who the heck asks for liver?
Wine? Ice cream? Chocolate covered cherries?
But liver? Looking back, I know now -
She thought she was sick from Pernicious Anemia!
And somehow, this would save her.

So I have really been paying extra notice to my
Supplements. Note the word "Supplements."
Not intended to carry the entire weight of the
diet.... they are just that  - a supplement
to a healthy meal plan and lifestyle.
I guess you could say I am passionate about it!

"Healthy" foods - like quality proteins,
Quality fats (essential amino and fatty acids)
And some veggies!
Nothing that makes a person 
"Insane in the membrane...."
(Of the gut!)

Yay for food!
Real food.
