SUPPLEMENTS

COUNTRY LIFE VITAMIN B12: Vegetarian, sub-lingual, cherry-flavored 250 mcg. lozenges; with folic acid.  Country Life: Hauppauge, New York 11788.

EMPEROR'S HERBOLOGIST CALSENSE : No more horse pills, this calcium supplement is a powder you can add to hot water, cocoa, protein drink, or any other beverage. This VANILLA RAPTURE flavor is so pleasant, I enjoy drinking it, just like I would coffee, tea, or cocoa. Great way to get your calcium.

FLORA "UDO'S CHOICE" PERFECTED OIL BLEND: This is unrefined, nutritional oil as a dietary supplement, supplying Omega 3, 6, and 9 fatty acids, as well as medium chain trigylcerides. I mix it in soy protein shakes, add it to soup (after heating), toss it with salad along with an oil-free dressing, or mix with yogurt and granola. This is the perfect oil to supplement with if you are committed to getting health-promoting unrefined, uncooked fats while eating a generally low-fat diet.  Flora, Inc.: Lynden, WA   98264.     1-800-446-2110.     www.florainc.com.

RAINBOW LIGHT COMPLETE PRENATAL SYSTEM: Food-based supplement to fully support pregnant and lactating mothers. I feel good and my fingernails are going bonkers, so I know these things are working. Sometimes you really do get what you pay for!   Rainbow Light Nutritional Systems: 125 McPherson St., Santa Cruz, CA   95060.

B&T HOMEOPATHIC NIGHTTIME COUGH & BRONCHIAL SYRUP: Active ingredients include Aconitum nap. 3X, Bryonia 3X, Hepar sulph. calc. 6C, Spongia tosta 3X, Stannum met. 6C, Alfalfa 1X, Avena 1X, Coffea Cruda 6X, Alcohol 8.73% v/v, sodium benzoate 0.1%. When I first started buying this stuff, I discovered that it contained sugar [yikes!] but sugar has since been dropped from the label. Some people may object to the presence of alcohol, but because this syrup works so well, quieting my babies and helping them to sleep through the night, infrequent doses of alcohol seems insignificant. This stuff is a little nasty tasting, but not so bad that my children won�t take it with a syringe. Also, there are two formulas, one for daytime, one for nighttime (the active ingredients listed here are for the nighttime formula).

CHILDREN�S ALL-NATURAL HOMEOPATHIC ALPHA CF for colds and flu: Small tablets which dissolve in mouth are suitable for even very young children. Used it for the first time this year, and it seemed to help a great deal. Not too expensive either.

ECHINACEA WITH GOLDENSEAL: My husband and I take capsules (Nature�s Way) and my children take liquid (Herbs for Kids or Ecclectic Institute), which I mix in their juice. We take this three times a day at the earliest onset of cold symptoms, and it often wards off the cold or prevents it from fully developing. Great stuff!

NUTRIBIOTIC EAR DROPS: I have successfully treated early symptoms of ear infections in both myself and my two sons, and avoided having to resort to antibiotics. NutritiBiotic is the first natural remedy I ever tried for ear infections--and it works!!! Contains: vegetable glycerine, alcohol, grapefruit extract 0.5%, and tea tree oil. I paid $5.95 for a 1-oz. bottle. NutriBiotic: Lakeport, CA 95453.

TRADITIONAL MEDICINALS "SMOOTH MOVE" HERB TEA: This is a fantastic laxative tea that works overnight, every time, without overdoing it, if you know what I mean!
