Annie I agree! I got my dad to start them when he came away with us a few weeks ago. Very quickly we all noticed a difference in his mood, concentration and energy. When he got home he stopped ( he was worried that it would interfere with all of his medicines! ) and mum noticed a deterioration almost immediately!
I dont believe it was a coincidence. I've asked him to mention to his neuro consultant this week ::)

My animals diet is more scientifically controlled and nutritionally complete than most peoples :D
Despite this they also get offered a supplement. Its really interesting to see how much they make use of it. I have my soil tested annually and either add what is lacking into the soil or make sure my animals get whats missing in a supplement.
I think that you are right everyones journey is different but if you have found something that works for you stick with it DaisyB!
DaisyB:
Well I just remembered I started taking a Guinness whilst away earlier this month - as I've gone off wine last few months. Not that I would encourage any one to drink alcohol ;D but you know it has a high iron content - so maybe the rash disappearing is linked too the Guinness?? ::) ;) Who knows .....
Sooby:
Well its as good a reason as any. You keep swigging your "medicinal" beverage.
Interesting that you have gone off the wine though, I find it gives me the most terrible headaches and makes me feel dreadful even if I water it down. Champagne and prosecco is even worse sadly.
Thank goodness I can still enjoy a "medicinal" gin ::)

Totally agree. Unfortunately the 'normal' range is huge so you can be classed as ok when you're near the bottom of the scale, crazy!

Yes I've fallen victim to that, mine was below our range at 197 and they told me it's fine x
