Many older people now take meds such as statins, thiazide, and other substances that drain important nutrients such as B12, magnesium, and otheressentials from the body. I believe this draining of nutrients cause so called depression, so called panic attacks, and ultimately dementia. B12, magnesium, potassium, COQ10, and other nutrients necessary to a well functioning nervous system are drained from the body by so called meds. This causes nervous system damage and ultimately brain damage. I am 86, strong, healthy, med free, and pain free. I threw away prescriptions for Thiazide, lipitor, fosomax, and vicodin without ever filling them. That is why I have a healthy well working brain and body today. I totally healed myself with cinnamon, nuts, fruit,oatmeal, maple syrup, and lots of organic veggies along with whole milk and whole eggs.
Congrats on being mind and body healthy.
There is all kinds of proof that good quality supplements actually are beneficial.
Discuss your lab results with your physician prior to beginning any supplement.
I am not adverse to holistic treatment. However, with seniors it’s often a delicate balance and each person is unique.
