Just curious what people are taking. A friend mentioned Alive vitamins have helped her (but she doesn't have Lyme). I looked up some of the ingredients and I'm not so sure it's good for Lymies (a lot of sugar and some ingredients that may cause herx!).

Also looking to get a good blender - not crazy expensive but good for smoothies, green juice, etc

I have got to get my diet under control. I'm hoping that shakes and smoothies will help curb these outrageous sugar cravings!

Thanks!

When I don't know answers, I go to sites I trust. I trust this guy. /draxe.com/tag/best-multivitamin/

I am reading Dr. Rawls book (Unlocking Lyme) right now and I love his thinking on lyme and nutrition. He even has an herbal protocol. I highly recommend this book. He will tell you which supplements you need to add. He is a doctor that got lyme. He loves Buhner's protocol. He writes the book in short paragraphs so lyme brains can read it. He just makes so much sense about lyme disease.

I can't take a multi - the ones I can afford all have soy in them, so no suggestions on that.

For a protein shake, check out Growing Naturals brand of brown rice protein shakes. I liked their ingredient list when I was using them.

I still just use my Oster blender for smoothies and such. LOL.

We use this protein for our shakes. /nkdnutrition.com/products/grass-fed-whey-protein-powder

This protein powder, collagen, lots of veggies and a tad of fruit for sweetener and viola, yummmy.

If your asking about powdered protien shakes, many protien shakes upset the gut. A veggie based protien without dairy, soy and glutan is the best all around you can get for immune compromised people. Walmart has one in a zip-bag, 12 or 15 servings for $10.

Fruit smoothies are not as healthy as some people think- its all compressed sugar minus the fiber- NOT what you want. Our bodies are not designed to take in that much sugar at once, totally unatural. They are a fad right now because they are sweet, not a good reason.

But -Add some veggies and its better. But any nutritionalist will say its better to just eat the whole fruit or veggies. The glutan free veggie/grass powders are prob better in the end- but not as fun to make!!

Vitamins themselves are best if you get the better brands, the grocery store brands and not the best to absorb. Pure Encapsulations multi is one of the best for the $.
