16 Another study showed that bladder cancer recurrence was reduced by half in a group given high doses of vitamins C, A, E and B6. Neither of these helpful doses can be supplied by even a healthy diet. The various kinds of supplements and approaches to health programs can be overwhelming, and many people give up in frustration. Here are some basic health enhancement and preventive medicine guidelines that should make it simple. No one practice cures or prevents all illness and degeneration, though any one of them will help to some degree.
Nutrients work in complex synergies.
A look at the literature suggests that almost any one nutrient helps with almost any health problem. For example, vitamins C and E help with heart disease, but so do essential fatty acids, selenium and magnesium, the B complex vitamins, some flavonoids, as well as the amino acids carnitine, lysine and proline and the accessory nutrient Co-Q10. Take dietary supplements at breakfast and dinner, or take the first dose with lunch and the second dose with the evening meal at least six to eight hours later. Some supplements, like calcium and magnesium, can be taken right before bedtime. Supplements are less likely to be forgotten if they don't have to be carried around.
