Question 5

cure uti? cranberry, d-mannose, uva ursi, grapefruit seed, caprylic acid, potassium caprylate, olive leaf extract, marshmallow althea officinalis root, red rasperry rubus ideaus - are these safe?

UTI?: Probably not all at once. Try to do urine analysis and culture. If you took multiple antibiotics in the past, consider yeast as a cause of UTI.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Not long: You could probably just stop it but to b conservative go to 250 for a week & then stop it.

Question 7

is it ok to use the 5mg folic acid dosage instead of the normal suggest 4mg dosage when trying for a baby?

Accepted Answer

You can: there is no known toxicity with folic acid, although it is unlikely that more is going to help.  The normal daily requirement for folate is less than 1 mg, and 4 mg is probably overkill as well.  Prenatal vitamins generally contain 0.8 to 1 mg (800 to 1000 micrograms), so 4 mg is NOT a normal dosage.  It can't hurt but will be unlikely to help more than the usual 1 mg amount.

Question 8

is conjugated linoleic acid (cla) bad for me in a daily 1, 000 mg dosage?

Accepted Answer

Weight reduc supplem: Cla is not bad for you but if your are very obese use with caution. There are some controversy about it worsening Insulin resistance, pre diabetes as well as high risk for breast cancer.

Question 9

what is the recommended dosage of magnesium both - as amino acid chelate and as oxide heavy?,   am deficient in magnesium

Accepted Answer

Magnesium deficiency: Most Americans are low in magnesium.     It can vary from one person to another up to 8 fold how much magnesium a person needs.    I recommend following label directions and increasing by one dose per night until 8 doses or loose stool.   If you get to loose stool, consider that one dose too many.     Most people only need 2 or 3 doses per day, and it could be taken all at bedtime.

Question 10

what would be the maintenance medicine for gout and elevated uric acid. what would be the dosage and how many times per day?

Accepted Answer

Allopurinol/feboxist: Allopurinol or feboxistat would be used, with a NSAID or Colchicine to prevent flares.  The suppressive agents are prescribed as once daily.
