Meats vegetables: Meat contains large amounts of b6, as do green vegetables, such as broccoli and green beans. One thing to keep in mind is how you cook these foods. If you char the meat down to a cinder, most of the vitamins will denature. Likewise for vegetables. Eating them raw is best, or steam them for 2 or 3 minutes. If you boil them for 10 minutes, most of the vitamins end up in the water.

Can you consume too much vitamin/nutrients?

Of course!: Anything that contains calories is a nutrient. Too many calories makes you fat. Beyond that, the answer depends on the specific nutrient. It's easy to consume too much chocolate (for me, anyway), but not so easy to consume too much celery. For vitamins, the answer is also yes, but depends on which. It's much easier to take too much a, e, d, or k (fat soluble) than b or c etc. (water soluble).

Which vitamins should I be careful with if I try orthomolecular medicine?

Depends...: The vitamins to be most cautious of are the fat soluble ones. The most important part of this approach is to work with a doctor who has knowledge and experience in this area. Ask what training they've had and how long they've been doing it. I prefer to do testing before prescribing anything. Having said that, there have been no deaths in the last 10 years from vitamins.
