Barneys formula for fall and winter


a simple multivitamin
2000iu-4000iu of vitamin D(based on body size)
100-500mcg B12
200mcg Folic acid
200mcg selenium
one 200mg ibuprofen preferably in the evening
50mg-200mg enteric coated peppermint oil between meals
Or peppermint altoids...two before and after every meal and between meals.
500mg calcium with magnesium

and if moderate to severe
2-3 1000mg fish oil
2 1000mg flax oil

i would suggest a combination of enteric coated capsule between meals and the peppermint altoids

a modest diet...low fat , low sugar and less or no gluten,wheat or flour.

If you have acid reflux, for some, the altoids may be a problem. The enteric coated peppermint oil can then be taken unless one has gall bladder disease . Some few may not be able to take selenium due to leg cramps Those in the southern hemisphere where its summer should reduce vitamin D to 1000-2000iu depending on sun..

good luck, bj
