Thanks, JC - I too was a walking ad for my local healthfood store’s organic vitamins and supplements. I even took DIM, which I know now is an adjective for the idiot who thinks it might help him stave off prostate cancer.😁

Saw palmetto was also one of the other supplements I was told to come off prior, during and after before my discussion with UFHPTI R/O.

Heavyphil, what is DIM?

My heart failure doctor's facial expressions are really expressive on his view of supplements. When I mentioned all the supplements his facial expression are quite blunt as he does not believe in them.

However, about 3 years ago he put me on fish oil to help with triglycerides. My wife's primary care doctor put my wife on an actual prescription for fish oil not a supplement. So, getting mixed messages about supplements.

I have tried to lessen my desire and why I want to take supplements and just eat right but my wife and I hate to cook. I internally argue with myself over whether this is something I should take or not and doesn't seem to be a clear winner with my internal voices.

During my last visit (a couple of days ago) with my HF doctor we were discussing why I was burping so much, and he mentioned tomatoes and other foods. I mentioned I eat a lot of tomatoes and take lycopene as I heard it was a great antioxidant. Then I got the look again.
