That’s the problem with vitamins and minerals in pill form or even foods like cereals. The government gives you guidelines as to how much you should have daily. Unfortunately, almost any vitamins or minerals you take add up. Pretty soon you’re past the daily recommendation. Your question is complicated to answer. A vitamin can increase or decrease effectiveness of certain medications. For instance, I love tomatoes but not store bought ones only farmer grown locally. That means starting in June thru November, I gorge myself with them. That’s bad for my kidneys and blood because it becomes acidic, to much acid in my blood.

That creates a happy time for certain types of cancer cells that just loves acidic blood to multiply. So while my kidneys pay the price, my baddies are swimming around inside me having a festive time. Yet there are other cancers that hate an acidic blood because it slows up the production of that cancer.

So to try and answer your question honestly, yes. Anything you put in your body can help or harm you, vitamins included. Even how much you take could hurt you and can cause serious side effects. If you’re tying to help your body and conditions, you have a lot of research to do. Right now I’m deliberately hurting my body because I stopped take a multi vitamin, a mega dose of Vitamin B Complex, plus Folic Acid.

I could literally be causing major and permanent damage to my body and brain, just to prove a point to a geneticist that the small intestine problem is being caused by a genetic birth defect I’ve had to deal with all my life. I’ve only been off them 10 days and I’m already in serious trouble with my heart, kidneys and brain.

So if you’re going to try and help you body, you need to ask this question on google for each thing you want to put in your body exactly like this example. “Is Vitamin E bad for my body?” Or “Is Vitamin E good for my body?” You’ll have plenty of research information to keep you busy. I’ve spent over 100 hours to discover my bowel problem is genetic and dangerous to me. My only living brother had a gallbladder operation, that’s a major, MAJOR discovery because of what the gallbladder does, or rather doesn’t do in the body. Take care, hope this rambling post is of use to you. Becky1024

Hi Mittens, just had to let you know how taking something can easily turn dangerous. I think my bad guys are progressing again because my blood won’t coagulate. I accidentally nicked my fingertip and started bleeding so I wrapped a paper towel around it. They tell you that if your platelets are low or less sticky, it won’t clot. Now I have a quandary, my blood won’t clot but how bad is it. The rule for bleeding from a small cut is this, it takes roughly 5 minutes to coagulate and stop bleeding. If it doesn’t, you have a problem, looks like I have a problem but why? I know my blood is progressing to full blown cancer, to many symptoms are showing. I have the fingertip wrapped tightly with bandaids but how can I tell if I finally progressed into NHL or worse WM. How much damage will it do if it has progressed?

I don’t go to my PCP till September 13th and my next check in with my Oncologist/Hematologist till November 18th. I don’t want to get myself worked up so much that I trigger a fatal heart attack but my blood not wanting to stop bleeding has me scared. My last blood test in May shows my B Cells are messed up, low lymphocytes, immature lymphocytes and platelets with White Cells going up along with neutrophils. What signs should I be on the lookout for if I now have cancer? For some reason, my whole body feels itchy, bones in my rib cage are at a level 8 pain, kidneys are hurting and I may be passing blood. I won’t go to the ER, I’ve been misdiagnosed to many time there. HELP!!! What’s happening to me?
