Over the years, Clark has had many heated discussions with callers and even with members of the staff about the advantages and disadvantages of natural remedies and vitamins. But a new report from Johns Hopkins University is showing that taking certain vitamins is good for us. Taking Vitamin C and Vitamin E in normal doses, for example, can help prevent Alzheimer’s Disease. But we must remember not to overdo it. One multi-vitamin a day is all you need. The problem is that people think if they take more of certain vitamins it will help. Taking more of the recommended doses can cause heart problems, gastrointestinal problems and more. Clark has also been concerned about people who take herbal remedies in excess. Ephedra has been banned, but not before many people died from using it. Now, the FDA is looking at a list of remedies it may ban over the next weeks and months. This is a serious shift in policy because Congress passed a law in 1995 saying that herbal remedy companies were free to sell whatever they wanted in the marketplace and to say whatever they’d like about their products. It’s true that our body needs vitamins. But some people are taking too much of a good thing, so be careful.
