Well, during my regular blood test last week, my doctor got a bit snippy with me as we discussed my schedule of prescriptions and supplements. When I mentioned the multi-vitamin, she gave me a smerch and said “that’s useless.” Well excuse me. She also questioned my use of potassium. Look, I told her, I’ve read alot about this stuff. The multivitamin may not growing me a third lung or fifth kidney (LOL), but I do believe it is helping and not hurting. And I was given prescription potassium starting a couple of years ago. As a matter of fact, I had given up potassium pills years ago in favor of an increased intake of bananas, orange juice, avacados and my usual potato dishes. My doctor at the time didn’t like that idea.
