| Month | Comments |
| December 2001 | Reduced Lecithin from 1030 to 800mg/day. Added note on Kava. Updated notes on Green Barley; split notes on Niacin and Niacinamide; combined EFA and Udo's Ultimate Oil entries; added Deficiency symptoms notes. Started St. John's Wort and Kava (as a replacement for Paxil). Started using GNC Ultra Mega Gold split-dose time-release multivit. Created supplement summary page. |
| November 2001 | Stopped Apple Cider Vinegar because hadn't notice any benefit after 6 months of use. Replaced Sundown Milk Thistle Complex with Quest Milk Thistle Formula. Revised introduction. Updated Calcium, Chromium, Garlic, Ginkgo Biloba, and Ginseng supplement notes. Added notes on Echinacea, St. John's Wort (which I'm considering as a replacement for Paxil), and SAMe (S-Adenosylmethionine). Chromium reduced from 500 to 225mcg/day when I learned of possible toxicity concerns. Plan to drop use of Chromium-Vanadium when run out because of evidence that Vanadium may reduce effectiveness of Chromium. Investigating use of a split-dose multivit when current multivit runs out |
