Health Week

I ordered Cat’s Claw from iherb.com not too long ago, and they have a cool program where they offer free samples with any purchase. So of course I couldn’t turn down free things, and got a whole bunch of samples.
Starting today (Thursday, 10/15/2009), and for the next week, I’m going to try taking the samples I got, along with taking my multivitamins, cat’s claw, and most likely a liquid fast for at least a few days.

Everything I got can be found here (as of 10/09), and here is the list:

Now Foods, Tru-Vegan Powder

Doctor’s Best, Magnesium with Bioperine

Histame Diamine Oxidase (will not be taking)

Ultima Health, Ultima Replenisher

Madre Labs, Immune Punch

Madre Labs, Madre-C, Whole Fod Vitamin C Complex

Natural Factors, Stress-Relax, Pharma Gaba

Whey Protein Isolate, Dutch Chocolate

I will be taking:

1 stress tablet twice daily

1 magnesium tablet twice daily

Cat’s claw, 3 times daily.

1 Adult Multivitamin

1-2 Kid’s Gummy Multivitamins

1 Madre Labs packet for lunch on Thurs & Fri

Tru-Vegan Supplement for dinner on Thurs

Replenish Drink Mix while at the gym on Fri

Whey protein shake after gym for dinner on Fri

Notes:

I’d like to take acidophilous during this week too, but I’ve ran out of the tablets, and I wasn’t planning on buying more for a while. I might buy Kombucha, which is a probiotic drink, but will not start today (Thursday).

All day yesterday I was sick to my stomach, so this seemed like a great plan. This morning I’m a little hungry, and I’m worried, but I will try to liquid fast for at least a few days. I’ll try the supplements, and add in some juice. There is a good chance I will drink tea, and a slim chance I will have a cup of coffee.

I’m not really trying these products because I think they will make a big difference in the next couple of days, but I’m curious if I try a lot of them at once if I will notice some kind of change in my health. Also, I haven’t really done any research into these products (nor do I endorse them), but since it’s only a small test sample I’m not too concerned about negative outcomes.

(Edit: If anyone does use iherb.com to order things, you can use the code INE500 for first time users and get 5 dollars off your order.)
