natural herbal supplements for immune system health, gut health, mental health, and healing hormonal & inflammatory acne :-) these systems are ALL inextricably linked!! so supporting one system will inevitably support the other systems and i truly recommend everyone to take all majority if not all of the supplements i recommend. these recommendations are only of the highest quality, as it is EXTREMELY important to use only high-quality, organic supplements, i know it can be more pricy, but the cheaper ones often have a lot of junk in them and are not as potent in the supplement, thus making it ineffective. some of the best brands that might not be organic but are still good quality, and most affordable are “nature's way," “solaray”, and “NOW”

I don’t trust many vitamin/supplement brands, but these two are good ones!
What I look for in a “must have” item:
•Functional (does it do the job right?)
•Affordability (does the cost fit the need?)
•Reliability (does it work every time?)
•Longevity (will it hold up to the task for the time I need it to?)
There are other factors of course and these are not necessarily in the same order every time. But I’m not one to throw money in the wind. So this list gets checked off every time for sure.

For the most part, I can honestly say that I'm in pretty decent shape for an old woman over 60. As a matter-of-fact, I've been taking Balance of Nature for over a year and I feel fantastic when I don't forget to take my pills for the day. Oddly enough, now that I'm 67, I sometimes feel better than I did when I first hit my 60's. At the time, I was experiencing more of the joint pain that I only occasionally feel nowadays. Maybe I'm so used to it, I don't really know it's there anymore. Whatever the case, I'm glad I only have my “old folks” aches and pains on an occasional basis. And THANK GOD, the carpal tunnel syndrome I used to suffer from, doesn't still bother me. The following list contains some of the many ways I used to combat the joint pain I felt in various parts of my body. I also share the item I sincerely believe helped to all but cure my carpal tunnel when I was in my 40's, even though like everything else, the pain returned periodically, when I was in my early 60's. These items can help people who aren't dealing with joint conditions that require them to be under a doctor's care. If that's the case, any medication or medical treatments and remedies should be approved by your physician.
