- Determine Frequency
- Decide how often to take the chosen amount:
- Example: If you tested for 1 capsule, ask, "How often should I take 1 capsule of this supplement? 1x/day? 2x/day? 3x/week?" Continue until you get a 'yes.'
- Determine Duration
- Establish the duration for taking the determined amount:
- Example: If you tested taking 1 capsule 2x/day, ask, "How long should I take 1 capsule 2x/day? Less than 1 week? More than 1 week?" Continue until you get a 'yes' for the specific amount of days or length of time.
- Verify Dosage Adjustments
- After your initial duration, check if you need to adjust your dosage:
- Example: If you tested 1 capsule 2x/day for 4 days, ask, "Can I determine my needs for this supplement after 4 days?"
- If 'no,' return after 4 days to reassess your optimal dosage. If 'yes,' repeat the steps to determine the amount and frequency needed after the initial period.
- Example: You might find you need 1 capsule 1x/day for a month following the initial 1 capsule 2x/day for 4 days.
Key tips:
- Test Other Details: To design your personalized supplement protocol, consider testing specific details related to your supplement intake, such as:
- Taking with food or on an empty stomach?
- Taking in the morning, afternoon, or evening?
- Taking with other supplements or alone?
- Assessing interactions with other supplements, medications or specific foods.
- Evaluating hydration needs when taking the supplement.
- In-the-Moment Testing: Testing your needs in the present is usually more reliable than planning for the future.
- Ongoing Adjustments: While taking your supplements, regularly tune in to see if any adjustments are needed. You may require more or less of a specific supplement at any time.
- Monthly Review: Check and update your supplement protocol at least once a month, or more frequently, to ensure your supplement regimen is optimally supporting your health.

General Supplement Information
Why do you need to supplement?
Unfortunately, due to the nutrient depletion of our soil, our food does not contain the level of nutrients that it once did thus necessitating supplementation. Externally, we are up against considerable accumulating toxin and pathogen exposure on a daily basis in addition to toxins and pathogens we inherit from our parents where we are starting life off already burdened.
This landmark study (Body Burden: The Pollution in Newborns) found an average of 200 industrial chemicals and pollutants in umbilical cord blood from 10 babies born in August and September of 2004 in U.S. hospitals. Tests revealed a total of 287 chemicals in the group. The umbilical cord blood of these 10 children, collected by the Red Cross after the cord was cut, harbored pesticides, consumer product ingredients, and wastes from burning coal, gasoline and garbage.
Supplements coupled with healing foods within an appropriately hydrated body are often essential to provide enough of a stimulus and support for you to be able to meet your healing goals.
The quality and dosage of your supplements ABSOLUTELY MATTERS!
- Purity and potency are critical!
- Any tincture should be alcohol-free.
- Organic products are optimal.
- No fillers or preservatives such as citric acid, natural flavors, aspartame, MSG (monosodium glutamate), alcohol, guar gum, carrageenan and other possibilities.
- There are numerous Problematic Supplements on the market that are not actually beneficial for you.
- We are always vetting brands to find the best quality products. Our current favorites for herbs are Vimergy, Hawaii Pharm and Nature’s Answer. For vitamins and mineral supplements we recommend Pure Encapsulations which can be purchased at a 10% discount through our Fullscript account.
- Getting the right dosage is essential!
- A dropperful means the amount that’s pulled up into the dropper when you fully squeeze the top. It may be only ½ full of the dropper which is fine.
- *Be aware some supplementation is in drops and not dropperfuls like Nascent Iodine.
- All provided dosage ranges are for adults, not children.
- Supplements taken 2x/day need to be separated by at least 4 hours but ideally spaced out ~12 hours.

- It can be extremely confusing and overwhelming to be a supplement consumer. There are so many products out there of which many have undesirable additives and may not contain adequate dosages to actually be therapeutic. Please refer to the Problematic Supplement Self-Reflection to take a good analysis of your current supplements.
- It is not uncommon to be on 10-20 different supplements at a time, even to just maintain optimal health let alone facilitate healing and detox. Your amount may vary depending on your individual needs and circumstances.
- If you are sensitive or have a lot of symptoms and health issues, it is suggested that you introduce 1 supplement at a time at a low dose and gradually increase as tolerated. Wait ~3-5 days before adding another supplement.
- Supplements facilitate detoxification. Thus it is very important that you are properly hydrated to be able to appropriately eliminate toxins through your bowel and bladder. Otherwise they will stay in your system perpetuating dis-ease.
- Refer here for important safety, healing and detox information.
Recommended Supplementation Process:
- Start with the top 3 foundational supplements: Zinc, B12, and C. Establish taking these consistently for ~2-4 weeks, then try a healing supplement.
- Liquids may be used both orally or topically to areas of discomfort. For topical use, a few drops can cover an area of about 4"x4." Adjust your amount based on the size of the region you are addressing. It is suggested to do a small trial area first using 1-2 drops to determine your sensitivity. From there, apply 2-3x day.
- Add 1 healing supplement at a time, especially if you are sensitive. Start at a low dose and gradually work your way up. Wait at least 3-5 days before adding another.
- Typically, you would work with a particular healing supplement for at least 1 month but sometimes longer, such as 6 months, as needed.
- Some herbs such as licorice, goldenseal and oregon grape root need to be rotated on/off every 2 weeks.
- Keep in mind that every person has their own unique health story and these categories are generalized guidelines. It may take some time to find the supplements that work best for you. Be patient with the process and your body.
