Answers
1)   You need to eat more banana's to build up your potassium level. Sounds very low. Over doing with energy supplements will cause you to crash harder each day, more & more.

Stop using them and take One a day with iron, zink and eat more solid foods. - Dating Coach

2)   coconut water and green leafy veggies, don't under estimate the veggies. - Matt

3)   Are you getting enough complex carbs? That's what keeps ya going through heavy labor. - Tink

4)   Take your vitamin B's. I take Nature's Plus Source of Life (multi-vitamin with an emphasis on energy)and they have all kinds of vitamin B and extra other vitamins and minerals that are all organic for energy and these seem to work for me. I do supplement with 6 Hour Energy (as opposed to the 5 Hour) sometimes, or an energy drink. Watch what you eat, like no fatty foods or chinese food or turkey because these can make you feel tired. - AtLarge

5)   Eat lots of complex carbohydrates. That will be longer lasting and healthier than chemicals. You should be eating a balanced diet and getting proper sleep. If not, you may need to take a vitamin supplement, especially for B's and Mg. - Barefoottrimmer

6)   Spirulina tablets every day will boost your energy level. - Susan Yarrawonga

Question 2
Is it safe to fast for four days?...  I plan on drinking only water and tea with supplements if possible.

Answers
1)   Well, even though water can sustain your body for a period of time, and tea contains only SOME of your daily nutrients that you need, it is pretty risky... If I were you, I wouldn't try it. No longer than 1 1/2 days... - LOTSOFQs

2)   Yes, but you may begin to feel bad. - Clayton

3)   Yes, it is safe to fast. When you break your fast, make sure to eat plenty of green vegetables and lean complete protein to replenish your reserves. - .

4)   i dont think its healthy, if youre trying to lose weight it wont work, your body will go into starvation mode and your metabolism will slow down, youd be better off eating small meals. - Lauren

5)   While it is safe to fast for four days but on your own is Very Risky. Do it under the
supervision of a trained health practitioner (not your medical doctor) and you just cannot
go wrong. Good luck and God bless. Cheers! :o) - Sudhakar B

Question 3
graphites use of homopathy medicine?...  whats use of graphites

Answers
1)   It's a leading remedy for people with serious skin problems (among other things). But it should always be remembered that homeopathic remedies are never prescribed on a takethisforthat basis like allopathic drugs. The prescription needs to be matched to the individual's total symptomatology. If it isn't, it either won't work, or the patient can end up with symptoms s/he never had before which is hardly the intention.
You can find decent remedy descriptions on the web at ABC Homeopathy. - thenoseknows

2)   Homeopathic remedy graphites is made using using powdered form of pure graphite, a mineral in the form of carbon, and is used to treat different and dissimilar ailments mostly skin conditions. - Janice

3)   Graphites is used to cure Eczema , Fatty accumulation under skin ( Bump) , Psoriasis of skin etc. skin related diseases according to symptoms of the person effected . Its mother tincture ( Q potency & 200 potency are effective ) . To dissolve fat accumulation under skin & for Psoriasis its 200 potency is generally used. In Eczema & ring worm its Q potency is used for application over the effected area. - Hirday Prakash

4)   Graphite can be a skin irritant, so following homeopathy's law of similars (like cures like), homeopathic graphite is used to cure skin conditions. Its also used used for digestive problems, and I'm sure this is because swallowing graphite would lead to all sorts of digestive problems. However your body's 'vital forces' will know which condition the remedy is for - so if you use it for a skin condition it won't have an effect on your digestive system.

I have two problems with this:

The law of similars is bogus - it has no basis in reality.
The remedy itself will be so dilute that not one molecule of the graphite will remain.

Homeopathy has never been able to be substantiated to work beyond placebo for any condition - hardly surprising. Don't waste your money. - Gary Y

5)   a dilution factor of 200... would mean that it is more dilute than if you had 1 molecule of graphite, in all the atoms of the observable universe put together.

MORE dilute than that - kelly d

Question 5
I need some serious supplement advice. Help?...  I'm 5'8" and about 138 pounds. I've gained about 15 pound in the last year or so, and Ive lost some, but need some help with the last 10. I bought a benonite detox, powdered psyllinium husks, glucomananan, slimming tea, green tea, and some greens low sugar high protein powder from after workouts and meal replacements. Now I realise that I bought this stuff due to marketing and desperation, and am not sure how to use any of it. How should I use these, when, and in what combination?
I must have spelled 1/2 of that wrong and am completely in over my head.

Answers
1)   Well meal replacements, are BS. You need to continue to feed your body the nutrients it needs to stay healthy. Regardless of if your losing weight or gaining it, Whey protein powder works well ( muscle milk, tastes better :) ). Drink it with meals. Its recommended, to have at least 2-3 a day. Definitely before and after your workouts.
If your looking to detox your body, eat strictly brockely for two weeks. It cleans out your body, and fills your appetite fast. - Tink

2)   You are going to be underweight... - crystaldreams8

3)   You better try some other alternative medicine like Yoga and other exercise. Nowadays, we should be healthy mentally, physically and emotionally. - Janice

4)   Weight loss supplements and especially detox products do virtually nothing. Eat less and exercise more. - Gary Y

5)   Yes, "eating less and moving more" is the key to losing weight, As hard as it may sound yet simple..

i would def take the green tea. And also if you are worried about supplements I would take a blood test at ur doctors to see if you are deficient in any vitamins.. like iron, vitamin D etc.

Apple cider vinegar works great to suppress appetite. - Rank13
