Pharmacist, nutritionist and cosmetic chemist, Ben Fuchs shared alternative health concepts, and offered tips on supplements and healthy changes to one's diet and lifestyle. On the question of whether a person can take too many vitamins, he noted that water-soluble ones such as vitamins C and B are readily flushed out of the system. However, fat-soluble vitamins such as A, D, and E remain in the body longer and should be carefully dosed. The problem of tinnitus or ear ringing is associated with inflammation in the ear, he suggested, and sufferers often have blood sugar and digestive issues in parallel. He recommended they focus on strengthening their intestinal health and blood sugar system.
The stress hormone cortisol can prevent people from losing weight, so by reducing mental and emotional stress, one may have a better chance of seeing results, he cited. Regarding a weight loss diet, he recommended getting carbs from vegetables rather than grains and avoiding processed food which is low in electrical and enzymatic energy. Taking plant-derived minerals helps to push out metallic toxins, and bentonite clay and activated charcoal can also be effective for clearing out toxins, Fuchs added.
