I personally think that taking lots of different supplements can be more of a hindrance; sometimes causing imbalance, which can be worse than not enough I know you have to be really careful of which source Vit E comes from, for instance. I know a lot of people don't agree but IMO and from personal experience, it is better to take something like kelp or spirulina or wheat grass; because these are in a balanced form and contain most trace minerals and lots of B and some C etc., maybe Vit C on its own is ok though and he would probably need this. My husband has a really low tolerance for *anything* and I have found the Higher Nature Truefood C is really ok for him, whereas I have tried straight ascorbic acid and he has all sorts of problems. He is also ok with spirulina. Hope he feels better soon. Dee

My husband has always been extremely strong and had a high pain tolerance but since his open heart surgery aches and pains bother him terribly. Does surgery use up your endomorphins and you have to build them back up? My dad had this same reaction after heart surgery and never seemed to get his pain tolerance back Not many years back my husband was in a bad horse crash and had a horse go over backwards on him and then got up and walked all over him when he was down. He had a cracked hip and several broken ribs and took part of his ear off and limited palse in one leg. He told me not to call 911 because he would be able to get up in a few minutes. I didn't listen and this hospitalized him for days and they came close to amputating the leg. He said since heart surgery he feels like a whimp. I don't know what to think or do for him.
