Capsule Comments
with Ernie Miatello
Some children's liquid medication con-
tains much sugar. If you are giving a dose
at bedtime, encourage the child to rinse
his mouth after swallowing the medica-
tion to rinse the sugar off the teeth.
When visiting your doctor, it is a good idea to bring a list of ALL
the medications you are taking with the doses of each. Include
non-prescription medications In your list as well. It helps give
your doctor a complete picture of your medication consumption.
Keep that list with you at all times. You never know when it
might be very important in an emergency.
Some people believe that fasting will flush away toxins from the
body. There is no truth to this. The body rids Itself of toxins con-
stantly whether you are eating or not. That Is what the liver Is
for. Fasting does not change this.
When taking calcium supplements, take smaller amounts more
often through the day rather than a large amount all at once.
You will absorb more calcium and decrease the chance of con-
stipation.
