Current Supplements and Medicines

(Last updated 8/20/08)

Traditional medicine offers no cure, no hope. But Marcy takes many supplements to stay strong and some OTC and prescribed medicines to ease symptoms.

I keep a list of all her medicines (and times they are administered) in a spreadsheet so I can easily communicate them to doctors and nurses when we go in the hospital. Click here for a PDF of this list.

In addition to this list, here are some other notes:

Water – Marcy consumes over a gallon of filtered, ionized water a day. She has a continuous feed of water through her feeding tube at 175 ml/hr. The ionized water helps keep her alkaline to help keep disease away. We use a Mavello filter for all water consumed in the house.

E-Lyte from Body-bio, Inc (NJ) for electrolytes needed by the body. Marcy gets half a cup of E-Lyte in every half gallon of water she consumes.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil – Marcy gets a tablespoon of EVOO every day to provide calories and oils without saturated fats.

And every day I post medicines given to Marcy at the bottom of our Daily Update page.

I am happy to provide more detail about her supplements and how to get them to anyone who asks.
