[QUOTE="Winnie53, post: 860071, member: 160246"] Tom Malterre - ( [URL]http://www.nourishingmeals.com/p/about-us.html[/URL] ) Tom, has a bachelor's and master's degree in nutrition, and just completed his certification in advanced functional medicine. When he's not writing books with his wife, he "coaches doctors and other health-care practitioners on Functional Medicine protocols". I haven't read his newest book, The Elimination Diet, though I am sampling sections... :) When Tom lectures here, I go and listen. From the new book, pages 107 - 113: "There are a handful of supplements that I like to recommend for most people before and during the Elimination Diet. The supplements will support you on this program in a variety of ways. It's important to note that this information should not serve as a replacement for advice from your own health-care practitioner. I recommend searching for a practitioner trained in Functional Medicine." With that said, here's the list, some you're all ready taking: 1. multivitamin; 2. vitamin D; 3. essential fatty acids; 4. magnesium; 5. activated charcoal; 6.
