I purchased an internet subscription to Dr. Weil’s anti-inflammatory. The idea of cross referencing my current vitamin programs against Dr. Weil’s free vitamin Advisor work up question seemed like a good idea since I am frequently in doubt of what to take. In fact found some significant holes where found. I have listed and color coded his suggested vitamins against what I am currently taking.
