HI jen,

it is important to look after our general health whilst on Cohens. for most people there is a huge improvement while they are doing Cohens but not always, for various reasons.

For me one of the great gifts in this programme is I have refound the ability to listen to my body and to be able to distinguish this form just my head, emotional, ego based needs and old patterns.

Calcium is important and Cohens includes both vitamins and minerals to be taken everyday. Not doing so is a deviation - and a serious one. For most people a general one, particularly the ones they recommend which are good quality is enough. Some people need extra of some things. My body has great bone density so I didn't take an extra calcium. However if you are worried about it then do so. Just a couple of things to take into account when doing so.

Make sure that you check with your clinic about the tablets you are taking to ensure they don't have additives in them which can slow down your losses and throw the balance off.

Minerals in particular work in a seesaw arrangement in our bodies, as do some vitamins as well. So having excess of one mineral can mean depletion in another. Be careful that having too much calcium does not mean you are upsetting this balance - can't remember this morning what the balance of this is. unfortunately most doctors are not trained in this amount of detail so a good naturopath is often a better resource to go to than a doctor.

Hope this helps,
Enjoy the journey,
Shanara
