First, you should be aware most doctors have no training or education on the matter of supplementation or nutrition--their focus is pharmacology. Gloria and Jerre recommend two things, therefore:
1) Find yourself a good naturopath and arrange for a consultation.
2) Have a peek at our book Secrets of Supplements: The Good, The Bad, The Totally Terrific (download free chapters or buy the whole book at www.phytemedia.com or, for a digital copy, at Amazon.com). We spell out the link among good health, nutrition, and supplements. Reading our book before your consultation with a naturopath will make your discussion much more effective.
We're thrilled you're asking about education and not just information--if only our kids were taught about nutrition throughout their school lives!
