Natural foods are the best way to get all the necessary vitamins and minerals--but Americans don't want to give up their junk, and would prefer to supplement their poor diet with a multivitamin. I'm glad you are of the minority who want to just eat better!<br /><br />Anyway, for those with a more severe deficiency who have to ingest above and beyond what they can naturally, there are chewable versions of vitamins out there...Viactiv chews have Vitamin D and calcium, and come in yummy flavors like chocolate. Iron is a bit more tricky, but sometimes you can take a few more chewable Flintstone vitamins to get enough iron--ask the pharmacist.<br /><br />I'd consider treating your lymph node with a 10 day course of antibiotics such as keflex or augmentin to see if that would help it go down a little more quickly--if not, I would refer you to an ENT doctor to take a fine needle biopsy and see if there isn't anything else funky with it....LaurelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
