It honestly boggles my mind when people talk about their doc saying that 2 flintstone vitamins is enough for them for life. It's just not. It's just not something to screw around with after you've spent so much time and effort to get healthy to NOT spend the $35 a month (approx... this is about what I pay total) to be healthy for your lifetime.
Oh the children's vitamins just boggle my mind something fierce. And what bothers me more is when they get recommended to pre-ops as appropriate for post-ops!
