They can certainly be vegetarian or non-vegetarian, depending of course on
the source of the vitamin. To confuse the biochemist’s idea of a vitamin or
mineral with the facts of manufacture and commerce has tripped up many a
chemist.

Vitamin A can be sourced from fish oil, and is non-vegan. This is listed on
the label, so if some operator doesn’t know, they must be illiterate
entrepreneurs.
Vitamin D can be from wool, and is non-vegan.
Calcium can be from oyster shell.

There are some other examples. In addition, many vitamin preparations can
contain other materials (like liver) which make them non-vegan.

BTW, I don’t believe it is wise to consume tea tree oil unless you have a
solid reason for doing so. I certainly don’t believe that tea tree oil (or
anything) is a cure-all, suited for all illnesses–CONTRARY to what the
entrepreneurs will tell you.

    What you meant was, I SELL a formula called From the Earth. So please don’t
    post your commercial references here.

    Paul, isn’t  tea tree oil a topical antiseptic for external topical use
    only?

    No, Paul, I DON’T sell From The Earth.  I don’t even know if they are
    really doing me any good.  I don’t feel any different since I have
    taken them.  I take supplements because I have been led to believe that
    most of us don’t get all we need from our diet.

    What is your opinion of taking vitamin/mineral supplements?  Also, what
    do you think is the best diet for most people?  Is there any food group
    that you feel should be avoided?

    People take it internally. Even topically on mucous membranes is an
    absorbance route.

    Sorry, I am suspicious of the lurking entrepreneurs, and not without reason.
    Please make a disclaimer if you reference an actual brand.

    I am on record opposing daily fruit consumption by modern peoples under
    stress. As for vitamin/mineral pills–I generally favor such insurance, and
    see very, very little downside, provided this is kept within the range of
    reason, and doesn’t involve consuming omnibus pills with three hundred
    ingredients in ug. doses.

  6. Hi Stacie: with regards to the activator method, my DC was using it when I
    started using him, he then switched over about three years ago, I was a
    little skeptical but after only one treatment, it obtained the same
    results.  There really should not be too much pain with the old method and
    with the Activator there is none.
    Hope this is of some value
