    So, I just took the commitment yesterday. No more meat for me.
    Now, I just have on question; The only things going against my helath is that I smoke a samll amount of cigarettes, and I also use marijuana and psychedelics ( though the psyches pose no real threat to my psychical health). Also, I had my spleen removed for almost two years. This means I don't have a very good immune system, and for that, I take penecillin(sp?) twice daily. this had posed no problems yet. Anway, my real question is what additional vitamins should I be taking. Would a multiviatamin do it?

    From "Health central"http://www.healthcentral.com/drdean/408/60992.html



    Many recent studies have found that the amount of vitamins in most vitamin pills is way too much and may actually increase rates of cancer and heart disease.
    After all if there is no way that you can get these larger amounts naturally in food, that should be a warning to you.
    This study tried small amounts of vitamins and found that they helped men a little but not women, because women eat better diets.

    The point is that you do not need large amounts of vitamins but only the amounts you might get if you ate your veggies.
