Book Review 2

• Dosages too large!, May 1, 1999 Reviewer A
  reader I tried Mindell's remedy for headaches
  (page 221). One part of his remedy called for
  taking 200 mg of b-complex per day. When I told a
  health care professional that I was taking 200 mg
  of b-complex per day he said that it was too
  much. I got a second opinion and he said the same
  thing. I cut back the dosage from 200 mg to 150
  mg per day and I developed anemia, my toe nails
  started to turn black and fall out. I developed
  hypoacidity as well as liver problems and my hair
  started to turn gray. I had never had these
  problems in the past. Bottom line...in some cases
  the dosages that Mindell is advocating are too
  large.
