I have to part company with Eric about vitamins and supplements. IMO they are bullish*t and there is no scientific proof as to their efficacy. In fact they may even be harmful (as they just recently discovered with vitamin E). Supplements are not regulated and the strengths and purity is all over the map so how do you know what you are really taking? What they are, however, is a multibillion dollar a year snake oil business.
You should be able to get all of the vitamins and minerals you need by eating a healthy, well balanced diet. I have heard many (real) doctors state this over the years.
Osteopathy is yet another pseudoscience... Show me scientific proof please.
