All these just plain confused me. I believe the articles talked about certain vitamins, zinc, and protiens. Are there any hard fast rules Anyone could share with me to help clarify this most confusing topic? I am not sure how to begin safely now, and not sure how best to proceed. Please advise me if anyone can help.
