Default 45 pills a day-Jack Canfield

On the Montel Williams show, Jack Canfield mentioned that he takes 45? pills a day.

I wonder what types of pills these are. I suppose many could be supplements of vitamins, etc...but it would be interesting to know.

yes if they are supplements for his health and if he is so good at manifesting wouldnt he want to just manifest good health without taking all those pills....(or is that the action/doing part of manifesting?)

Default That sounds weird

That's creepy. I could see someone who had AIDS take 45 pills a day, but not a healthy man.

My guess is that they are supplements. Many good supplements (ie whole food types) require that you take many of them to get the necessary nutrients. Usually you take synthetic vitamins in smaller doses.

Concerning LOA/ IM for good health: it seems to me that this is one of our universe laws at work and you can't ignore the other laws that govern us and expect to get away with it. Out food supply is pathetic.....IM all you want....but drink antifreeze and you are going to die

I'm studying to be a Nutritionist right now. Already completed my main course, just have 2 electives left.

I've been thinking about the same thing myself. Meaning, how does Subjective Reality and LoA fall into play with things like eating healthy and supplements etc. According to Subjective Reality one could program his world to have a good food supply and get his nutrients from food rather than pills. Still working on figuring this one one.

One way he could be taking 45 pills per day is due to small doses. For example, the UDO's Omega 3-6-9 essential fatty acids capsules I take allow you to take anywhere from 1-3 capsules at one time x 3 times a day. If you're a bigger person you could even take more if you wanted to as they only add up to like a tablespoon or something. So that would be lets say 3x3 = 9 capsules right there for that. You can get the same thing by pouring a tablespoon of EFA oil on yoru salad but many prefer capsules.

If he takes a multivitamin, some ask you to take 3-4 per day spread out over the day, so right there you have 13 pills already.

45 seems pretty high still, but it could be because he's buying his supplements seperately. FOr example he could buy a multivitamin which also has liver support with Horse Tail Extract in one pill, or he could be buying them seperately. LOL, I guess someone could purchase all the vitamins seperately instead of a multivitamin as well, and take them one by one, hehehe. Vitamin B, Vitamin B12, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Calcium, Zinc, Selenium, EFA's, Magnesium, etc. all taken seperately 3 times a day would be a lot of pills. Not sure why anyone would do that though.

The other possibility is that he either went to some crazy doctor who gave him a crapload of stupid drugs, or a nutritionist that's VERY picky about specific doses of vitamins/minerals, OR he's just on crack with all that stuff taking the gunshot approach to health which isn't good.

One thing people shouldn't be surprised about is the fact that just because someone is an author and makes a lot of money, doesn't mean they are automatically good at being healthy. That might not be a lesson they have learned yet. Even if they fully understand LoA and use it in some areas of life, doesn't mean they use it in all areas of life. Some LoA practitioners might be good at health and wealth but they could suck in relationships for example etc. We have to stop looking at anyone who teaches us stuff as perfect. THey are all human beings and prone to the same mistakes as us. In fact, since they use LoA, any mistake they do make in their beliefs will be multiplied BIG TIME. So maybe he mistakenly used LoA to attract supplemnts into his life big time, instead of manifesting HEALTH.

I think this is entirely possible, not because of the theory of subjective reality which I only partially buy into, but mostly because that possibility is backed up by quantum physics.

In fact, physists have known for years that the most probable theories say that this kind of odd behavior (ie; changing molecular structure with intention) is possible. They've spent the better part of the 20th century trying to prove their own theories wrong, and then finally coming to terms with them!

Anyhow, it's been a while since I tried to explain this, but check out Fred Alan Wolfe and a movie called What The Bleep Do We Know. It's quite interesting.

Ok, I couldn't resist posting this link too. It's a satirical news article about the FDA approving the placebo for pharmacutical use:

I went on this vitamin freak thing once and I can see how you could easily take 45 pills a day. That is only nine pills five times a day. For those of you who aren't vitamin freaks, I get how that sounds like a lot, but when you are taking spirulina, fish oils, borage, turmeric, milk thistle, probiotics, vitamins, cinnamon, blah blah blah...you can pop 60+ pills a day easily.

It's funny, I still take probably more supplements than most people, but I am down to about 20 pills a day and can't tell the difference from when I was taking better than 60 a day.

Jack Canfield must be a fan of Ray Kurzweil and his book Fantastic Voyage: Live Long Enough to Live Forever.

No your's are purple because you can't decide if the Matrix is real or it's just a movie.

Red face Hypothetical context

Hi guys,
I saw that show and he was using the sentence within the context of a hypothetical situation. In other words, he was using an example of someone's complaining that they take 45 pills a day because they are sick. Not that he himself takes 45 pills a day. He also uses the example about a girl who is having problems with her boyfriend. I doubt Jack Canfield has a boyfriend, and even if he did, I doubt he'd refer to himself as a 'she'. It is really confusing sometimes, but that's the way he talks.
