Handling Supplements when Flying!

It is VITAL that Nutri-West Core Level and other supplements NOT go into your checked baggage as they will get heavy radiation. The radiation makes them not only no longer helpful, but actually harmful to you! You also must NOT put them in your carry-on bags which go onto the conveyer belt as they will also receive radiation that way. One of my patients recently experienced bringing me supplements after they had been radiated. They all tested out as harmful. She had to replace about $120.00 in supplements because she had not followed the instructions I gave her re: flying with supplements.

I suggest that you take the supplements you will be taking for a short trip and divide them up into daily doses, putting each day?€™s supplements in a small baggie. Then pack all the baggies into a larger one. These should all be see-through. If it is a longer trip, pour each supplement from the bottle into a baggie and write which supplement it is on the bag. Then put all those baggies into a larger zip-lock one. When you approach the security walk-thru inform an attendant that ?€?these need to be hand checked?€? as your doctor advises you not to have them x-rayed. Hand them to the person AROUND the walk-thru. (Do not take them through or pass them through the walk-thru). As the supplements are all visible, they don?€™t have to open each bottle.

With the new rulings about liquids and gels, you may not be able to bring through homeopathic drops or any gel capsules. It may be wise to ship them to your destination by UPS if they are something you use regularly. We could also ship you a new order of them directly to your destination. If you want to ship them yourself via UPS, ask us for labels for the box which states ?€?Medicinal ?€“ do not irradiate.?€?
