Hello! I'm just so curious about these two. Do you have them store-bought or the fresh one?

I take Aloe Vera, omega 3 fish oils, folic acid, multivitamin and papaya extract, all of which my consultant said was ok for me to take. I can't say for sure but I stopped taking them for a few days and my count dropped to 29, that's the lowest count I have ever had I started taking them and had a blood test 3 days later and it was up to 66. Best to check with your consultant before taking them as everybody is different

Everyday you take all of them? Can you tell me the brand name of Aloevera & Fish oil tablets? I am just thinking of trying all as my count is always below 20... I tried Colustrum powder for a month and didn't see any changes.. Not sure if I should continue or stop.
