The TONIC and Pregnancy

There are prescription medications specifically warning women of child-bearing years against taking citing the probability of severe side affects. Example, the acne medicines Accutane and Retin-A are known to cause birth defects. http://www.ehow.com/facts_4870440_acne-medicine-during-pregnancy.html  

If pregnant and aware of it there should be a trusted healthcare professional already in place. If thinking about becoming pregnant it’s a good idea to rid the body of toxins like Accutane and Retin-A, again consulting a professional. Talk with a trusted healthcare professional if pregnant or preparing to conceive.

Garlic may help improve your iron metabolism. That's because the diallyl sulfides in garlic can help increase production of ferroportin a protein that runs across the cell membrane, and it forms a passageway that allows stored iron to leave the cells and become available where needed. http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=60

Are LEMONS safe to eat during pregnancy?

Lemons are actually a great source of vitamin C and reported to help with morning sickness. Remember, anything in moderation is fine; eating too much of anything could be taking the place of other nutritious foods.
