My baby wouldn't be here if it wasn't for vitamins and supplements

Story:

All I know is my baby wouldn't be here if it wasn't for vitamins and supplements for growth. She was born with a congenital heart defect that can lead to heart failure. Angela has a VSD, MVP and aortic regurgitation. She is doing well now because she could only have soy formula and now she can only drink Lactaid milk because she has a milk allergy. If it wasn't for Calcium fortified Lactaid milk I"m sure she would not be as strong and not grow properly as regular children with no health problems. This is something she has to live with the rest of her life. Please do not ban vitamins and supplements. What you should ban is some chemicals that were found in a vitamin that I took. Of course, there is no research on heart defects with products that you use, but the stuff I use now are from a wellness company that does not use the chemicals in vitamins that I used before pregnancy and I feel better and have more energy than ever before. I'm sticking to it for better health, mentally, emotionally, and for more energy to take care of Angela and my husband. What will women take when they are pregnant also? I had to take iron formulated vitamins.... if i didn't i probably wouldn't have made it with my baby being delivered as it was. I had toxemia and anemia when she came out and didn't even get to hold her. With my body type I do need vitamins, without that I wouldn't be here right now.
