To me, science in general should be held responsible for anything they recommend, and the idiots that take their advice accountable for the results. Next thing you know, all NYC will close down all operations, the result of a weather report. I can remember as a child in school being told that the measles vaccine was good for life. On top of that I caught the measles, mumps, and chickenpox; predecessor of shingles I later had. I expect the black death to return soon out of the Euphrates.
Wait just a minute??? Those people do make money out of their recommendations don't they? Hmmmm.
I'm in a mood; I just finished filling out my 2014 taxes all you people voted for.

I read somewhere that other people have criticized the tests they ran on the supplements. I don't know anything about all that, but I will say...
...lately, there have been studies and such coming down really, really, really hard on supplements. I mean, call it a waste of money if you want to, but supplements don't kill people. Hospitals, drug-drug interactions, sometimes drugs themselves...kill people. And not just a few people, either.

I dunno. I mean, I do Orthomolecular. I still take my Rx meds, without fail. The two complement each other, which is how the OM docs intended it to be in the first place. I find all this scrutiny of (relatively harmless, generally inexpensive) supplements to be unwarranted, and possibly motivated by something other than "protecting the public" or whatever.

I get my supplements from Infowars. Stan's been taking "Super Male Vitality" and "Secret 12"- he says he feels like he has more energy. I've been taking "Ancient Defense" and haven't gotten sick despite the hordes of virus infested children I deal with on a daily basis.

I take a potent multivitamin from Dr. Douglass' outfit who helped formulate the multi with the right dosage and types of nutrients one needs AND in an absorbable form. I must admit, I feel a little better on them than I did taking 24-30 vitamin/mineral pills a day from mainline such as Puritan's Pride or similar vitamin franchises. Nobody makes a proper balance due to the fact that if people actually got the right ones, they'd be like me and never go to doctors (but mainline vitamins help if you're willing to be a nut like me and take loads and loads of them-- most people don't do that and only get a fraction of what I do). In this case, I found Dr. Douglass' vitamins were better probably due to the extra Pantothenic acid (50X RDA) instead of about 5X. Same with Niacin it's hard to find a way to get that short of buying it separately. They only have about 2.5X RDA instead of about 10X in this formula. etc etc. Panto is great for stress, and emotions, something which I deal with since I'm an adrenal type.
