what makes the placebo effect so powerful that sometimes even fake drugs work on patients with very real conditions

In many drug studies the placebo effect is greater than the non-placebo effect under study, at a fraction of the cost. Faith and positive thinking invokes a higher power with real world effects that are easily measured scientifically, but impossible for the FDA to shake down for money. Only a libtard would ban a conduit that clearly works for some people, but not for others.

There are a few supplements I take regularly and would never go off for long. ALA & ALCAR are just great and I don’t get sick as frequent while taking them, my vision is noticeably improved, & healing is faster. I’ve found I like Mdrive also. I do agree with the caution. It is easy to overdose on Vitamin A and it will give you migraine and make you sick if you do. Zinc is another which is good to a certain point but can actually compromise your immune system if you take too much. The biggest risk is with combo and stacked supplements. If you arent careful you can find yourself getting overdosed because you take several different supplements that all have added vitamins. Most of the time if people just use common sense they will be fine.

I must have missed all the people dropping dead from taking vitamins. The latest epidemic. Vitamin OD.

Author is a complete idiot! One example...when vitamin b6 and B2 is is absorbed by the body, your urine will become darker. If your urine is dark yellow and you do not take vitamins, you are, most likely dehydrated. The author knows nothing about dietary supplements or the industry.

I take 2 vitamins, aspirin (325 mg/day) and red wine. Health is still perfect.

Supplements (whole food supplements, herbs, vitamins, minerals, oils, certain amino acids, etc.) have made a big difference in my life. Probably as much as 2/3rds of all the supplements I’ve tried have seemingly done nothing or I’ve had a bad reaction to them, but the other 1/3 have been tremendously helpful. If you do your research and understand what health issues you are trying to improve, then natural health measures including quality supplements can be a great thing, even for serious issues. Sometimes you have to take the time to experiment to see what works though.

A man who takes Zinc knows why he takes it.
