Maybe your part liberal, I can only assume as much since you started your reply with a personal attack. My only point is that over the counter supplements are very expensive and you absorb very little. This in my book is a waste of money. Every legitimate study shows supplements are only effective if you have a deficiency and that can only be determined from lab work.

Go get some blood drawn. If your deficient your doctor will prescribe a pharmaceutical grade supplement. If your not deficient, then there is no need to. Any over the counter supplement with one exception that I know of are garbage and you are literally pissing your money away.

However, its a free country (somewhat and for a limited time) and if you think supplements will help your health by all means its your money, feel free to waste as much of it as wish on supplements. Keep in mind your body will expel most (%99) of what you take in, usually through your urine, from a supplement because it simply can’t absorb it all. Your better off eating a balanced diet with no refined sugars or manufactured foods or man made carbs.

Vitamins are necessary, the ones that come from whole foods. I suggest you look up the paleo diet.

I did not say vitamins are not necessary. I said supplementation is not necessary when you are not deficient. Very few Americans are deficient because no one in America is starving. Vegetarians are deficient because they are morons.

To the OP point.... massive doses of vitamins will not cure or aid in the cure of any disease. Overall health and well being and God’s will shall determine your outcome.

You make broad false generalizations, as all liberals are given to do.

Everyone in this country is deficient because our soils have been destroyed by improper agriculture. This is especially true in the states that irrigate heavily, throwing the mineral content of the soil far out of balance.

Pharmaceuticals are unnatural and completely destructive nonsense, that can have no useful purpose in nutrition, and have broad latent toxicity that will lead to early death.

Pharmaceuticals are the proximate cause of the growing cancer epidemic that grips this country.

Quality supplements are produced from natural substances, and do not lead to weakening of the body as all pharmaceuticals do.

No “balanced diet” is even possible when GMO crops replace real vegetables, and animals are improperly slaughtered by beating them over the head rather than cutting their throats ans allowing their hearts to pump the blood out.

No argument on sugar and carbs, but the grain heavy diet that most are pushing leads to a total shutdown of proper digestion.
