I Agree With W W D, Unequivocal Supportive Hard Evidence. it Has Been my Experience, that Most of These Products Avoid Evaluation.

Well, FDA approved double-blind studies that were reproducible would satisfy me. Studies-no matter how many-that were designed, carried out, and concluded with poor methods-or with bias-don’t count. Even the ones you see on TV will more than likely state-in very small print-not evaluated by the FDA.

We’re a skeptical lot. If there really were excellent, reproducible double-blind studies we’d go with them, but the positive studies have huge flaws and are counterbalanced by negative studies. And polls, surveys, and personal experience are really untrustworthy. I’m not huge on using drugs when they aren’t likely to work, either. And I’d suggest that Americans are now oversold on a plethora of often conflicting information from people trying to sell their own "cures" when they’d be better off with simple basic diet and exercise information without all the one-upsmanship. Left to itself the human body performs mighty well.

You have lied, pure and simple. There is no valid study that shows that nutrition alone cures disease. MANY studies prove the value of excellent nutrition in the maintenance of disease resistance, but not one – NOT A SINGLE ONE – indicates that nutritional supplements are necessary except in certain isolated cases such as a specific dietary deficiency – like a deficit in iodine, which can result in a condition known as goiter, or a deficit in vitamin D, which can result in a condition known as ricketts. Absent these specific conditions, which YOU cannot diagnose, vitamin supplements are a waste of money and can even be perilous. So don’t go around making crap up just because you don’t know the sciences of pharmacy and nutrition!

What type of supplements are you talking about? I want to see the polls, surveys, and double-blind studies that you refer to. Being a science guy, I haven’t heard of this, and want to increase my knowledge.

What will it take for doctors to recognize,the value of taking a pharmaceutical grade nutritional supplement?
Polls, surveys, double-blind studies, and personal experience have shown me that with consistent intake of nutritional supplements that work on a cellular level, will help battle (not cure) practically every medical problem a person could come up against. It just baffles me that most medical doctors won’t acknowledge or prescribe this type of treatment, nor is it covered by insurance. I just can’t believe that those that take the Hypocratic Oath would rather be in the pockets of the drug companies and cover up disease rather than work on the side of prevention; especially insurance companies.
