SUPPLEMENTS: overview article
Aug 1^st, 2012 at 4:49pm

Medical literature and mass media stories make clear how constricted is our grasp of health issues and effective treatments for our ills. Advertising is ripe with promises from, eat the "right" yogurt and your gut will be happy", to fixes for some rather serious disorders.

This artricle fromCONSUMER REPORTS is a broad overview. It does give some specific ways we can be on guard and protect ourselves from the contemporary snake oil sales pitches which flood the media.

Not enough there to make me stop Batch's VitD regimen. If eating a copy of Consumer Reports provided the same relief the D3 seems to, I'd do that too.

This article from CONSUMER REPORTS is a broad overview.

It also seems chock full of the same nonsense most medical doctors (and thus drug companies) regurgitate.

There's no money in it for them, so they poo-poo it.

For the newbies who read this, Do NOT let an article in Consumer Reports (aimed at the middle of the bell curve of intelligence) dissuade you from seeking relief for this condition via the high dosages of vitamin D3 with which so many here are succeeding.

And in their defense, I will say that they parenthetically included this disclaimer: "The numbers apply to the general population, not to those who may need supplementation because of a medical condition."

See Dr. Heaney's presentation "Vitamin D: nutrient not a drug" at the following link for more info on this list of Level A RCTs:

There are likely many reasons why there are no studies on the causal relationship between CH and low 25(OH)D levels... None of them are valid with the exception of funding and ignorance of vitamin D3 importance as an essential nutrient... so we're doing the next best thing here at CH.com.

When we've at least 100 completed anti-inflammatory surveys, I'll have enough empirical evidence to start shaking the money tree and send the clue bird in for a low pass on the uninitiated.

Take care,

V/R, Batch
