What we do here, is enable healing. Multivitamins have always been on the chopping block however.

This article does not state the NIH position that people over 50 should take supplements of B12.

So many of our OTC products now are drugs that were previously on RX only. Many of these actually deplete vitamins and minerals.

No mention of course of that in this article.

Doctors will fixate on this and turn around and prescribe statins to you which are cellular poisons! Or Cipro or Levaquin...when less toxic antibiotics could possibly work instead.

Unfortunately some us had to learn this the hard way. ZOCOR

Hey, for what it's worth, my new MS doctor told me to take 4,000 IU of vitamin D every day. So maybe some doctors are open-minded about vitamins. Not enough of them, but maybe some.

Most doctors I've had/seen have suggested this vitamin or that, depending on what they've most recently read. I think it probably goes in waves, like much of the other "advice" they expound. ;)
