Caroline,

To each their own, but I don't take how I feel in and about my body and health as science. There is great value in how one is feeling and responds to certain things, for sure. In fact, that's how I've been working on myself so far, but that's just not science, and can be dangerous. I'm not going to take high dosage anything without quality scientific studies. I'm also a researcher and curious by nature, so I would like to know what is happening and can happen on a cellular level. The body is complex and fascinating and science is a essential tool in our toolkit.

It is what it is, given big pharma, but I'd like a world where we have both, how we feel about our bodies and what works for us via feeling and experience, and quality scientific studies. I would love more work, for example, on very high doses of vitamin D and how that might impact a host of autoimmune issues, short term, long term, precise dosage, etc., etc. Such information would be immensely useful.

Hi David, I get enthusastic from my friends' testimony. Science and drugs had my daughter in ICU back 10 yrs ago. I've posted more on Vit C on the vits/herbs section. I'd love to report improved knees.

It does come down to what each person prefers, some prefer traditional approaches and some prefer to explore alternatives.
Nothing wrong with either way at all.

It's always good practice to study up on your own before taking Rx'd meds or vitamins & supplements..
