Every once in a while, I see someone making a big deal about “synthetic vitamins” and how these are somehow “bad” or even part of the big Pharma conspiracy.
Sure, some drug companies also produce some either good or bad vitamin products.
Sure, sometimes these drug companies use their pathetic vitamin products in clinical trials against their more profitable drugs in order to intentionally make the nutritional intervention look bad and their more profitable drugs look great, at least by comparison.
Sure, the drug companies lie to doctors in order to sell more drugs—see excerpt below and full PDF article provided at bottom of page.
Sure, the drug companies pay-off the journal Editors with multimillion-dollar advertisements and so that biases the entire structure of the journal in favor of drugs and therefore against anything else like eating, breathing, exercising, or taking nutritional supplements—see excerpt below and full PDF article provided at bottom of page.
Sure, the drug companies want to keep everyone scared and sick so they will “need” drug management for the duration of their lives.
Sure, the drug companies in the USA buy off and bribe essentially all of the politicians so that all national policies favor Pharma profitability—no question about it.
All of those things are unfortunately and irrefutably true, and yet synthetic vitamins even if produced by a “drug company” or “Big Pharma” can still be beneficial and life-saving.

INTRACELLULAR HYPERCALCINOSIS: 20 years later, this remains a topic of major and emerging importance
Toward the end of one of my recent videos (LINKED HERE and below) I mentioned an update to my diagram explaining the clinical importance of elevated intracellular calcium. You can also see more discussion of this toward the end of this weekend’s video “
