How Misleading Big-Pharma Studies on Natural Methods Trick You

by Scott Davis | February 23, 2013 1:00 am

Pharmaceutical companies and their drug-selling allies have been misleading people for years that nutrition, vitamin, supplements and herbs do nothing but make your pee expensive, since their usefulness can’t be scientifically proven.

Never mind the fact that for hundreds of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients, this has already happened countless times.

But today we’ll talk about why the same tests and testing methods used to gauge the success or failure of synthetic drugs is useless in the study of supplemental nutrients.



Drug makers and pharmaceutical-friendly researchers have tried for years to discredit the natural health world by continually erecting smokescreens that distract consumers from the truth about supplements.
They cite a lack of scientific evidence or failed tests as the reasons that taking vitamins or other supplemental nutrients serve as nothing more than a way to create very expensive pee.

Aside from the obvious pot-calling-the-kettle-black situation, there is a fundamental reason this thinking is wrong and today we’ll talk about the truth in testing that big drug companies don’t want you to know.

Pharmaceuticals work in a completely different way than vitamins and minerals. They work basically on their own, which is different than the way nutrient-based therapies work.

You give a drug, and a certain predictable result occurs. However with vitamins and minerals, it’s not a direct thing…especially when there are multiple deficiencies.

The reason the same testing methods don’t work for both situations, and what drug-makers hope you never find out, is that vitamins and minerals need each other to work. The best example is vitamin D and Calcium. You can take a ton of extra calcium and still have osteoporosis if you are deficient in vitamin D. The body cannot metabolize calcium without it.

As well, vitamin B12 doesn’t work without adequate levels of folic acid…vitamin C won’t work without proper lipoic acid function.

Real tests that look at the effectiveness of a certain vitamin or mineral take that into account. Big Pharma tests trying to discredit the findings hope no one sees that they left out the activating acid or mineral, and they hope you don’t look into the actual study to find you have been misled.

Natural methods are always best when trying to correct disease. This page has natural solutions for all of the most common ailments facing people today, so we invite you to take and look at some:

as usual, no links to anything. Should I assume the author of this little op-ed doesn't have a clue what he is talking about because no links were supplied and he is just trying to baffle us all with bullshyte?

an empty article that makes lots of claims and backs up nothing. Exactly what I have come to expect from the OP and from those that bash "big pharma".

The reason it's called expensive pee is that people take vitamins and other supplements when they don't need to. There is no evidence that someone taking vitamin D or calcium supplements has any positive outcome when the body is not deficient. Worse still, there are real dangers involved with taking too much of some of those supplements. That's much different than taking supplements when there is a diagnosis involving deficiency.

This article is deficient in context. Though on further investigation, the deficient content may be purposeful.

The same site also has a program to help men with premature sperm delivery problems. That will cost you $49, quite a bargain considering his friends thought he should sell it for $200! :lol:
