Of course they're going to say vitamin supplements don't work, they can't make any money off of them, and doctors are nothing but pharmaceutical prostitutes anyway.
Yea, they're not quick to warn you of the many dangers of the plethora of poison pills they prescribe, but oh, those vitamin supplements....Unbelievable.

Anyways, people, I wasn't talking about treating severe diseases, I was talking about supplementing nutrition. People in the U.S.A. eat like sh--, there aren't any medicines that will help with nutrition, they treat diseases after the fact

You would realize the limitation of vitamin supplements if you took courses in biochemistry, physiology and pharmacology as doctors do. With vitamins, small amounts are essential, more is unnecessary and sometimes potentially harmful. With a good diet, you don't need supplements.
It's unfortunate you have such a low opinion of members of the medical profession. What do you think of the hucksters who play into this, selling their snake oils in their infomercials?

What I've been told is that vitamins pass through your body quickly and you basically just pee them out. Food with vitamins goes through a slow digestion process, giving the vitamins chance to be absorbed in your system.
You may want to try Vituma. It's a prescription multivitamin that is time released and passes slowly through your body. It's $1400 for a 30 day supply. Ask your doctor or pharmacist (LOL) :)

The next time you have red hot case of VD, spead a little aloe on it hippy. Those antibiotics that the whores are pushing are just part of a giant government conspiracy to keep your vitamin gurus down.
