True, some of us need longer measuring tapes.

I don't get it. Ozy can't stand up for himself and needs Muta to back him up over vitamins? I must be missing something here.

I don't even know who Ozy is. He could be an extremely right-wing conservative goblin creature getting high off cracker jacks for all I know. Looked like people were piling on him unfairly though. There seems to be many that don't like that he attributes being healthy to taking vitamins.... which is just weird.

Requoted for truth. Not to mention 30 years GP likely has info a decade too old.

You might want to warn AHS then, as 30-year doctors are teaching med school students.

That said, I guarantee you 9 times out of 10 med school students want to be taught be experienced practitioners. New age medicine is great to have, but students want tried and true methods first. I know this because I am dating a resident who recently graduated and know many others going into various specialties.

So tried and tested methods like vital amines from natural food, over new age medicine like vitamins and supplements... right?

Anyhow, I just read the first article. The same scientist/doctor who crusades for vaccines now is trying to discredit vitamins? Makes sense I guess. Who needs vitamins when their immune systems are already finely tuned and fully vaccinated machines?

Ozy - maybe you can tell me this. 2 different brand of vitamines/supplaments, they have the exact same ingrediants and same % of supplaments/vitamines, etc. Essentially, same data.

Why the difference in price?

Not really. New age medicine confuses / misleads the general public, generally does not do what it claims to (and then fails when put up against a proper double-blind trial), and is typically backed by awful anecdotes like "[Insert New Age Medicine Here] have prevented me from having a cold or flu for damn near three straight years".

When 'new age' or 'alternative' medicine are tested and found to have a solid basis in evidence for their claims, they aren't 'new age' or 'alternative' anymore... they're just called 'medicine'.

Poorly executed then. It really wasn't that funny. My response was more clever, but I think you missed that...

This thread needs more Vitamin B. More happiness!

Oxytocin would be more effective.
