Any foods taken with western medicine/drug can be dangerous. Take for example, certain heart medicines can actually interact with omega 3 oil and garlic to bring on other ailments. And yet it isn't the drug that is deemed dangerous but the food.

The safest way is to just cut out all foods! Starve yourself while you're on any western medicine! (Sarcasm intended!)

If so-called doctors would include advice to patients on foods that help to reduce blood pressure or thin blood, and the patients undertook to eat such foods, think what a saving could be made on drugs! A saving for patients, a saving for medical insurers, a saving for government subsidies to patients, and most likely a saving of lives.

Yeah. Every time I hear stuff about "the dangers of supplements" and their reactions to drugs I want to pull myself baldheaded. Big pharma needs to be reigned in but big government won't see it. They care about profits, not the American people. I'll take the supplements for as long as I can but I will never voluntarily submit to drugs. And you can take that to the bank.

Pharma -- take a walk! I'll stick with the Naturals!

Why don't we just ban all nutritious foods - they may all react with pharmaceutical drugs! Even worse, they may mean that we don't need the drugs in the first place, causing Pharma to lose income.

Since Drugs have side effects that have nothing to do with taking care of my condition, I will stick with the Supplements, that address my condition, that may take longer, but are not toxic and with no side effects, as much as possible.

Be well and happy,

the big drug companies are the equivalant of the mafia...not only are they guilty of intimidation and smear campaigns against would-be competitors in the alternative health movement, plus false advertising, "cooking" results of their "scientific" studies, etc., but of extortion and racketeering, no less. this establishment drug cartel, courtesy of government protectionism. constitutes possibly the biggest and most profiltable scam in the history of humanity, and increasingly seems to have evil results on a magnitude second only to the effects of warfare.

I am fortunate that the supplements that I take have stopped me going to the doctor and so I don't take any drugs. My philosophy - try a natural solution before heading to the doctor.

It amazes me to hear all these negative comments about natural medicine, did they forget that all Big-Pharma is doing is trying to make a copy of the real McCoy to begin with, and add who knows what to the formula to keep us with side effects, so we may take other drug, and more side effects to take another, it is obvious that if our levels of vitamin D are at optimal we do not need to overdo with more, therefore we will just balance our intake to keep it at such, any thing in excess is bad when it comes to natural, but with synthetic drugs, even in small amounts will send your liver to over react, but with natural even at high levels some of the symptoms may be a bit of diarrhea and is a sign for us to lower the intake, while prescription drugs most of them they want to take over and send you in down spiral syndrome.

Drug companies ARE the Mafia, they systematically discredit natural cures, while not accepting the responsibility for all the deaths caused by statin drugs just to mention one, any time there is a possible cancer cure (inexpensive) they go out of their way to shut it down, not support it. Why are these places trashed and people put in jail. Has there been any known arrests made? There are natural cancer cures that have a much better success ration than chemo and radiation, but none are allowed publicity. Yet the Gov't seems powerless to stop Drug Companies for nothing short of crimimal activities. Are they themselves benefiting from the profits. Just seems all so counterproductive to progress!!!!

iI read about WARFARIN and I am on it for life. I tried to get off it and in 3 mo. I was in the hospital with blood clots in my lungs. I was put back on WARFARIN again . Then later we tried to get off again but in 3 mo. I was back in the hospital again with blood clots in my lungs . Later we tried to get off again but 6 mo aging I was back in the hoslital with blood clots again. This time the Dr. told me now your on for life. They claim through tests I inherit the genes. Is there any way I could get off safly?

Recently SB510 was passed by Congress. I understand from some people that this will but the supplement industry on a world standard and subject to big pharma as even vitamin C will require a prescription as it does now in Germany. Could you please clarify what this bill does and if it does what I have heard, why haven't the leaders in the supplement industry taken issue with the situation?

I've dropped all mainstream doctors also. Have had horrifying treatments and they about killed me more than twice. I am working hard on nutrition plus supplements after thorough research on every one of them specifically noting possible side effects. Am fed up with all drug companies and their filthy lies and cover-ups. Am watching several friends who are in high risk treatment that is totally unnecessary, but they dutifully obey their doctors, and no matter what symptoms they have they won't change them or stand up for themselves. It's very, very sad, and I can't do anything about it.
All I can hope for is for the drugs to hit the newspapers time and time again with all the side effects, because people don't even read the paper they bring home with each prescription or, if they read it at all, they never seem to consider the fact they might be included in the bad results. I'm doing just fine and see no reason why it won't continue. I'm sure in better shape than most of my friends, and they are mostly 15-20 years younger than I am.

I have had some bad experiences with drug side effects. I have been doing research on supplements and have managed to get off all but two medications for high bllod pressure. I have reversed some of my medical problems. so yes it can be done but must do resrarch.
