Vitamin Pills 'Increase Risk Of Early Death'

I think first systematically investigated by Dr. Curt P. Richter at Johns Hopkins Med school in the 1920-30’s: early eustress leads to the inability to adapt to later distress.

The problem with that is, doctors, for the most part, don’t know jack about food supplements. In fact, most don’t even believe in them.

If the ingredients came from China to make the supplements, the claim may be valid.

30, huh ? Looks like I’ve been a runner for better than 3 1/2 years.

I was told by someone that you should only eat pure foods. Foods that had only one ingredient such as fruits, milk, vegetables, grains. Before you would eat you would smell each item and if it smelt good to you your body needed something in that item. If it smelt bad you needed to avoid it. This should change from day to day depending on what your body needed. If you only ate foods that your body needed you would be healthy.

This person also told me that if you wore a yellow shirt while taking a test it would help focus on the thoughts of other people floating in the air around the room and help find the answers.

The Europeans are trying to push CODEX down our throats. If they succeed, you'll have to go to a doctor for a prescription for vitamins available off the shelf today.

1000% correct

“If the ingredients came from China to make the supplements, the claim may be valid.”

Yep, and much of Vit. C and aspirin come from China. Next time I buy aspirin, I’ll make sure it’s Made in USA. Bufferin is USA Made (at least now), but I’ll have to check out the other brands, too.

I figured that would be your response. “It was God’s will.”

I think I’ll just say that I have quite a different view of the nature of God than you (and probably different than that of most FReepers here, though I was raised Lutheran), so we’ll just leave it at that.

Did she die when she was supposed to? How do you know?

One daily multivitamin tablet and 2 -3 fish oil capsules per day has been my routine for a while. I’m wondering how long before a report appears on the study that says it was the wrong thing to do and death is imminent because of it.

[fieldmarshaldj]

;-)

[irishtenor]

I have no problem with that. Go in God’s peace, friend.

[RepublitarianRoger2]

You too, sir. Good night.

[fieldmarshaldj]

"2 -3 fish oil capsules per day has been my routine for a while."

I'm not big on fish oil suppositories.

Great movie when if first came out. The graphics now of course would be much better. (Of course that cute little thing in the short skirt couldn’t be much improved) :>)

[Theophilus]

"Captain, my religious belief teaches me to feel as safe in battle as in bed. God has fixed the time for my death. I do not concern myself about that, but to be always ready, no matter when it may overtake me." He added, after a pause, looking me full in the face: "That is the way all men should live, and then all would be equally brave"

LOL this person may be crazy but the diet advice isn’t that bad. Right now, my nose is telling me I should be eating the steak sizzling on the frying pan and I’m not going to let any hippies or health nazis convince me over my sense of smell.

[LucyJo]

Deep...very deep.

Pure chocolate always smells divine! ; )

[irishtenor]

Grilled meat NEVER smells bad :>)

Remember: red meat won’t kill you, blue-green meat, now THAT will kill you.
