The pertinent fact is that taking so much Vitamin C that the kidneys are unable to secrete all of it and the blood concentration actually increases is not good, and can lead to pathologies.”
....can lead to pathologies.”
pathologies? pathologies!!!!
did you ever look at the pathologies of any course of anti-cancer drug that your group, big pharma pushes?
you should blush just for repeating that lie about Vitamin D
Vitamin D is nothing pharma can patent and charge for so they say it dangerous.
plus you fail to point out all the folks with cancer on MEGA high doses of Vitamin D whose pathology cancer remits
you could never accept that because it would mean the $40,000 plus for every cancer patient’s anti-cancer drugs would go bye-bye.
So... you jump from Vitamin C right over to Vitamin D, accuse me of telling lies about Vitamin D (even though I did not mention it), and go on to invent multitudes of people whose cancer was supposedly cured with Vitamin D without a single high-quality medical reference to back up the claim?
It is odd/funny that you would insist that I provide PubMed references to support the fact that overdosing on Vitamin C can and does cause kidney disease and failure, but then, in your next post, you link to Mercola’s site right at the beginning. Mercola is a notorious quack, who makes millions selling his supplements, and who makes numerous claims that are not backed up in the scientific literature. Or he’ll highlight the one study that, for whatever reason, produced an aberrant result and try to pass it off as the only “reliable” study on the subject, completely dismissing the consistency of the studies that show something else is going on.
Your link to a known quack snake-oil salesman saves me the trouble of having to read or refute anything further in that post. There is absolutely nothing from Mercola that is worth my time.
Apparently, you don’t like the fact that “Big Pharma” makes money (that it reinvests in development of new and better drugs), but it’s perfectly okay with you for someone to make millions selling unneeded supplements. I suppose if I were dishonest like Mercola (Burzynski, Null, Oz, and the rest of those snakes), I could make a fortune selling people things they not only do not need, but which can harm them. But, unfortunately, I’m honest, and rely too much on actual evidence of beneficial effect to try to sell anything. So, I’ll just keep plugging away at my research and hoping that someday, it will translate to new therapies.
