B12 is a Myth's avatar

Such an important topic! - Synthetic supplements being sold for "vitamin deficiencies" are one of the biggest lies ever told by the pharmaceutical companies who patent and manufacture them. It all involves animal experiments that are meaningless to humans and poison ingredients not required to be listed on the bottle... If you're particularly interested in Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D, there is a new book "The Enigma of Vitamin B12: Nature's Only Mistake"? out June 1. Professional advance reviews are all awarding it 5 stars.

Based on Agent131711's articles on vitamins, my wife and I stopped taking multi-vitamins and vitamin D.

I still must confess that I am not 100% comfortable doing so, but onward I go, seeking the truth of the matter.

Yesterday I saw a Dr. Berg Youtube video on plantar fasciitis; and surprisingly (to me), he recommended magnesium supplements for this, and then added: When you take magnesium, then you need to take vitamin-D supplements also, because the magnesium will deplete the vit-D, and vice-versa.

I thought, so if Vit-D is fake. Are the magnesium supplements fake too? Is all of this fake? Taking these 2 supplements will actually have zero effect on the plantar fasciitis?

Are there *any* NON-vitamin supplements that are actually helpful?

Do certain mushrooms reduced to a powder really help cognition?

Does "saw palmetto extract" powder really help with an enlarged prostate?

How about "D-Mannose" for UTIs? Many swear by it. Is it fake too? Placebo effect then?

I guess I am a bit overwhelmed with possible questions, trying to sort all of this out.

Very, very interesting though.

I like to know the truth about things, no matter where it might lead.

Thanks for this latest article, as I discern, discern.
