A deep dive into what Synthetic Vitamins actually are. A shocking look at Vitamin Industry corruption and fake tests leading to us micro-dosing ourselves with poisons in the name of "health".
Thank you for another mind blowing deep dive. I’ve been getting vitD3 from Mercola. I just called them and canceled my order. Told them that they were selling rat poison and I was highly disappointed that they hadn’t done their due diligence!
Excellent post. Thanks for all your hard work on this. I have restacked it because everyone who values their health needs to read this.
I am now going to eat more mushrooms. My brother forages for them and puts them in his omelette made from eggs from the ducks he raises. I didn't realize my brother is such a smart cookie!
excellent read.. I know what I am doing after work. You're right going thru ALL my vitamins. SHIT :( and I thought I was being healthy. ha .Fucking lies on top of lies.
Great research and write up! Now I have to quit taking vitamin D and recommending it to others. Gotta get ready to eat some humble pie. I had a client tell me a couple months ago that it was rat poison and I told her it was Big Pharma disinfo, or why else the effectiveness in the studies? Plus I hadn't seen any of this research.......
I also thought it was disinformation to get us to get shots and prescriptions. You have to admit, it was a diabolically brilliant scheme. "Vitamins" are the one product both sides of the aisle and everyone in between believes are healthy! I can't think of any other product that everyone, across the world, agrees on.
......on second thought, I'm back on vitamin D after watching Dr Lee Merritt's analysis. Not stirring up trouble, just pointing it out so you can decide for yourself with more information.
Funny you should mention that. I had the identical question about the threat. I did some digging and it turns out, that threat has surfaced 4 times in the past 15 years. Each time it skyrocketed sales. To make matters crazier, the organization they claim is going to "take away the vitamins" is actually part of the United Nations, and they happen to write the guidelines requiring chemical vitamins (fortification) to be dumped into our food supply. No way in hell they will ever take away poison supplements.
gosh but start looking at ALL the bottles...just the "other ingredients " alone are all doses of crap...take enough at one time and what the heck do u end up with ? A gut full of toxins
Yep. I referred only to the Vit D-3 ("as cholecalciferol"), but all synthetic vitamin supplements went into the trash. What remains are "natural" supplements like pau d'arco and quercetin, which I haven't taken in a while (or ever regularly). Anything I consider going back to (unlikely) will get close scrutiny first. In general I'm now holding in serious question the "common sense" narrative that we can no longer get all needed nutrients from natural food because of depleted topsoil blah blah blah. Plus, of course, the narrative that "hardly anyone gets enough vitamin d naturally" etc. I've even begun to dig into the origins of Vitamin D "discovery" and isolation to see how the hell this all came to be.
I have been doing the same. It seems that these 'vitamins' have not been isolated and it doesn't really matter to these companies because they are not regulated and no one has done much digging into them.
I don't believe the depleted soil narrative anymore. I'm doing to refocus my brain on continuing to eat well and not worry about any supplements again. I still cannot believe they are all synthetic. Unbelievable!
To clarify, the general fact of soil depletion from mono cultures is very plausible to me. The heavy use of synthetic fertilizers seems proof enough of that.
But automatically linking that to "therefore, one must supplement..." - uh-uh, no thanks. I'll follow the path of locally grown organic foods, etc, thank you very much.
I have a few comments. 1. Why were you taking the powdered form? I take a gel cap with 4 "other" ingredients: flaxseed oil, gelatin, glycerin, purified water. Since I bumped up my dosage almost 4 years ago I haven't had ONE viral infection, cold, etc. Never had covid nor the shot and I worked home care as a nurse seeing covid positive patients. 2. Vitamin D made in your body is a HORMONE...look it up. 3. If vitamins and supplements are so bad and dangerous why is the FDA constantly trying to do away with them/get them "approved" by them? After the covid fiasco I would think they'd be gung ho to keep crap on the market if it poisons us or kills us. I'm not sure I totally agree with your conclusions.
This is the start of a fantastic series, thank you, I've recommended the article quite a lot.
I do have one quibble though and it's a matter of messaging... I've decided that saying d3 is rat poison just isn't an effective statement. It's too easy to equivocate. Ex grapes are cat poison! Chocolate is dog poison!
Rats can also be poisoned with cornmeal and baking soda.
There's also the issue that society is quite comfortable with everything being poisonous. Paracelsus and his famous dictum that the dose makes the poison has become unquestioned scripture. I find myself having to explain to people that water is not toxic as they love to bring up "water intoxication" with this topic.
This is so unbelievable! I have been looking into WHY my cholesterol has gone up since mid-2020. It is directly linked to the increase in Vitamin D supplements. I don't think I would have ever found out. I was SO mad after I read this article and then went on to read your other vitamin posts. BUT, after the last 4 years, how could we NOT think we were being poisoned by vitamins. I never gave it a thought that these vitamins could by SYNTHETIC! OMG!! I feel like such a dope! I'm going to have to get rid of hundred of $$$ of vitamins. I think you saved my life!! I did find one vitamin company that may not be synthetic. Standard Process's vitamins is more like a 'food' than a supplement.https://www.standardprocess.com/ My chiropractor has recommended them. Unfortunately, those are not the predominant vitamins in my closet.
I just became your newest subscriber! Please keep researching all this crap! <3
Very interesting and thought-provoking. I applaud your tenacious research!
However, I wonder if the criticism that you can't find a photo of vitamin D is really such a big deal. Chemists generally use well-established tests to determine the content of unknown substances, and are able to use computer modeling to determine the 3D shape and configuration of the atoms constituting the molecules of the substances being studied. In other words, chemists generally do not use visual inspection to identify chemicals, whether organic or inorganic (although clues like color, odor, solubility etc etc are useful if not determinative).
Also, the discussion of Vitamin D being a rat poison seems a bit skewed. I recommend the Wikipedia article "Rodenticide", under the section "Hypercalcemia (vitamin D overdose)", which explains how cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) and ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) are used as rodenticides. It is widely reported (but perhaps not widely enough) that these forms of vitamin D are dangerous when taken in excess, as they affect the body's uptake of calcium, and overdosing builds up calcium more rapidly than can be absorbed by the bones (where we want it to go) and ends up being deposited elsewhere (such a in the blood vessels, kidneys, etc.). This risk is offset by vitamin K2, which promotes bone uptake of calcium and reduces calcification of soft tissues. Both vitamins are needed for the body to properly function, and both are available without resorting to supplement pills (which, as you pointed out, contain other additives that are not necessarily beneficial to the body, but rather only to e.g. shelf life).
this old brain needs some clarification...Did Dr Cowan do GOOD or did I also hear that he PUSHED HI DOSE D FOR "COVID"? did I hear something mistakenly?

LIFE EXTENSION will be hearing from me!

Another one bites the dust!

You are not stirring up trouble. You are welcome here. I responded to Merritt's incorrect claims: https://chemtrails.substack.com/p/dr-lee-merritt-is-lying-about-me
But if D is helping you, then by all means, you should take it and I support whatever decision you make.
Thank you for this.
I was taking a supplement labeled as “vegan friendly” d3 made from lichen.
Now I know even that is a scam. 🫤
Just dumped all the bottles of rat poison et al into the trash. Excellent work.
PS: Now I wonder. Was the "threat" about 10 years ago to pull vitamins from OTC purchase a psyop to INCREASE interest and consumption?
Funny you should mention that. I had the identical question about the threat. I did some digging and it turns out, that threat has surfaced 4 times in the past 15 years.

Reminds me of how fake shootings make gun sales explode.

this old brain needs some clarification...Did Dr Cowan do GOOD or did I also hear that he PUSHED HI DOSE D FOR "COVID"? did I hear something mistakenly?
Is there ANY form of D ok to take...living in the dark north what to do??
Thank you from the bottom of my heart...I think you may have saved my life...
🤯🤯🤯. Thank you. Any insight on the dessicated grass fed beef organ supplements?
