Awesome series Agent131711 though I am concerned about throwing everything about supplementation aside. I agree how vitamins are sourced and made is crucial to their safety and efficacy. Unfortunately like most situations we are faced with the trust issue since we are lied to about pretty much everything.
Vitamins, hormones, and minerals can be isolated in blood and tissue tests. Actual bodily deficiencies can be detected and corrected with good quality supplementation. That said addressing poor diet, stress, toxins, and sleep issues are critical for vitamin and mineral supplementation to be effective. I'm living this reality. I take many supplements for 6 years now (instead of pharmaceuticals) to deal with multiple sclerosis (MS). That and acupuncture has been working out pretty well. This year I was able to get the guidance of a holistic health practitioner in addition to my acupuncturist. They had me stop taking some poor quality vitamins and adjusted quantities on others. The goal is to reduce or eliminate the supplements and address the root cause of MS or any other illness. It helps to have someone you can trust. Seek out holistic or functional medicine health care providers.
Depleted soil issue is self evident. If the soil wasn't nutrient depleted there wouldn't be any need for fertilizers. Look at regenerative farming where land and animal management works with nature to have soil/grasslands that are self sustaining. No need for oil based fertilizers or toxic pesticides. Thankfully this regenerative trend is being embraced by many small farmers.
For those that may need some sort of vitamin/mineral supplementation a good rule to keep in mind is "more is seldom better". It can be detrimental to over do it. Like calcium. Most people probably have calcium toxicity since dairy is promoted so much and some folks are taking calcium supplements too. This (along with magnesium deficiency) makes for higher risk of heart problems and strokes among other health problems. Also doesn't help osteoporosis which is why many people take calcium in the first place. They would be better off just taking some magnesium.
So yeah in winter (I'm in the Chicago area) I take 5000 IU of rat poison (vitamin D3) along with vitamin K2 and magnesium. That and lots of vitamin C keeps the flu at bay. In the summer the sun (when not blocked) is way better of course. No need to use toxic sun block either.
Thanks for your awesome articles. Truth is the best medicine of all.
"Vitamins, hormones, and minerals can be isolated in blood and tissue tests."
I think you are about to find out that so-called vitamins were never properly isolated and characterized from food stuffs (via the true s ientific method), therefore the tests cannot be scientifically validated and finding exactly what you are being told they are finding. "Vitamins" are a human invented idea (like viruses) and only shown to be totally newly created byproducts of chemical lab adulteration and tinkering.
Gentlemen, I shared this site with Agent a few pieces back. It looks like he is revealing his own deep dive into the isolation issue in the next part of the series.
This is translated from a German telegram group called "Next Level". A fellow researcher told me they are affiliated with Dr. Stefan Lanka (I never confirmed that). I went to do a little poking around on my own some time ago to try and find out who/when/how vitamins were "discovered"....it's REALLY DIFFICULT. You get a list of famous names, and Nobel prizes and puff pieces, but trying to find the scientific process is like trying to machete your way through a dense jungle of bullshit. That's a giant red flag to me.

"Preface
The concept of vitamins is a purely human invention. There are no published, controlled experiments in the scientific literature that confirm their natural existence. In fact, no “vitamin” has ever been directly observed in food. The only places where they are “detectable” are the results of laboratory processes (the bottom of a test tube) after a witch’s brew of poisonous chemicals is mixed, leaving a dregs of the substance.
False idea of proof
Vitamins, whose size is estimated to be around 1 to 2 nanometers, are probably 50 to 100 times smaller than the claimed SARS-CoV-2 virus, which has not been isolated and detected to date. If one were to enlarge a vitamin molecule to the size of a tennis ball, at the same scale this would correspond to a tennis ball that would be more than three times the diameter of the Earth. However, the presumed separate structures of these molecules have never been clearly isolated and clearly separated from other components.
There is no real gold standard
There is no single study that documents the clean isolation and biochemical characterization of a vitamin molecule to establish it as a pure, isolated standard for comparison. Instead, it analyzes the dregs of a byproduct of food that has been broken down by numerous harsh and toxic chemicals.
The extraction process (“isolation”) of a vitamin molecule
To isolate vitamin C from lemon juice, you start with a simple glass of juice and take it through an alchemical odyssey: first it is charged with lead, only to laboriously remove the lead later. Then you juggle with ammonia, acetic acid and a parade of solvents – from butyl to ethyl alcohol, to acetone to petroleum ether. After it has been heated, dried, reheated and dried again, the whole thing is served to the animals. If they don’t get scurvy, you’ve got it: ascorbic acid, better known as vitamin C, extracted through an impressive party of chemicals. Voila, science!"
Thanks Farmer Pete. Nice articles, but my gut still feels something isn't quite right. One thing is the timing of this subject when we are literally being murdered by pharmaceuticals, water, air, food and geoengineering. Also with Next Level mentioning the Cochrane Collaboration studies. Cochrane Collaboration caved during the so-call Covid19 pandemic with reinterpretation of a huge mask study (they don't work) saying the findings are inconclusive and another study saying most covid19 vaccines are effective (wow). They used to be the gold standard of integrity. So sad.
Hey Bruce, I would go ahead and add most supplements (and fortification programs) to your murder list. The timing is perfect, if not a bit too late.

If you read back to earlier pieces in Agent's series, you'll find out a lot more on who the players are. In addition, many of these 'private label' supp sellers are putting the same shit in their pills as the big brands. It's all sourced from chemical barrels sitting in factories in China and India. They mix it with some powder that used to be ("derived from") an Arceola cherry (so now it can be called "organic" or "natural" or something else nice sounding). Agent explains how this industry is truly the wild wild west of unregulated label language.
I so appreciate your info!!! I'd appreciate it even more if you started your own Substack. You write about things I'd like to know more about. Very helpful.
The specific "depleted soil" claim I have encountered (and believed without evidence) is that in the previous century the topsoil used to grow crops became depleted of magnesium. That, of course, is a mineral, not a "vitamin", but still available in many forms as a "supplement", and the claim would have been testable.
Whether there is evidence for it or not, I don't know, but I haven't taken any supplements in quite some time now and I am beginning to experience the benefits of not taking them.
Thanks for taking the time to go down the rabbit hole on the vitamin scam. It shouldn’t be surprising, considering all the other large scale scams being run on us, but it is nonetheless.
Your research, wit, and talent relaying the message is top shelf. Thank you.
There's a story from the 1960s - apocryphal or true, you decide - that workers at the "skimmers" in city water treatment plants (the pools where sewage solids are scraped off the top of the liquid waste) would find thousands of UNdissolved "One-A-Day" vitamin pills in the sludge. Why? Because those pills went straight thru human digestive systems without dissolving!
Years ago I was watching a true crime documentary. When the autopsy was done, they said they find "a stomach full of vitamin pills in various stages of decomposition". The documentary had nothing to do with vitamins so they never explained why but I now wonder if it is because many of the shells are literal plastic? How fast can our stomach acid break down plastic? Do they sometimes get stuck in our stomachs therefore cannot escape into the sewer?

Thanks Farmer Pete. I'll keep an open mind on this and seek out more info. In the meantime sticking with what I know works.
I so appreciate your info!!! I'd appreciate it even more if you started your own Substack. You write about things I'd like to know more about. Very helpful.
Ditto here.
Roger, I posted some info above, under Bruce's reply to my comment.
Best magnesium is topical not internal.
The specific "depleted soil" claim I have encountered (and believed without evidence) is that in the previous century the topsoil used to grow crops became depleted of magnesium. That, of course, is a mineral, not a "vitamin", but still available in many forms as a "supplement", and the claim would have been testable.
