| It is no more complex than saying scurvy is a result of vitamin C deficiency, or rickets is a result of vitamin D deficiency.
Many diseases automatically appear as a result of a deficiency in one or more nutrients, and osteoporosis, prostate cancer and breast cancer are all precipitated by a lack of vibrational nutrition, or natural sunlight. Even vitamin D is not the entire answer to this. |

 A lot of people will go out and buy a supplement with just vitamin A in it, for instance. vitamin A needs zinc in order to work well. What happens is people start buying three, four or five supplement bottles trying to put together a good profile of nutrients for their pet. We have all that in the mega pet daily. So, all we recommend adding to the mega pet daily is vitamin C. There is only 250 milligrams in the mega daily, which is enough to make the other minerals work, but you need 1,000 to 4,000 milligrams a day, depending on the size of the animal. |

 But then you have economically challenged families that are not going to be able to afford the vitamin D, or vitamin B, or minerals and so on. They’re going to be eating food that's made without these vitamins because it's cheaper.
At such a point, you'll have a big company, the futuristic Monsanto if you will, saying, "If you want to be healthy, you've got to pay up." The upshot of all this is that big business is going to be telling humanity that it doesn't have the right to be healthy unless it pays for it.
This situation will stand as a heinous violation of human rights and nature. |

 A deficiency in a single nutrient can lead to numerous diseases that all get diagnosed and treated as if they had separate causes. Take vitamin D, for example. A lack of vitamin D renders the body unable to absorb calcium. Without adequate calcium, the heart has trouble functioning correctly, and the nervous system may also suffer. A person deficient in vitamin D may experience heart disease, prostate cancer, breast cancer, osteoporosis, pancreatic cancer, gum disease, schizophrenia and many other conditions all stemming from a lack of this single nutrient. |

 Other nutrients such as fat and protein, often lacking in the diets of malnourished children, are needed in order to absorb vitamin A. David Schubert points out that "a GM plant making vitamin A precursor, such as 'golden rice,' might also produce retinoic acid derivatives." He says these might result in "direct toxicity or abnormal embryonic development."34 In addition, one gene inserted into the rice comes from daffodils. It is possible that it will also transfer known allergens from the flower. |

 Most people who want a vitamin say, "Would you make me a vitamin? I want it to cost this much," and they sell it to price points. I do not do that. I actually select the raw materials. I know all the manufacturers and all the raw material suppliers pretty much. I get certificates of analysis. I look at them. What is it? What is in it? How pure is it? That's the first thing.
Second, I only work with people who I trust. I work with a handful of people who have known me for years and years, and they do it that way. A few times, they goofed up and they got it thrown back at them. |

 Companies that sell vitamin C, for example, cannot claim vitamin C cures scurvy without being threatened, raided at gunpoint and having their inventory confiscated by the Food and Drug Administration. Also notable: Cherry growers and cherry product manufacturers have been threatened and intimidated by the FDA over simply linking to scientific articles published in peer-reviewed medical journals which describe the health benefits of natural phytochemicals found in cherries. |

 Doctors still don't recognize the important role of vitamin D in children's health, and they prescribe drugs to treat the symptoms of disease rather than recommending vitamin D (which would correct the underlying problems and eliminate the need for pharmaceuticals).

 For example, vitamin C or magnesium cannot be patented. However, a foreign substance can be patented. Big Pharma's job is to maximize profits for its shareholders. It is much more profitable to promote a patented product than it is to promote a natural product. Remember, anyone can manufacture and promote vitamin C. Only the company that holds the patent to a foreign substance such as Provera?can manufacture and promote it.
PROVERA?
Provera?is the synthetic version of the hormone progesterone. Provera? |

| Mike: That is an excellent point that you mentioned: It is typical for a mainstream vitamin manufacturer to first have in their mind the price point. They have to make a bottle for $5 so they can sell it at wholesale for $15, so they can go into the retail channel and sell it retail for $35. There is less than $5 worth of raw material in a bottle that costs $35 at retail.
Obviously, they have to make many choices to keep those costs down. The synthetic forms of B vitamins, the non-coenzyme forms, or the cheapest minerals they can find and so on. |

 I know I've recommended products in the past made with that synthetic form of vitamin B-12, but I've learned more since then and I no longer recommend any supplements made with cyanocobalamin. (Get products like Ola Loa instead, at www.DrinkYourVitamins.com )
Who I'm about to recommend
By the way, I'm about to make big recommendations for some companies I'm seriously impressed with. These companies are:
Dragon Herbs (www.DragonHerbs.com)
Incredibly high-quality Chinese Medicine herbs. Check out their eucommia bark tincture.
Mushroom Science (www.MushroomScience.com)

 The implied message in many news reports is that if vitamin E causes an increased risk in death, then all antioxidant supplements must be dangerous to your health. This is an inexcusable distortion of science that will only serve to worsen the health of people reading these articles by scaring them away from nutritional supplements that literally thousands of clinical studies have proven offer protection against chronic disease including cancer, heart disease, strokes, neurological disorders, diabetes, osteoporosis, arthritis, and many other common diseases. |

 By scaring consumers away from vitamin E, they can convince people to take high-profit pharmaceuticals instead of more affordable nutritional supplements. And while nutritional supplements like ephedra get banned for being associated with a few dozen overdose deaths, blockbuster prescription drugs like Vioxx, which are suspected of contributing to more than 27,000 heart attacks, remain perfectly legal and FDA-approved. There's little hope that the trend will reverse, either. |

| Canola: Although the vitamin A (carotene) content of canola seeds was successfully increased (50-fold) with the addition of a bacterial gene, there was an unexpected and significant decrease in vitamin E (tocopherol). The fatty acid composition was significantly altered and chlorophyll levels were also reduced.137

| Several groups have promoted the use of gardens in developing nations and the vitamin Angel Alliance gives at risk children high potency vitamin A tablets, strong enough so that only two are required per year to prevent blindness. At a cost of only $.05 per tablet, only $25,000 is needed to prevent 500,000 children from going blind per year.37 Contrast this with golden rice, which has cost more than $100 million dollars so far and is not yet ready. |

The vast majority of women in the United States remain chronically vitamin D deficient, putting their bodies in a state of accelerated tumor growth.

Now here's the most hilarious part about this whole story. The researchers involved in this study claimed that since antidepressants relieve "the symptoms of depression," they may actually help improve bone density!
