Shellack, plastics, heavy metals, petroleum products, and solvents. All of these are used in the vast majority of the supplements North Americans are buying. Like 99% of them. And what’s the “nutrient” in your actual supplement? You probably won’t believe the following list. But I’m going to tell you; please feel free to fact-check me:
Is there a clean and effective thyroid supplement out there??? In the past I've tried prescription Naturthroid, Armour, Levo, and compounded for Hashi's. The first two became unavailable, so I effectively switched to a non-prescription supplement called Thyro8, which rebranded to Balance+ by Harmonia Wellness. However, it went off the market, as well. (Dang! I did better on this than prescriptions.) I recently tried ThyrAid supplement, but had more inflammation on it. I am currently taking a gummie supplement from Fling called Thyroid Power, but it has too much sugar in it! I won't take any response as medical advice.
A patient sent this to me. I was involved in Functional Medicine before it was cool. For most FM docs, they just exchanged the word "Alternative" to "Functional". It's like putting lipstick on a pig. Don't even get me started on FM "certification". They more like a diagnosis du jour course put on by influencers.
It's funny you mention Standard Process. Chiro colleges received a large $$$,$$$,$$$ if they only promote SP products. It is hilarious that SP promotes their glandular products. These glandular products are miracle products. How can a gland from a dead (organic, grass fed, free range) cow or pig transmogrify into living human replacement to replace glands in the human body is miraculous.
FM docs jump from lab company to lab company, i.e. adrenal and hormone testing, claiming the test are erroneous. The labs are CLIA certified. It's NOT the lab company or the results. It is the FM analysis. This results in the FM jumping from supplement company to supplement company for all the reasons stated above. Botton line is - If the diagnosis is in error - the treatment is in error.
“Medicine has suffered from "fads" from time immemorial."
"The authority of some great leader or teacher is enough to bolster up an error for a generation or more. In fact, much that is today taught is merely the dictum of some one who has never taken the pains to investigate the truth.”

I’m a firm believer in vitamins and minerals- I just don’t want to take toxic ones. I bought some vitamin C at a big box store that actually had propylene glycol on the label. Now I’m going to start growing my own herbs and I hope to get a garden going soon.
Beta glucan from Better Way Health. Thoughts on this please?

I would love to hear about garden of life products. Thanks!
Robyn, you’re right: I’m ANGRY, but only because I totally believe you.
I started talking supplements because I learned foods were devoid of nutrients.
So the answer..
we all need to become regenerative farmers?
Which reminds me: where do the nutrients come from in your hydroponic towers?
Ask the best wishes!
Thank you for being brave enough to look at the truth on all sides, and willing to share it.

Should be an interesting book…

of course, no rational individual should have a problem with this. By now everyone should know that virtually everything is a scam and a lie.
Well this article sure is a hard pill to swallow. 😳
Looking forward to the research❣️
