Dr. Yoho- this is possibly the most important article you've written. Probably 99.9% of your readers take supplements and it is horrifying indeed to find out what's really in the bottle.
Please know that I am one of your biggest fans and am eternally grateful for all the knowledge and information you share with us.
Well, Robert, some of the companies do finish off each bottle with love, but more so with competent, clean, high-quality nutrients. Thank you, NY Nanny!
Thank you for this excellent article. Thank you for the truly generous discount on professional supplements through your Fullscript account. Truly amazing in this world to find someone who shares Health so generously.
What's in the bottle? The same poisons that are in big pharma vaccines and drugs. I quit all supplements by the end of last year. Health and healing are the absence of toxic poisons that are ailing you. It is not adding more "things" for your body to contend with.
You were born in a pristine body that did not and does not need all the "extras" other than good food, clean water, some sunshine and exercise.
Again, with the splurge in the use of vaccines and drugs over the last 40 years, has the country's health really improved? The same can be said with the dramatic increases in the use of supplements. Where are the health improvements?
Good point, Deb. Actually, I analyze about 90 percent of my patients' genetics to identify where they are genetically bottlenecked. This keeps them from having optimal health.
Love this stuff...the problem I'm discovering (I'm 36 years old and lots of my friends are younger than me and in college) is getting the college folks to understand that medical journals aren't the be-all, end-all for informational resources. I have a friend studying to be a biomedical engineer who will not consider a resource valid unless it comes from a medical journal, and she is insistent that anything else is somebody pushing an agenda.
On the other side of that coin, my 65-year-old mother is insistent that statins are the be-all, end-all, and that the only way for me to be healthy is to lose weight (I'm 5-6, around 205 pounds, though only eighty pounds of me is fat, according to Withings), but I find it extremely difficult to listen to my mother since she's a smoker of comercial cigarettes (I'd have a bit more slack on her were she to grow her own tobacco, though nobody should be smoking that stuff) so how do I get both of these (my friend and my mother) to consider newer medical research as valid? I should also state that my friend hs an autoimmune condition as well, so that could have to do with it, perhaps. Basically I need to know how I can get my friend to consider other possibilities, and my mother to quit projecting onto myself and my dad.
I’m sure YOU, of all people, should be familiar with secretor vs non-secretor? I have had consistently high B12. I have yet to find an explanation as to why. I just discovered this secretor vs non-secretor possibility. I will contact you directly if you are familiar with this. By blood type is A-
Where can I get some of that? Not from the same people that sell adulterated supplements, nor the public water supplies that dump biocides in the water delivered to us in plastic pipes leaching toxins.
This is why I recommend to everyone to make what they need themselves, especially good food and clean water. Being dependent on our enemies that demonstrably poison and derange us by every means at their disposal is foolish, and it is obvious that spending our time and money making stuff ourselves is necessary, as well as increasingly profitable as the laws of physics today cause decentralization of the means of production to be the leading edge of tech advance. Tech advances because new tech is more productive, more profitable, and this makes making our own food, water, and other necessities not only necessary for our survival, but more economically productive.
I take NAC, one of the several supplements I take. I have bought the NOW brand for many of them, and it seems they are reliable. I just replaced my supply of NAC with the Nutricost brand, the brand I use for several others. Are they also satisfactory? After reading the recent article about hormone supplementation I purchased the Nutricost brand of DHEA as well.
I use several Nutricost supplements, and if they aren't reliable, I need to know! I did a quick search, and I see some good and some bad reviews. Most of the bad reviews seem to be about time to deliver and customer support but not actual product quality. I order from Amazon, and my concern is product quality. If you see something about Nutricost product quality and consistency, please let me know.
FWIW I quit Nutricost when they decided to put everything in transparent colored plastic bottles, allowing light to penetrate the bottle's contents. Dumb idea IF unintentional.
Snake oil salesmanship has existed since the Garden of Eden. While many in the alternative space are excellent, there are always the vipers.
I am very grateful to know Dr. Yoho and his deep dive providing information on low cost quality methods for improving health. I love my low cost CDS. And thanks to his last drop on it, I've reduced my frequency to what is appropriate for someone in good health. I also take DMSO. Yesterday before a tennis lesson, I brought my water bottle with DMSO. After a sip, my coach said whatever is in that water bottle, you like it - meaning my body liked it. I realized he was right. My hamstrings which were achy calmed down. And I also appreciate that Dr. Yoho will revisit subjects, like CDS or melatonin, and adjust his perspective based on new information. Working with a professional does seem key if you have a health concern. We are all different. What works for one person may not work for someone else and may, as pointed out by Dr. Tamara, be dangerous.
For some reason, I can't get women to warm up to W.O.W.W. to identify as WOWWs. 🙆♀️
And my tennis coach really did notice the difference between my drinking coconut water and the DMSO water. Initially, I dismissed his observation, but then realized that since he coached competitors, he is trained to be observant.
Great article I knew a lot of this but more knowledge is power thank you and I'm going to archive this along with the rest I have And yes I have purchased a great deal from Bulk supplements and others with verifiable coa. you've given me a few more resources and knowledge and I'm grateful.
The US Probiotic Industry’s $20 Billion Lie: Who’s Healing You, and Who’s Just Cashing In
America’s gut health market is one of the most profitable wellness categories ever created. It’s also one of the most misleading. Here’s what the science actually says.
I would also add that not everything from China is “bad”. I have a friend that I was in a business mastermind with for about five years. He runs the company new herbs, which his family founded about 75 years ago maybe longer than that I think it was his grandmother their Chinese American and he has very high-quality ingredients which of course supplement companies have to pay more for because quality is more expensive, but I would hands-down trust any ingredient that came from Wilson’s company
From another angle...I would love your research/opinion on these autoimmune biologics/DMARDs/TNF/JAKs. I have AS, RA, Lupus, Raynaud's...and have been off and on Rinvoq for a couple of years, hardly tolerable. This is a vial, mean-spirited drug. How can we know what these drugs really do in our body? You ask questions of the Rheumy, they look at you like you have 3 heads. I find the best information on forums, honest side effects, and consistent problems. But are they safe? Hard to trust our doctors anymore.

But instead MD's think nothing of writing prescriptions for drugs that have outrageous side-effects, including DEATH!

I agree, but there are exceptions. I have two MTHFR genetic SNPS, which affect the methylation of folate and B12. Supplementation is necessary

Now is a medium-grade retail brand. I like them. I have used some of their brands. Not able to comment on NutrtCost at this point

I use several Nutricost supplements, but I have yet to transparent plastic bottles.
Mine come in white opaque plastic bottles, with a tight inner seal.
Yes, and ugg. Often, a glass amber colored container is a significant clue ththat e company knows what they are doing.
A study done a couple years ago showed that supplements from Wal-Mart had the highest levels of metals.
Unsurprising

I had no idea that if you take iodine, then supplement selenium. Good to know. Thank you Doc!
Of course, I take iodine. 25 to 50 mg a day is the dose.
Great article I knew a lot of this but more knowledge is power thank you and I'm going to archive this along with the rest I have And yes I have purchased a great deal from Bulk supplements and others with verifiable coa. you've given me a few more resources and knowledge and I'm grateful.
I'm very frugal but I never buy vitamins or supplements from a dollar store.
Good Susie!

Thank you so much for shedding the light on supplements. I have a few questions.
1. Have you ever tested Cardio Miracle by any chance?
2. Have you ever tested Biooptimizers supplements, specifically Magnesium Breakthrough?
3. What about supplements from iHerb? Are they as sketchy as those from Amazon?
4. Are supplements in liquid form better than those in capsules or tablets?
I would also add that not everything from China is “bad”. I have a friend that I was in a business mastermind with for about five years. He runs the company new herbs, which his family founded about 75 years ago maybe longer than that I think it was his grandmother their Chinese American and he has very high-quality ingredients which of course supplement companies have to pay more for because quality is more expensive, but I would hands-down trust any ingredient that came from Wilson’s company

Thank you for this info. I immediately went to Fullscript, but it says it is a 15% discount, not 20%. Am I missing something?
I will go in and change it for you .
It's 20%.
Thank you for your quick reply. I have been "speaking" with a chat bot from fullscript who assures the discount given in your name/account is 15%.
I choose not to live in fear Robert. The two things I base my life on are, Everything Happens for a Reason, and God has Perfect Timing!
