Current blood tests for vitamin D put the bottom of the normal range at 30 ng/mL (75 nmol/L). A new epidemiological study1 predicts that raising this bottom-of-normal score to 44 ng/mL (110 nmol/L) would reduce all-cause mortality around the world by 7.6 percent for African females, 17.3 percent for European females, and respectively, almost as much for men. And most notably, specific vitamin D-sensitive, disease-related mortality would drop by 20 percent. It is odd that the FDA is doing everything in its power to deny health claims for vitamin D, blocking consumers from the awareness that one simple and inexpensive vitamin could have a profound impact on their health. It is about time Americans become fed up with the FDA’s routine suppression of First Amendment rights concerning dietary supplements, while highly toxic and dangerous medications are allowed to so pervasively advertise on TV. Not only is the widespread advertising of such medications allowed, it is even funded by taxpayers’ dollars, footing the bill for Big Pharma drug sales. Raising your blood levels of vitamin D to at least 44 ng/mL (110 nmol/L) requires regular sunshine exposure and/or vitamin D supplementation. Vitamin D supplementation in the winter months in North America is mandatory. Doses need to be significantly higher than the Stone Age recommendation of 400 IU per day. Most will need doses ten times that amount, which has recently been proven safe and effective in substantial human studies. Reaching this vitamin D level will reduce your risk for obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, multiple types of cancer, and life-threatening respiratory infections. This is a public health no-brainer—the only ones refusing to recognize this are the ruling-class “public health” officials who don’t want that kind of health benefit for virtually no cost. There is a battle going on for the hearts and minds—and most importantly, health—of the American public. On one side are dietary supplements that naturally empower people to be healthier and live longer. On the other side are Big Pharma, the FDA, and Senator Durbin, who want you to have disease faster so that you endlessly need Big Pharma drugs. Dietary supplements are now under serious attack by Big Pharma and its crony allies. You must take action today to preserve your access to many dietary supplements. Refer to my article, Senator Durbin & the FDA Viciously Attack Dietary Supplements, for more information on steps you should take today. Your help is needed now more than ever. Share:
