Dems to restrict Vitamin D and other supplements in new bill

I think this is just for weight loss supplements, not vitamins. Could be wrong, and either way it's government overreach.

Chicom imported fentanyl killing tens of thousands of Americans and crickets from the dems. But vitamin supplements? Big pharma hates them so ....

Will they start capturing cows next?

Capture and kill them in a bovine holocaust, because Climate Nazis hate meat, and Covid Nazis will claim that the cows are spreading the 'virus' so they must be killed.

Attacking the food supplies to hold populations hostage in order to coerce more people to take the Mengele 'vaccine' is part of the plan

Vitamins and supplements are scams to begin with. Nobody actually needs them. If the article is true, it’s just another way to line big pharma’s pockets.

Vitamins and supplements are a huge industry. Look at any IG model and somewhere she is advertising some detox tea and/or other supplements.

There are many people selling supplements thru their branding on social media and Amazon and do well. I have a friend that is a millionaire from it.

I have read a lot about vitamins. And there is a lot written about why vitamins are a waste of money, because either our body doesn't absorb them or we don't need them because there's vitamins in our food.

But I take a multivitamins for the following reasons:

* To be certain I'm getting all the vitamins and minerals I need. How much does my specific body specifically need of each vitamin and mineral, anyway? Everyone is different size, build, has different muscle/fat ratios, bone sizes, etc. I just feel like if there's no way to specifically know exactly how much I'm depleting and at what rate, then taking a multivitamin as insurance seems like a good idea.

* When I take vitamin C and B while drinking heavily, I almost never have a hangover. Maybe it's just a placebo effect. But I have read that drinking depletes vitamins and people recommend to take vitamins while drinking to reduce the hangover. It seems to work, which tells me our bodies do in fact absorb vitamin supplements when we take them.

* Building a diet that has me eating a very diverse amount of foods regularly seems difficult, especially since I live alone and only have myself to feed. Grocery stores make you buy larger quantities than a single person can go through.

Neither vitamin D nor zinc are a scam.

If you eat right, you already get plenty of both.

For the most part, yeah. But vitamin D is one of the few supplements that most adults who aren't living in the sun belt can actually benefit from.

Blacks are really deficient in Vitamin D. Probably one of the reasons that the chicom crud is harder on them. That and the diabetes and obesity. Still haven't heard any PSAs directed at blacks. New York City just banned about 65% of the black population from bars and restaurants. Not quite sure how you can expect blacks to get a free vaccine and a vaccine ID. Pretty damn racist.

Not at all. Government and big pharma should stay out. People should be allowed to take whatever they want. Most vitamins and supplements are scams tho.

I see this possibility for what it is. Another way for big pharma to control a multi billion dollar industry and line their pockets thru buying politicians.

Don't forget the placebo effect. Look at the miracle covid drug Remdesivir.

Summary
Background
No specific antiviral drug has been proven effective for treatment of patients with severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Remdesivir (GS-5734), a nucleoside analogue prodrug, has inhibitory effects on pathogenic animal and human coronaviruses, including severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in vitro, and inhibits Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus, SARS-CoV-1, and SARS-CoV-2 replication in animal models.

Methods
We did a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicentre trial at ten hospitals in Hubei, China. Eligible patients were adults (aged ≥18 years) admitted to hospital with laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection, with an interval from symptom onset to enrolment of 12 days or less, oxygen saturation of 94% or less on room air or a ratio of arterial oxygen partial pressure to fractional inspired oxygen of 300 mm Hg or less, and radiologically confirmed pneumonia. Patients were randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio to intravenous remdesivir (200 mg on day 1 followed by 100 mg on days 2–10 in single daily infusions) or the same volume of placebo infusions for 10 days. Patients were permitted concomitant use of lopinavir–ritonavir, interferons, and corticosteroids. The primary endpoint was time to clinical improvement up to day 28, defined as the time (in days) from randomisation to the point of a decline of two levels on a six-point ordinal scale of clinical status (from 1=discharged to 6=death) or discharged alive from hospital, whichever came first. Primary analysis was done in the intention-to-treat (ITT) population and safety analysis was done in all patients who started their assigned treatment. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04257656.

Findings
Between Feb 6, 2020, and March 12, 2020, 237 patients were enrolled and randomly assigned to a treatment group (158 to remdesivir and 79 to placebo); one patient in the placebo group who withdrew after randomisation was not included in the ITT population. Remdesivir use was not associated with a difference in time to clinical improvement (hazard ratio 1·23 [95% CI 0·87–1·75]). Although not statistically significant, patients receiving remdesivir had a numerically faster time to clinical improvement than those receiving placebo among patients with symptom duration of 10 days or less (hazard ratio 1·52 [0·95–2·43]). Adverse events were reported in 102 (66%) of 155 remdesivir recipients versus 50 (64%) of 78 placebo recipients. Remdesivir was stopped early because of adverse events in 18 (12%) patients versus four (5%) patients who stopped placebo early.

Interpretation
In this study of adult patients admitted to hospital for severe COVID-19, remdesivir was not associated with statistically significant clinical benefits. However, the numerical reduction in time to clinical improvement in those treated earlier requires confirmation in larger studies.

Not if you don't live in a sunny environment

Then toss in sunscreen.

Liquid B12 for Hangovers is the Shit.

Learned that from my alcoholic HS biology teacher.

Also learned about Hot AF Korean hookers from him.

Can't help it, but I never liked the Vitamin R. Always an Olympia guy, like my dad and his beer buddies back in the 70s.

The best Yakima Valley Hops went into Grant's Scottish Ale and Galena Trail Ale in Sun Valley, which Grant's provided the hops to.

And that's not a humble brag. That's a giant fucking BRAG! Grant's and Galena were the SHIT!
