Please don’t believe this video completely. The food and drug administration doesn’t have people that are constantly monitoring the pharmaceutical companies. The FDA has a revolving door where people work for the FDA for a short time and then they start working for the pharmaceutical company. You have lots and lots of issues with medicine that isn’t really talked about as much. There are drug overdoses on properly prescribed medicine and let’s not forget what Miri did. Whole foods, supplements, and not synthetic. Supplements are actually really good for you. The part where he talks about cancer getting worse on supplements is not entirely truthful because he leaves out the fact that it was the synthetic supplement that did this and not the whole food ones.

My grandfather had the first vitamin and health food store in Middle Tennessee. He was in business for 42 years. It was called Len Rossi Health Foods. He always did a lot of research on the vitamins he bought and sold and made sure they were top-notch quality. He had 4 stores at one point, but through the years, everyone started selling vitamins. Wal Mart, grocery stores, even gas stations, and it really hurt his business towards the end. He only had 1 store but worked until he was 90 and passed 2 years ago. He knew the vitamins the big box stores were selling then were all really crappy quality, and he preached quality in his store. He was also smart enough not to tell people that you can replace medicines with these supplements. He would say it's a compliment to whatever else you have to take medically.

Well, we have to be careful of saying the word "safe". Those certifications mean that the products have been tested to at least be what the label on the bottle says it is and are not contaminated with other potentially toxic substances or prescription meds. The certification does not mean a supplement either does what it says it does or that it won't cause harm itself. So a supplement with the certifications is safer than a supplement without the certification, but it doesn't mean it's completely safe.

14:58 correction: Vitamins - by definition - are things our bodies need but cannot produce or at least cannot synthesize in sufficient quantity and therefore MUST be consumed as/in foods. There are 13 vitamins for humans, 11 of which we cannot produce at all. We can produce Vitamin D and Vitamin B3 (Niacin) from certain building blocks that we must eat, but we still cannot produce enough to not need to also eat it. That’s literally the definition of a vitamin. So you shouldn’t say “some people can’t produce enough of certain vitamins” because none of us can. Deficiencies rather come from this: Some of us either don’t consume enough of certain vitamins, or we have some malabsorption issues or a higher need than normal (for example folic acid in pregnancy)

It’s actually one-sided. Why doesn’t he mention that the supplement that was banned was an amino acid that was very similar to Prozac. The supplement was banned because it did kill people, but it was due to bad bacteria that was in those supplements and not the supplement itself. The bacteria was at fault, but it was still banned, and then lots of advertising came out for Prozac. Now we get more interesting is that it was banned for 16 years, which was the time of the patent for Prozac, and once the patent for Prozac was done this supplement was allowed to be sold again. Not to mention that the FDA has been known when you dig deeper to not fully and properly review medication, and the fact that food and drug administration people have a revolving door and work for the pharmaceutical companies as well which is a huge conflict of interest and we wouldn’t accept it in any other field. Also, the supplements that made cancer worse or synthetic and not whole foods supplements where Whole Foods supplements could have helped tremendously most likely. Obviously, cancer is a bit more complex, but we never cross check genetically modified foods, pesticides, processed foods, and all of that to see how it affects house. We investigate them individually , but we consume them together And what should be balanced reporting here would be to discuss how many overdoses occur with properly prescribed medicine, and how many people die from medication. Let’s look at how Merk had a medication where they allowed it to be sold to the public because of the amount of death, and harm it would caused would not affect their profit so this company decided that it was OK to solve it because they can pay off their deaths and still be very profitable. Until someone force the situation we would’ve been told that it has to do with something else and not the medication itself. I think we’ve been conditioned to believe that medicine is perfect and once you start researching the FDA and the amount of recalls and deaths and harm medicine causes, you’ll see that medicine might actually be worse

I agree, but his point is still one-sided. He mentions how the FDA checks everything out but he doesn’t say that the people in the FDA have short term and then go work for the pharmaceutical companies and helping them approve things. A huge conflict of interest. Especially since medicine, even one prescribed properly has lots and lots of negative like overdose and things of that nature. Look at the pharmaceutical reps who are pushing the doctors to sell more drugs, and the problem that caused us. The supplements that caused cancer to get worse by the way, or the sympathetic ones in that study and not the proper whole ones. If you’re going to discuss illnesses and deaths, you need to also talk about medicine which also causes illnesses - except with medication you have big companies with lots of money that silence us. Why not mention the study of a medicine where the pharmaceutical company hid information purposely knowing that this medication would cause death and worsen health, and they decided to move forward with it, because paying out for those that was still not high enough compared to the profits they would make. I think that we’ve been conditioned to think that there is absolutely no corruption and no issues in the medical field and we ignore things like how many medicines get pulled off of shelves, and how many medicines have been recalled for so many reasons. One last thing here is the fact that he talks about an amino acid that killed people which had nothing to do with the amino acid, but it actually had to do with a bad batch of bacteria that was in it. What should be included is that Prozac was then advertised like crazy Because it essentially did the same thing as the supplement. Prozac’s license and patent had about 16 years left on it, and they banned the supplement for that long. Once the patent was up, this supplement was allowed to be sold again. Does this sound like a health concern or does this sound like a business move?

Vitamin D deficiency is actually pretty prevalent, specially if you live in a cold climate and don't get a lot of sun. Some stats below. Pretty much the only supplement I take since it really is essential for you and fight off infections. United States, 47% of African American infants and 56% of Caucasian infants have vitamin D deficiency, while over 90% of infants in Iran, Turkey, and India have vitamin D deficiency. In the adult population, 35% of adults in the United States are vitamin D deficient whereas over 80% of adults in Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh are Vitamin D deficient. In the United States, 61% of the elderly population is vitamin D deficient whereas 90% in Turkey, 96% in India, 72% in Pakistan, and 67% in Iran were vitamin D

Hey Johnny, i'm a fan from germany and i just wanted to say something about Kratom. Is agree that it's probably better for people who aren't addicted to opioids to not take it. But i see huge potential (at least in the US) for using it as a Substitute for Heroin or Fentanyl. I was addicted to heroin for two years and i got off it with the help of methadone and buprenorphine, which is made really easily available for addicts here in germany. But inf i were living in the US at that time, i coulda never afforded to get treated with substitutes and i'd be dead for SURE. It's really sad that the US government doesnt help it's addicts properly, i literally can't imagine how hard it must be to get clean in the US. My heart goes out to all of you ❤

As someone who's used supplements before, I'll let people know: 99% of people don't need supplements. In fact, most vitamins you get can come in the form of actual healthy good food. Most supplements and vitamins are either or a combination of: combined with high fructose corn syrup like most vitamin gummies use inferior but cheap ingredients that the body doesn't absorb as much use very little of actual good ingredient that the body can absorb and mix it with a lot of the bad ones aren't actually needed but supplement companies want you to feel like you need it. Honestly, if you don't have medications prescribed by a doctor or don't want to achieve a certain body physique like body builders do (that's a whole another story but would love it if Johnny could cover it), then I would stay away from these so called supplements. If you're goal is to live a long healthy life, just eat healthy, workout, touch some grass, and get some good sleep.

In Australia, we have pharmaceutical grade melatonin. So I get mine prescribed rather than OTC. I've tried melatonin OTC in drop form, in lavender peppermint tea, and it just doesn't work as well as a quarter of my 2mg melatonin tablets (noticed the full tablet was most likely too much, so I cut it with my embroidery scissors). I take that with Mirtazapine every other night (again quarter of the tab, this time 15mg) to ensure I don't build a tolerance so the sedative effect still works. Sucks though, can't get a good night's sleep without something to knock me out. I heard magnesium helps a little too, so I put on body lotion with aloe and Mg, and take a reputable brand of combined Mg, Vitamin D and Ca. Maybe if some of your patients can afford it, they could bulk buy from Aus. On that matter, also suggest they buy sunscreen from here too. Our sunscreen must hold up to highly scrutinising standards, due to over 60% of the population acquiring skin cancer at some point. Plus, the cost of shipping would be outweighed by the reliability of the products, as well as most likely totalling the same cost as buying from a dodgy chemist.

My own liquid plant supplement does me well as a 65 year old bodybuilder who ( by using his supplements ) have been tested for testosterone levels and I'm much higher than normal.

Great video! That was seriously eye opening for me and made me realize how gullible I have been. I think the reason why supplements are so popular in the US, is because we want a quick fix or easier route. I was blown away when you started talking about Lions Mane because I had a bad reaction after I took some. I had no clue!

I take individual vitamins to address specific issues. The most interesting one so far is vitamin B5 / pantothenic acid, which fixes the skin cracks at the corners of my fingernails, especially in the winter. I used to take multivitamins, but I don't anymore. The extra calcium and vitamin D were messing with my tinnitus.

I am admitedly a supplement addict. I like to browse the latest health studies, especially well-designed clinical trials. If they show generally good health results (creatine, appropriately-dosed-zinc, fish oil,), I generally find reputable supplement company that produces it, and then check for independent testing results by groups such as consumer lab that spot checks safety and accuracy of the contents such as heavy metals or mislabled doses. If all is good, I order it straight from the manufacter's website to my doorstep. I think it's a pretty straightforward process. As far as bacterial and fungal contamination, we take the same risk when we eat our food everday, which often shares the same lack of oversight. I take many supplements to provide myself with a large variety of minerals and nutrients (in safe dosages) that would be very difficult to provide myself with via diet alone. I've seen considerable improvement in some of my biomarkers from supplementation. Just like anything else, supplements are only as good as the ability of the person taking them to analyze the benefit of taking them.

cosmo i may go through iherb or bigvits sometimes, is that a bad idea?, you smart you have a good process of getting good stuff, what particular supplements do you like most, i think some of the best are magnesium, vitamin c, b3, vitd3,k2, and others i could list, anyway you smart not buying off ebay amazon ect i as i think fake product on those outlets is rife, only go direct, then again i may go through iherb or bigvits sometimes, is that a bad idea? idk at the moment but life extension doesnt sell direct only via bigvits and iherb,

The point about kratom being addictive “especially towards those with past opioid addictions” is true, but that’s actually one of the benefits of it. It can be a great tool toward recovery as a replacement for other opiate drugs. Scheduling it would make it much harder for those using it as a recovery tool to access it and may lead to lots of relapses. Obviously better to not be abdicated to any opiate like substances, but a kratom addiction Is far preferred to heroin, or fentanyl.

I use Kratom daily, and I believe that it should remain legal. It does in fact work, and quite well at that. That said, it can ABSOLUTELY be habit forming. Don't let anyone convince you otherwise. It needs to be purchased from a reputable vendor, and it needs to be treated as the medicine that it is. In order for any sort of "free-market" to work, the public MUST be informed. If things are done behind our backs, then that's not a free market at all.

It's not medicine either, it's more akin to coffee it's even related to the coffee/chocolate trees. Kratom trees produce bean pods too but only the leaves have what you want. Its pain relief is hit or miss, it won't keep working forever in my testing. It has more recreational value, but forming a habit with it has the same downsides as cannabis overuse. Should tell you something when it's still legal despite the FDA trying to prohibit it for over ten years now.
