Guest guest Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 >I recall a sixty minutes show a while back, they took a health store product, six diff brands, to an independent lab, came in with six diff levels, one product had absolutely zero in it, the highest was sixty percent of what was on the label.< Hi , I don't doubt that for a minute. I've been working with supplements for over 30 years, and I've gone through many brands. I got lucky back in the 70s when I worked with a nutritionist who actually had gone from manufacturer to manufacturer and asked to see their products made (he had a lot of money and more curiosity). His recommendations were first class! Incidentally, he was the first person who ever turned me on to digestives. I never mention a supplement to anyone unless I have tried it myself, for long enough to be sure that it had positive results. Even so, those results were for me. It's entirely possible that someone else might not have a comparable experience. Caveat emptor! Hugs, Dianne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 A friend of mine used to call that " cherry-picking, " i.e., when they choose a bunch of loser supplements and use them to blacken all supplements. When I had heart failure three years ago, the cardios prescribed a whole slew of dangerous prescription meds. One medication made my toenails turn blue and fall off. I know that sounds funny, but it wasn't really. <grin> Heaven knows what else it was doing to me! Their serious side effects were blindness, hearing loss, kidney failure, etc. I weaned myself off those. I'm using supplements now, carefully researched and chosen, and they are keeping me vertical. NO side effects either. Dianne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
