Of course they are! Why are you trying to put that in such a bad light, Terril? In fact, in the case of vitimin C, it is one of the more delicate compounds. Adjusting upwards is crucial for those who, for example, smoke, because smoking eats up vitiman C like it was breakfast, lunch and dinner plus a late night snack! Vitamin intake is not as cut and dried as "open mouth, insert tablet, swallow".

My point. Your data is not universally considered.

For each single person there is an "optimum", and to do as Hubbard did, which is to say everyone should take X amount of Y vitamin is, at best, reckless and irresponsible.

As a stand alone position ythis is nonsese.

The pharmaceutical industry could give less than two shits about vitimans, because that's not where the money is, Terril. The money is in Prozac, Imitrex, Viagra and a sundry other "high end" medications that they are attempting, so they say, to recoup their R&D costs on. There is no R&D costs on vitimans, because their effects and use are uniform.

Yes?

Thats a stupid viewpoint. Consult your own political nemisis.

And you expected... What, exactly? That's what debate is all about, Terril. People aren't going to sit down and shut up just because the hard, verifiable data they're giving you doesn't fit into what you want to hear. Nor will people go into agreement with you just because you're Terril Parks and they just want to placate you. If you can't handle the fact that there is data that exists that nullifies your point, perhaps you shouldn't pose the questions, man.

The data?

Says who? You? In the case of the purif, it's not a question of just a few micrograms over the recommended limits, it's an assload of over the top mega doses over a prolonged period of time. The toxicity data alone applies from day one! People are stuffing their bodies with things that said body has a limited capacity to deal with. It's like constantly red lining an engine; at some point, somethings gotta give. Odds are, it'll be the organ of the body that has to deal with such outrageous and overwhelming amounts of vitamins and minerals.

So give all records off the downside.
In the end, Terril, it's all fine and good for you to sit back and say that you're primarily seeking data, but it's worthless if all you ever want to do is shoot said data down and promote, protect and apologize for the tech.
BB
So fuck you nicely too. Do your job.
