Action Alert: Natural, Bioavailable Forms of B6 in Peril!
Everyone says, “Take your vitamins.” If only they’d let us! Vitamin B6 is something of a miracle worker. The FDA bans one of the most bioavailable forms of it so a drug company can monopolize it. Now even the form of B-6 we can’t live without is at risk of being banned for the same reason—...

I really dislike taking any drugs or supplements containing edible ink, titanium phosphates, lactose, polyethylene glycol, polysorbate 80 which is plastic and a few other inert unnecessary ingredients that I feel are detrimental to our health Polysorbate 80 is found in most every brand of ice cream and I don’t understand why. I think there are way too many unnecessary ingredients added to most of our canned and processed foods along with breads, cookies, cakes, etc. I also think these additives are causing cancerous tumors and other ailments people never used to have. There are some very bad additives in all of our soaps, both liquid and bars, and laundry detergents that are very bad for people and fabric! Even baby soaps and baby laundry detergents have bad additives in them that are bad for babies and baby clothes! Not left out are the cleaning agents that have bad ingredients that can make people sick! This could be part of the cause of Autism!
12 yrs ago I was diagnose with Hypothyroidism and the treatment that my doctor gave me was Synthroid , never explained the side effects and talk about nutrition , change doctors and still the same attitude. The system don’t aloud you to try more natural treatments, because they are not interested in cure. 8 years ago I star Doing my own research and looking for better treatment and found that homeopathy is safer . I still working on it, but definitely feel a lot better.
I HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH SEVERAL GENERIC ADDERALS, THEY CONTAIN BLUE DYE, ALUMINUM, AND SOME EVEN RED DYE. ONE TIME I STARTED BECOMING UNABLE TO MAKE DECISIONS, NEEDED HELP TAKING A PLANE TRIP TO CA TO VISIT DAUGHTER AND FRIEND, IT TOOK ALMOST 3 WEEKS BEFORE I COULD INTERACT WITH MY FRIEND AND I MAINLY STAYED IN BED. I KEPT TELLING MY DOCTOR AND PHARMACIST OF MY REACTIONS BUT THEY JUST KEPT GIVING ME THE SAME PRESCRIPTION. FINALLY THEY HEARD ME. THE PHARMACY REFUSED TO FILL MY PRESCRIPTIONS. MY DOCTOR WOULD ONLY FILL MY RX AT HER CONVENIENCE, WHICH WAS SPOTTY. FINALLY AFTER MANY MONTHS SHE SAID THAT ALL ADDERAL, INCLUDING THE GENERICS HAD THOSE ADDITIVES IN THEM. SHE GAVE ME A FEW MORE PRESCRIPTIONS, WOULD NOT TALK TO ME UNTIL I THREATEN TO SUE HER. SHE STOPPED BEING MY DOCTOR AND I HAVE BEEN WAITING TO SEE ANOTHER FOR 3 MONTHS. WITHOUT THE MEDICATION I CAN NOT FUNCTION WELL AND I AM VERY VERY DEPRESSED. STAY HOME WATCHING MY COMPUTER MOST OF THE TIME. I WAS SO GLAD TO SEE YOUR EMAIL—FINALLY AND THANK YOU. I LIVE ON THE BIG ISLAND OF HAWAII WERE THERE ARE FEW DOCTORS AND MOST OF THEM DON’T CARE. I WANT TO MOVE BUT I CAN’T FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO IT. I NEED HELP!!!!!!!!
Sorry, continue to spread the word, telling others. Standard western medicine is very strong in the US
The same thing is true of “inert” ingredients commonly used in agricultural chemical products, including RoundUp, glyphosate-containing formulas, herbicides, etc. USDA allows over 300 industrial chemicals to be in a commercial product formulation and kept secret by labeling them “inert.” How many really impact human health when eaten as residues on our foods and in our meats? How many were actually tested on human populations, in combination with others and certified as safe? What’s the justification to think the active listed ingredients are the only ones which might have a health impact? How can we understand the impacts of chemical products which have secret ingredients?
I was cured from chronic fatigue from a wonderful doctor that is now making his own natural medicines. Western medicine had no answers for me. They are good at surgery, bones breaks, and heart help. They are terrible at immune illness and can only minimally prescribe dietary health for fear of lawsuits and disfavor with their profession.
