Nobody is claiming that, so the only person making a joke of themselves is you.
My only claim is Vitamins are worth the money unlike so called pre-programmed followers on this thread.
So shut shut your pie hole.

Listen you fool, I know you cannot follow a thread, but clearly several of you here disagree with taking Vitamins.
Your a joke.
Do you know how to read?
Come'on Bigsby, don't you get it?
S/he's using parody to emphasize the point that we're just not so Hip and Clever to do in that manner.
That's why I clicked like! on the comment about bending over (yes we vitamin-eaters all get regular blood tests). puhim is a funny genius!

If only Dr's can tell you anything Bigsby, LOL Your fucked.
Go dig a hole and bury yourself now, save them the trouble.
Make sure you have a donors card on your DL, that should expedite it.

Right. So you are anti-establishment if you take vitamin supplements? That must explain all the adverts and rows and rows of them in supermarkets and pharmacies. Rebellious stuff indeed.

You said you are training to be a doctor, did you not? You're right for about the first time though - anyone listening to you would be fucked.

They don't, though they do seem to appear on forums pretending to go to med school.
Bigbsy, like I said
If someone was an employee at a teaching hospital, janitor security guard orderly or whatever, or even a patient at one, s/he was at a Medical School.
If I had to guess, I'd say Bigsby and puhim are sitting around at an outdoor cafe somewhere by Cannery Row having fun with putting one over on us while they're getting their nourishment from some pitchers and consuming some vitamins in their tapas.
But puhim is more clever (and so also more effective) than Bigsby (or me) at making tovarichpeter's original point!

You did say you had AIDS right or was it cancer?
Oh that's right you can't think for yourself. You've said as much over and over and over again, you are nothing more than a pre-programmed ZOMBIE!
Keep clinging to that TREE! Dumbass!

Unfortunately not.

Don't be stupid, Save our money you don't need Vitamins, it's in the food!
Why do you think they sell Vitamins at a Supermarket in the first place? Shouldn't the food have it?
Idiots! Look around you! Wake the fuck up!
Hmm Paul Offit wrote the article.
This is an interesting report on Paul Offit July 25, 2008
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-500690_162-4296175.html
Paul Offit responds to Sharyl Attkisson immediately in 2008.....most of the response was retracted due to discrepancies in his attack of Attkisson
Orange county register publishes retraction of Offit's response......3 years later when people forgot about it.
http://www.ocregister.com/articles/correction-296910-dated-entitled.html
Unsubstantiated statements include: Offit’s claim that Attkisson “liedâ€; and Offit’s claim that CBS News sent a “mean spirited and vituperative†email “over the signature of Sharyl Attkisson†stating “You’re clearly hiding something.†In fact, the OC Register has no evidence to support those claims. Further, Offit told the OC Register that he provided CBS News “the details of his relationship, and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s relationship, with pharmaceutical company Merck.†However, documents provided by CBS News indicate Offit did not disclose his financial relationships with Merck, including a $1.5 million Hilleman chair he sits in that is co-sponsored by Merck. According to the CBS News’ documentation recently reviewed by the OC Register, the network requested (but Offit did not disclose) the entire profile of his professional financial relationships with pharmaceutical companies including: The amount of compensation he’d received from which companies in speaking fees; and pharmaceutical consulting relationships and fees. The CBS News documentation indicates Offit also did not disclose his share of past and future royalties for the Merck vaccine he co-invented. To the extent that unsubstantiated and/or false claims appeared in the OC Register and have been repeated by other organizations and individuals, the OC Register wishes to express this clarification for their reference and for the record.
I find it hilarious that those pre-programmed fools try to bash me by saying I know nothing about Food or Vitamins since I am no Dr. LMFAO!!!
Idiots.
Seriously you idiots need to share a brain!
Dr's don't know shit about nutrition.
When a Dr needs information about food he will ask a NUTRITIONIST!
If you need some drugs then ask a Dr.
Only a Dr's knows anything so you shouldn't talk about these things !!! Seriously wow!!! CRAZY !
Right. So you are anti-establishment if you take vitamin supplements? That must explain all the adverts and rows and rows of them in supermarkets and pharmacies. Rebellious stuff indeed.

They sell them because they make the companies a substantial profit or did you think they did it for charitable purposes?
The guy basically implied that Linus Pauling wife died due to vitamin C poisoning while failing to point out that Dr. Pauling lived until he was 94 years of age.
In May 1980, during an interview at Oregon State University, Linus Pauling was asked, "Does vitamin C have any side effects on long-term use of, let's say, gram quantities?" Pauling's answer was quick and decisive. "No," he replied.
Seven months later, his wife was dead of stomach cancer. In 1994, Linus Pauling died of prostate cancer.
Pauling died of prostate cancer.
Maybe it was from Fish OIL supplements! That's the latest claim!
They sell them because they make the companies a substantial profit or did you think they did it for charitable purposes?
Which is bigger Pharmaceutical industry or the Vitamin industry?
Which is known to be totally insidious and regularly spreads misinformation? Here's a hint not the Vitamin business!
Dumbass!

They are both out to make a profit, so what? And I'd be bloody worried if the vitamin business was bigger than the pharmaceutical industry.

The global pharmaceuticals market is worth US$300 billion a year, a figure expected to rise to US$400 billion within three years

The pharmaceutical industry has traditionally supported Republican candidates. But as Democrats have seized Congress and the White House in recent cycles, industry advocates have steadily become more generous toward traditional foes. These companies’ contributions split evenly during the 2008 cycle, after the GOP received two-thirds of drug company contributions in the run-up to the 2006 cycle.
And how exactly does that post counter anything I said? Puhim in big business funds politicians shocker. Call The Washington Post.

High-Dose Vitamin C Therapy Proven Effective
"My doctor doesn't believe in vitamins." Since when is medicine based on belief?
(OMNS, January 5, 2010) The medical literature has virtually ignored 75 years of physician reports and laboratory and clinical studies on successful high-dose vitamin C therapy.
Effective doses are high doses, often 1,000 times more than the US Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) or Daily Reference Intake (DRI). It is a cornerstone of medical science that dose affects treatment outcome. This premise is accepted with pharmaceutical drug therapy, but not with vitamin therapy. Most unsuccessful vitamin C research has used inadequate, low doses. Low doses do not get clinical results.
Investigators using vitamin C in high doses have consistently reported excellent results. High doses were advocated almost immediately after ascorbic acid was isolated by Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, M.D. (1893-1986). Notable early medical pioneers of high-dose vitamin C (ascorbate) therapy are Claus Washington Jungeblut, M.D. (1898-1976); William J. McCormick, M.D. (1880-1968); and Frederick R. Klenner, M.D. (1907-1984). More recently, important work has been published by Hugh D. Riordan, M.D. (1932-2005) and Robert F. Cathcart III, M.D. (1932-2007).
It Was 75 Years Ago Today
Dr. Jungeblut, Professor of Bacteriology at Columbia University, first published on vitamin C as prevention and treatment for polio, in 1935. (1) Also in 1935, Jungeblut showed that vitamin C inactivated diphtheria toxin. (2) By 1937, Jungeblut demonstrated that ascorbate inactivated tetanus toxin. (3) Between 1943 and 1947, Dr. Klenner, a specialist in diseases of the chest, cured 41 cases of viral pneumonia with vitamin C. By 1946, Dr. McCormick showed how vitamin C prevents and also cures kidney stones; by 1957, how it fights cardiovascular disease. Beginning in the 1960s, Dr. Cathcart used large doses of vitamin C to treat pneumonia, hepatitis, and eventually AIDS. For more than three decades, beginning in 1975, Dr. Riordan and his team have successfully used large doses of intravenous vitamin C against cancer. The use of doses of tens of thousands of milligrams of vitamin C per day may be the most unacknowledged successful research in medicine.
Heard this one before? "If vitamin C was that good, doctors would tell their patients to take a lot of it." It is surprising how many physicians have done precisely that.
What's that? Your doctor still doesn't?
Why? Decades of physicians' reports and controlled studies support the use of very large doses of vitamin C.

This is not proof that vitamin C is effective in treating cancer, but it shows that it is well-tolerated in cancer patients and is a call for phase II clinical trials.
If what Offit was saying was true, why are they still conducting trials on vitamin C as an adjunct therapy for cancer?

While IV vitamin therapy isn't new - 50 years ago, American doctor John Myers treated fatigue and depression with his injectable ''Myers' Cocktail'' of B6, B12, and magnesium - the practice is also enjoying a resurgence with private clinics in Sydney and Melbourne offering tailored treatments for an assortment of chronic and seasonal ailments

In 2012, more than half of all Americans took some form of vitamin supplements.
I love this quote from the Atlantic!
What they don't tell you is, people who take vitamins don't see physicians.

That's right keep taking those med's
laughter! The best medicine. Thanks, "doc"!
Don't know what the article's agenda is, but it is a good example of not taking a random journalist at face value.
Pauling did not advocate mega dose therapy for anything but Vitamin C.
He postulated that people varied in their ability to uptake and utilize various vitamins optimally. He distinguished between the minimal dose necessary to prevent symptoms of deficiency, and the optimal dose, which would be a larger dose than one simply adequate to prevent obvious pathology.
He further speculated that this utilization would occur roughly along a bell shaped curve, as do many phenomena in biochemistry and genetics i.e. there would be a broad band of people who would do fine with a basic preventative dose, there would be a smaller percentage who needed very little, and at the other end, a percentage of low utilizers who could use a much larger dose of a given vitamin.
Since nobody knows exactly where they stand in relation to these various bell shaped curves for all of the known vitamins, he stated that you should go vitamin free for a while and titrate i.e. increase your dose of a single vitamin until you feel better and then record that, then start over again and titrate another vitamin until you know for yourself which doses might be optimal. That way, you can develop your own dosages and profile, and for some people, they might wind up taking quite a bit of some vitamins or very little of others.
I wonder if that journalist even read what Pauling wrote, or cared, he just seems to be intent on attacking the vitamin industry.
Also, the populations that do and don't take vitamins might be different. Sick or unhealthy people might already be inclined to take more vitamins, whereas people who are healthy and have a sense of well being already might not.
At any rate, the article does not pass the BS sniff test.

Orthomolecular Hall Of Fame
The importance of diet in relationship to optimal health has been understood throughout recorded history. Hippocrates regarded food as a primary form of medicine more than 2,500 years ago. Records from ancient Egypt as far back as 5000 BC show the use of specific foods to treat various conditions.
The first person to show a direct link between disease and a lack of a specific nutrient was James Lind, a physician in the British navy, who discovered that sailors on long voyages without rations containing citrus fruits developed bleeding gums, rough skin, poor muscle tension, and slow-healing wounds, all symptoms characteristic of scurvy. In 1757, in one of the first controlled medical experiments, Lind demonstrated that when sailors were supplied with lemons, limes, and oranges, scurvy could be prevented. As a result of his findings, Captain James Cook made it mandatory that every English sailor be supplied with rations of lemons and limes, enabling to sail around the world scurvy-free, as well as supplying them with the nickname "limeys." Today, it is well known that scurvy is due to vitamin C deficiency.
Christiaan Eijkman
1858-1930
Christiaan Eijkman, a Dutch physician, is famous for his nutritional research. In 1893 he discovered that a diet of polished (overkvernet) rice causes beriberi, and was able to produce the disease experimentally in birds. He discovered vitamin B.
In 1897, Christiaan Eijkman proved that an element in unpolished rice was essential to proper functioning of the nervous system and carbohydrate metabolism, and that a deficiency in that ingredient could cause beriberi and other diseases. In 1929, his research resulted in him sharing the Nobel Prize with British biochemist Sir Frederick Gowland Hopkins for physiology and medicine.
