watch a movie called "run from the cure" it's a story about a man called Rick Simpson. he was curing people from cancer and other major diseases. using medical marijuana. - what he does is harvest the marijuana and cooks it down to a black oil. - this oil cures many different diseases including most cancers, diabetes, naturally controls your metabolic rate(I lost 75lbs without diet or exercise). I was losing my hair and going grey - My hair has almost grown back and the grey is almost gone. I have a large swollen vein in my right leg that the Doctors want to remove because of the bad pain - its almost gone(75% of the swelling is gone). And yet with all the success that a lot of people are having including myself the Feds are trying to closed down all the dispensaries in Calif.
Why because it works and there is no money in curing diseases only in long term care. I'm just tired of all corruption that is happening in our country and around the world! Total BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't believe these reports this all the FDA working with the UN on agenda 21 Population control - I cant believe they are saying this and expect everyone is going to believe this BS. The next thing you'll see they will remove vitamins from the stores and you'll need a prescription to get vitamins like you do in Europe.
Vitamins help you live a healthier life because of the lack of nutrients found in our soil and foods. Look up agenda 21 on youtube this explains what the United Nations plan to control population - this was set up back in 1992 to go into effect on 12-31-2009. watch the videos and learn what is happening here in the USA and around the world.

What utter nonsence! Many people cannot afford to eat an organic type lifetsyle as many of these so called experts live.The lack of supplements will cause untold suffering and death to many having to eat and drink contaminated food and water every day of thier lives.I am talking about the West not some third world nation! The additives that are pumped into our foods and the POISON that is sprayed on our fruits are disgusting! If these are the experts, we are in for hell on earth!These people are being paid off by extreamly evil think tanks! THE NEW WORLD ORDER is not a pretty picture for the masses! ONE WAY OF GREAT DEPOPULATION I should think! Ever wondered why so many of the so called leaders keep going on about globalisation and the new world order rubbish, and cabon foot print scam!

I suspect that the CRN has an axe to grind. See below for the sponsorship of the CRN.
Check this site to see their campaign.
http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Council_for_Responsible_Nutrition
"Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN) is a Washington-based trade association, whose members include Archer Daniels Midland Company, Bayer Corporation, Cargill Health & Food Technologies, and Monsanto Life Sciences Company, representing ingredient suppliers and manufacturers in the dietary supplement industry.
Dietary supplements are currently an unregulated market with no testing required before they are marketed. CRN advocates a self-regulatory model of the dietary supplement industry and vigourously apposes any FDA regulatory control while having current, or past, ties with the FDA."

The article quotes the Council for Responsible Nutrition's defense of the use of vitamins. It should have pointed out that this is a vitamin manufacturer trade association. Per their Web site: "The Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN), founded in 1973, is a Washington, D.C.-based trade association representing ingredient suppliers and manufacturers in the dietary supplement industry."

Data shows no protective effect for CVD or cancer but vitD and Ca are still important supplements to protect against osteoporosis. You have a dangerously wrong title to your article and need to change it to something more accurate.

Follow the money, and then make up your own mind on the research

YES, we DO need vitamins and protein to survive. It is a fact. But only in certain, and relatively small amounts. Most Americans get plenty with an even approximately typical diet. I just turned 52 two days ago, haven't been in a doctor's office in literally years, and take no supplements other than a 400 IU vitamin E gel cap every other day, and likely don't even need that. I've been a runner for 20 years and can do 80 pushups non-stop with no problem, and have for years. I keep tabs on my own blood pressure and have a blood profile done every once in a while (without doctor's visit), and I interpret my own results. People have a tendency to develop an almost emotional attachment to their vitamin pills or whatever it is they think they can't live without. In my younger years, I felt that I just COULDN'T live without a One-a-Day Plus Minerals capsule every day, until I realized they were unnecessary and making me SICK. Stopped cold turkey in 1985 and never took another one. I did survive after all, and quite well!!

I was diagnosed with SQUAMOUS CELL BREAST CANCER
at the age of 69 and I have eaten a healthy diet of
primarily raw vegetables and fruits, whole wheat
products, and very little red meat - mostly chicken,
with pork and fish about twice/week. I've also
taken a multivitamin and B Complex with C daily
all my life. I garden about 3 times/week year around
about 2 hours each time - but I wear long pants
and a long-sleeved shirt or shorts and sleeveless shirt depending on the weather. I've also taken Vit. D
supplements since I've only used goat's milk - no
cow's milk ever. none of my doctors can explain why
I'm basically very healthy (now at 71), but still
got a rare breast cancer - unrelated to hormones.
