I agree with this. Many of the supplements I get online are just as risky as anything a doctor can prescribe to me. I already know more about these chemicals and drugs than any doctor I have met. What's more, I have yet to meet a doctor that even cares about the supplements I take.
- walshemj 8y agoYes well I am sure that's what the guy next to me when I was in hospital last year thought until he took supplements plus his prescribed meds and had 100% kidney failure.
- pkkm 8y agoDo you remember what supplements and meds he took?
- walshemj 8y agoLarge doses of Zinc some reaction with his other meds and the hadn't told his GP about the zinc pills.
- LinuxBender 8y agoWhat were the results of the autopsy?
- walshemj 8y agoluckily they caught it in time though I suspect his daughter had some strong words for him.
- handsomechad 8y agowhat supplements, if you dont mind me asking? what what use? (if they are a medical condition and not health or "nootropic" feel free not to say)
- LinuxBender 8y agoIt is a rather large list. I am reversing the cumulative damage to my body. To add to the discussion however, I would include sub-components of supplements such as BioPerine which is just a commercial version of piperine. Several supplements I take have this and it changes how drugs are processed in the liver. Drugs that would normally have a small chance of minor side effects can suddenly have dramatic and unpredictable side effects.
- amelius 8y ago> What's more, I have yet to meet a doctor that even cares about the supplements I take. Reminds me, some time ago I researched a supplement extensively before taking it. Then when it turned out to be helping me, I asked my doc if it was safe to continue taking it. He just Googled it, clicked on the first search result, and determined it was safe.
