Conclusion:
The vitamin euphoria has hit the world’s population at a time when there are no reliable methods to
determine if and when someone suffers from a vitamin deficiency. Reviewing the harmful effects caused
by vitamin intake, it is likely that a deficiency, if it really exists, is either caused by an overtaxed digestive
system and subsequent congestion of the capillary network or by overdosing the body with vitamins.
Blood vessel wall congestion and intestinal trouble prevents vitamins from reaching the cells, tissues,
organs and systems in the body. Taking extra vitamins in such a situation can actually trigger a defense
mechanism that empties the body’s vitamin reserves.
Furthermore, it is not known how much of each vitamin each particular body-type requires to be vital
and healthy, and it also not possible to find out how much of each vitamin the body is able to extract from
the foods consumed. What’s more, it is erroneous to assume that by taking extra vitamins the body will
automatically make use of them. We simply don’t know how much of the vitamins will leave the stomach
unharmed, in what amounts they are going to be digested and how much of these are likely to be absorbed
by the blood and the body cells. What is known, though, is that synthetically produced multi-vitamin pills
have an intestinal absorption rate of no more than 3 to 5 percent; the rest ends up in your toilet, if you are
lucky. There are no people on the planet with exactly the same vitamin requirements and absorption rates.
What may be normal for one person may not be normal for another, which makes the “standardized
vitamin requirements for all” questionable, if not potentially harmful.
The argument that our foods today are so depleted of vitamins that we need to take additional helpings
of synthetically derived vitamins is only partially correct. Most of the foods consumed by most people in
modern countries are highly acid-forming, which means that they damage blood vessels and deplete the
body’s vitamins and minerals. The foods that have the most acidifying effects in the body include milk,
dairy products, meat and its products, tinned or frozen foods, white bread, pasta and pastry made from
bleached and refined flour, refined sugar, alcoholic beverages, diet beverages, soft drinks, sports drinks,
packaged fruit juices, preserved foods, processed breakfast cereals, chocolates, ready-made cakes, potato
chips (crisps), hydrogenated oils and fats, and most fast/junk foods. The exaggerated ratio of daily-
required vitamins may apply only to the severely undernourished person. Fresh fruits, vegetables,
legumes and grain foods, ideally of organic origin, still contain more than enough vitamins to supply the
body many times over.
Taking vitamin pills, which don’t contain much Life Force Energy, also known as Chi or Prana), does
not substitute regular intake of healthy, fresh food. Vitamins that have been removed from their natural
environment, i.e., fruits, vegetables, etc. can in fact upset both AGNI and the delicate balance of minerals
and vitamins in the body. This especially applies to multivitamin preparations. Although there are
conditions when taking extra vitamins may be beneficial, for example, before and after removing
amalgam fillings from the teeth, they ought not to be taken in large doses and for more than 10-14 days at
a time. This is best done under supervision of a health practitioner who is aware of the side effects that
vitamins can have. In any case, synthetic vitamins should be avoided at all cost.
A large study testing the potential benefits of antioxidants such as Vitamin C, Vitamin E and beta
carotene for the heart in women found no benefits whatsoever. The study was reported on CNN August
14, 2007. You will need to determine whether it is worthwhile to spend a lot of money on supplements
that don’t work, but could possibly affect you negatively.
