Vitamins and Minerals to Use with Caution: A Guide to Safe Supplementation

In the quest for optimal health, vitamins and minerals play a crucial role, they are essential nutrients that our bodies need to function correctly. However, more is not always better. Some vitamins and minerals, when consumed in excess, can cause serious health problems.


Why Caution is Needed: Vitamin A is essential for vision, immune function, and skin health. However, excessive intake, particularly in the form of supplements, can lead to toxicity. Symptoms of vitamin A toxicity include dizziness, nausea, headaches, and even more severe effects like liver damage and intracranial pressure.

Safe Intake:

  • Upper Limit: 3,000 micrograms (10,000 IU) per day for adults.
  • Sources: Liver, fish oils, milk, eggs, and leafy green vegetables.

Why Caution is Needed: Vitamin D is vital for bone health and immune function. While deficiency is common, over-supplementation can lead to hypercalcemia (high levels of calcium in the blood), causing nausea, weakness, and kidney stones.

Safe Intake:

  • Upper Limit: 100 micrograms (4,000 IU) per day for adults.
  • Sources: Sunlight, fatty fish, fortified dairy products, and egg yolks.

Why Caution is Needed: Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant and is important for immune health. However, high doses can interfere with blood clotting and increase the risk of hemorrhagic stroke.

Safe Intake:

  • Upper Limit: 1,000 milligrams (1,500 IU) per day for adults.
  • Sources: Nuts, seeds, vegetable oils, and green leafy vegetables.

Why Caution is Needed: Vitamin B6 is involved in metabolism and brain function. Excessive intake can cause nerve damage, leading to numbness and difficulty walking.

Safe Intake:

  • Upper Limit: 100 milligrams per day for adults.
  • Sources: Fish, poultry, potatoes, chickpeas, and bananas.

Why Caution is Needed: Iron is crucial for blood production. While deficiency can cause anemia, excess iron can be toxic, leading to organ damage, diabetes, and heart disease. This is especially a concern for individuals with hemochromatosis, a genetic condition that causes iron overload.

Safe Intake:

  • Upper Limit: 45 milligrams per day for adults.
  • Sources: Red meat, poultry, seafood, beans, and fortified cereals.

Why Caution is Needed: Calcium is vital for bone health. However, excessive intake, particularly from supplements, can lead to kidney stones and impaired absorption of other essential minerals.

Safe Intake:

  • Upper Limit: 2,500 milligrams per day for adults.
  • Sources: Dairy products, leafy green vegetables, and fortified foods.

Why Caution is Needed: Zinc is important for immune function and wound healing. Over-supplementation can cause nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, stomach cramps, diarrhea, and headaches. Chronic high intake can lead to copper deficiency and associated health issues.

Safe Intake:

  • Upper Limit: 40 milligrams per day for adults.
  • Sources: Meat, shellfish, legumes, seeds, and nuts.

General Guidelines for Safe Supplementation

  1. Consult Healthcare Providers: Before starting any supplement regimen, especially if you have underlying health conditions or are pregnant, consult with a healthcare professional.
  2. Follow Recommended Dosages: Stick to the recommended dietary allowances (RDAs) and avoid mega-doses unless prescribed.
  3. Choose Reputable Brands: Opt for high-quality supplements from reputable brands to avoid contaminants and ensure proper dosage.
  4. Monitor Your Health: Pay attention to your body’s signals and get regular check-ups to monitor nutrient levels and overall health.

Conclusion

While vitamins and minerals are essential for good health, it’s important to approach supplementation with caution. Understanding the potential risks of over-supplementation can help you make informed choices and maintain optimal health without inadvertently causing harm. Always prioritize a balanced diet as the primary source of these nutrients and use supplements to fill in the gaps when necessary.

The Controversy Of Kobayashi Pharmaceutical Company



Tragedy Unveiled: The Controversy Surrounding Kobayashi Pharmaceutical Co’s Delayed Recall

In a harrowing turn of events, the past week has unfolded with alarming revelations surrounding a line of Japanese health supplements manufactured by Osaka-based Kobayashi Pharmaceutical Co. What began as a routine recall swiftly escalated into a full-blown crisis, resulting in five tragic deaths and over 100 individuals hospitalized as of Friday. The staggering toll underscores not only the severity of the situation but also raises pertinent questions about the timely disclosure of crucial information by pharmaceutical companies.

The unfolding tragedy traces its origins back to the delayed actions of Kobayashi Pharmaceutical Co, which is now under intense scrutiny for its failure to promptly address internal concerns dating as far back as January. The company, known for its wide array of health products, including supplements, found itself in the eye of the storm as reports emerged linking its supplements to severe health complications, including fatalities.

The timeline of events paints a troubling picture of negligence and inadequate risk management. Despite being aware of potential issues with their products months in advance, Kobayashi Pharmaceutical Co hesitated to take decisive action. This delay in public disclosure not only jeopardized the health and safety of consumers but also undermined public trust in the company’s commitment to transparency and accountability.

The repercussions of Kobayashi Pharmaceutical Co’s inaction have been devastating. Families have been shattered, lives irreversibly altered, and public confidence in the pharmaceutical industry shaken. Moreover, the sheer magnitude of the crisis has underscored systemic flaws in regulatory oversight and enforcement mechanisms, prompting calls for comprehensive reforms to prevent similar tragedies in the future.

The fallout from this crisis extends beyond mere financial losses or reputational damage. It serves as a stark reminder of the paramount importance of corporate responsibility and ethical conduct in the pharmaceutical sector. Companies entrusted with the well-being of consumers must prioritize transparency, prioritize public health, and demonstrate unwavering commitment to ethical standards.

“We apologize deeply,” President Akihiro Kobayashi expressed to reporters on Friday, his remorse palpable as he bowed for an extended duration, a gesture underscored by three other top company officials. This public apology signifies a recognition of the gravity of the situation and a commitment to accountability. However, mere words are insufficient to remedy the loss and suffering inflicted upon the victims and their families. Kobayashi Pharmaceutical Co must follow through with concrete actions to address the aftermath of this crisis and prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.

Moving forward, there are urgent lessons to be learned and corrective measures to be implemented. First and foremost, regulatory agencies must strengthen monitoring protocols to ensure timely detection and response to potential health risks associated with pharmaceutical products. Additionally, there must be greater accountability mechanisms in place to hold companies accountable for any lapses in quality control or risk management.

Furthermore, stakeholders across the pharmaceutical industry must embrace a culture of transparency and collaboration, recognizing that safeguarding public health is a collective responsibility. By fostering greater transparency and information sharing, we can mitigate the risk of similar crises and uphold the trust and confidence of consumers.

In the wake of this tragedy, our thoughts are with the victims and their families who have been profoundly impacted by this preventable crisis. As we mourn the lives lost and struggle with the repercussions of this ordeal, let us resolve to demand greater accountability, transparency, and ethical conduct from all stakeholders in the pharmaceutical industry. Only through collective action and unwavering commitment to public health can we prevent such tragedies from recurring in the future.

Memory Water & Eliminating Stress.

Memory Water & Eliminating Stress

I have recently come across a scientific fact that water holds memory and through the power of sound and vibration can change its molecules. This is particularly interesting seeing we are made up of 60% water. So imagine the effects it would have on us if you took the water that we manipulated.

Eliminating Stress with Water memory has the purported ability of water to retain a memory of substances previously dissolved in it even after an arbitrary number of serial dilutions. It has been claimed to be a mechanism by which homeopathic remedies work, even when they are diluted to the point that no molecule of the original substance remains, but has no scientific proof. In fact in the video below a group of people were actually poisoned by water that after testing did not have anything wrong with it.

Water memory contradicts the current scientific understanding of physical chemistry. In 1988, Jacques Benveniste published a study supporting a water memory effect amid controversy in Nature, accompanied by an editorial by Nature’s editor John Maddox urging readers to “suspend judgment” until the results could be replicated.

In the years after publication, multiple supervised experiments were made by Benveniste’s team, the United States Department of Defense, BBC’s Horizon program, and other researchers.

Stress:

My method of reducing stress other than breathing is hypnosis and my latest find is water memory. I am not a scientific whizz kid I am just someone that suffers from depression and stress and looks at different ways to manage it.

What I have learned is that water reacts to sound and vibration and when you talk to water it memorizes the vibrations from the sounds you make from the words you say. So if you recite positive words and then drink the water you are essentially fuelling the positive vibrations back into your body. It seems to work for me. I feel less anxious when I drink my water.

Konstantin Korotkov, a Russian scientist, who has conducted many experiments involving the energetic emissions of organisms, found that the movement of water helped to structure the molecules. https://medium.com/adhocra/water-has-memory-science-shows-d8d5537566be

However, you should refrain from drinking tap water which has gone through many pipes and chemicals to get to us. So even though these potentially dangerous contaminants are removed, the water still remains, with electrical “imprints” of bad things that were in the water in the beginning.

We should therefore drink pure water from the mountains. I personally drink Evian. I am not affiliated with this company it is just my own personal preference and I am sure any mineral water will do and any brand.

I am not sure if distilled water or boiled and cooled down water would have the same effect but I want quick results rather than to experiment. I certainly do not and will not drink water that has gone through our pipes especially seeing it is full of chlorine and fluoride, no matter how safe they say it is.

It is up to you to do the research. I am just writing what seems to work for me. Obviously, I still have a lot of reading to do but I find that if it was not true people would not be talking about it or studying it.

I prefer to get facts from science and have yet to do the (3 x jar experiment) 1 x love jar, 1 x ignore jar, 1 x hate jar with rice for 30 days. (Videos below of people’s own experiences).

Masaru Emoto was a Japanese businessman, author, and pseudo-scientist who claimed that human consciousness could affect the molecular structure of water. I have added a video below. His 2004 book can be founded on Amazon. The Hidden Messages in Water was a New York Times bestseller.

Considering we are made up of water in fact 60% of the human adult body is water. According to H.H. Mitchell, Journal of Biological Chemistry 158, the brain and heart are composed of 73% water, and the lungs are about 83% water, it makes sense that we need water to survive. The skin contains 64% water, muscles and kidneys are 79%, and even the bones are watery: 31%. So it stands to reason if we drink water and we absorb water through our skin then what we drink has an effect on us. We can survive without food but we cannot survive without water.

Facts About Water:

Water serves a number of essential functions to keep us all going

  • A vital nutrient to the life of every cell, acts first as a building material.
  • It regulates our internal body temperature by sweating and respiration
  • The carbohydrates and proteins that our bodies use as food are metabolized and transported by water in the bloodstream;
  • It assists in flushing waste mainly through urination
  • Acts as a shock absorber for brain, spinal cord, and fetus
  • Forms saliva
  • Lubricates joints
  • Babies and kids have more water (as a percentage) than adults.
  • Women have less water than men (as a percentage).
  • People with more fatty tissue have less water than people with less fatty tissue (as a percentage).

Emoto said that water was a “blueprint for our reality” and that emotional “energies” and “vibrations” could change its physical structure.

His water crystal experiments consisted of exposing water in glasses to various words, pictures, or music, then freezing it and examining the ice crystals’ aesthetic properties with microscopic photography.

He claimed that water exposed to positive speech and thoughts created visually “pleasing” ice crystals, and that negative intentions yielded “ugly” ice formations. Before knocking it at least try and see for yourself.

Emoto held that different water sources produced different ice structures. For example, he held that water from a mountain stream, when frozen, showed structures of beautifully-shaped geometric designs; but that water from polluted sources created distorted, randomly formed ice structures. He held that these changes could be eliminated by exposing water to ultraviolet light or certain electromagnetic waves.

Final Thoughts From The Editor.

I will continue to do my research but placebo effect or not the water that I manipulate seems to help my mental well-being much better than the medication I take. I am not claiming miracles it is my own personal observation that I note seems to work for me.

I will publish my finding on the 3 jar experiment as soon as I am able to do it and it will be an update within this post.
