high does niacin does not lead higher rates of cvd that's a lie, meta analysis shows no improvement with cvd when compared to statins, and slight improvement with secondary outcomes like stroke when used as a mono therapy, but not additional improvement with statins. Talk about miss information, also niacin lowers CETP gene translation by 50%, that leads to an increase of hdl. Hdl has no effects on cvd, but also leads to an increase of apoa-l which is beneficial against ceremide accumulation.

The version of vitamin E used in the studies was a synthetic version containing only one isomer

[cabolynn]

Have you seen the research on Eannatto Tocotrienols Vitamin E ? Not all vitamin E is the same.

One of the problems with the modern studies is 99% of them compare supplements to placebo, when they should have three groups #1 Supplements, #2 Placebo and #3 Organic Natural Sources of what the Supplement comes from.

The same with Prescription Medication, compare say #1 A proper diet, balanced average exercise regimen and BP Meds vs #2 A proper diet and Vit D3, Vit K2, Magnesium Chelated, Zinc Chelated, Bromelain, Bebeerine, Garlic oil, Quercetin vs #3 A proper diet and Vit D3, Vit K2, Magnesium Chelated, Zinc Chelated, Bromelain, Bebeerine, Garlic oil, Quercetin AND BP meds. I am quite sure #3 group would do best. This is the path I chose, and it has helped greatly.

Now I am also weeding out foods that cause negative effects.

Canned chicken had to go, in favor of fresh cooked chicken at home.

No more eating deep fried anything at restaurants.

I can still eat canned Fruit Cocktail, but In Heavy Syrup had to go, in favor of No Sugar Added or in 100% Fruit Juice or Fresh Organic cut up the fruit myself.

I still take supplements, but I make sure they are in the correct (synergistic) combination of individual supplements that are not super doses.

I also make sure they are the best type for the need. Like the better B12 and the better Niacin and the correct Magnesium and correct Vit E and correct Vit D.

I also do not take all the same vitamins or supplements every day.

I may skip Vit E every other day and take copper once a week and rotate out different types of Magnesium.

I may also skip a few days of some of the B Vitamins based on what I am eating.

I do not take Vit A, I drink Carrot Juice or eat Carrots.

I do not take Melatonin; I eat Cherries or Bell Peppers as they are natural sources of Melatonin.

I actually eat berries like supplements.

Sometimes I only 3 to 5 blueberries, but three times a day. Then later I eat 2 to 3 blackberries and a strawberry.

Organic when I can get them.

I rotate between black grapes and red grapes and eat a few here and there throughout the day.

I try to eat some things as if I am a nomad gatherer walking along and finding them to eat as I go, but not shoving down a lot of them.

I used to have this issue when I would reach up, my nerve in my arm would act like I hit my funny bone as it were), but after nibbling on blackberries and blueberries throughout the day, in a few weeks it starts going away and by the years end it was gone from my arm.

The cells repaired whatever was going on and I suspect the berries gave them the recourses to do the repairs over time. Cells are tiny so they do take time to fix things, but they built us, so if they have what they need (correct resources) to repair their Habitat (which is what we are for them) and they have directions (they do), they will fix most issues as best they can.

The main problem in the supplement world is the misuse and of clinical research data by individuals and companies who want to make a quick dollar. A good example is the story of N-acetylcysteine (NAC). All the clinical research using NAC as a supplement in humans was done in my lab starting in the early 1990's in patients who had a known deficiency in Glutathione (GSH), the most important cellular anti-oxidant/detoxicant in the body. The patients I targeted in chronological order were those with HIV/AIDS, severe malnutrition, diabetes and the elderly. Every group had one thing in common, a deficiency in the amino acid Cysteine, which is rate limiting for the synthesis of GSH. After establishing that these patients were not synthesizing sufficient GSH, I supplemented them with cysteine in the form of NAC and every group had a massive response in GSH rate of synthesis with normalization of cellular GSH in 2 weeks. So NAC is meant to be a therapeutic supplement only for individuals with a deficiency of cysteine. It is not meant for healthy individuals consuming an adequate diet. As a matter of fact it can be toxic to healthy individuals as excess sulfur amino acids (cysteine + methionine) are known to be toxic and can even cause death.

Saying that "people seem to be dying sooner from taking Vitamin A and Vitamin E" is purely speculative, since no long-term, controlled human studies have been done to prove that.

[roblovegreen]

You mention the NIH as a trustworthy source of information? 😂 This pharma captured agency lost the respect of so many during the COVID debacle.

[MrRESolutions]

What a good things that were addressed but my primary care physician knows nothing about nutrition, exercise modalities sunlight or light therapy in general, cold therapy and hot therapy etc. He's just a nice guy with a head full of pharmaceutical knowledge primarily.

[Miroslaw-rsip]

The NIH approved the Covid-19 vaccine which the founder of the mRNA technology stated it wasn’t ready for human use! I have a Naturopathic Doctor here in Canada that is much more useful than most MD’s . The supplements that my ND recommend really helped me out!

[diamond_s]

havent been replicated? Resveratrol has extended the lifespan of half a dozen species including vertebrates and mammals. And the last word was it needs the presence of certain aminos to activate sirtuins, these aminos replicate the fluorescent dye artifact that seemed necessary originally. More recently its been replicated with amino acid leucine and resveratrol.

[CharlesOffdensen]

43:05 Ubiquinol (coQ10) makes me run faster. It's like creatine for endurance sports.

[imikewillrockyou]

Dr. Stanfield is very good at bringing hype to reality. Not a fan of the shotgun biohacker approach, if there isn't robust human clinical trials he'll tell you. Highly recommend his channel for anyone who cares about their health.

[Levi-gomq]

Great interview! I like Dr. Stanfield because he's willing to change his views and beliefs when new information comes out. I may not agree with all of the things he says, but I do respect him.

[keithmarshalldds]

He should also give up the Bluetooth headphones

[drillbabydrill]

41:48 “Wear sunscreen everyday.” Yikes! How about eliminate seed oils from the diet instead.

[lostpianist]

It seems to be about use cases, timing, goals. Antioxidants shouldn't be seen as a fix all. But theyd be good after unhealthy meals, sun exposure, detox after an actual exposure to an actual toxin, etc?

[iconic]

My mother is hypertensive she is on Amlokind 5 ( amlodipine -ccb ) . Is it safe for her to take vitamin D3 k2 B12 magnesium glycinate daily?

[walterrodriguez]

One thing is to be careful what you put in your body and another thing is saying people dies due to supplements. A bit yellowish statement just to get views on the and get some coins on it

[elmajnoon]

There are a lot of different supplements that benefit different groups of people based on various genetic characteristics as well. So if you just conduct blind studies without taking that into account you won't get the full picture. There are genetic tests you can do to determine what types of supplements you might benefit from.

[davidmanning]

Supplements dont need a pharma fund agency to increase prices by a factor of 10 .. and the agency. That bared and blacklisted doctors who offered ivermectin and hydroxychloraquine and NO. WE DONT NEED SNY NORE VIOLATIONS OF First ADMRNDNENT
