When you wish a 105-year-old HAPPY BIRTHDAY don't assume that he wants to be hacked to death with a machete for, obviously, people have asked him a 100 times about his birthday wishes and he hasn't said that he wanted to be hacked to death with a machete before. Don't hate him because he lives in a mansion & eats dog food because he loves it whilst remembering that: ALL anorexics are chronically deficient in vitamin B3 (niacin). There is a blood test to determine niacin levels (although it is rarely ordered). Anorexia (food aversion/food phobia) is a symptom of the B3 vitamin-deficiency disease pellagra. Diseases are marketed in the West with ad campaigns befitting socks, cars, magazines, peanut butter, lawn mowers, computer games & shampoo. Many diseases & syndromes today (lupus, A.I.D.S., H.I.V., Parkinson's, etc.) are simply re-branded symptoms of well-documented vitamin & mineral deficits. There are 2 dozen B vitamins. B vitamins are water soluble. They have carry known toxicity. An extreme overdose of a B vitamin, on an empty stomach, causes nausea. Scurvy carries a myriad of disparate symptoms. Each symptom feeds a market for specialized, expensive, complicated treatments from surgery to salves to prosthetics to psychological counseling. The cure for scurvy is vitamin C. There is no scurvy cure except vitamin C. For thousands of years scurvy has been ineffectually treated by ignorant (& willfully ignorant) doctors. Millions of patients die needlessly in the care of doctors who respectfully disagree with naturopaths regarding the nutritional aspects of disease states. Treating the symptoms of a metabolic disease (whether it be beriberi, scurvy, pellagra, pernicious anemia, night blindness or cancer) doesn't address the cause of the metabolic disease.
