The FDA warning said for routine ailments like sinus infections, bronchitis, and common urinary tract infections, the risks outweigh the benefits.

If Only We Hadn't Listened to the Quack Oncologist, My Husband Would Still be Alive(Edited)

                               
We should never have listened to the Quack my husband was referred to by his PCP, but the Quack was an Oncologist at the Hospital we always trusted. The Hospital that ultimately killed him. The Hospital I wouldn't send my worst enemy to. All trust is gone.
The Quack laughed when we first walked in with a list of vitamin's my husband was taking. He thought it was a big joke that everyone coming to see him had turned to vitamins. First thing he did was tell my husband to stop taking them. That they might have aspirin in them and in case he had to have surgery they would thin out his blood. My husband never had surgery and was even denied a feeding tube, because we were told he couldn't have surgery. My husband did as he was told and stopped taking the vitamins. He should never have listened to the quack. He felt so much better taking them. He had no weakness and wasn't in much pain at all. He had a cold that wouldn't go away, which is why he went to see his PCP in the first place. Once he stopped taking the vitamins, his health took a turn for the worse. And to top it all off, once he was admitted for the pain and weakness he was now experiencing, he was given a shot in his stomach every day to stop his blood from clotting. What sense did that make? Were Big Pharma's products supposed to be better than Natural Vitamins? No, in fact they  helped cause my husband's death.
To anybody and everybody out there, beware of what the Quack Doctor's tell you. The vitamins were helping my husband and he should have staid on them.  I'm quite sure he would still be alive today.
Watch out for Quack Oncologist's who make fake diagnoses, who are just in it for the money and care nothing about the patient. Vitamin's WORK and so does CBD oil.

Three years ago, on December 10, 2015, Québec’s euthanasia program went into effect. Unlike the federal law, Québec provides euthanasia upon request to eligible persons, as well as “Continuous Palliative Sedation” without the eligibility requirements and safeguards connected to a euthanasia request.

U.S. life expectancy declines again, a dismal trend not seen since World War I

Between drug overdoses and Hospice/Palliative care committing ILLEGAL Stealth Euthanasia, I'm NOT surprised!

Life expectancy in the United States declined again in 2017, the government said Thursday in a bleak series of reports that showed a nation still in the grip of escalating drug and suicide crises.

The data continued the longest sustained decline in expected life span at birth in a century, an appalling performance not seen in the United States since 1915 through 1918. That four-year period included World War I and a flu pandemic that killed 675,000 people in the United States and perhaps 50 million worldwide.
