Attacks on DSHEA Now!

Whenever the truth about the health benefits of natural therapies spreads and starts to threaten the pharmaceutical investment “business with disease,” the pharma-cartel launches a global scare campaign with the goal of discrediting natural, non-patentable therapies. Over the years, these deceptive PR campaigns included false information about alleged vitamin side effects ranging from cancer to mental disorders.

If even one of these “pharma fairy tales” were true, we would be rather alone on Planet Earth: most other living beings would have been extinct long ago because they produce high amounts of vitamin C in their own bodies while enjoying excellent health.
