[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Outside Vitamin D, there is not a lot of data supporting supplements. They are not regulated. You have no idea what you are actually getting. Eat a well-balanced diet with lots of fruits and vegetables.[/quote]

lol you have no idea what you are talking about. Like, pharma is “well regulated?” get out of here. [/quote]

Are you crazy? Yes, pharma is extremely tightly regulated. They can’t even do a clinical trial in the USA without scientific give regulatory review and approval let alone market anything.[/quote]

NP. Clearly you didn’t read Empire of Pain. It’s been pay to play for awhile, in many cases.

Re supplements: For 3 years I had hpv that wouldn’t clear, even after having leep. I started taking lysine for a year, and then magically the cells were cleared. So, we can say that supplements don’t work, or we can try them and re-test or see if symptoms improve. Or, we can say my experience was purely a placebo.

I agree with so many of you who are frustrated with care in perimenopause. [/quote]

Okay well your case of one who took a supplement for a year during which time an infection that tends to clear naturally cleared is definitely sound evidence that supplements work for HPV in a randomized controlled trial.

But, see that’s exactly what so many doctors think (and say out loud). I didn’t say in my post that it was clear in all cases. Nor, am I trying to make a larger point about lysine wrt HPV. I’m responding to the pp who said there’s no data that supplements work outside of Vitamin D. People take supplements that often work for them, no clinical trial needed.

But, sure continue your rampant dismissal of everyone here. Just ask yourself what’s your gain from doing it? [/quote]

There’s no evidence that Vitamin D works either unfortunately.

As for your comment, your anecdote is not data. That’s why it has no bearing on what doctors tell patients, and is not widely applicable.[/quote]
