For my diagnosis of MCL that is.
For years, prior to my diagnosis with MCL, I had taken mega doses of vitamin C (2000 mg/day), along with vitamins E and D, and calcium, solely based on the supposed research of Linus Pauling suggesting it would prevent cancer.
It wasn't until shortly after my diagnosis with MCL that I started reading about the hazards of taking vitamins and supplements, and while I didn’t stop immediately, it wasn't very long afterwards that I came to the realization, it was highly likely all those vitamins and supplements were, at the very least, a contributing factor to my diagnosis.
Now, I can proudly say I have been vitamin and supplement free for the past 10+ years, and haven't experienced any undesired consequences. (At least none that I am aware of.)
It's just too bad this article in The Atlantic didn't come out long before my diagnosis.
I'm sure I would have stopped taking them a lot sooner, had I learned about all the contradictory evidence available at the same time Linus Pauling was receiving so much notoriety promoting the health benefits of vitamin C and other supplements. Who knows, I might even have even managed to avoid bypass surgery.
I just hope that if all my previous posts, indicating the hazards of the taking vitamins and supplements (see sidebar) hasn't been enough to convince you of the dangers yet, just maybe this article will do the trick.
