Americans have the most luridly expensive urine in the world. chapter two The Commerce of Mood Over most of the last fifteen years, Big Pharma—or the medico-pharmaceutical complex, as it is sometimes called—has ranked first or at the very top on all three of Fortune's profitability measures. Starting about 1980, drug companies, which barely existed before World War II, have been the toast of Wall Street.1 In 2002, the combined profits of the top ten drug companies were greater than the profits of all the other 490 Fortune 500 companies put together.

As nutritionist Robert Crayhon says in answer to this question, "Hey, I want expensive urine! In fact, I want the most expensive urine money can buy!" What About Ephedra? A recent post on an Internet diet board asked the following question: "Do people die from taking ephedra?" The question produced the single best response I've ever seen: "No, people die because they are morons.

Doesn't Taking Vitamins Just Result in expensive urine? If it does, then why bother to drink water? You just urinate it out at the end, right? Do you see how ridiculous this concept is? The expensive urine comment, which is perpetuated by doctors who don't really understand nutrition and vitamins, implies that just because something eventually winds up in the urine, it didn't accomplish anything in the body. Why does a drug addict take drugs or an athlete take steroids? Drugs, both recreational and prescription, are detected in the urine, right?

The false notion that high-dose vitamin C is rapidly excreted from the body and creates nothing more than "expensive urine" should be dispelled. Recent studies conducted by National Institutes of Health researchers show three times greater concentration of vitamin C can be achieved through oral supplementation than previously thought possible. [Annals Internal Medicine 140: 533-37, 2004] Humans should consume at least 2,000 mg of supplemental vitamin C per day, preferably in divided doses, to prevent colon cancer.

The flawed RDA Mixed in with the research on cancer and vitamin C were studies conducted by National Institutes of Health scientists that falsely claimed that high-dose oral vitamin C is excreted and produces nothing more than "expensive urine." Data from two studies involving only 7 and 15 healthy subjects was used to establish a Recommended Daily Allowance of 90 milligrams for vitamin C. An upper limit of 1,000 milligrams of oral-dose vitamin C was proposed to avoid alleged side effects.

The same study also shows that high-dose oral vitamin C can achieve blood concentrations three times higher than previously thought possible, therefore refuting the "expensive urine" contention put forth by the Mayo Clinic scientists. [Annals Internal Medicine 140:533-7, 2004; Proceedings National Academy of Sciences 102: 13604-09, 2005] Enter Drs. Hickey and Roberts In 2004, Drs.

They are misled by food and dietary supplement labels that claim 60 milligrams of vitamin C is" 100% of the Daily Value," or by reports emanating from the National Institutes of Health that high-dose vitamin C creates nothing more than "expensive urine." In fact, a study conducted by National Institutes of Health researchers shows that blood concentrations can safely reach 2.58 times higher (220 micromole per liter of blood plasma) than previously believed possible (70-85 micromole per liter).

What Your Doctor Doesn't Know About Nutritional Medicine May Be Killing You Ray D. Strand See book keywords and concepts

Vitamins just make expensive urine." "You can get all the required nutrients by eating the right foods." If my patients persisted, I told them nutritional supplements probably would not hurt them, but they should take the cheapest ones they could find because vitamins most likely wouldn't help much either. Maybe you have heard some of these same comments from your physician. For the first twenty-three years of my clinical practice, I simply did not believe in nutritional supplements.

As I stroked my professorial beard and smiled knowingly, I told him his worthless supplements only made "expensive urine," as I was fond of saying then. While his weight loss was commendable, it wasn't going to improve the state of his blood vessels. But Big Ed made me an offer: since neither of us had anything to lose, how about we repeat his angiogram to see if anything had changed? Well, Big Ed got his quintuple bypass later that week.

We still occasionally hear that time-worn cliche that the only thing people obtain from taking supplements is "expensive urine." The beliefs that lead to such remarks reflect an incomplete understanding of human biochemistry and physiology. Perhaps if doctors better understood how nutrient supplements could work, they would be more inclined to pay attention to the research showing that they do work. The rationale for using supplements extends beyond the rather obvious fact that refined, processed foods that are grown on depleted soil are low in vitamins and minerals.

Do you see how ridiculous this concept is? The expensive urine comment, which is perpetuated by doctors who don't really understand nutrition and vitamins, implies that just because something eventually winds up in the urine, it didn't accomplish anything in the body. Why does a drug addict take drugs or an athlete take steroids? Drugs, both recreational and prescription, are detected in the urine, right? Does the fact that they're detectable in the urine mean that they didn't work? If that were the case, there's an awful lot of people wasting an awful lot of money on drugs and medications!

In fact, I want the most expensive urine money can buy!" What About Ephedra? A recent post on an Internet diet board asked the following question: "Do people die from taking ephedra?" The question produced the single best response I've ever seen: "No, people die because they are morons." When ephedra has been used in supervised weight loss research studies, it's been used in the dosage of 60 milligrams per day in three divided dosages (20 milligrams each) combined with 200 milligrams of caffeine per dose.

It's funny how the same doctors who cry "expensive urine" in response to vitamin therapy never make the same remark about their prescription drugs that are just as detectable in the urine as vitamins are! The fact that drugs—or vitamin residues—are detectable in the urine means absolutely nothing except that those substances went through the body and did their job. They didn't pass through and accomplish nothing, or else steroids wouldn't be banned by athletic organizations! The body takes what it needs, uses it, and excretes the rest.

Interview with Dr. Ray Strand, author of Death by Prescription and Releasing Fat Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

I was a typical doctor, and I thought that it would just create expensive urine or be a waste of money. But I told my wife, "Honey, you could try anything," because we were just not helping. When that happens to your family, it really hits home, being a physician. I have to admit that, within weeks, she got better. Within months, she was off of all of her medications, and within about five or six months, she was better than she had been in nine or ten years. That got my interest and caught my attention, and that’s when I started researching.

An Overview of Nutritional Supplements: expensive urine or Promising Therapy? In addition to improving one's diet and minimizing exposure to toxic chemicals, nutrient supplementation is often important for restoring and maintaining one's health. Numerous studies, described throughout this book, have shown that providing additional quantities of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, or other naturally occurring compounds can help relieve a wide range of symptoms and disorders. Many doctors cling to the belief that the typical diet contains all the nutrients a person needs to stay healthy.

Saturating the Bladder The most frequently voiced criticism about supplemental vitamin intake is that it produces "expensive urine," because water-soluble vitamins, such as vitamin C and the B vitamins, are rapidly excreted into the bladder within hours of ingestion. For years, the Life Extension Foundation has contended that these vitamins are beneficial in spite of their rapid excretion and that, moreover, it is desirable to have a bladder full of vitamins because certain vitamins inhibit chemicals that cause bladder cancer.

Death By Prescription: The Shocking Truth Behind an Overmedicated Nation Ray Strand, M.D. See book keywords and concepts

I had always dismissed vitamin supplementation as simply the ingredients for "expensive urine."This experience with my wife proved to be the launching pad for an eight-year quest to learn more about nutritional medicine, which I have come to realize is really just "true" preventive medicine. - I fully realize the impact of the disappointment many patients have with traditional medicine. As a result, a shift to alternative healing methods and a renewed interest in herbal therapies has taken place. But the medicinal qualities of herbs are not something we can treat lightly.

Empty Harvest Dr Bernard Jenson and Mark Anderson See book keywords and concepts

It is for this reason that most Americans merely rent their vitamin pills, and have the world's most expensive urine in the process. Vitamins are not meant to be eliminated in urine any more than silverware is to be thrown out with the leftovers. J. I. Rodale, the American naturalist, wrote wisely on this subject in his classic work The Complete Book of Food and Nutrition.

They announced that supplements did little more than create expensive urine (because the body excretes any amount of nutrient that it doesn't need). They insisted that there were no such things as immune system stimulants. And they scoffed at the very notion of "brain foods." Scientific research has since proven that many vitamin and mineral supplements have real value in preventing and treating disease, when taken in doses higher than the Daily Values. Studies have also concluded that echinacea and other herbs are, in fact, immune stimulants.

The Vitamin Revolution in Health Care Michael Janson, M.D. See book keywords and concepts

Sometimes, antagonists to the use of dietary supplements claim that the extra nutrients only lead to "expensive urine" because extra amounts of most vitamins are excreted by the kidneys. This is irrelevant, since the important issue is not the ultimate fate of the substances, but what they do while they are on their way through the body and how many tissues they heal—including the urinary tract.

The Green Pharmacy Anti-Aging Prescriptions: Herbs, Foods, and Natural Formulas to Keep You Young James A. Duke, Ph.D. See book keywords and concepts

Mainstream medicine used to challenge this advice, saying that supplements do little more than create expensive urine. (This is a reference to the fact that the body excretes any amount of a nutrient that it can't use.) Fortunately, most mainstream M.D.'s have come around to the view that supplements are helpful, even if you don't have a deficiency disease such as scurvy or beriberi. The big turnaround came in the early 1990s, when research showed that vitamin E could reduce heart attack risk by about 40 percent. That impressed a lot of doctors.
