"RFK Jr. told Fox earlier this month that he was delivering vitamin A to measles-stricken communities in West Texas immediately. But a Texas health official told The Atlantic that no doses of vitamin A ever arrived at the state health department—not because RFK Jr. broke his promise, but because Texas doctors didn’t want them."

#Ivermectin was found to help #COVID patients...

patients with parasites

#Ignorance spread "the cure" without the whole picture

Likewise, #VitaminA was found to help #Measles patients...

patients with vitamin A deficiency

And so, ignorance once again:

"West #Texas children treated for vitamin A toxicity as #medical #disinformation spreads alongside measles outbreak"

People think they know better than #scientists and #doctors, and harm themselves and their children

RFK Jr's HHS has hired fake doctor, huckster, and vaccine denier David Greer to study the long disproven link between vaccines and autism.

Greer has been disciplined for practicing medicine without a license. He has no medical degree or any kind of science degree that would qualify him to study this topic.

Meanwhile, numerous kids are arriving at Texas emergency rooms with liver damage from vitamin A overdoses their parents have given them in an antivax measles hysteria created by RFKJr, himself, who called on parents to give their kids the vitamin (which has no efficacy in preventing or curing measles), in lieu of the vaccine, (which provides 97% of recipients complete lifetime immunity from measles with virtually 0 risk of dangerous side effects, and 0 chance of Autism.)

@luckytran Your daily reminder not to eat #polarbear liver due to its very high #vitaminA content. (other reasons may apply)
mcgill.ca/oss/article/nutritio

Office for Science and SocietyIs it true that you cannot eat polar bear liver?You could eat it. If you are lucky, you would live to regret it. That's because the liver could be lethal! You could overdose on retinol! That isn’t some bizarre toxin, retinol is just the chemical name for a form of vitamin A. Polar bears are carnivores, feeding mostly on seals. Lots of seals. Their hearty appetite is due to their need to accumulate lots of fat for insulation against the cold. Seals are rich in blubber. And where does their fat come from? They feed on fish, squid, krill and other sea creatures which in turn feed on various types of plants ranging from seaweed to algae. These plants contain various carotenoids that concentrate up the food chain and serve as precursors for vitamin A. Since vitamin A is fat-soluble, it builds up in fatty tissue, particularly the liver. Polar bears have lots of fatty tissue, so they accumulate lots of vitamin A, particularly in their liver. Like virtually any substance, vitamin A can be toxic in high doses. But polar bears have evolved to be unaffected by the higher doses of vitamin A, because its accumulation is a consequence of their need for a high-fat diet. Humans do not require the same degree of insulation, so we have not had the need to eat as much fat as polar bears, although some people do give it a gallant effort. A blood level of vitamin A that does not bother a polar bear can kill a human. And it has. Arctic explorers have died when due to a scarcity of food they had to resort to hunting polar bears. Vitamin A is a classic example of a substance that is beneficial in small doses and toxic in higher doses. It is required by the body for a variety of purposes. It plays an important role in vision, bone growth, reproduction, immune activity, cell division and cell differentiation, the process by which a stem cell becomes a brain, muscle, lung blood or other specific cell. But amounts are important. While vitamin A is needed in small doses for all these bodily processes, in larger amounts it interferes with them. The result can be blurred vision, loss of hair, infections, birth defects and death. Outside of consuming polar bear liver or going crazy with supplements, an overdose of vitamin A is not an issue. Underdosing is a greater concern. There are two possibilities for meeting our vitamin A needs. Meat contains vitamin A, with liver containing the most. So do eggs and milk. Most non-fat milk products are fortified with vitamin A to replace the amount lost when fat is removed. Some cereals are also fortified. But it is not necessary to eat animal or fortified products to meet our vitamin A needs. We can do so by eating plant products in spite of the fact that no plant contains vitamin A. That seems to be a conundrum. While it is true that plants have no vitamin A, they do contain compounds called carotenoids, that the body can convert to vitamin A. Beta-carotene, found in the likes of carrots, spinach, cantaloupe, papaya, mango and oatmeal, is a common precursor for vitamin A. And you do not have to worry about overdosing on vitamin A by eating too many carrots. When enough vitamin A has been stored in our liver, our bodies stop converting beta-carotene to retinol. The worst that can happen with a carrot overdose is that the skin can turn a yellow-orange colour. Fortunately, it’s reversible. @JoeSchwarcz

Don’t fall for this misleading myth about vitamin A and measles

Research does show that vitamin A can help children with deficiencies after they’re infected with measles, but the vast majority of children in the United States do not fall into that category. To suggest that vitamins, good nutrition or other remedies can prevent measles is misleading and dangerous. The immune system simply doesn’t work that way. #VitaminA #Measles

Die Tabelle listet verschiedene Vitamine (A, B1, B2, B3, B6, B9, B12, C, D, E) sowie Mineralstoffe (Eisen, Jod mit und ohne Jodsalz, Kalium, Kalzium, Magnesium, Zink) auf.

Health is all about energy.
Absolutely intriguing information – this guy has knowledge that will make you think and ponder for days. His reasoning and logic is incredible and sound, better yet, he has the research to back it up. Morley Robbins research is contrarian to the general belief about health and healing, he deep dives into science and research to solve the modern day most wide-spread health issue - why are so many fatigued? Tackling common misunderstandings about iron and anemia, explaining the super importance of copper and vitamin A, showing why magnesium is so needed, so much to learn.
Yes it do get technical and there is a lot of words you have not heard before being used, but hang on, the journey into the cell and the mitochondria will open your understanding of why so many people feel so tired and have health issues.

Hierarchy of reactive oxygen species – by Gutteridge and Hallowell:
A natural bi-product of metabolism that we want to stop from converting from reactive oxygen species to oxidative stress by having our iron and copper levels more balanced. Copper cleans the exhaust of iron and oxygen.

Reactive oxygen species is called stage one
Oxidative stress is called stage two
Even more oxidative stress lead to Inflammation and that is called stage three
Accumulation of so much oxidative stress lead to cytotoxicity or cancer and is called stage four

This builds on the revelation from Otto Warburgs research on cancer as a metabolic disease – “the Warburg effect” - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Hei… which in recent time is promoted by Dr. Thomas Seyfried. Morley Robbins takes this idea even further and explains why the breakdown of the cellular respiratory system happen through his understanding of copper, iron, oxygen and retinol.

Strong.Sistas | InvidiousIron Overload / You're NOT Anemic | The Root Cause w/ Morley Robbins Pt. 1We had the pleasure to chat with Morley Robbins, the founder of The Root Cause Protocol. Morley's come to believe that "oxidative stress" (inflammation) is the root cause of all disease, and the root cause of oxidative stress is "cellular dysfunction" which is caused by an imbalance of 1) Magnesium 2) Copper and 3) Iron. In this conversation, Morley (the "Magnesium Man") reviews the basics of "iron overload" as he begins to paint the picture of how these minerals have a very delicate relationship, and how we can start taking back control of our own health. Morley also provides explanation for why he believes anemia is not actually caused by "iron deficiency". This is part 1 of a multiple video series so stay tuned for next video where we'll discuss all things magnesium.
