1. I met Dr. Tamara at an alternative medical meeting in December 2023.
We laughed our way through it. I wrote a post about my adventures, and for your amusement, I reproduced it here:
I WENT TO VEGAS AND SNUCK INTO AN ALTERNATIVE DOCTOR MEETING
I signed in using a fake name and wearing a mask.
I had attended the show once before with my friend Felix. He told me the group was “the quackos selling to the whackos.” Although I was skeptical of them at first, once I got inside this rotating thing, I had no further doubts.
I asked someone I met at the conference, “How much of this is nonsense?” and he replied, “At least 75 percent.” He was exaggerating, but there was a lot of hype. For example, a beautiful saleswoman who pretended I was attractive asked me a dozen times to buy a rounded plastic coffin with red lights inside. It was $130,000—but I would, of course, get a discount.
You can read the whole post at the link above.
2. Who are we to tell you about alternative medicine?
If you don’t have the background, our concepts may seem foreign, so please reserve judgment until you’ve had a chance to study the scene.
Tamara Santa Ana, DC, is a brilliant academic functional physician with mentors who include the internationally leading alternative physicians. She holds a medical degree and has completed over 10,000 hours of subsequent training. She continually studies, is an absolute geek about what she does, and is always teaching me more. She has a phenomenal history of patient successes with conditions ranging from neurological diseases to cancer. Despite backgrounds like this, chiropractors and other non-MD providers are defamed by the mainstream and even forbidden to use the word “cure” in many states.
When I understood her accomplishments, I made her my friend. She is still in practice and can offer you valuable advice in person or virtually.
As for me, I fancy myself a George Plimpton-style* amateur of alternative medicine. I am 71 and have been writing about mainstream medical corruption since before I retired at 65. Over the past few years, I have been intensely studying alternative medicine. I am convinced that if Joe Tippens could cure his metastatic cancer, I can do the same with my Parkinson’s.
I had four years of postgraduate training, multiple specialty board certifications, and a lifetime of medical experience. Unfortunately, I primarily studied lies, and my mind became stuffed with “facts” that I had to unlearn. As I understood the power of functional approaches, I also found that natural cures were being suppressed by psychopathic corporate people who cared nothing about human suffering and death. Learning that I was wrong was the most agonizing thing I’ve ever done, but I now regard my ability to change my mind as a superpower. If you come with me, I will teach you how to do it.
*Plimpton was a beloved journalist who tried out for professional athletic teams and wrote about it. He was a good athlete but not a professional; he was tolerated because of his writing. He also acted in a Western, performed a comedy act at Caesars Palace, and played with the New York Philharmonic.
3. Surviving Supplement World
Supplementing hormones never causes stomach upset and often produces the most dramatic improvements of all. For an introduction, see my book Hormone Secrets HERE and my articles, Starting hormone replacement without a doctor, and We all need testosterone to fight the zombies in our lives.
Diet basics include whole, balanced foods, avoiding seed oils, packaged foods, and addictive sugars like high-fructose corn syrup, as well as eliminating carcinogenic artificial sugars, such as those found in Diet Coke. Avoiding junk food and even possibly bread is also beneficial.
Increase your intake of saturated fats, such as butter, beef fat, and cream cheese, to possibly as high as 50% of your daily calories. Monounsaturated fats, such as those found in extra-virgin olive oil and coconut oil, contribute to this total and are also beneficial. If you consume 75 percent of your calories from fat, you are likely already in healthy ketosis. This holds even if you consume some carbohydrates, and your metabolic state will be similar to a person on a carnivore or ketogenic diet. Avoiding food from about 7 PM to 8 or 9 AM has complementary effects. If you get hungry, you can eat a little beef with butter.
Dr. Tamara uses sophisticated testing to recommend targeted nutrients. Without help like this, the rest of us have to guess, but taking 30 supplements a day ruins your life—I know; I tried it. Not only does your stomach rebel, but your routine turns into an obsessive quest to swallow things you barely remember. The “Vitamins and minerals in order of importance” chapter above lays out the critical nutrients most people need.
Vitamin D, for example, is the most vital supplement. Blood levels are necessary to determine the optimal amount, and the doses needed to achieve blood levels near the desired 100 ng/dL vary. Costco D supplements contain only 3,000 International Units; you need capsules with 50,000 IUs, and some people require two or three of these twice a week to get decent levels.
These days, many of us experience stomach complaints that experts attribute to a condition known as a “leaky gut.” I thought mine was due to too many darn supplements. Probiotic pills containing “good” bacteria can be beneficial, and many are available. However, using fermented foods like kefir (the best), kimchi, sauerkraut, and kombucha is a natural remedy that can eliminate pills from your list. Each of these introduces a different spectrum of healthy bacteria into your intestine. While the species in the fermented foods themselves do not typically establish long-term residence in the GI tract, by an uncertain mechanism, they somehow encourage the restoration of healthy bacterial species. Dr. William Davis says that these foods are more effective than commercial probiotics.
When you have pared your supplements down to fewer than 15, you may be able to keep up with them. Here is how:
-
Take them with food. Magnesium, GlyNAC, and DMSO in water are usually safe to take on an empty stomach, however.
-
I learned a trick from a friend who worked for a supplement company. I watched her take nearly 30 pills throughout our lunch by eating a few bites, then taking a few.
-
Drinking kefir with supplements helps.
Dr. Tamara’s best pearl is that if you get sick of the whole thing, take a day or a week off, or do it every other day, but don’t give up. I am a compulsive personality and tend to try to do too much, so I sometimes feel best after a break.
Counterpoint: As I reflect on the process, I occasionally wonder if supplements are like holding a talisman—a magic icon thought to bring good fortune—up in front of me. Then I come to my senses and trust the science (ha).
4. How alternative doctors think
MDs conceptualize people as machines that need a little lubricant or a new part, and claim their drugs work like auto repair. Functional physicians, on the other hand, recognize that human systems are complex beyond imagination and that all a doctor can hope to do is support the terrain, allowing the body to repair itself. This terrain theory is the idea that nutritional and lifestyle improvements have the most profound effects and that drugs often introduce unexpected consequences.
Doctor-caused diseases are the most severe, so always address them first.
The primary cause of today’s health decline is “treatment” provided by doctors, and our profession created each calamity. Traditional medicine claims this is heresy.
The following must be addressed before testing and therapy. Before a history and physical exam. Before even getting to know the patient. These issues are the priority for any knowledgeable physician.
I ranked the following in order of the health damage they create.
-
Vaccines, especially the covidvax. These increased mortality, cut live birth rates, doubled or tripled spontaneous abortions, and vastly increased chronic disease rates. Vaccines put people at risk for turbocancer, neurological diseases, and a lot else. Knowing your patient’s vaccine status, counseling them against further vaccinations of any kind, and being prepared to treat them with a chlorine dioxide program immediately are your first considerations—with any patient.
Notes:
a) For a brutal introduction to how vaccines have been sold to us, see Pierre Kory’s post about how Sudden Infant Death Syndrome was invented and promoted to conceal the babies murdered by the vax program. He cites mortality data published in 2021 that were intentionally excluded from mainstream medical publications.
b) Although they contain other poisons, vaccine toxicity has historically been primarily mercury. This was concealed by claiming it was a necessary “adjuvant” to stimulate the immune system and labeling it “thimerosal,” which is half mercury. After an outcry, mercury was partly—but not entirely—eliminated from the poison shots. Aluminum, which is nearly as toxic, was added instead after about 2000.
-
Assaults on us by dentists. Their most malignant threat is root canals. These are killers; they are universally infected, spread bacterial and inflammatory disease throughout the body, but are nearly all asymptomatic. They cause cancers and fatal “autoimmune” diseases of unknown origins. Our stupid, unethical dentists have burdened about half of Europeans and Americans with root canals, and most of the sins stemming from these have been known for over 50 years.
Dentists still use mercury in many of their fillings and root canals. This is the second most toxic non-radioactive metal after arsenic, and it is being placed in the most reactive area of the body. Within 20 years, half of this poison dissolves and goes to the brain, bones, and muscles, causing neurological diseases and many others. The half-life until it is gone from the body is over 30 years. Much of this has been common knowledge for a century.
Dentists also assert that fluoride is safe and beneficial, recommending fluoridated water and dental products that contain fluoride. This is a neurotoxin that should never be placed inside your body. Robust, blinded studies prove that women who are exposed to it during pregnancy have kids whose intellects are permanently damaged by at least half a standard deviation.
Note: Mercury is causal for both 1) and 2). Once you see this, it’s hard to imagine, given recent events, that it wasn’t done purposefully. I have been a victim of both programs.
-
Psychiatric drugs. One in five Americans has been convinced to take these. They cause addiction, suicide, homicide, and brain damage, but Big Pharma’s promotion never stops. No randomized controlled study has ever proven that any of them work, which means they do not, and prescribing them is therefore unethical. Low-dose oral ketamine can help you kick them; see my post HERE. Know your patients’ psychiatric medication list, and you know enemy # 3.
-
Traditional cancer care is the most expensive medical field and a sick joke. Using “standard of care” chemo, only people with about eight types of cancer survive even a day longer. Radiation therapy is used promiscuously, but it prolongs life for just a single cancer. These damaging treatments were FDA-approved because of tumor size reduction, which is a medical hoax. For the most part, getting your patients off this toxic, costly nonsense is the only way out for them. I described things that work in my chapter, “How to cure cancer in your kitchen with online purchases.”

6. Natural medicine resources
Schedule a Consultation
Tamara Santa Ana, DC, estimates that you will receive 50 to 60% of the potential health benefits by simply taking some of her recommended Fullscript supplements described below. However, supervision is helpful. She will conduct a comprehensive evaluation and follow-up to adjust your treatment.
Advice about choosing a PEMF machine or brief questions about supplements is free. Call her office at (540) 462-7750, email her at [email protected], or use her patient portal HERE. You may also book as a new patient for $150 for the first hour. These sessions provide personalized recommendations and safety oversight, maximizing results while preventing potential complications.
A few of Tamara’s protocols
Memory Loss
Tamara Santa Ana: Memory complaints flood functional medicine practices, and they often stem from thyroid dysfunction.
The brain consists of sixty percent fatty acids by dry weight, requiring specific nutritional support. Fatty acids, particularly DHA, are essential nutrients for the brain. Phosphatidylserine, taken at 300 milligrams daily, helps keep cell membranes flexible, allowing messages to pass through the brain more easily. This nutrient has been proven effective in addressing age-related memory decline and, in some cases, reversing early dementia.
Acetyl-L-carnitine crosses the blood-brain barrier, helping brain cells produce energy more efficiently. This form differs from regular L-carnitine and is specifically designed to target neurological function. Neurotransmitter testing often reveals acetylcholine deficiencies that directly impair memory formation.
Lion’s Mane mushroom stimulates the growth of new brain neuronal connections and helps the brain repair itself. Despite fears about fungal supplements, therapeutic mushrooms reduce cancer risk by forty percent when consumed daily.
Ginkgo biloba improves brain function, although concerns about bleeding exist. The risk is lower than commonly believed, and proper patient monitoring allows the safe use of this medication. Curcumin with piperine or liposomal forms fights brain inflammation at 500-1000 milligrams daily.
Fatigue Management
Robert Yoho: Iodine deficiency affects over half the population, making it the lowest-hanging fruit in alternative medicine. The conspiracy against proper iodine dosing leaves millions unnecessarily depleted. People can safely supplement with iodine without testing, as iodine deficiency is so common.
Tamara Santa Ana: Patients with genetic variations or conversion problems cannot break down iodine from inorganic to organic forms. Nascent iodine offers the most palatable option, although other forms are effective as well.
Selenium must accompany iodine as a natural thyroid protectant. L-tyrosine works synergistically with iodine to create thyroid hormones that boost energy levels.
CoQ10 revives mitochondria, becoming essential for anyone taking statin drugs that interfere with natural CoQ10 production. B vitamins function as spark plugs for the body’s engine, preventing fatigue regardless of sleep duration.
Robert Yoho: Magnesium ranks as the second most important supplement after vitamin D. Over half of us suffer magnesium deficiency to some degree. Blood tests cannot measure magnesium because it resides inside cells, making supplementation necessary for almost everyone. The only limit comes from potential diarrhea with excessive doses.
Tamara Santa Ana: Magnesium threonate crosses the blood-brain barrier best, followed by glycinate for stomach tolerance. Magnesium activates GABA receptors for calming effects and helps with sleep, muscle function, and energy production. Heart rate variability testing reveals that low magnesium correlates with high insulin levels, as magnesium deficiency impairs insulin utilization.
Blood Sugar Regulation
Blood sugar issues exist on a spectrum rather than as separate conditions. The body’s glucose management requires specific nutritional support to prevent diabetes progression.
Tamara Santa Ana: Chromium stands as the most essential nutrient for blood sugar control. Chromium complex (trivalent chromium) proves superior to chromium picolinate, which produces problematic acids. This food-based form helps process carbohydrates and improves glucose tolerance in a safe manner.
Magnesium plays a crucial role in glucose metabolism, making it the second essential nutrient for blood sugar management.
Alpha lipoic acid mimics insulin action and reduces free radical stress. Quality sourcing matters, with European sources generally superior to Eastern suppliers. The late Dr. Burton Berkson pioneered lipoic acid use after saving mushroom poisoning victims whom hospitals had condemned to die. Hospital doctors became angry when their death predictions failed, warning Berkson against future interventions.
Robert Yoho: Berkson couldn’t watch people die and continued using lipoic acid despite professional threats. His work revealed the power of lipoic acid in preventing neuropathy and protecting the liver. HERE is where to buy it, and HERE is his book.
Berberine activates the same pathway as metformin, without causing B12 depletion or other side effects associated with other drugs. Head-to-head trials have demonstrated that berberine is more effective than metformin in regulating blood sugar levels.
Glucose Balance PX combines multiple nutrients in one product, reducing pill burden while providing liver support essential for blood sugar regulation.
Stress and Anxiety Management
Tamara Santa Ana: Magnesium threonate and glycinate top the stress protocol by activating GABA receptors for nervous system calming. Stress increases cortisol production, and magnesium helps control this response while improving sleep and muscle relaxation. Magnesium earned the nickname “nature’s tranquilizer” for good reason.
L-theanine provides calming alertness without sedation by balancing the neurotransmitters GABA (which promotes calmness) and glutamate (which is excitatory). This balance prevents overstimulation while maintaining mental clarity.
Ashwagandha modulates the entire stress axis, including the hypothalamus, pituitary, and adrenals, thereby lowering cortisol levels and promoting better sleep. Despite its terrible taste in liquid form, capsules provide effective stress relief.
B complex vitamins support adrenal function, the body’s energy, and stress organs. They enhance nervous system function and improve energy during fight-or-flight responses.
EPA and DHA fatty acids support mood, although long-term use of fish oil can lead to GLA deficiency. Dr. Mark Houston developed fish oil rich in GLA to help prevent this problem.
GABA serves as the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter with direct calming effects. Sublingual or liposomal versions are most effective for stress relief.
Sleep Optimization
Robert Yoho: Taking 200-400 milligrams of magnesium before bed provides the foundation. Melatonin works effectively at doses ranging from half a milligram to three milligrams; however, new research suggests that doses of 180-200 milligrams may be more beneficial for preventing cancer metastasis and protecting against macular degeneration. The hormone lasts only one hour in the body, but some experience morning grogginess that disappears after a month of consistent use.
L-theanine, chamomile, and valerian root offer additional sleep support. Glycine emerges as a potential secret weapon, now qualifying as an essential nutrient. Doses of three to ten grams have been proven safe and effective.
GlyNac (a combination of glycine and N-acetylcysteine) boosts energy and serves as a nootropic to enhance performance. Glycine tastes decent compared to other powders, while cysteine tastes terrible.
Tamara Santa Ana: Magnesium threonate works best for sleep because it crosses the blood-brain barrier. Glycinate follows as the second choice due to stomach tolerance. Glycine helps lower body temperature, promoting deeper sleep and improving sleep quality. Taking magnesium and glycine together provides the most effective sleep protocol.
Digestive Health Support
Tamara Santa Ana: Digestive enzyme production diminishes after age forty to fifty, changing the microbiome and reducing nutrient absorption. Rather than taking multiple supplements, digestive enzymes alone often provide significant improvements.
Digestive health requires two components: a functioning microbiome and adequate digestive enzymes. Standard Process Zypan exemplifies high-quality enzyme supplementation for protein digestion.
L-glutamine heals the gut lining safely, thereby strengthening the barrier between the intestines and the bloodstream. The gut lining measures only one epithelial cell thick, making it vulnerable to damage.
Probiotics replenish beneficial bacteria, featuring seven to eight different strains that provide optimal diversity. Rotating different probiotic formulas every few weeks improves clinical results.
Zinc heals damaged gut lining while omega-3 fatty acids reduce intestinal inflammation. This combination addresses both structural repair and inflammatory control.
Cardiovascular Support Protocol
Tamara Santa Ana: Dr. Steven Sinatra, the late cardiologist, identified five essential nutrients for heart failure when asked directly at a medical conference.
L-carnitine helps the heart generate energy by transporting fatty acids into the mitochondria. This differs from acetyl-L-carnitine, which is used for brain support. L-carnitine directly improves the heart’s pumping ability.
D-ribose builds energy storage as ATP. Combined with L-carnitine, these nutrients provide exceptional heart support for individuals experiencing cardiac fatigue or exercise intolerance.
Magnesium calms the heart, helps regulate arrhythmias, reduces inflammation in blood vessels, and supports a healthy blood pressure. Magnesium deficiency increases the risk of heart disease death by seventy percent.
CoQ10 functions as the heart’s spark plug, enhancing cardiac function. Statins deplete CoQ10, causing the fatigue that makes patients barely able to lift their feet.
Robert Yoho: European countries require CoQ10 supplementation when prescribing statins, recognizing the depletion problem. American medicine often ignores this requirement.
Vitamin K2-7 prevents calcium buildup in arterial plaque. Taking vitamin D3 without K2 increases the risk of cardiovascular death by 200 percent. K2 makes blood vessels more elastic and reduces the risk of cancer by twenty percent through its anti-cancer properties.
Hypothyroidism Management
Tamara Santa Ana: Iodine serves as the raw material for the production of T4 and T3 hormones. Hashimoto’s and other autoimmune thyroid conditions require caution with iodine, though most patients benefit from careful introduction.
Blood work often fails to assess thyroid function accurately. Patients with suspected hypothyroidism usually improve dramatically with nutritional thyroid support, revealing the limitations of standard testing.
Professional Testing and Monitoring
Tamara Santa Ana: I utilize multiple scanning technologies to provide insights that are impossible through traditional blood work. I can use some of these remotely.
-
The ZYTO scan, used by many medical doctors in complementary medicine, offers foundational assessment tools.
-
The AO scan works by analyzing the brain, generating 29 pages of data about the patient’s status.
-
The oligoscan utilizes spectrophotometry to measure cellular mineral content, revealing deficiencies that are invisible to blood tests.
-
Heart rate variability testing consistently demonstrates the connection between magnesium and insulin, with low magnesium levels correlating with poor insulin utilization.
The 60 Percent Solution
Robert Yoho: Patients can achieve approximately 50 to 60 percent improvement by simply following the supplement protocols without professional supervision. This makes functional medicine accessible to people with limited resources who cannot afford consultation fees.
Tamara Santa Ana: Professional consultation optimizes the remaining half through personalized testing, dosage adjustments, and careful monitoring.
For those seeking professional guidance, I offer complimentary 30-minute consultations for new patients. Full consultations cost $150 for the first hour.
People on a budget can access the Fullscript supplement store, purchase some of these nutrients, and achieve meaningful results. Professional consultation provides the remaining optimization.
Starting with one or two supplements prevents overwhelming patients while allowing assessment of individual responses. Introducing nutrients slowly, sometimes at half doses, ensures safe progression and identifies potential sensitivities.
I schedule follow-up appointments about every two months unless urgent conditions necessitate more frequent monitoring. This schedule allows for adequate time to assess the effects of nutrients while maintaining safety oversight.
Quality, safety, and cost
Dr. Tamara: Professional-grade supplements undergo rigorous testing for molds, heavy metals, and contaminants that pharmacy products may contain. Temperature-controlled storage protects probiotics and sensitive nutrients from degradation.
Fullscript offers professional-quality supplements at a 15% discount compared to retail prices.
Tamara Santa Ana: Why do I do this work?
Nutrition offers near-miraculous healing potential when applied correctly, under the guidance of professionals, and with the use of high-quality supplements.
Patients require individual assessment rather than one-size-fits-all protocols. The goal is to find the proper nutrients for each person rather than prescribing maximum supplements. Testing and careful monitoring every few months guide successful treatment while minimizing unnecessary interventions.
I offer complimentary consultations because nutrition truly works as a miracle when applied correctly. I’ll address any questions I can answer without pressure to continue. My passion drives this work; I’ve witnessed many people recover their health through proper nutrition, and I want to share my knowledge.
7. Appendix: The Apocalypse Almanac is a mini-textbook of natural cures.
It’s linked at the top of each of my posts. I provide a whirlwind tour of the medical battlefield, describing the treatments and products that should replace most “healthcare.”
Almost everything is cheapest on Amazon, and the items there are the most economical I could find. For example, the “The Fullscript Supplement Store” (Chapter 11 of the Almanac, or see below) offers the best available supplements, but with the discount, they remain an excellent value. They have a reputation for purity, and some are unique.
Alternative medicine is unlike traditional medicine. To benefit, you must study instead of having blind faith in your “provider.” Start by sampling any chapter from the Apocalypse Almanac Table of Contents below and then work your way through the rest. I made some of it less serious so you would enjoy reading.

” If you consume 75 percent of your calories from fat, you are likely already in healthy ketosis”
Yes..because your input is low in protein and carbs.
But some people mis-understand the use of fat and ketosis.
Technically..you could be in ketosis with zero fat intake(not that you want to do that of course due to satiety/vitamins/minerals found in fat)
The only reason high fat intake is associated with ketosis procedures is you have limited your intake of protein and carbs to enter/stay in ketosis.
And to achieve satiation you have no other food group other than fat…which does not kick someone out of ketosis..
There is actually no question that ketosis is useful for a wide variety of chronic conditions.
However it is not sustainable long term and is a dismal failure from the perspective of dietary advice because of this.. Keto is not a diet (Latin from the word Dietus) however it is common parlance.
I hear ya.
I would never bother unless I had an illness that required increased ketone levels for energy rather than glucose.
I think itu2019s too often promoted as a panacea for everything.
Have been in the trenches many decades. Similar to the glyphosate “gluten” gremlin… The good news is that the body is very tolerant and “wants” to heal itself
Thank you for good overview of supplements. I take supplements but am kind of hit-or-miss about it. I run out of certain ones and need to order some now.
Last night when about to fall asleep I noticed I had some prolonged myoclonal jerks and that is a symptom I have not had in a long time and I surmise it has to do with not taking certain kind of supplement since I ran out of a few.
It would be great if I could take one high-powered mineral pill and one quality vitamin pill and not have to take any other pills.
A supplement I must take is potassium. That is one of the electrolyte chemicals we all need and need to have in balance in our bodies. I take about a 100 mg pill every day. I think this is one category of supplements that you have to be kind of careful about because too much or too little directly impacts heart function.
The “COVID-19” “pandemic” and the “COVID vaccines” have greatly accelerated the erosion of public trust in all things medical, and this erosion or trust began decades ago.
The SIDS finding about being solely and directly related to vaccines is a real bombshell.
It’s looking like ALL VACCINES SUCK.
People have to be able to trust their doctors and they are being injured and killed by deadly trust.
Bribery and kickbacks and all manner of criminal and civil law-breaking revolve around keeping many lucrative income steams flowing for many professions.
I have Fibromyliga along with Diabetic Neuropathy, I found Selenium and Magasium Citrate/Glutinate helps with sleep and muscle pain.
Yes, all jabs suck, they even cause Peanut allergy, what other allergies do they cause?
They were bad enough before mRNA was added to them.
not only allergies but DEATH
mRNA is a jab making is similar to a Vax however it differs in deliberately altering genetic information.
YES ALL VACCINES SUCK. Take extra MG for jerks
No need to candy coat it!
Very imformative, Robert, but when you write, I never expect less.
love
Thank you so much for this great article, much needed. thanks for the sourcing info as well. I have used Fullscript once already! I will be sharing this with several people!
I like your comment! I offer complimentary 30 minute consult go help people with Questions! Do you have the link?
You are awesome!
1:Supplements can be a wonderful “cure” for lack of so many nutrients in our food supply and soil.. Magnesium being the universal MUST have. Vitamin D is a tight second due to indoor lifestyle.
2: However as with pharmaceuticals.. we can go overboard and you can end up with a mess where excessive one supplement starts to deplete another and you cause more issues..( ie- Zinc and Copper balance)
3: knowing your Epigenetics is a game changer and these tests can be done relatively inexpensively, I recommend MaxGen the best starting point for most people, and using some AI to help fill in the gaps to interpret or going to Genetic Lifehacks..
4: knowing your own bodies, genetic strengths and weaknesses really helps avoid spending tons of money and becoming a human guinea pig with these supplements since one person tolerate someone else might not;
Ie: I cannot take l-theanine or SamE.. as it causes severe anxiety.. well it’s a miracle for others.
Ashwaganda can be a great cortisol manager, however, can cause liver issues long term.. knowing your cytochrome function status can help make this decision.
4: i’m surprised there was no mention of lithium orotate -something that’s missing from most water supplies and would be a game changer in mental health!! It’s a naturally occurring element found in many water sources throughout the world and has been removed from ours due to over treatment..
5: I agree that phosphatidylserine is under used , mostly unknown and does wonders for cortisol and calming!
6: as always food should try to be our best medicine ..as well as exercise and sleep, however supplement what you can’t get from diet.. and support those personal genetic hiccups that require more support!
yes I take Li
Very excellent response. I’m going to re-read it tomorrow. Yes, lithium is so very important!! It is one nutrient thatbI will actually get out of bed to take if I have forgotten. Maybe more tomorrow!
Without wishing to appear contradictory or disrespectful or antagonistic I have a few questions:
Can you please show us the chemical formula for what you refer to as vitamin D?
Can you please show us the foundational papers that actually show isolation of vitamin D from the human body and thus prove that this thing actually exists naturally and is made by our body from sunlight ?
Is the vitamin D that you refer to the same chemical as the synthetic chemical called Cholecalciferol that is also used in rat poison?
Thank you in advance for clarifying these points.
Yeah, I too am confused about this. It would be nice to see a deep dive on D supplementation vs sunbathing.
Many claim that sunbathing D is superior to oral, but 95 percent of us cannot get our levels high enough without supplementation.
But if this vitamin D doesnu2019t even exist what are you supplementing it with? Rat poison perhapsu2026?
Hilarious.
Research this!
Ben
Sun-derived D may be better, but it is impossible for most of us to obtain, and I believe oral D is far better than nothing. The studies on serum levels demonstrate improvements in health and mortality associated with higher D levels.
Much respected Dr Yoho,
You havenu2019t answered my questions.
And you are the first among many to point out that much of what we refer to as studies is bought and sold by big pharmaceutical companies. So this doesnu2019t cut it either.
Please try to answer my questions if you can.
If you canu2019t maybe itu2019s time to rethink what we call oral vitamin D and its supposed benefits???
Thank you very much.
look at vitamindwiki.com
it is exhaustive
study it to your heart’s content
Henry Lahore is my friend.
search my archives for his name to see my interviews
nope, vit d oral is critical
Respected Dr Yoho, You are the MD and expert who report useful information not me. I am just a layman asking simple questions.
So please donu2019t send me on a wild goose chase which I am not qualified to do and thus covering your trucks. It is your responsibility to do your homework before recommending so vociferously/dictatorially a controversial supplement. Please do your homework and look under the hood of the assumption that you appear to have accepted uncritically. Thatu2019s understandable. We all do it.
Hello Ben ! I think your questions are good ones. I’ll endeavor to respond in the am! As you can imagine, I’ve had a busy day. And, lets also discuss VitK2-7, which greatly diminished the dangers associated with intake of D3 alone. TSA
Ben, “vit” D3 is actually a hormone in structure and by definition.
You had best get some basics. It is not “time” to rethink hormone D3 as it is markedly and consistently useful. It also happens to be very inexpensive and almost non toxic.
Hi Ben , I agree with Dr. Yoho, oral consumption of D is essential.
Ditto. AGENT 131711 has scared me from all vitamins, especially D.
I look only to my diet and walking in the sun.
“Almost everything scares me these days” was the title of one of my posts. Read that to find out what is truly scary. Find out how to search archives in the last chapter of Apocalypse Almanac
AGENT 131711 is some sort of paid op or chaos agent. Turn off his feed.
Bard ones options are to respond in fear or its opposite.
One employs knowledge gained over time, and hopefully some Wisdom.
As you choose. Most definitely depends where you live.
Even in Sub tropics lifeguards have been shown deficient. Optimal titers are will established. That may be from slathering their bodies with toxic sunscreen…
Greetings ! Don’t be scared. Vitamin D3 is a vital and beneficial supplement. Most people cannot raise their levels enough via sunlight alone. Remember, always take Vitamin K2-7 with your D3 to help the calcium be redeposited into the bone and not into the soft tissue.
The formula can’t be typed into this reply, other than in the most abbreviated chemical shorthand, which is C27H44O. The chemistry of D3 or cholecalciferol , whether from sun exposure or supplementation is supposed to be similar. A great starting point for you would be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholecalciferol.
As to your concern regarding “rat poison”. Cholecalciferol is used in rat poison because it causes dangerously high levels of calcium and phosphorus, leading to severe kidney failure and other serious health issues in rodents. Its effectiveness as a rodenticide stems from its ability to disrupt calcium homeostasis, making it a potent poison.
This use comes from the principle anything strong enough to help can be strong enough to hurt, in the right dosage. The dosages per body weight humans achieve through supplementation or sun exposure are much lower than the ratios used for rats. This apparently surfaced as a made up controversy on some You Tube channel by ignorant or people posing as ignorant to create a scare.
Historically, D3 supplementation has very rarely led to the classic “lesion” of toxicity, or hypervitaminosis D, hypercalcemia. One episode that has apparently stuck in the mind of physicians was an industrial over-supplementation that occurred when a dairy company’s machinery added, instead of 100 IU (2.5 mcg) of vitamin D3 per 8-ounce serving, it added several hundred thousand IUs. People came forward complaining of pain in their tissues, (calcific deposits), the error was repaired, and no deaths occurred, everyone stricken recovered fully. There may still be an account of this in the literature available somewhere on line.
For more on Vitamin D–especially toxicity, I would urge you to read the work of my favorite professor and world’s greatest Vitamin D researcher, Dr. Reinhold Vieth. He has spent decades unpacking and unravelling what was once thought to be a simple compound into the knowledge that vitamin D is a proto-hormone with thousands of metabolic functions. Watch this video to see him discuss Vitamin D toxicity.

1. Please show us that this thing you call vitamin D has actually been isolated from the human body. Wikipedia articles have lost all credibility.
2. Show us that the body makes it with sunlight.
3. I have already written to Dr Vieth a while back. His reply was short and amounted to: Just shut up and take your vitamin D! u201CYouu2019re thinking too much u201C.
This is hardly credible nor acceptable. Then politely I presented him with the research done by u201CAgentu201D and Dr Tom Cowan. He never replied.
What do you expect from an u201Cexpertu201D who has built his career on unproven hypothesis at bestu2026we have learnt a lot about the credibility and integrity of the u201Cworld renowned expertsu201D in the past 5 yearsu2026.
I don’t understand what you are talking about. Do you think Vitamin D is a conspiracy theory? The “evidence” that vitamin D can be measured in the serum before and after chronic sunlight or supplementation demonstrates the molecule exists and its concentrations increase.
I will conclude, it doesn’t matter you don’t believe 1-25 Hydroxycholecalciferol exists, it’s doing its job in your body regardless. Cheers.
Iu2019ll tell you what I am talking about again: I started this thread with three simple questions to the much respected Dr Yoho. Apparently neither you nor Dr Yoho are able to answer any of them. Instead you are blowing over the questions with meaningless replies and circular logic using impressive sounding chemical names and even more impressive u201Cworld renowned experts u201C.
I wouldnu2019t mind it but for the fact that you insist that people u201Csupplement u201C the supposed deficiency with a synthetic chemical that is demonstrably poisonous with serious long term health ramifications. Not to mention that its supposed benefits have not even been scientifically shown. This synthetic chemical is proven and admitted by the Dr to take away calcium from our bones at an alarming rate and the effect is cumulative over time.
I would be very happy if either of you would prove me wrong.
Ben you are way out of your league… This is not the place to “prove” anything to anybody
How can I be out of my league when Iu2019m not in any league?
Iu2019m not arguing a position. Iu2019m asking questions.
You are clearly just obfuscating the questions.
If this is not the place to ask questions please tell me where is the place?
VitaminDwiki.com
If the answers to my questions are in that wiki why donu2019t you supply them straight forward? Why do you send a layman on a wild goose chase?
Ben, I use a spectrophotometer in my clinical practice. It is shocking how many patients have sufficient levels of minerals, but low Vitamin D. I don’t think most of us on here have time to research every thoughtful question. This would be an excellent task for you to do, and then get back to us! Thank you.
Thank you. Please explain how do you know what the spectral signature of vitamin D supposed to look like? Especially since my AI app tells me that vitamin D has never been isolated from the human body?
Perhaps what you see is a low level of the u201Crecommendedu201D supplement; the synthetic chemical called vitamin D3? Yeh I bet we all have a deficiency of that oneu2026.
Your requests are polite but indicate a fundamental lack of knowledge.
The fact that the body is capable of synthesizing D3 steps outside of the defintion of a “vitamin”. Mischaracterized…
The definition of a hormone is closer.
Truth Seeker, youu2019re obfuscating the issue. It wasnu2019t me who called this so called supplement a Vitamin.
Whether itu2019s a vitamin or hormone is immaterial to my 3 questions that started this discussion.
Just answer those questions and stop obfuscating and glossing over the real issue which is the constant efforts to get us all ingesting a synthetic chemical that is marketed as a Vitamin. Playing on our indoctrination that causes us to link the word Vitamin with human health.
So far nobody has even tried to answer my questions.
On the other hand researchers have shown conclusively that the u201CSupplement u201C is toxic and accumulating in our bodies.
Iu2019m just trying to get to the bottom of this contradiction so I can make up my own mind whether to follow the constant and ubiquitous urgings to consume the u201Csupplement u201C.
Good to know you comprehend the word obfuscation.
Instead of Going to the bottom rise towards the top, its a long journey.
Now that you have disclosed that “researchers” have shown that Hormore D3 is toxic howz about providing one such proof? The best one ya got.
Let me inform you: You Are Not a Truth Seeker. Your hostility towards simple questions that challenge your prejudices clearly excludes you from your self appointed role.
Just look at the manufactureru2019s data sheets where the toxicity is plainly stated. If you need help look at the postings about Vitamin D3 by Agent 131711 on Substack.
You may also wish to listen to Dr Tom Cowan on vitamin D3 supplementation.
Have read thousands of safety data sheets, Benster.
D3 toxicity is of little concern. Then you refer to the fraud Agent. Come up for air or continue descending towards the muck.
Commentary is not for the Ben entity, it is for the others.
Great answer. Henry LaHore.
See my post on Vitamin D. I wrote a specific post on vitamin D just for you. @drtamarasanta > Other than
Tamara, you have not answered my questions either.
You and Dr Yoho are the ones urging everyone to ingest this so called supplement not me. Therefore the onus is on you to do the research that would provide you and us with assurance that you know what you are doing in this regard.
Great summary!
Click on Fullscript supplement store and you have to create an account before you even know what you are creating an account for. No thank you, I will pass. It is too much like MLM, right up front.
V, I am fond of you, but I would have thought that after our long relationship, my recommendations would have gained some credibility with you.
Horse to water?
I have tired of committing to paying for things before I know anything about them. Your recommendations have never asked me to do so.
V, this is a great way to access high-quality supplements that most people cannot obtain directly, at a significant discount. Even when purchased from other online sources, they are often heated and sold at full price!
I definitely would NOT recommend 50000 IU vitamin d daily.. maybe a typo?? Risk of hypercalcemia and consequently kidney stones, confusion/ muscle weakness, constipation .. all very likely and happen. I would recommend monitoring serum levels closely..
Yes to 5000 IU daily.. this gets serum levels near 80-100 which is more than adequate.
Provided it is taken with a fatty meal. Absorption is poor through the gut when not taken properly.
Do you see this on a regular basis with patients? I never had trouble getting most people’s levels up to 80 with 4-5000 IU daily.
I am retired now. I began going against the 400 IU maximum recommendation decades ago, when VD3 testing showed no detectable serum levels in many patients. I practiced in the NW, so with dermatology insisting patients slather on the rather toxic sunscreens of the time in summer, and no sunlight strong enough for conversion in the winter, I often recommended 5-10K IU with a 6 month recheck on serum levels. Initially, I didn’t instruct patients to take the D3 with a fatty meal, and was frustrated by small increases on labs. After I added that instruction, the data improved. I didn’t provide them with the product, although I made recommendations as to brands I felt were accurate on dose–once ConsumerLab.org came online that was easy to do–but I suspect many were buying the cheapest product on their trip to Wall Mart.
I was pleased to see levels reach 60, and often that took a year of supplementation to achieve.
What do you think I was doing incorrectly?
not taking enough obviously
For someone who has not been supplementing and is sick, they should take 100-150,000 IU every other day for a week then back off to 100,000 IU once a week minimum. Get levels a month later
See VitaminDWiki.com and my interviews of Henry Lahore.
We were in the NW too! Vampireland where everyone needs D!! Interesting that many hormones and fat soluble vitamins absorb better in fat! Makes sense!
I think brand definitely matters.. and K2 as well .
Another issue you can’t control is epigenetics.. specifically VDR and some like CYP2R1 mutations/ SNPs that affect metabolism. Supplementation in higher doses is needed.
Have paid attention to new words that describe old phenomena.
Several decades ago gut dysfunction was “dysbiosis” now it has magically morphed into microbiome. The words have similar meaning but they replaced the former with the later without explanation. A new generation of experts thus emerge.
The microbiome is where the dysbiosis occurs. And unfortunately, or fortunately, the consensus is now recognition that it is pervasive.
Those are excellent points. The 400 IU RDA suggestion was always ridiculously low, certainly for those lattitudes having little sun much of the year. Without evidence will stretch to say, deliberate.
Titers can increase in a couple weeks to the desired 60 mg per deciliter when megadoses are used.
You were dong nothing incorrectly, however patients in general have poor digestion and thus assimulation. So where to start?
Sometimes polymorphisms or the lack of ‘helper’ nutrients have an impact.
over 100 is the right goal, not 80
No harm done unless levels are in the 300s.
Don’t be a chicken.
and you only need to take your dose once a week.
I take 150,000 every Saturday
everyone is individual and you need levels
VitaminDWiki.com is the best Source!!
150K. You have cojones, Roberto! 🙂
Love that handle. BS Free MD.
Our motto.. we got duped in Medicine like Robert.. now we question and challenge everything.
I hear you. I was duped when I determined the overhead rate for federally-sponsored research, too. I question everything now. Clearly, we can all see that people are not any healthier for all the money spent, right? Thanks for being honest, though. I have had to u201Csuck it upu201D, so to speak, and admit I was wrong about a lot of things. Frankly, I admire people who can admit they were wrong.
Best regards,
Elizabeth
And technically, later in the day!
Interesting. Neither would I advise 50K IU daily. The best advice for most is high dose, short term as is true of many to most supplements. In the winter, even in the sub tropics, deliberately take that high dose. SHORT TERM, as an immune boost, not due to symptoms.
That is one of many useful supplement tools.
Medicinal Mushrooms are front row and center, cycled, lattitude and season dependent.
great advice
take high doses over the long term only if justified by levels that do not respond to low doses
always monitor
Is 10,000iu/day too much? I have 2 bulged lumbar discs and a pain management dr yrs ago recommended that amount to me. I didn’t know about vit K2 then but I have been taking it almost 2yrs now with the D3.
Not in everyone. I use a higher amount several times a week. However, I also use Vitamin B12 to avoid issues such as the ones you have mentioned. I have been around long enough to remember being aghast when the limit of D was raised from 400 to 2,00. Now, I smile.
Hi, I have a Fullscript account but only a few previous doctors are listed not you?

“I occasionally wonder if supplements are like holding a talisman…” Ha! I wonder the same about much of our efforts to bestow blessings on our metabolic processes. The pre-industrial brain at work? Healthy skepticism? Or just the nagging suspicion the placebo effect is powerful despite knowing full well it is in play? Not counting oral upstream hormones, I took my 8 supplements this AM.
I took a lot more.
Santayana: Skepticism, like chastity, should not be surrendered too easily.
ha
Lol. I’ve seen far too many positives in patients to be overly skeptical anymore! And I am glad someone is knowledgeable about upstream hormones!
Dear Robert and Tamara, You both know you are doing the best you can with what you have.
I am extremely confused because there’s way too much information. There’s no way to get centered in this presentation. It comes off like a sales pitch for a Jackson Pollock.
I cannot even find how to get a consult with Tamara in this miasma of writing and snapshots. I know I’m not alone with these thoughts so lets hope we all come together to think through how to center this for those who are overwhelmed mentally, emotionally, financially, existentially. Thank you for your extensive efforts to not just sell but solve.

I’m afraid I’m one of those folks who, over the course of many years and malaises, amassed a truly staggering regimen of supplements. A probable cancerous tumor in one of my lungs changed all that. I’m taking everything I can find that has been shown to block cancer pathways, along with DMSO, CLO2, a couple of off-label drugs, and little else. Everything else is gathering dust while I await the next PET scan. Assuming success, I’ll keep this article to reassess my supplementation post-cancer. Thanks for yet another essential reference!
you are over the target, however protocol assistance is best in the hands of the experienced…
PET scans are very sensitive but not specific. They work because malignant cells have far greater metabolic rates. Probable is not definitive, however going after methods of stopping rogue cell lines pays dividends…
This may help you. From the Apocalypse Almanac,
Chapter 9. “How to cure cancer in your kitchen with online purchases” https://robertyoho.substack.com/i/156771296/how-to-cure-cancer-in-your-kitchen
I read it, and also bookmarked it for future reference. I Hoover up this info like cancer does glucose!
I read and often partipate in a half dozen (renegade MD) subs.
Do so for several reasons.
They have all climbed out of a box with very steep walls and used the skillset attained to do exactly as this latest post demonstrates. Attempting to consolidate and itemize the very long laundry list of pertinent reveals and protocols is actually impossible. This post is a major consolidation and a great stab at it.

Robert, Thanks for doing this post and starting the conversation!
Here is an interesting article by Dr Richard Cheng about how OTC treatment can erase 25 years of nail fungus:

We are not required, not presently, to ask for or have in any form, shape or fashion an “OK” from any “Practitioner” to purchase an over-the-counter supplement in the USofA. Something about this company’s business/marketing model sends up red flags of MLM or some variation! Must go through “Practitioners” to purchase these special products. Sounds like a really good deal if you are a “Practitioner”. It would seem to me that the present and growing utter disdain for most “Practitioners” would cause those who are protective of their own reputations to shy away from companies such as this. And, just say “I like your product, but I can’t put my reputation on the line because of your marketing methods.” Just my take.
This degenerate who “took” the mRNA Quaxcine is now dead like many other fools.

Dr. Yoho,
After reading the bit about Lyme disease, I’m wondering if you could address the latest incarnation, the tick that supposedly leaves some disease that causes red meat allergies? That crap HAS to be engineered.
I do like red meat, and we do have ticks here, and I’d like to avoid or cure that unpleasantness if I could, should I get bitten. Thanks.
I have serious doubts about the effectiveness of Vit D supplements. I had vertigo related to D deficiency, despite my tested Cholecalciferol levels being over 70. A bit of sun exposure cured the vertigo, which to my mind demonstrates that synthetic D is pure bullshit: just another nonsense lab metric. See https://eclectichealing.substack.com/p/vertigo-and-sunshine?r=1azvtv
If you are having memory/brain fog issues, suspect your gut. I’ve been taking ozonated magnesium for months now and my brain clarity is back to where it was before I started losing my ability to recall recent facts. Super Oxyflush. The recommended protocol is 5 capsules at bed. Be prepared for watery stools first thing in the morning (or in the middle of the night). I now take two at night and once with each meal. It’s magic for bowel motility – it keeps things moving. I’ve been doing this for a few months now, together with some semi-elemental nutrition to give my bowel lining a chance to heal. I suspect if I came off of it my bowels would be back to normal, but I don’t really want to chance slower motility (which can aggravate my chronic pancreatitis – since on this protocol it is exceptionally rare that I notice any symptoms of pancreatitis).
Since synthetic D is toxic crap, Magnesium is the #1 supplement. And any fool who looks at their standard blood work thinks they are doing just fine. Not by a long shot. Magnesium oil gets around bowel tolerance, though when you are deficient it will cause itchy skin. It’s best to read books by Levy or Sircus about magnesium. Levy’s book is better, but lacks information about transdermal Mg.
If you want a way to take most of the supplements you mention, without the whole pill regimen or an array of powders, check out Cardio Miracle. All the Sinatra supplements, lions mane, minerals, etc. Unfortunately it has synthetic D, but the crap probably isn’t as toxic when you don’t have a bunch of nutrient deficiencies. I’ve used the stuff for 15 months now. My heat tolerance is dramatically improved. It’s likely why I’m looking younger now than a few years ago, but I don’t get wrapped around the axle about how I look. How I feel is all that is important.
