But the TV told me that 10,000mg of vitamins C will cure herpies and cancer.
But can you really get an autoimmune disease by eating too much supplements? I thought the body would just not retain them. It’d be quite difficult to eat exactly the quantity required without any self regulating mechanisms in place.
Except for the Vitamines E, D, K and A, Vitamines are takes up in a controlled way so you cant really overdose them. Overdosing VitA can cause blindness So thats no joke either.
Im no expert on supplements but I know that the new chemotherapies for cancer that include an upregulation od the immune system have autoimmune diseases as a side effect. But I guess you would have to apply that harsh measures to unleash autoimmune diseases.
Sounds plausible, but It would make a lot more people change, if it was a study and not just a “an immunologist explains”
