Read This If You Don’t Believe Big Pharma / Big Chemical Make Your Supplements
Do you believe that the pharma and chemical industries make your supplements?
One day, Google will get its AI to remove the stuff you can find now. I’m going to give you a few examples of what you can search for online to learn the truth.
Like they buried all holistic health content in favor of WebMD, Healthline, and other pro-pharma, pro-allopathic medicine websites.
In this article:
- Easy Google searches that prove what’s really in supplements
- Questions to ask yourself about supplements

Easy Google Searches That Prove What’s Really in Supplements
For now, these Google searches will prove to you what I’ve been saying for a few years – that supplements are full of plastics, shellac, heavy metals, petroleum products, and solvents:
“Vitamin D”
Search: What chemical properties are used in the manufacture of cholecalciferol
“Vitamin C”
Search: How is ascorbic acid made
Nicotine patches, gum, etc.
Search: How is nicotinic acid made
[Hint: if you think it’s made from tobacco, there’s none in any of it. It’s all synthetic.]
5-HTP (used in energy “supplements”)
Search: Chemical process of making 5-HTP
NAC (N Acetyl Cysteine)
Search: what chemicals are used making NAC
(Hint: before it was a “supplement,” it was and is a synthetic active chemical ingredient in many drugs)
Also search:
- is NAC made in China for US companies
- is NAC made from duck feathers or human hair
MSM / DMSO
Search: chemical process to manufacture MSM
Questions to Ask Yourself About Supplements
Do you ever ask yourself why:
1 — A former chiropractor seems to be promoting synthetic nicotine products full-time.
2 — A naturopathic doctor seems to promote semaglutide drugs (like Ozempic and Wagovy) full-time. She never addresses the class action lawsuit of those whose adverse events are so bad that their lives are destroyed from paralysis of the gut of these agonist drugs. This ND is a tiny little person who does not use these drugs herself.
3 — Another naturopathic doctor pushes MSM / DMSO (and sells it with her label on it), saying it’s from wood and natural. She becomes enraged when her customers ask her how she allegedly makes it herself. (And writes lots of words, never answering, though.)
(How does the time these “alternative” docs spend NOT treating patients, but out on the podcast tour, monetize for them?
If our chiropractors and naturopathic doctors sell out to the pharma and chemical industries, who is left to help patients address the root cause?
When drugs do not address the root cause, they also sometimes go by “supplement” if they’re unregulated.
Unfortunately, office-visit revenue does not keep the lights on, with the staff, software, and facility expenses of our “alternative health” practitioners. The office visit is kept inexpensive to bring patients in the door. And the profit is made on the “back end.” With pills, pills, more pills, lab tests, and expensive procedures.
There are exceptions: small, not-fancy (low-rent), small chiropractic offices.
Addressing Your Top 2 Resistances to the Reality of Supplements
May I address your top two resistances:
1 — But a doctor or influencer I trust promotes it!
Response: They most likely don’t even know what you’ll find with those simple Google searches.
Once they’ve spent a year, or a decade, promoting it and have an income stream of thousands of dollars a month that pays their bills–
–they don’t and won’t learn what you can from those easy Google searches.
2 — But I took [one of those “supplements” above, or other supplements], and I felt something, so it must have helped me!
Response: Sometimes, we feel something that might not be a sign of healing. Worse, it could be a negative sign.
For instance, “vitamin B3” made from coal tar and other major toxins, makes people turn red, sweat a lot, and even throw up. That’s because they ingested poison. That’s not a healing process so much as the miraculous body trying to save its own life. This “supplement” is sold as a detoxifier.
Also: Sometimes we get better and give credit to whatever substance(s) we were taking. Your body has corrected course and healed itself from countless illnesses and injuries. We often get correlation mixed up with cause.
Also: Along with the chemicals used in often both the ingredients and the manufacturing of these products, it may contain one or two molecules of a much more complex compound or matrix the body needs from food, sun, etc. – which is virtually always dozens of molecules.
If the body can scavenge the rest from what is already in the body, sometimes a synthetic supplement can have a temporary positive effect.
Sometimes, we get these two things mixed up:
- How we get better (always, always, the body's immune functions – at best, assisted by a natural substance) often DESPITE the toxic substances we’re constantly exposed to.
- Cause versus correlation. Just because you’ve taken this pill when sick, and you haven’t died yet (or think you got better faster, but how would we know?)—
--consider that when you DIDN’T take those pills, other times you were sick, you ALSO didn’t die.
I’m just here for those who want to know.
Disregard and carry on for those who want to keep taking the pills.
My 40 adult years of experience and research leads me to believe detoxifying and shifting to a whole-foods, mostly plant-based, organic diet gives us what we need to re-balance and regain our health.
