More on Supplements and “Natural”

As some of you know I am often on the soapbox about how there is no such thing as “natural”. And I rarely see anyone provide a clear answer on where they draw the line between what they consider “natural” “cures” and “unnatural”. Osteoporosis is a disease.
I’m also continually harping on the fact that supplements are to be viewed, not with just the same scrutiny as what some consider “medications”, but as potentially DAMAGING. Each of us have our own unique medical history and conditions. EVERYTHING you take should be discussed with both your medical team and your pharmacy.
Here’s just one tiny example of MANY medical articles on this issue.

In addition many “supplements”, like all medicine, can have contraindications with other medications or supplements you are taking.
I see people here hype collagen. Collagen as one small example should not be taken again without discussing with your medical team and pharmacist. It happens to be one MEDICINE, aka supplement, that can be contraindicated in some people with certain conditions. But this equally applies to all medicine you take.
Liver toxicity is increasing rapidly in the US due to overloading of unregulated “supplements”, again aka self medication. I see articles on this pop up every day. There’s nothing “natural” about that. HRT is a hormone, Vitamn D is a hormone chain, and guess what? The anabolic “medication” many people are terrified of are also hormones!
So, off the soapbox for awhile but had received another article on this today and felt the need to rant. I find I am frequenting this site less because of so much talk about “natural” that in medical terms (according to my team) makes no sense and I feel bad for people who come here and seem to be steered into what IMO is confusing information. Off box and rant now.
