Supplements Can Behave Like Pharmaceuticals

Although I don't have enough money to get in-depth mainstream medical care, nor do I feel that in-depth mainstream medical care could help me, I do occasionally experiment with supplements.  In fact, over the last decade I've probably spent a few thousand dollars on supplements.  I also used to work in a health food store.

My latest experiment was to combine quercetin with bromelain.  The quercetin supplement had 250mg of quercetin in a phytosomal form - it said that it had 20x absorption on the label.  (20 x 250mg is 5g.) 

I started getting stomach pains, nausea, and a constant ringing in the right ear.  (This ringing was in addition to other chronic sounds in the brain mentioned in a previous post.)  Then, I watched this video:

What are the side effects of quercetin and bromelain?

(From researching other sites, ear ringing is another symptom of high quercetin intake.)

On top of that, I had already been taking a high amount of silica in gel form - a few hundred mg:

Then my heart started flip-flopping all over the place the other night (as mentioned in a previous post).  There were also other very negative symptoms I'd rather not go into.  My intentions were good, but the results were a disaster.

Conclusion:

Although pharmaceuticals have more severe side-effects, supplements can behave like pharmaceuticals.  It's actually very easy to get oneself into a great amount of trouble with supplements, and this latest fiasco was not the first time I've had disastrous results when experimenting with supplements. 

There are so many supplements that are heavily promoted that may not be safe.  For example, turmeric is high in oxalates, so I wonder if turmeric supplements have massive levels of oxalates because they are so ridiculously concentrated.  Needless to say, every time I took a turmeric supplement, it was a disaster.

Supplements can be very beneficial.  For example, N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) is extremely powerful for the immune system if one gets sick.  However, because the human body is so complex, supplements are a 'double-edged sword.'  Much greater care needs to be taken when using supplements - I've learned this the hard way.  This is why from now on when I get excited about a supplement, I will immediately look at any negative side-effects and any evidence that discredits the supplement as being either useless or harmful.  Actually, for the most part, I may be better off not taking supplements at all.

To really know what I'm doing with supplements, I would need to have advanced knowledge that goes beyond the PhD level.  The complexity of the human body is beyond the scope of mainstream science, and 'non-mainstream science' keeps wanting to believe that certain supplements are the 'holy grail' of health while ignoring a countless number of variables.  

The intelligence of nature is far beyond human understanding.  Even someone with an IQ of say, 250, which does not exist within the surface population, would not be able to have mastery over nature.  

Intuition is a part of the astronomical intelligence of nature, so can surpass an ultra-high IQ, but there are negative forces that are adept at manipulating intuition.  My intuition told me to take silica, quercetin, and bromelain.  In this case, my intuition was being used to cause me considerable harm.
