replies: text: That's not how it works. Life extension magazine fails WP:MEDRS. If you think that any of those citations should be used, tell us what change you think should be made to this article and give us a MEDRS-compliant citation supporting the requested change. Do that and we will evaluate the source and your suggested change. That is what you need to do to make changes to Wikimedia medical articles. Accusations of bias and agendas are not helpful. We need reliable sources. --Guy Macon (talk) 15:55, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Biased selection of studies 

message: ...for what it's worth.
First, I'd like to say I'm in favor of mega vitamin therapy in general. My achilles tendons both ruptured after misuse. Nothing helped for six months. 
Then, reasoning that tendons are made with collagen and collagen with vitamin C, I tried one gram of vitamin C every hour.
In two days my Achilles were healed.
However...my psychiatrist prescribed me 5mg of folic acid daily for depression. This is 14.5 times the recommended daily allowance.
I believe the result was a polyp in my rectum. This was about to turn cancerous. It was removed. I did not stop taking the folic acid. The growth returned. 
I read that folic acid can cause intestinal growths, so I stopped.
That was nine years ago and the growth has not come back.
Incidentally "folic acid" is the artificial form of folate. Folate is difficult to overdose with.
Yes this is "original research". But I hope it's of help.Fletcherbrian (talk) 20:53, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

message: Why does an article on mega vitamin therapy not mention the work of Nobel prize winning scientist, Linus Pauling?
In particular, since the article implied that mega vitamin terapy was only researched/practised by alternative therapists/practitioners, when that is obviously and grossly false.
Many other legitimate scientists and doctors have researched and practised mega vitamin therapy, so are you beling deliberatly disingenuous or just too lazy to do any research beyond or outside your intiial OPINION?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 101.186.21.143 (talk) 00:16, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
