Default "Total Body" vitamins recalled

FOXNews.com - CDC: More Than 180 Sickened in 10 States From 'Toxic' Vitamins - Health News | Current Health News | Medical News

Quote:
Last month, federal officials warned consumers about harmful doses of selenium _ a mineral considered healthful in small amounts — in plastic bottles of liquid Total Body Formula and Total Body Mega Formula. The manufacturer recalled the product March 27, but reports of 184 illnesses indicate many people are still taking it, health officials said.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration found up to 200 times the label level of selenium in the products. The agency also found 17 times the label level of chromium but has not yet concluded if those levels are toxic.
Toxic levels of the minerals were in about 1,200 bottles distributed in 16 states and over the Internet, said Dr. James Lando, who is leading the team working on the investigation at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Health officials are looking into an escalating number of illnesses in 10 states — Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Kentucky, Texas, Louisiana, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Virginia and North Carolina.







Thanks HL and Corsair!

so far it is only that specific brand due to the seriously high amount of Selenium and Chromium that is making people sick

Not only that, but they peed what looked like mercury after ingesting all that chromium.




If there is a final hour, let's hope for a higher power. One by one, and two by two, I have ammo, what about you?
