I was very pleased that the government's decision to limit vitamin B6 supplements was mentioned in WDDTY. I am very concerned about whether B6 is being used as a forerunner to banning all higher strength vitamin and mineral supplements simply to har

I have been suffering from ME for more than 10 years and for the last four I have benefited enormously from taking vitamin, mineral and essential fatty acid supplements. I have been taking a daily dose of 50 mg of B6, and it has done me no harm at all, and has caused none of the symptoms of B6 toxicity.

I have to buy all my supplements myself. My GP does not accept that my disease is physical and would never prescribe me the higher strength supplements I need, nor would I want NHS supplements, as they contain colourings, preservatives and other allergens such as wheat, lactose and sugar.

What our readers and members say about WDDTY

As an ex medical writer for a top laboratory, I would like to congratulate you on what you are doing. You have made a brave move which is bound to make waves and I am sure your information is an eye-opener to many people. To practitioners like me, who so often have to cope with iatrogenic states, you are a godsend. Thank you

I value the whistle-blowing, myth-breaking and original information I’ve received over the years. Sometimes it’s been well ahead of public and even NHS awareness.

You disseminate information so that we can make informed choices as to the safest, most efficacious treatments. We are guided by your information to, hopefully, a better and safer life. You highlight the hazards of allopathic medicine and people are thankful for that.

Keep up the good work. WDDTY is an invaluable source of up-to-date information which would be difficult for anyone not in the medical field to access any other way.

I have made many of your articles available to patients who are trying to make decisions on the many topics you cover and they have all said how helpful they were. - M.C., London Your publication puts truth at a premium and empowers victims of medical arrogance—long may you flourish. - G.R., York
