Response from Dr. Andrew Saul

Recent Canadian Study looking at patients using vitamins

11/8/02

Dear Andrew:

I wonder if you are in touch with Dr. Hoffer and what he has to say to this latest paper. "Mega-Dose Vitamins/Minerals in Treatment"

We would love some feedback.

Thanks.

Ann F.

Dr. Andrew Saul responds, 11/27/02:

I apologize for the delay in getting a response to you.

Dr. Hoffer recently told me he was preparing a commentary about the study. For now, my opinion in a nutshell:

criticisms of the study would have to center on the fact that the study did not allow for those who dropped out of the program, did not measure quality of life, and looked at only some of the vitamin-treated patients.

I have other general thoughts on negative nutritional studies posted at http://www.doctoryourself.com/antivitamin.html
