I just saw this idiot who one month ago stopped taking all his prescription medicines "because there were too many of them" and switched to vitamins and supplements.  He's taking crap like colostrum and chelating agents in addition to the typical mega-dose vitamin stuff.

Now his blood pressure is 230/126 and his heart rate is in the 30s.  The rhythm he is in is called a type 2 second degree heart block, which is bad because it can progress to a third degree heart block, which is worse.

He said he takes vitamins instead, because they are natural and have no chemicals in them.  Of course, he's too thick to realize that anything in a pill is a chemical, and rattlesnake venom or dog crap are natural.  When I pointed this out to him, he agreed that they probably wouldn't be good for him if he were to ingest them.

Anyway, he's getting a pacemaker and some time to think about his decisions.
