This post was mentioned on Twitter by Irreverent_B: The Irreverent Buddhist said:: Russell L. Blaylock M.D.: Take D3 NOT THE SWINE FLU VACCINE. http://bit.ly/AhlHD...

As you will see the website you are referring to is in Russell Blaylock’s email and within the quotation marks – I am not “referring the readers to a specific website that is selling a specific brand name of vitamin”. I have fully quoted his email and not edited it and am unaware of any details of any connection that Dr Blaylock may have – or not have – with that website.

By contrast, the advertising carried on my site links to a reputable distributor of quality brands. Several brands are presented. I am an affiliate of that website and do gain financially if people buy vitamins after clicking on a link. The financial return has not covered my costs of setting up two sites dedicated to Vitmain D3 and health information. Also please be clear that my prime motivation for carrying advertising is not financial – I have run this and a number of other websites at a loss for many years as I worked in advertising for some years and have little respect for it on the whole.

The advertising I carry for Vitamin D supplements is there to provide an easy access to purchase for those who decide that supplementation is something they want to undertake. This is the first advertising on any of my websites for some years – and it is in line with Buddhist teachings that I carry it. Medication was one of the five things early Buddhist monks were allowed to carry. The health impact of proper Vitamin D3 levels are immense. Having discovered that not enough information is being offered to people about this, and having tried to collate some of that information, it makes sense to help people access a quality supplier with a good range of choice.

I also promoinently recommend above the advertising that people work with their MD and get their blood levels tested – taking vitamins does not need to be hit and miss and not every one needs them, although D3 shortage is at pandemic levels in Western societies, the Middle East and elsewhere and many or most people will benefit from supplementing with D3.

What I have a hard time accepting is the fact
that you are referring the readers to a specific website
that is selling a specific brand name of vitamin
which leads readers like me to the concusion
that you are benefiting financially from the purchase of any
product that I would buy at the ExtendCore website;
aka
http://www.vrp.com

Are you an affiliate of http://www.vrp.com ?
If you are
then you should state as a footnote to the article
that you are.
And if you are not, you should add
that “you are not benefitting financially from any purchases made by any readers…..” so that readers do not jump to the wrong conclusion
