[Season 4, Episode 4]

After his initial discovery of the anti-aging vitamins, Dr. Aardsma made contact with the United States FDA, attempting to follow the applicable guidelines before bringing his new product to market in 2017. The interactions between Dr. Aardsma and the FDA at that time ended up being frustrating and unproductive. "Two new vitamins" appear to be uncharted territory for the FDA.

After five years of subsequent silence, the FDA contacted Dr. Aardsma this past summer. (Why now, after five years of silence? We have some ideas.)

Learn what the FDA communicated to us this summer, where things stand now, and what the future might hold, on today's podcast episode.

We find ourselves blazing a trail of sorts with the discovery of these two new vitamins, rooted in Bible/science research. There is no manual or web search that can give us instructions on how to move this new discovery forward into the hands of the proper authorities. Last month's episode reminds us of the inherent difficulties faced by previous vitamin discoveries, by which we can see that we are in good company at least, and thereby we are encouraged that eventually the truth will prevail.

"We humans do tend to muddle our way through sooner or later." -Dr. Aardsma

[Season 4, Episode 3]

Imagine a time when people were getting sick and dying, sometimes large groups of people at the same time, and living in the same area. Although symptoms were similar in each case, the mysterious illnesses defied conventional cures. Nobody could pinpoint the problem. Maybe it was something in the environment, or an unknown virus or bacteria. Doctors tried various remedies, some typical, some bizarre. Still, the victims suffered in misery, or even died a horrific death.

Imagine the astonishment when people began to discover that something as simple as lemons or cod liver oil in the diet seemed to cure these horrible diseases. Why a lemon? Why cod liver oil? Why were specific foods needed to fix the problem?

Welcome to the world of vitamin discovery, where mysterious illnesses were eventually cured by groundbreaking scientific advancements. Just a few hundred years ago, nobody foresaw that tiny amounts of specific chemical substances could transform human health. Nobody knew that without specific invisible molecules (much to small to be seen with the unaided human eye) the body would get sick and die. Missing molecules were, in fact, the cause of unimaginable suffering. Scientists began to reach a new level of understanding of the relationship between diet and nutrition.

Once these substances which we now call vitamins started to become known, the path to acceptance and scientific consensus remained challenging. People often clung to mistaken beliefs.

Fast forward a hundred years, and the era of vitamin discovery is far from over. The field of Bible/science research now intersects with the field of vitamin discovery. And the path forward for these newly discovered vital molecules (the anti-aging vitamins) has proven, so far, to be just as difficult. This new discovery has been greeted with suspicion, subjected to ridicule, and in general met with resistance. People still cling to mistaken beliefs.

Here at Aardsma Research and Publishing we have been talking about two newly discovered vitamins since 2017. The stories shared on today's episode help set the stage for next month's podcast, when we plan to share some stories of our own. This summer re-established some communications with the United States FDA, which we also plan to share on November's episode.

Join us as we traverse the arduous path of vitamin discovery, one which is lined with remarkable stories and the quest for answers to life-and-death questions.

[Season 4, Episode 2]

On today's episode we discuss an unusual piece of history which relates to Bible/science research; an amazing story of discovery with numerous intriguing applications.

In 1991, the body of "Otzi the Iceman" was discovered in the high Alps where he lived and died over 5,000 years ago. This rare and remarkable find provides unusual insight into ancient times. Knowing the date of Otzi's death allows us to place him on the timeline, and we find that Otzi and ancient Bible history complement each other rather nicely.

Many points about Otzi are brought forward by the work of The Biblical Chronologist, in an article Dr. Aardsma published back in 2002.
