I used to take a multivitamin every day and got a cold every 2 years, and would get over it in a couple days. Then I stopped taking them (money issues) and now I get sick 2-3x a year and it lasts about a week.

There is definitely some wisdom in taking vitamins to fill in for what your diet leaves behind. True you technically shouldn't need vitamins with a truly proper diet, but who actually eats that every day? Also there are some vitamins where extra amounts can be beneficial.

if a healthy adult, especially 20-40 years old, gets anything more than a scratchy throat/stuffed nose for more than 2-3 days, they have vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

rare exceptions in flu season, but still the severity is the same, they can just last for a bit longer, but this is maybe once every 3-5 years.

Right, but "not every smoker gets lung cancer" does not mean that smoking does not cause cancer, which is what some people think.

There is not "an" antichrist, there is only "the" antichrist!

The antichrist isn't even that important in the grand scheme of things, even. He's just Hell's last recruiting gamble and the firing gun of the apocalypse. The big stuff is the ten-horned seven-headed dragon and the Four Horsemen.
