Specific Physiological Rights
Each page documents a specific physiological right: the scientific context, the systematic violations observed, and the applicable legal framework.
Right to Adequate Choline
The right to adequate choline: a molecule officially recognized as essential only in 1998, met by fewer than one adult in ten, absent from food guides, absent from routine testing, and the material substrate of membranes, hepatic lipid export, methyl donation, biliary flow, renal osmoregulation, and the parasympathetic nervous system.
Right to Adequate Coenzyme Q10
The right to adequate coenzyme Q10: a lipophilic quinone the body synthesizes on the same branched pathway as cholesterol, so a drug taken by forty million people to lower cholesterol depletes it by construction. Recognized as a target for co-supplementation in the 1989 Merck patents that were never developed, still not standard of care, still called a supplement of unproven benefit.
Right to Adequate Folate Levels
The right to adequate folate levels: access to testing and appropriate supplementation, with recognition of MTHFR polymorphisms that affect conversion of synthetic folic acid to the active form.
Right to Adequate Glutathione
The right to adequate glutathione: the master antioxidant of the cell is a tripeptide the body synthesizes and destroys internally, at concentrations no oral supplement can reproduce. The right therefore falls on the substrates: cysteine (via N-acetylcysteine), glycine, selenium, riboflavin. The clinical infrastructure that would measure, provision, and monitor these substrates does not exist in ordinary medicine, and the trajectory that follows their insufficiency is the trajectory of much of chronic disease and aging.
Right to Measure Insulin
The right to know one's insulin: recognition that the hormone at the centre of modern metabolic disease is routinely unmeasured, that the standard laboratory panel is calibrated to see its late consequences and not its dynamic derangement, and that the technical means to measure it are cheap, mature, and structurally withheld.
Right to Adequate Iron Status
The right to adequate iron status: access to a proper multi-marker assessment (ferritin, transferrin saturation, soluble transferrin receptor, CRP for inflammatory correction) read against thresholds that reflect tissue function rather than the bottom of the local population's distribution. The most honest test in modern nutritional medicine, defeated by the number chosen to interpret it.
Right to Adequate Magnesium Levels
The right to adequate magnesium levels: access to testing and supplementation to prevent and correct one of the most widespread and systematically underdiagnosed nutritional deficiencies in the Western world.
Right to Adequate Muscle Mass
The right to adequate muscle mass: access to measurement, to a threshold of function rather than a threshold of late geriatric pathology, and to the interventions that actually restore the tissue when it is depleted. Muscle mass is a measurable structural parameter with normative values for age and sex, with cascading consequences on metabolism, autonomy, and longevity, and yet it is measured almost nowhere in ordinary care.
Right to Optimal Omega-3 Status (EPA/DHA)
The right to an optimal omega-3 status: access to testing (Omega-3 Index) and supplementation to correct the chronic omega-6/omega-3 imbalance that characterises modern Western diets.
Right to Optimal Hormonal Levels
The right to optimal hormonal levels: a landscape of five endocrine axes (thyroid, female sex hormones, andropause, cortisol, insulin) surveyed through what medicine does well, does badly, and does not do at all. The reference range built from a population itself compromised is mistaken for a target of function, and the tests that would name the deficit exist and are not ordered.
Right to Adequate Potassium Status
The right to adequate potassium status: recognition that a homeostatically defended serum value systematically hides tissue depletion, that dietary intake is only one input to the tissue balance, and that access to a food environment matching evolutionary physiology is a matter of preventable cardiovascular mortality.
Right to Optimal Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) Status
The right to an optimal riboflavin status: recognition of widespread subclinical deficiency and its role in mitochondrial function, FAD/FMN cofactor production, and MTHFR enzyme activity.
Right to Optimal Thiamine (Vitamin B1) Status
The right to an optimal thiamine status: recognition of functional deficiency beyond frank beriberi, including high-dose thiamine therapy for conditions such as dysautonomia and Parkinson's disease.
Right to Optimal Vitamin E Status (Full Spectrum)
Vitamin E is not a molecule but a family of eight compounds. For decades, official science, medicine, and industry have recognised only one member. This reductionism has produced inadequate recommendations, potentially harmful supplements, and a massive underestimate of actual deficiency.
