Vitamin E

[Guest guest]

Vitamin E is very good for the liver. You can safely take up to 1200IU

daily. (This is with the synthetic form of E. If you use 'natural' you

would want to take less, but all the studies done were done with the

cheaper synthetic stuff, so that is what I buy.) If you have any clotting

problems you would not want to go over this, and might want (just to be

safe) to keep it at or below 1000IU. There have been several studies that

show a trend of improved liver fibrosis with vitamin E, and that taking

vitamin E during treatment (along with other antioxidents) may help

increase the response rate of treatment. I take 1000IU of E daily, plus

the small amount in my multivitamin. I also take 1000mg of time-released

vitamin C.

Thanks Claudine...I was right the first time. Gotta quit

second-quessing myself. And I've been good about not really thinking

of what I'm going to do about treatment until AFTER the biopsy. I'm

not dwelling on it, there is no point in it. I used to be a

worry-wart, I've calmed myself right down about that. Worry is time

wasted. I keep telling myself that if I start to worry about

anything. And ya know what? It works!!! In fact, it works so good I

forgot to check with the government to see if they will pay for the

treatment ARGGGG, will do that first thing Monday. lol.

Claudine that is a too high dose for Vit E as well as C.

Vit C promotes Iron absorption which isnt good for HVC plus mega doses of Vit E

havnt shown benefit except increase the profits of pharma companies.

Take them in antioxidant doses not therapeutic doses, Vit C 100 mg and Vit E 200

mg are more than sufficient. Remember that any excess is excreted from the body

so it is being wasted anyway.

Doc,

I know you are right about C increasing iron absorption, and I

definitely should have thought to mention that. I do take my vitamin

C at bedtime, NOT with meals, and take my calcium with meals, to help

prevent iron absorption. However, I am also taking that amount, along

with 100mg zinc daily because I have rapidly (to me) advancing

macular degeneration in one eye and this has been shown to help slow

it down. I hope - yes, I'm desperate! (I really like my eyes alot!

Reading is my main form of entertainment!) As for the E - I know it's

still a controversial topic. I have way over a dozen articles - some

abstracts of studies, some articles by nutritionists quoting other

studies, one VERY long article evaluating hepatic stellate cells as a

target for the treatment of liver fibrosis which mentions vitamin E

as one possibility that may help prevent fibrosis (but more study

needed); most are on humans, a few are on animals (rats mostly I

think!). In some of these vitamin E is just barely mentioned, perhaps

just one of several things studied. In others it was the main subject

of the study, either alone or with other antioxidents. The doses in

these studies ranged from 300mg twice a day, to between 400IU daily

to 1200IU daily. Only three of the articles I have deal specifically

with HCV. (Another was specifically on HBV.) One used a dose of 544IU

daily (I don't know where they came up with that strange amount), one

was 400IU twice a day, and another was 1200IU daily. Another study

(also in those with HCV) was the one done to see if vitamin C and E

could delay the hemolytic anemia caused by ribavirin, it used 800IU

daily. All of these studies are small so I realize no real,

significant conclusions can be reached by any of them. Most of these

studies say more study is needed. I've never posted most of them

because they can sound kind of boring, and because I know they are

not significant, in and of themselves. But ALL show at least some

trend to improvement of the condition of the liver, or increased

response with interferon, and none showed any harm at all. I wish

someone would actually do a large study using E (rather than just say

it should be done), all the small ones are very interesting, and show

some good possibilities. I'm afraid that it may never happen, since

like herbs, the drug companies really aren't going to make any money

on vitamin E. It's pretty cheap and readily available. The only

caution I found was at higher doses it could inhibit clotting, and

not to take more than either 800IU or 1200IU (differing opinions) if

you have clotting problems, and the upper safe limit to take (before

toxic levels are reached) is 1000 milligrams (from the Institute of

Medicine (IOM) panel.) Converting that to IU should be about 2222IU.

That is all information for the SYNTHETIC form of vitamin E. If the

natural form is taken I found it recommended not to take more than

200IU - 400IU daily. My own doctor kind of rolled his eyes when I

said how much E I was taking (along with my C, selenium, and milk

thistle), but my clotting is great, and my biopsy was also great. He

thought I was wasting my money too, but the only thing I really

splurge on is the milk thistle. Everything else is cheap. However, I

do value your opinion.

Claudine, You have researched the topic well and I wont disagree.

However theres is no hard data on this. It is best to keep it below 800 mg max.

Ok Doc - for you, I will go back to 800IU

Not too many doctors would even go to the trouble of showing any

I go to the Hoffman Center in NYC.....I don't believe there is anything wrong

with taking no more than 400 units of vitamin E daily.

I'll ask tomorrow when I'm there to make sure.

It was actually at a Health and Wellness Expo put on by 710am - WOR and Dr.

Hoffman....that I heard Dr. D'adamo Speak.

Hi all,

Following up on my first day's experience with the Vitamin E

supplement " Cataplex E " , I noticed that in the days which

followed, this supplement has the same adverse effect on

me that the essential fatty acid supplements do -- suffocation

and panic attacks. I suppose this should not be a surprise,

as this particular Vitamin E supplement is derived from

animal fat, so probably has fatty acids in it.

Further research has led me to believe that these may be

symptoms of acidosis. Also backing this up is that known

alkalizing supplements like Megahydrin and superfood powder

help alleviate these side effects.

Also, my need for EMF protection devices is still less

than " normal " while taking these supplements, and the

supplements do have other noticeable benefits -- increase

in energy being the prime one, improved skin color being

another. Previously I stated that the Springlife polarizers

worsened any existing panic attacks, but I now see that the

Quantum Products also worsen this effect.

(as an example of increased energy, I was up and active

from 3:30 am to 11:30 pm the other day, and at the end

of this 19-hour day I was still full of energy!)

So finding the proper alkalizer seems to be in order

to help counter this side effects. The ones I've got work

a little but not well enough. I'm going to try Standard

Process' " Organically Bound Minerals " , which is advertised

as being good for suffocation and panic attacks... (although

so was the Cataplex E!)

[Guest guest]

Hi Marc,

I looked at the links to that product. It looks interesting,

although I'd have some questions for them before I tried it. -Can't

recall what all at the moment.

Vit. E thins the blood, strengthens the blood vessels, and w/o

looking it up to double check- I think it also helps get more oxygen

carried in the blood.

Of course anyone can have any kind of reaction to anything, I know

they said their E is natural, but legally to be labeled that way, it

doesn't have to be 100%. I would guess they wouldn't add synthetic,

but you never know.

I have read that some people can get headaches from 'large' doses,

like 800 IU, although I've never experienced it. Sometimes upset

stomach, but again I don't know if that was tested with natural, or

synthetic.

I didn't see that it said it contained tocotrienols? The very, very,

best vitamin E complex I have ever used, when I can get it is by

GNLD, it's all natural (or was last I bought it, it wouldn't hurt to

double check, as they have changed some other products), it has

tocopherols and tocotrienols in it. Anyway, it's just another one,

if this continues to give you trouble. You'd have to do a search on

the web, unless there happens to be a higher level distributor listed

in the phone book, maybe under health or nutrition.

I've been trying for several days to recall what I discovered to help

get rid of panic attacks (emf attacks) not related to spiritual

matters, it works, but I've forgotten.

For lungs, a very few drops of pure Anise oil on the lower area of

both lungs may help. It loosens me right up. Not for regular use

though.

Good luck,

It seems that a variety of things which contain unsaturated

fatty acids have noticeably boosted my energy levels... which

then gives way to adverse side effects. I've had this happen

with Modifilan (seaweed extract), chia seeds, cod liver

oil, and now the natural vitamin E supplement " cataplex E2 " .

Hi there,

I recently had some surgery and was told by my surgeon to stop all

vitamin E. The amount in a multi-vitamin, however is, fine. As for flying - I

think different docs have different guidelines. I do know a few on this list

flew within a few days of surgery. I'm sure they will chime in.

I am having a VERY hard time finding Vitamin E that fits the bill for us. We

keep a biblical diet here, which means no pork. And so, I need one without

gelatin. The only ones without gelatin have soy in them too. Anyone have one

they can reccomend? I will use tinctures if I need to.

+++Hi Vicky,

I recommend Natural Factors Clear Base Vitamin E, but I don't know if the

gelatin is vegetable or animal based - you could write to the company to find

out.

However, you can prick the softgel with a pin and squeeze out the oil to take

it.

It is on my iHerb page. If you haven't ordered from iHerb before you get $5.00

off your first order when you give them my Rewards Number. There's a special on

this month, so if you order I can get more commissions, which helps me out:

Thanks, bee, but due to faith issues that wouldn't be acceptable. And an FYI -

if a product says gelatin in it it is pretty much guaranteed to be made from

pork unless it says kosher gelatin or fish gelatin or vegetable gelatin.

We keep a biblical diet here, which means no pork. And so, I need one without

gelatin. The only ones without gelatin have soy in them too. Anyone have one

they can reccomend? I will use tinctures if I need to.
