 Vitamin E
Years ago, researchers studied the effects of vitamin e in reducing the difficulties of menopause, and most of these studies found vitamin e to be helpful. vitamin e has also been shown to reduce PMS-related breast tenderness, nervousness, depression, headache, fatigue, and insomnia. Newer research suggests that low vitamin e levels are linked to estrogen dominance. Furthermore, vitamin e deficiency has been found to inhibit estrogen detoxification.

 REPPED: Headlines are once again ablaze with the shocking news that taking vitamin e will kill you. Once again, the entire study was based on people taking synthetic vitamin e, which has the opposite molecular structure of natural vitamin e (the kind of vitamin e found in nuts, seeds and other foods). Natural vitamin e is well known to prevent heart attacks and enhance cardiovascular disease, and there exists an abudance of clinical evidence to support that notion. Highlighting the dangers of synthetic vitamins is a favorite scare tactic of the conventional medical community. |

 When combined with vitamin A, vitamin e is especially effective at preventing certain skin cancers. vitamin e also reduces the appearance of wrinkles, and, when applied topically, soothes dry or rough skin. Food sources of vitamin e include wheat germ oil, sunflower seeds, safflower and sunflower oils, almonds, spinach, peaches, prunes, tomatoes, cabbage, asparagus, and avocados.
Avoid synthetic vitamin e supplements, as they have been shown to actually harm health. Only consume natural vitamin e from a reputable source such as the Life Extension Foundation (www.LEF. |

 Most of the debate on this issue, in fact, has been about the dosage of vitamin e that would be considered safe for public consumption. There has been no discussion about the difference between natural vitamin e and synthetic vitamin e. There has also been an effort to get this fear to spill over to other antioxidants. The implied message in many news reports is that if vitamin e causes an increased risk in death, then all antioxidant supplements must be dangerous to your health. |

 That's how conventional medicine smeared the reputation of vitamin e, by the way. Some vitamin e haters rounded up a bunch of people dying from advanced stage heart disease, then they gave them synthetic vitamin e (i.e. a non-natural chemical) in very low doses. When the people started dying off from their heart disease, the researchers put the blame squarely on vitamin e. Hence the bizarre news headlines in late 2004 proclaiming, "Vitamin E will kill you!" It's all nonsense. |

 You should also look for a vitamin e supplement that contains tocotrienols, another set of very important heart-healthy compounds in the vitamin e family. Natural vitamin e is unquestionably more effective than any of the synthetic kinds.
The studies that showed benefit for insulin metabolism used 900 IUs. vitamin e is generally sold in 400 IU capsules. If you're using vitamin e for its general protective effect, add at least 400 IUs to your daily regimen, preferably 800. If you're using it for its therapeutic effects on blood sugar metabolism, take at least 800 IUs. |

 Researchers tested synthetic, low-dose versions of vitamin e on populations with high risks of heart attack or stroke. When deaths occurred within the sample population group, the headlines read, "Vitamin E causes Heart Attack!" It's a preposterous conclusion; but this is how deeply distorted science has become today in its quest to promote the interests of corporations. (In truth, researchers weren't even using vitamin e, they were using a synthetic chemical with a molecular structure that isn't the same as vitamin e from plants. |

| Sadly, most people believe the vitamin e scare stories and change their behavior to stop taking both vitamin e and other nutritional supplements altogether. And that, of course, seems to be precisely what conventional medicine wants people to do. |

 One such product, vitamin e, has been widely recommended by experts to slow progression of AD and aging in general, although this approach is now falling out of favor. Recent studies have failed to confirm initial impressions that vitamin e may be helpful in slowing the progression of memory problems.10 In fact, in 2005, researchers at Johns Hopkins reported that doses of vitamin e in excess of 400 milligrams have serious risks, and may be associated with a higher overall risk of mortality. |

 Vitamin E (tocopherol)
Essential for healing, muscle, nerve and blood maintenance, vitamin e also stabilises cell membranes. It has been recognised as an antioxidant, protecting vulnerable chemicals in the body from being destroyed by free radicals. It protects cells of the body from damage by environmental pollution.
Vitamin E is found in many foods, but wheatgerm, almonds and vegetable oils are particularly rich in it.
Zinc
Zinc is a part of many enzymes in the body and is needed for the formation of proteins and insulin. |

 Mixed vitamin e," or if you can't find that, look for d-alpha tocopherols (not dl). Your fish oil supplement may contain some vitamin e as a preservative, but take a separate supplement to be sure to get enough. Contrary to earlier studies, emerging research suggests that for vitamin e to be effective, doses as high as 1,600-2,000 IU may be needed. Typical daily dose: 400-2,000 IU
Vitamin C Vital to repairing many of the body's systems, vitamin C is also the single most important co-factor for repair of collagen breaks in your blood vessels and skin. |

 One day, vitamin e is good; the next, we find out that the benefits of vitamin e supplements have been oversold. Large doses of some supplements such as vitamin A, vitamin B6 and vitamin e may even be harmful. If you are concerned about a particular nutrient or supplement, in addition to discussing it with your health-care provider, peruse the National Institutes of Health Office of Dietary Supplements website for data on a wide range of dietary supplements and their risks and safety (www.ods.od.nih.gov).

Calcium-Magnesium Combo
Most women and men find it difficult to get the recommended 1,200-1,500 mg of calcium per day from their diet. Calcium intake should therefore be supplemented with a calcium-magnesium combination supplement. |

 Vitamin E In your diet, People who consume the highest amount of vitamin e are 43 ideally percent less likely to get Alzheimer's. You can get the vitamin e you need by eating just 3 ounces of nuts or seeds a day (about 15.5 milligrams), which is our preferred method. Alternatively, you can take a 400 IU (international unit) supplement daily if you take it with vitamin C and are not taking statin drugs like Lipitor.

 These synthetic vitamins – which are really just industrial chemicals – may be called "Vitamin E" or "Vitamin A" or even "Vitamin C" but they have no functional resemblance to the real vitamins that occur in nature. Every single study over the past two decades that has sought to discredit vitamin e, for example, focused on using synthetic vitamin e in order to show harm. It is curious that no researcher from the world of conventional medicine will ever test the natural, full-spectrum vitamins, nutrients and phytochemicals that appear in nature. You know why? |

 Nature's Way filed a lawsuit to get their product returned, but was forced to remove the natural vitamin e from the formulation, as the FDA insisted that vitamin e had not been approved as an additive for primrose oil.
1992 - The Tahoma Clinic FDA Raid
On May 6, 1992, FDA agents joined armed King County police officers in an armed raid against the clinic of Dr. Jonathan Wright, an M.D. and natural health practitioner. His crime? He was treating patients with injectable high-dose B vitamins -- a safe, natural treatment -- and in doing so was actually helping patients heal. |

 Cabot's recommended daily supplements for andropause:
* Vitamin E: 500 IU
¦ Magnesium: 500 mg
¦ Zinc: 50 mg
¦ Selenium: 50 meg
¦ Manganese: 5 mg
¦ Ginseng: 2 to 4 grams
These supplements, taken daily, are designed to help the male body cope with the natural decline of testosterone. vitamin e and magnesium strengthen the heart and circulation, including blood supply to the pelvic region. Zinc can boost male virility and reduce prostate problems such as swelling. Ginseng, for example, acts as a glandular tonic, helping to improve the function of the testicles. |

 When refined, the fiber, antioxidants including vitamin e and selenium, as well as a slew of other key micronutrients like magnesium, zinc, potassium and the B vitamins are stripped right off. More than 50 percent of the thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, B6, folate, and vitamin e are lost. By law flour manufacturers have to fortify their refined flour with some of the same nutrients that were milled away. And those fortifications don't include important phytochem-icals like lignans, phenolic acids, phytoestrogens, and other key nutrients. |

 Look for antioxidants such as vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin e, beta-carotene, lycopene, lutein, bioflavanoids, resveratrol, zinc, and selenium. You'll want a formulation that includes the full spectrum of B vitamins, including the activated forms of B2 and Bfi (riboflavin-5 -phosphate and pyridoxal-5 -phosphate, respectively). You'll also want a multivitamin formula that includes vitamin D3, and make sure the vitamin e is in the form of d-alpha-tocopherol. Avoid the "dl" form, which is synthetic. You'll want a high-potency vitamin C (about 1,000 mg) provided by ascorbic acid. |

Residents of the United States like to think they live in a nation based on solid science. Although there is plenty of rigorous science taking place within the United States, much of the most important science produced today is based entirely on creating the illusion that something sold by a corporation is good, or that new regulations that require businesses to conduct themselves with environmental responsibility are not necessary. |
