Vitamin E – Your Cardiovascular’s Guardian
Pioneers Dr. Evan Shute and Dr. Wilfrid Shute, at their Shute Institute in London, Ontario, Canada, conducted thorough clinical research for over 30 years. They treated over 30,000 cardiovascular patients with high doses of natural source vitamin E with amazing success. Their extensive vitamin E work has been confirmed, contributed to and furthered by thousands of doctors and biochemists worldwide.
The primary function of vitamin E in the human body is to regulate and maintain the health of the entire cardiovascular system. Vitamin E also plays a vital role in the body’s defense against air pollution. It also helps to conserve oxygen within the body’s cells and bloodstream.
The possibility of using vitamin E as an antidote to smog has been researched by Dr. Al L. Tappel, Professor of Biochemistry at the University of California, Davis. He also believes that the natural antioxidation property of vitamin E can help reverse the ageing process. He recommends vitamin E supplements for everyone to help promote a healthier and longer life.
This oxygen conserving ability of vitamin E may also be effective in the relief or control of emphysema, the deadly disease of lung deterioration which has increased as our air has become more contaminated. Another healing trait of vitamin E oil or salve is an amazingly effective treatment for home application to minor burns, sunburn, skin rashes, etc.
Natural vitamin E supplements (d-alpha tocopherol) are available at health stores. If just starting on vitamin E, doctors recommend you begin with only 100 IUs daily. Gradually increase to 800 IUs for women and 1200 IUs for men. Raw wheat germ flakes (vacuum packed) and its oil are also good natural sources of vitamin E and available at health stores. Refrigerate both after opening!
Whole grain products are excellent sources of magnesium, vitamin E, and vital elements for maintaining a healthy heart and bones. Studies found that over 80% of the nutrients are lost in refining grains into white flour!
