at John Sealy Hospital circa 1962. An M.D. named Alberto Serrano and associates were treating a group of Type I diabetic children using very large doses of vitamin A as part of their protocol. The procedure involved administering 75,000 to 100,000 units daily for 7 days and then suspending
Vitamin A use for 14 days (for reducing Vitamin A toxic effects}. Quite serendipitously, one child was presenting with a disorder requiring elevated vitamin E supplementation and was, accidentally,
continued on the high vitamin A regime for a continuous 14 day period-----without any untoward side effects. Since the only protocol difference between this single child and the general group was the vitamin E supplementation, logic dictated a connection. The attending physicians inaugurated an
experimental protocol evaluating the effects of vitamin E on reducing the toxic effects of high-dose vitamin A, using adult humans. The results were quite encouraging, and demonstrated that vitamin E did, indeed, exhibit such an effect. Sometimes, at levels of only 200 I.U. daily, vitamin E increased the vitamin A tolerance level by almost 100% (e.g. from 50,000 to 100,00 I.U.), for up to 21 days in adult subjects.
As these events transpired many years ago, my memory is not trustworthy enough to establish exact, reliable, figures.....but the relationship of vitamin E for mitigating the effects
of excess vitamin A, remain quite clear.
Persons undergoing protocols requiring high dosage vitamin A might be well served to investigate the ameliorating effects of concomitant vitamin E supplementation.
These comments are not to be construed as any form of medical advice, but just as the residue from knowledge of experimental researches executed some years past.
