>Why do you think they are being vilified? I read
lots of things indicating how important vitamin A is,
and the simple fact that it is a vitamin means that it
is useful. But one cannot ignore that it IS toxic is
high dosages<
One cannot ignore the fact that colloidal silver
causes argyria. Unless one discovers that no
differentiation is made by doctors/scientists between
colloidal silver and silver proteins, salts, etc.,
which DO cause argyria. What is being vilified is
something CALLED Vit A which is NOT Vit A, but a
chemical approximation of it.
>The question is if too much vitamin A is toxic.<
That IS the question. Asking for the answer from
sources who refuse to even consider that there is a
difference between a chemical parody of a natural
substance and the natural substance itself can be very
misleading and uninformative.
>My sister spent a week in the hospital before they
discovered she had vitamin A poisoning a few decades
ago. I do not know if she was taking natural or
synthetic.<
Yet that is the whole point. You have come to the
conclusion that Vit A poisoning is possible, based
seemingly on the negative experience of your sister,
who overdosed on SOMETHING, but you dont know what
that something was. Your opinion seems also to have
been additionally formed by the declarations of
professionals who refuse to distinguish between a
vitamin and a chemical, just as they refuse to
distinguish between a silver colloid and a silver
protein. I agree that if I were to drink a gallon
bucket of fish liver oil, I would certainly become
highly nauseated, probably even sick. Just like too
much water, or too much anything. And theoretically it
is possible to drink too much CS, even though properly
made, but it is so unlikely it is ridiculous.
I am not concerned with the possibility of overdosing
on Vit A by ingesting huge, ridiculous quantities of
it. What matters to me is if such an overdose is
likely enough to make me need to be cautious. I do not
believe it is.
The experience of doctors and other health
professionals who have administered 1 to 3 million
units of Vit A from fish sources, plus the known
amounts of Vit A intake ingested on a regular basis by
Eskimo Indians without any noticeable disadvantage
(but distinct health benefits), make me believe that
it would be very difficult to hurt oneself with
natural, fish-source Vit A.
On the other hand, all the reports I have seen about
Vit A overdose have come from sources who almost
certainly used synthetic Vit A, or at best it cannot
be ascertained what was the source.
This is my own conviction, but I suspect this topic
would best be moved somewhere else.
