I hesitate to become embroiled in a commentary controversy regarding
Vitamin A overdose toxic qualities. However, it may be of value to remind the
participants that some interesting research was executed in the early 1970s
which directly addressed this circumstance. An Argentinian M.D. (I believe it
was Alberto Serano) and some of his colleagues at John Sealy Hospital
(Galveston, Texas)were addressing a disorder incurred by young children, which
required large doses of Vitamin A. The protocol involved administering 100,000
I.U. per day. The general tolerance level of these children displayed to be a
maximum of Seven (7) continuous days before hyper-vitaminosis presented....at
which time suspension was required for about ten days before reinstitution
could safely be executed. A serendipitous occurrence manifested....by chance.
One patient was overlooked during one course of the protocol and continued to
receive the high vitamin A dose until the NEXT round was completed. The staff
was astonished how this could have happened....all agreed the child was well
beyond the "historical limits"
tolerance level of this, particular, protocol. Close scrutiny revealed the
ONLY variation in protocol content experienced by this child, and the rest of
the group, to be the fact he was receiving 200 I.U. of Natural Source Vitamin
E------daily for a secondary affliction. Following investigations confirmed
that Vitamin E given as an ancillary companion to the high-dose vitamin
A......ameliorated the hypervitaminosis previously presenting among the entire
protocol population.
I hope this information is of value to some of the list membership.
Sincerely, Brooks Bradley
