Should I stop Vit A?

Hi Bee

I am wondering about stopping Vit A for a time as I think I might be

experiencing mild toxicity symptoms. I've had a little bit of dry scabbing under

my nose and then in the past few days have developed a dry flaky chin, which

I've never had before.

I've been taking the recommended dosage and cod liver oil and sometimes eating

liver, which didn't seem like an excessive amount. However, I've been reading

that if you are zinc deficient, then you won't have the enzyme needed to release

the stored form of the vitamin from the liver, and zinc prevents possible

toxicity. Every time I've been tested for zinc (hair tests etc) I have come up

zinc deficient, even though I take it and eat a lot of eggs and offal etc. I

know that in stress and adrenal fatigue we use up a lot of zinc.

Anyway, shall I give the pre-formed vitamin A a rest and just carry on taking

the cod liver oil? I am taking Vit D too at the moment, as we have no light here

and very short dark days in the North of England.

thanks
