Guest guest Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 BG -- Just wondering how many drops you took a day, and also how long ago was this -- have you had to keep taking them? I have TERRIBLE night vision and my eyes are very sensitive to light -- all of which has been worse during the last 2 years, while the rest of me has been worse. But every time I've tried " A " , I think it causes headaches? Not sure, but perhaps the product you use is more natural, less refined with chemicals, etc.? Anyway, your story is encouraging, and would like to hear more when you get the chance.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Dan, This is a link to Biotics Research products Bio-AE-mulsion and Bio- AE-mulsion Forte. The dosage is only one or two drops a day, depending on the one you choose. http://www.bioticsresearch.com/ProductLine.htm I think it is important that each of us studies and knows about this supplement and other necessary ones, as much as possible; and show our information and discuss it with our healthcare providers. I have keyboarded the following information from Dr. Balch's " Prescription for Nutritional Healing " -- under Vitamins, then Vitamin A. Dr. Balch says, " Vitamin A prevents night blindness and other eye problems, as well as some skin disorders, such as acne. It enhances immunity, may heal gastrointestinal ulcers, protects against pollution and cancer formation, and is needed for the maintenance and repair of epithelial tissue, of which the skin and mucous membranes are composed. It is important in the formation of bones and teeth, aids in fat storage, and protects against colds, influenza and infection of the kidneys, bladder, lungs, and mucous membranes. Vitamin A acts as an antioxidant, helping to protect the cells against cancer and other diseases (see Antioxidants, Part 1) and is necessary for new cell growth. This important vitamin also slows the aging process. Protein cannot be utilized by the vody without vitamin A. " A deficiency of vitamin A may be apparent if dry hair or skin, dryness of the conjunctiva and cornea, poor growth, and/or night blindness is present. Other possible results of vitamin A deficiency include abscesses in the ears, insomnia, fatigue, reproductive difficulties, sinusitis, pneumonia, and frequent colds and other respiratory infections; skin disorders, including acne, and weight loss. " The carotenoids are a class of compounds related to vitamin A. Some act as antioxidants or have other important functions. The best known of the carotenoids is beta-carotene, but there are others, including alpha- and gamma-carotene, lutein, and lycopene. When food or supplements containing beta-carotene are consumed, the beta-carotene is converted into vitamin A in the liver. According to recent reports, beta-carotene appears to aid in cancer prevention by scavenging, or neutralizing, free radicals. " Taking large amounts of vitamin A over long periods can be toxic to the body, mainly the liver. [note from bg: Dr. Balch goes on to describe this toxity at length, and says:] Beta-carotene does not have the same effect as vitamina A in the body and is not harmful in larger amounts unless you cannot convert beta-carotene into vitamin A. People with hypothyroidism often have this problem. [note from bg: people with auto-immune disorders frequently have hypothyroidism.] It is important to take only natural beta- carotene or a natural carotenoid complex. Betatene is the trade name for a type of carotenoid complex extracted from sea algae. It is used as an ingredient in various products by different manufacturers. [At this point, Dr. Balch gives Sources of natural vitamin A.; then Cautions below.] " Cautions If you have liver disease, do not take a daily dose of over 10,000 iu's of Vitamin A in pill form, or any amount of cod liver oil. . . . . If you have hypothyroidism, avoid beta-carotene, because your body probably cannot convert beta-carotene into vitamin A.
