Guest guest Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 Hi, So take Vitamin E! The old amprenavir contained a fairly high dose of Vitamin E, but the new fosamprenavir does not. I've never heard of Kaletra including any Vitamin E. Yes, there's an old wives tale about too much Vitamin E being hazardous but I've never seen any solid research on it - Charlie? ? There was the story that it thinned the blood but again, I've never seen anything serious about that.

Alpha did not reduce gamma's benefit.) In a Brief Communication published in the March 2, 2005 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, researchers analyzed data from the Alpha-Tocopherol, Beta-Carotene Cancer Prevention (ATBC) Study, which found an association between supplementation with vitamin E and lower risk of prostate cancer among 29,133 men. For the current study, the researchers selected 100 participants who had developed prostate cancer during the ATBC study follow-up, and matched them with 200 subjects who did not have the disease. Based on blood samples taken at the beginning of the study, men with serum levels of alpha-tocopherol within the top one-third of participants had a 51 percent lower risk of developing prostate cancer than those whose levels were in the lowest third. Those with higher gamma- tocopherol levels were similarly protected, with a 43 percent reduction in risk. In addition, the reduction in cancer risk was even greater in those taking vitamin E supplements, providing evidence that alpha-tocopherol supplements were beneficial and did not negatively impact gamma-tocopherol status.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Dr. Grim, how much did you pay CBS consultant Dr. LaPouke(sp) to say that? They just has a story giving the results of a study of Vit. E reducing prostate cancer (It failed and went the wrong way by 17%!) Dr. La. went on to explain how Vitamins and Suppl were unregulated! Imagine that! He then dropped a bombshell by telling the anchor that most people could eliminate vitamins if they ate a balanced diet that included lots of fruits & vegetables! What will they think of next! - 65 yo super ob. male - 12mm X 13mm rt. a.adnoma with previous rt. flank pain. Treating with Meds. And DASH. . Current BP(last week ave): 125/73 Other Issues/Opportunities: OSA w Bi-Pap settings 13/19, DM2, and PTSD. Meds: Duloxetine hcl 80 MG, Mirtazapine 7.5 MG, Metoprolol Tartrate 200 MG, 81mg asprin, Metformin 2000MG and Spironolactone 50 MG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
