Re: Re: Some ongoing vitamin A research I'm stockpiling

[Guest guest]

Dear Cheryl and anyone else who cares to comment,

It is usually very difficult to draw conclusions from abstracts, especially

lists of abstracts, that don't contain crucial information such as the

definition of " excessive. " I greatly appreciate the time you took to compile

this information, but it doesn't tell me anything about whether what I am taking

is " excessive. " Would it be possible to summarize what you read? Then I can

use the information.

Thank you!

Hi,

This wasn't about birth defects or government literature. It's

about overdosing with the use of supplements. On pubmed there is

case after case after case. Below is a very, very small sampling of

what's been published. The overdoses were from both natural

and synthetic.

I'm glad you're not encouraging the use of outrageous amounts since

there are cases of children being overdosed even 25yrs ago.

Excessive vitamin A can damage their brain, liver, spleen, bones,

eyes, sperm cells and just about every cell and organ in the body.

There is even literature on increased cancer risk.

Optic disk findings in hypervitaminosis A.

Marcus DF, Turgeon P, Aaberg TM, Wiznia RA, Wetzig PC, Bovino JA.

Three cases of papilledema secondary to chronic excessive vitamin A

intake are presented, and the optic disk changes are documented with

intravenous fluorescein angiography. Two of the three patients

reported in this study were symptomatic with blurred vision and

systemic complaints. The symptoms of blurred vision and systemic

complaints disappeared within one week, and papilledema resolved

over several months after discontinuance of vitamin A. The

fluorescein angiographic changes observed in the optic disk of

patients with hypervitaminosis A are similar to those associated

with other known causes of papilledema. Since vitamin A is a

nonprescription drug, and its indiscriminate use is potentially

great, any history of vitamin ingestion should be elicited during

the evaluation of papilledema.

Andy...I have read the literature and I'm not talking about death.

I'm not sure why you're trying to discount information based on

actual cases from many different sources based on actual findings in

their patients.

As one non-medical professional to another....it's something parents

should at least be aware of. (especially when we keep reading about

children taking excessive doses developing the symptoms of poisoning

like rashes, blurred vision, headaches, etc.)

I'm not going to argue with you about the validity of the

findings...although I'd imagine the parents of children with

increased intercranial pressure, blurred vision, seizures, etc. or

who died during the VitA megadosing campaign probably would.

Dear Dan and ,

Our DAN! dr, Dr. Miriam Jang,MD is doing some reseach on Vitamin A. All she told

me is that is has to do with Vitamin A deficiency causing autism. I don't know

if you want to bouce information off of her. By the way she is the parent of an

autistic child herself and she really has her heart in helping these kids. Her

phone number is (415) 457-3193.

Good Work!
