And when you get better remember (Samuel Hahnemann MD)

It was a bit odd to have a conversation with my 67-year-old father about his sex life

Im on this medicine Andrew he said Its for angina My doctor sentme to a heart specialist and they both agreed I have to take it Theproblem is that it causes impotence

I let that image sink in for a minute as he continued

Is there any one of your natural remedies that will substitute for theangina medicine he asked

Historically it was an unusual event for my dad to ask my view aboutanything One of his mottoes was If I want your opinion Ill give it toyou So I was duly impressed with the gravity of the situation

Vitamin E Pa I said High doses of vitamin E have been used to treatangina since the early 1950s Drs Wilfrid and Evan Shute who wereboth brothers and cardiologists gave patients somewhere between1600 to 2000 International Units (IU) of vitamin E daily and it eliminatedangina symptoms in hundreds and hundreds of documented cases Ifully expected him to ridicule the idea and I was surprised and not a littlegratified when he thoughtfully nodded his head

OK he said and we gratefully moved on to another topic

My dad started at about 400 IU a day gradually working up to 1600 IUover a period of a few weeks Ive always maintained that the body likesgradual This goes for decreasing drugs as well as for increasing

vitamins Pas GP was an open-minded man quite British and quitewilling to offer my father a dosage-reduction schedule for his medication

And that is all it took

Pa called a couple of weeks later

Is it all right to take this much vitamin E he asked



How much are you up to Pa

Uh 1200 a day

Is it the D-alpha and mixed natural tocopherols form of E that Isuggested

Let me get the bottle he said and I heard the phone drop and bang onthe table

A long-distance minute later he was back

ldquoYeprdquo he said ldquoIt says bdquoD-alpha tocopherol plus mixed naturaltocopherols‟

Thats the one So how do you feel

Pretty fair he said Im practically off the medication now

Any symptoms I asked

No

Why dont you go to 1600 with no drugs I said

OK

The subject did not come up again for months What can I say This ishow our family did things

So Pa hows that angina I asked one day

What angina he said

Your angina Pa your angina

I dont have angina

Used to Pa Maybe a year ago

I never had any angina he said

Two doctors said you did Pa They had you on medicationremember

Oh that I havent had any sign of that since I took the vitamin E



OK Keep taking the E Pa

I do 1600 every day

And that was that He never had angina symptoms again

Angina What angina

That was nice

Usually the fur really flies when you bring up the Shute brothers vitaminE treatment for cardiovascular disease This has been a controversialarea of medicine for 60 years Most textbooks state that E is of novalue here Textbooks have said for years that E is a quacks cure insearch of a disease There is considerable evidence that the texts arewrong and that the Shutes were right

Consider intermittent claudication which is calf muscle pain uponwalking Even banal nutrition textbooks acknowledge scientific proof of this successful treatment with vitamin E This therapy helps reduce thearterial blockage says Williams Nutrition and Diet Therapy SeventhEdition (Mosby 1993 p 186) a standard dietetics work

Is there something so special about the arteries between the knee andthe ankle What about reducing the blockage in other arteries This isthe whole idea of using Vitamin E for circulatory diseases

Medical doctors Wilfrid and Evan Shute of London Ontario successfullytreated well over 30000 cardiovascular disease patients with up to 3200

IU of vitamin E daily For that achievement they were ostracized fromtheir medical society Here are the principles of the therapy

1) Vitamin E has an oxygen-sparing effect on the heart enabling theheart can do more work on less oxygen The benefit for recovering heartattack patients is considerable 1200 to 2000 IU daily relieves anginavery well

2) Vitamin E moderately prolongs prothrombin clotting time and has alimited Coumadinwarfarin effect This is the reason behind the Shutesusing vitamin E for thrombophlebitis and related conditions Their doseabout 1000 to 2000 IU daily

3) Vitamin E dilates and promotes collateral circulation and benefitsdiabetes patients or anyone threatened with gangrene Dose tailored topatient about 800 IU or more

4) Vitamin E strengthens and regulates heartbeat like digitalis (foxglove)and its derivatives at a dose adjusted between 800 to 3000 IU daily



5) Vitamin E reduces scarring when frequently applied topically to burnsor sites of lacerations or surgical incisions along with a daily oral dose of 800 IU

6) Vitamin E helps gradually break down clots at a maintained dose of between 800 IU and 3000 IU

7) Vitamin E is vastly safer than drugs as doses of up to 56000 IU per day fail to harm adult humans Gradual dosage increase is advised andpatients with congestive heart failure rheumatic hearts or high bloodpressure need careful medical supervision

So why hasnt vitamin E been more highly regarded in medicine Ambiguous results from a rather small number of highly publicizedpoorly controlled studies thats why The most common reason for irreproducibility of successful vitamin E cures is either a failure to useenough or a failure to use the natural (D-alpha) form or both Suchstudies must be weighed against the Shutes 30000 cured patients andtheir four books Complete Updated Vitamin E Book (Keats) HealthPreserver (Rodale 1977) Vitamin E for Ailing and Healthy Hearts (Pyramid 1975) and Your Child and Vitamin E (Keats 1979)

And vitamin E is safe remarkably non-toxic In fact toxicity symptomshave not been reported even at intakes of 800 IU per kilogram of bodyweight daily for 5 months according to the Food and Nutrition Board hisdemonstrated safe level would work out to be around 56000 IU daily for an average adult some 5000 times the RDA

Here is an example Overexposure to oxygen has been a major cause of blindness in premature infants Oxygen-tent retina damage is nowprevented by giving preemies vitamin E a natural antioxidant WilliamsNutrition and Diet Therapy 6th ed indicates the dosage as 100 mg Eper kilogram body weight That dose (around 200 IU for a preemie) isequivalent to an adult dose of about 7000 IU for an average-weightadult There have been no detrimental side effects said the New England Journal of Medicine Dec 3 1981 Nevertheless the nutritiontextbook advised that healthy persons stand the chance of developingsigns of toxicity with the megadoses that are recommended in thesestudies That statement is not true

In less than healthy persons there are some valid cautions in giving

large doses of vitamin E Among hypertensive patients sudden largevitamin E increases cause temporary increases in blood pressure Thesolution is to increase the vitamin gradually with proper monitoring(which hypertensive patients should have anyway) To avoid anypossible risks of an asymmetric heart contraction patients withrheumatic hearts or congestive heart failure need small doses (around75 IU) and increases under medical supervision It is best to inquireabout all of these conditions when taking or submitting a patient historyFor additional information it is most worthwhile to contact the Shute



Institute London Ontario Canada or read any books by Wilfrid or EvanShute MD If their books are hard to find try Interlibrary Loan (ILL) atany public library

Why supplement with vitamin E Our need for vitamin E increases withincreased age exposure to toxins (smoking air pollution chemical

oxidants) pregnancy and lactation Even an increased consumption of polyunsaturated fats requires more vitamin E to protect the unsaturatedfatty acids from free radical attack For most healthy adults an optimumdaily amount of vitamin E would probably be about 600 IU It mustcertainly be higher than the US RDA of only about 10 or 15 IU

It is true that many foods contain vitamin E such as milk products eggsmeats fish whole-grain cereals and whole-grain breads wheat germand leafy vegetables However the vitamin is present in these foods onlyin very small quantities Americans do not get enough vitamin E in their diet and it is impossible to get even 100 IU per day from even the finestof diets This is at least partly due to the widespread milling of flour since

the start of the twentieth century Coincidentally heart disease has alsobeen on the steep increase since 1900 Very likely there is a connectionhere

The New England Journal of Medicine published two papers in the May20 1993 issue (Vol 328 pp 1444-1456) which both supported vitamin Emegadoses reporting an approximate 40 reduction in cardiovascular disease Nearly 40000 men and 87000 women took part in the studyThe more vitamin E they took and the longer they took it the lesscardiovascular disease they experienced

And the Shute brothers those quacks pointed it out first sixty yearsago They said We didnt make vitamin E this versatile God did Ignoreit at your peril

And ignore it we have Even in the very issue carrying the two veryfavorable major vitamin E studies mentioned above was an editorialarticle advising doctors not to use it
