Guest guest Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 I just read that majorly increasing Vit E can raise BP levels! I have started increasing my Vit E in LARGE doses this week. Could THAT be my problem? Belinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Hi Belinda, Emotional stress, toxin load, malnutrition, electromagnetic interference, chronic infection or bowel dysbiosis, increase stress homones and reduce immune response; physical stress factors cause blood pressure elevation. The vitamin E story is probably junk on its own, but not taking supplements as your body needs them, in balance, could conceivably increase BP. In other words it might not be the high- E but the imbalance. Why would you take E in large doses? Unless you're a heart patient where you'd be taking 1000-1200 IU daily, 400-800 is fine. Most people are deficient in glutathione; you use precursors and selenium to keep it up. Gluathione recycles other antioxidants so you don't need to high-dose Duncan > Posted by: " belinda " booksnbabies booksnbabies > Thu Sep 28, 2006 8:22 pm (PDT) > > I just read that majorly increasing Vit E can raise BP levels!

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Thanks Duncan. I had been doing some reading on antioxidants and it seemed upping Vit E was a good thing to do! Well maybe NOT lol. Thank you. The Vitamin I take does have selenium in it. Belinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 See that's the thing - and why I tend to think it was the Vit E--- I already do the gralic, cabbage, apples etc - have started adding the celery. I drink water with lemon juice and was eating grapefruits - need to start that up again. I can't say I don't eat fat - mainly in the form of coconut oil and the teas are herbal..And I exercise daily. And it seem to come on suddenly - I guess that's why I worry with the kidney thing LOL Many thanks! I have also started taking hawthorne the last two days.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 My regime re high blood pressure and heart disease was/is: Eat lots of raw celery and carrots, and two+ cloves at least of garlic, and hot peppers every day. Eat macarrel, sardines, fish, broccoli, bananas, apples,cabbage, Oatmeal, and lots of grapefruit or oranges. DON’T eat any fried or dairy food or fat. Don’t drink any more than 1 cup of coffee/tea/soda a day. NO alcoholic beverages except a small glass of red wine in the evening, sometimes. Pizza and preserved meats are to be avoided. Suplements: Hawthorne Berries, Niacin, Aspirin, B12. Donate blood every three months. Ride a bike or walk a bit every day. Sweating is good.

Large dosages of vitamin E are cetainly NOT harmful, that is, unless they have soybean oil as one of the major components in your specific supplement. This is the reason we take standard process vitamin E with selenium. They do not contain any soybean oils. I have taken large amounts of vitamin E for YEARS, basically for these problems.... CVD, high blood pressure and menopause! Vitamin E benefits high blood pressure. I would be interested in seeing the article you're referencing. There is no basis for these remarks! my advice is to keep taking the vitamin E in the amounts you are accustomed to. Do not be intimidated but diligently search out your sources of information! www.standardprocess.com Regards, JoAnn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
