The information below is quoted from
a speech delivered by Dr. Evan Shute of the Shute Foundation of London,
Ontario, Canada, to show how Vitamin E acts in the body:
NOTE: Dr. Evan Shute and his brother experimented with
and treated over 50,000 people in their world famous clinic for 15 years
with all-natural unesterified E like Unique®
E and obtained excellent results.
"The power of Vitamin E to treat and prevent heart disease of all
types, whether coronary or rheumatic, depends upon four chief characteristics:
| 1.
Vitamin E seems to be a natural anti-thrombin
in the human blood stream. It has been found
by Zierler of Johns Hopkins and the U.S. Navy Research Department
and Kay at Tulane to be a substance normally circulating in the
blood of all men which prevents clots occurring inside
the vessel. It is the only substance preventing the clotting
of blood which is not dangerous. It does not interfere with the
normal clotting of blood in a wound and with the normal healing
process. Indeed, it actually accelerates the healing of bums and
wounds.
|
| 2.
The second important effect of the use of Vitamin E is
oxygen conservation. It is a natural antioxidant in the
body. It has been shown by Houchin and Mattill, and this
has been confirmed by many workers, to decrease the oxygen requirement
of muscle by as much as 43 percent and makes the narrow stream
of blood which gets through the narrowed coronary artery in many
heart patients adequate to prevent the occurrence of anoxia (lack
of oxygen), which is the trigger that sets off anginal or heart
pain. Consequently, we have patients in Montreal who were once
unable to walk half a block without the occurrence of angina pectoris
but are now able to climb Mount Royal. Indeed, there is present
in my audience today at least one such patient.
|
| 3.
The third major function of Vitamin E is the prevention of excessive
scar tissue production and even, in some instances, the ability
to melt away unwanted scar. It has been proven to function
in this way in many areas of the body-from the hand, in Dupuytren's
contraction (Rochester, N.Y.)-to urinary tract strictures (Johns
Hopkins). |
4. It is
a dilator of blood vessels. This was beautifully demonstrated
by x-ray in rabbits injected before and after the administration
of Vitamin E by two workers in Florence, Italy. It opens
up new pathways in the damaged circulation, therefore, and by-passes
blocks produced by clots and hardened arteries. |
These four functions, all of them extensively
confirmed in animal experimentation and human clinical work, make it the
most valuable ally the cardiologist has yet found in the treatment of
heart disease. It has no rivals. No other substance has this array of
needful properties. This drug then becomes the first safe drug which can
be given to patients suffering from the results of a clot in a coronary
artery. There has been and still is no treatment at all for this type
of case except two mildly useful drugs, which can be administered with
great peril to the already precarious patient. Vitamin E replaces 'rest
and reassurance,' which have no authentic basis, with real help to the
damaged, laboring heart itself. It is the key both to the prevention and
treatment of all those conditions in which a lack of blood supply due
to thickened or blocked blood vessels or a lack of oxygen is a major part
or the whole story of the disease. As I have said, it has no rivals. No
pharmacologist or internist can suggest another substance with all the
powers and properties of this vitamin. "God made it unique
and we ignore it at our peril." (EMPHASIS OURS) |
