Vitamin E... the natural healer

Wednesday, April 18, 2012 Vitamin E... the natural healer Not so fast!  It is a wonderful natural healer UNLESS you have Celiac Disease.  A lover and a fighter all at the same time.  Damn you tiny golden capsules!    Most, but not all, vitamin E is derived from wheat germ.  WHEAT germ.  Really?  So the sticky goodness that I often apply to help in healing Libby's lips either from the constant fever blisters she gets, or from her biting the hell out of them because of the fever blisters... is not a good thing for her?  Heal the lips, hurt the gut. Just more ying and yang,  push and pull, one step forward~two steps back, nonsense in this 'find the gluten' game. A manual please, Mother Nature. Please read more about this yourselves to be sure,  and draw your own informed conclusions.  I've read studies where doctors say skin absorbs what is topically applied, others say it cannot unless 'engineered chemically to do just that (i.e. medicinal patches).'  I found these two interesting links today while trying to find more info on GF vitamins, lotions, shampoos etc. http://www.celiacchicks.com/products/vitamin-e.html http://www.greatcakessoapworks.com/handmade-soap-blog/index.php/how-much-does-the-skin-absorb/ Posted by Kel I Am at 10:51 PM 0 comments Email This BlogThis!
