Treating Burns Naturally: Vitamin E topically and orallyRead the article this discussion is about

» biogardener - Vitamin E topically and orally This is how I understand freckles and age spots from the reading which I have done. They are the result of fat going rancid. Vitamin E keeps the fat from turning rancid. That is why I squeeze the content of a couple of vitamin E capsules into every bottle of oil which I open, and I also keep the oil in a dark place. Light causes fat to go rancid.People with fair skin are more susceptible to light and the fat in their skin turns rancid more than that of people with dark skin. They therefore need higher amounts of vitamin E. I have found the 400 IU capsules of vitamin E to be the most price effective, and I only buy those from natural sources, because they are not much more expensive than those from synthetic sources and are twice as effective. My son started taking one 400 IU vitamin E capsule daily when he was younger than your son, and he now takes 3 of the capsules and I take 2 or 3. I applied the topical application daily until all freckles and age spots had disappeared along with the oral dosage. I continue the oral dosage and only use the topical one if new spots appear or if I have a burn or other injury. I must again warn against synthetic oil-based vitamins. They can be toxic. Be sure yours are from natural sources. Apply the vitamin E very thinly or else it will end up on your clothes. Apply it when the skin is warm. It will soak in better. -- posted by biogardener
