Gale, you may want to read some of the recent topics in the adjunctive therapy forum discussing Vit. E. A very recent study that is summarized there as well as on the part of this OCF website that summarizes research showed taking E actually increased the likelihood of recurrence with head and neck cancers. I remember this distinctly because I was taking Vit E when I read that and had just ordered two more bottles!
Its also a good example of how complex all this stuff is in terms of what helps and what does not.
