VITAMINS – VITAMIN A

At one time there was not much one could do about conjunctivitis and dehydration of the cornea caused by vitamin A deficiency.

While it was more common in infants and small children, adults were sometimes affected too. Vitamin A deficiency also predisposes one to pulmonary ailments, pneumonia, inflammation of the middle ear, suppurations and abscesses. So where do we find this important vitamin? In butter, cod-liver oil, dandelion leaves, stinging nettles, parsley, savoy cabbage and carrots. Fruits which contain the most vitamin A are apricots, dates and rose hips.

Vitamin A deficiency in children and adults can quickly be rectified by taking Vitaforce, rose hip conserve and date sugar. Children and patients whose assimilation is poor should take the condensed juice of organically grown raw spring carrots (Biocarottin), which has the additional advantage of being a liver remedy.

Natural food serves our purpose much better than anything else. To illustrate, 1 g of mother’s milk contains 2-5 international units (IU) of vitamin A; the same amount of blackcurrant juice, 3-5 IU, and rose hip conserve, 60-100 IU.
