Asthma inflammation and Vit E: Prevention even with signs of aging

This is a very interesting study about how Vitamin E in its alpha-tocopherol form reduced lung inflammation in mice. What good news for asthmatics! One of my good friends, Dr. Kedar Prasad - an expert on vitamins and cancer treatment - has been touting the wonderfulness of the alpha-tocopherol form of Vitamin E for years. Acupuncture and Chinese herbal prescriptions may also reduce inflammation in the proper practitioner hands but maybe the addition of the alpha-tocopherol is a good thing. I'm certainly going to try it. Inflammation is one of the causes of many of the conditions of aging - including aging itself actually. Prevention, prevention, prevention. In fact, in the world of Mei Zen Cosmetic Acupuncture I even like to say "prevent the waddle" .... the skin on the neck that starts to sag ... the best way (and sometimes the only way) to deal w/ that is through preventing it. Acupuncture works!!
