"I used to get about 3 to 5 cold sores a year. I bought Valtrex by the bucketload to keep the damned things under control. I also would have to purchase Abreva and all sorts of other lip medications to help with healing, costing me $1,000 a year for 5 years. About a year and a half ago (just on a whim), I took some Vitamin E I had stored under my cabinet for years, because I had heard it was good for the skin and hair. I was not even thinking about taking it for cold sores and such. Well, after about a week, I noticed I wasn't getting the tingling or the feelings associated with the beginnings of a cold sore. To be short, I now take 2 capsules of Vitamin E, 400 to 500 mg a day, and I haven't had a cold sore in a year and a half. It TRULY is a wonder drug."

"Not all Vitamin E brands have equal benefits. 600-800 mg a day, taken for 3 days, has lessened the nagging feeling in my mind. I feel better, better mood. If I miss a day, then it's back to taking it for 3 days before I experience its benefits. I take it daily. Thanks."

"I am highly allergic to Vitamin E. I had a full-body rash and had many problems due to using Vitamin E. It took 2 weeks to get over the rash. The doctor said do not use it ever again."

"I was diagnosed with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) about a year ago, following an ultrasound, which was ordered due to consistently high liver enzymes. I started taking 180 mg of dl-alpha Vitamin E (equal to 400 IU) every night, and my labs as of today are completely back to normal. The only significant lifestyle change was reducing sugar intake, so I am fairly certain that the Vitamin E has had a major role in my recovery. If you have been diagnosed with NAFLD, I highly suggest talking to your doctor about taking a Vitamin E supplement."
