Those who take Tocotrienols regularly
might notice that they get sick less often in the long run.

 

 

Prevention before medication

As a general practitioner in an urban area, Dr Paul Victor regularly gets patients with the typical complaints of upper respiratory tract infections, i.e. flu, fever, running nose and cough. Unsurprisingly, his immune system isn’t always able to quickly fight off the assaults these germs launch when infected droplets from the patient come into contact with him – usually through the expulsion of such droplets into the air via sneezing or coughing. This then results in him getting sick himself.

So, what was his solution? Obviously, not seeing patients was not an option.

This is where Tocotrienols came in.

Says Dr Victor: “I’ve always liked to look into homeopathic treatment, not just allopathic medicine.”

Homeopathy is based on the belief that the body has the ability to heal itself, while allopathic medicine is the modern type where drugs and physical interventions are used to treat the patient.

He shares that he first heard about Tocotrienols while reading about research being done on palm oil to extract it. Palm oil is one of the richest natural sources of Tocotrienols. While most people are familiar with vitamin E, less are probably aware that this vitamin actually consists of two types, i.e. tocopherols and Tocotrienols.

Research has shown that Tocotrienols have 40 to 60 times higher antioxidant activity than tocopherols, thus, “giving the potency to vitamin E”, according to Dr Victor.

How then, does this relate to falling sick?

Importance of Vitamin E to immune system

When the immune system goes into combat mode to fight off infections, one of the results is an increased production of free radicals as a by-product of the metabolic defence process. Free radicals are molecules that have one or more unpaired electrons in their atoms. Because of the inherent instability of having an unpaired electron, these molecules then go about trying to “steal” an electron from other atoms in the body to partner up with their unpaired electron.
This process not only creates more free radicals, as the atom that has had its electron “stolen” is now itself a free radical, but also causes damage to the body by destabilising essential biological structures like DNA, lipids, proteins and carbohydrates.
Thus, our body requires antioxidants to neutralise these free radicals before they wreak havoc.

This is the main reason why vitamin E is essential to our health..

Gaining full value from Tocotrienols

He shares: “I started taking Tocotrienols myself because you see patients every day, they’re sick (and) coughing at you, and I noticed I got sick less.” So pleased was he with the results of his tocotrienol supplementation that he started recommending them to some of his patients.
He shares: “Then, I started offering it to a certain group of patients – those who had been diagnosed with or were recovering from breast cancer. This is because the chemotherapy they undergo weakens the immune system, and this helps boost their immune system.”
He opines that with so many different types of bacteria and viruses out there, it is better to strengthen the immune system so that the body can better fight them off.
In addition, studies have shown that Tocotrienols both promote breast cancer cell death, as well as work synergistically with tamoxifen – a common breast cancer drug – to treat breast cancer. Dr Victor notes that Tocotrienols also offer protective benefits to both the cardiovascular and neurological systems.

“Tocotrienols have been proven without doubt to protect against heart disease, decrease cholesterol and protect blood vessels. And now, research on neuroprotection also shows it helps protect the nerves.”
