Vitamin A (retinol) is a yellow,
fat-soluble terpene alcohol obtained from some carotenoids by conversion in the
liver where it is stored. Retinol is concentrated in egg yolks and the livers of
many animals. Vitamin A and its analogs have shown the ability to help inhibit
cancer cell proliferation and help in returning to normal growth patterns. Its
inhibitory effects are especially potent against leukemia and certain head and
neck cancers. The first formal studies of the possible anti-tumor effects of
emulsified vitamin A were initiated in Germany, by investigators of Mugos
Laboratories in Munich. It was a known fact that lung cancer in Norwegian
sailors was less common than in other groups, even though they smoked since
childhood. Logic indicated that it had to be the opposite. After studying the
phenomenon, it was discovered that they ate abundant quantities of raw fish
liver, high in Vitamin-A, since childhood. The logical conclusion was that high
doses of such vitamin prevented the growth of lung cancer in heavy smokers. But
it was also found that high doses of Vitamin-A were toxic, and could cause
adverse reactions. The main focus was to find out how to administer enough
Vitamin-A to observe preventive or healing effects, without injuring the liver.
The solution was found by one of the investigators, when he discovered that
unprocessed milk had the vitamin, and children who were breast fed never
experienced toxic effects. Mother nature had the solution by including Vitamin-A
in milk in the form of Micro-Emulsification. Mugos investigators proceeded to
prepare a variety of emulsified concentrations, until they found what they would
call High Concentration A-mulsin. One drop of A-mulsin contains 15,000 units.
They were able to administer over a million units of vitamin A per day in
progressive doses, without producing hepatic toxicity.
