Vitamin E and Influenza

Came across some research that shows that vitamin E reduces the amount of virus in the lungs of animals infected with influenza A and B, and reduces TNF and IL-1, two chemicals associated with the 'cytokine storm.'

While vitamin E has not been tested on H5N1 infections in humans, this seems to be a safe therapy that might be of value in humans infected with H5N1, which is a type of influenza A.
