Donna,
I have read a lot from Pauling and he does state that the only C that will work is all natural c.Most that you find out there is synthetic and therefore will not work.The same with e.I have gotten huge pains from taking vitamins and always thought it was me when it was really that the vitamins were synthetic and my body wanted to get rid of them fast.Here is the link to the only kind of natural c that I use for my family because it is not only all natural but also clinically proven.Ths e complex here also is all natural and has natural selenium in it.I am sad tohear about your diagnosis and I do hope this will help guide you a little.I f you would like some more info on the differences between synthetic and natural vitamins please email me and I would be happy to help you. http://www.shaklee.net/kbenergynow/product/20095
