"The peculiar muscular degeneration of muscular dystrophy may be produced in animals is caused and is only caused by lack of Vitamin E. Human muscular dystrophy shows identically the same peculiar degeneration. The key to the cure of muscular dystrophy is Vitamin E." (Rabinovitch R et al (1951) Neuromuscular disorders amenable to wheat germ oil therapy. J Neurol. Neurosurg. Psychiat. 14:95-100.)
And notice the form of Vitamin E that was used to get these results- wheat germ oil. According to The Vitamins of Medicine, pp. 643-644, synthetic Vitamin E is "valueless."
