Adelle Davis and a
Remedy for Sunburn

Adelle Davis a well known nutritionist in the 50's and 60's had a few things to say about burns and sunburn in particular. In her book "Let's Get Well" Adelle Davies talks about the effectiveness of Vitamin E which is found in Thentix 'A Touch of Honey', in helping relieve the pain of sunburn and burns in general and prevent scarring.

In this book, Chapter 4, 'Scars can be prevented': Tells about a boy badly burned on the back by steam.

"I knew that vitamin E took the pain out of burns and prevented scars from forming; therefore I pierced holes in the ends of vitamin-E capsules with a sterilized needle and squeezed their contents over the boy's back. His mother repeated this procedure each morning and evening; and Melvin took 200 units of the vitamin after each meal until the healing was complete. ...
Later Melvin reported that the intense discomfort from the burn itself and the itching, drawing agony caused by the forming scar tissue dissappeared in a few hours. Without vitamin E his back would have been a mass of scars, yet it healed rapidly and not a trace of a scar formed; three weeks later he was playing football."
