RFK Jr.'s focus on vitamin A for measles worries health experts

33. Yep. Learned this when my mother started taking a lot of Vitamin A in her 80s.

She asked a home health care worker (who was not a doctor and not a nurse, just someone that came in to help with physical therapy) about something else that was bothering her and they said, “Oh, you should try 10,000 IU of Vitamin A every day.”

I did not find out about this until the next time I visited and she was having some hair loss. She was beside herself, didn’t know why her hair was falling out. She listed everything she was taking and I got on the internet and when I looked up the Vitamin A, I told her to STOP it immediately. She did, and slowly more hair grew back in, but it never got back to where it had been.
