Survivalist Tip: Vitamin E refers to a group of 8 fat-soluble compounds, each with its own name that – like most everything from a biologist’s mind – makes absolutely no sense. But, Vitamin E is best known as an antioxidant, which I previously mentioned protects against such calamities as radiation and second-hand smoke. Actually, radiation is a genuine calamity; second-hand smoke can be eliminated easily by taking out the smoker. Since Vitamin E is good for the immune system and metabolic processes, you’d best have some in your survival supply. Natural food sources include leafy green vegetables, nuts, seeds and vegetable oil. People with certain disorders like liver disease may need extra doses of Vitamin E. People with other disorders like a bad attitude can’t be helped, even with heavy doses of Vitamin E, so it’s best just to boot them out of your posse and let them fend for themselves. The chaos of the new Baktun will require enough of your attention and energy without the need to bitch-slap some fool in the group.
