10. Cold Sores
Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus that remains dormant within the system. Cold sore outbreaks can occur at any stage but outbreaks are normally triggered by a weak immune system, stress and change in weather patterns.
A lack of vitamin E can put the body into oxidative stress which weakens the immune system and creates a breeding ground for an eruption. A high dose of vitamin E and topical cream can reduce the effects of the herpes virus.
