Guest guest Posted March 24, 2003 Report Share Posted March 24, 2003 Have you tried the capsules? If you can't deal with the taste, the capsules work great. Holly; iel (5/96) & Jenavieve (5/02) ~The Emerald Jewels~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 25, 2003 Report Share Posted April 25, 2003 What about ground flax seeds? Will heat also negate the value of using ground flax seeds? I've known people who add that to foods that are baked or heated. Ninette At 10:10 PM 24/03/2003 +0100, you wrote: >Heat will immediately oxidise fatty acids!.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 Kathy, what is UDO's oil? I have taken Evening Primrose Oil in the past, and I got very good results from it. But I was actually taking it for something other than MS, and before I was diagnosed. I have never tried it since my diagnosis, but I do have a book about Evening Primrose Oil which has a regimen for the treatment of MS as one of its chapters. There were two reasons why I never seriously tried the regimen. First of all, it involved taking a gout medication I could not get my doctor to prescribe for me (because I did not have gout) and second, the book said that taking EPO long term would make my breasts bigger, which I really did NOT want. (They're too darn big already. Haha) Anyway, I'd like to know what UDO's oil is. Vali From: Kathy Huget <etna@s...> Date: Tue Jan 11, 2005 3:01 pm Subject: Re: [low dose naltrexone] Off-topic: for Manny Does anyone here take UDO's oil for MS. I try and take 1-2 tbsp. daily with meals. Or is cod liver oil better for MS? Thanks Kathy H On 10-Jan-05, at 4:52 PM, Landau wrote: > Do you and your wife know about cod liver oil?

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 Lucky you! LOL Udo's oil is a special blend that has flax oil, evening primrose oil and a bunch of others. Udo Uramus is the guy that this oil is named after and I've seen him speak about it on TV. He said that if your taking too much of one of the omega's you can deplete yourself of the others. Google it...its quite interesting. I put it in salads or soups (after heating) or take it straight up. Its not a taste for everyone. I figure if I can drink bentonite (liquid lava) to get rid of yeast overgrowth I can stomach anything!. Kathy On 11-Jan-05, at 6:25 PM, Vali Tamayo wrote: >  Kathy, what is UDO's oil?

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Hi thanks for your reply, I have gone ahead and am gonna try udo's oil, I have also bought hemp oil, I am gonna try a couple of weeks on each one and see if either have any effect. one thing which this threw up though (just to add to the confusion) is Udo's oil says it contains omega 3, 6 and 9 in a ratio 2.1.1 and the hemp oil bottle says " hemp seed oil is renowned for having the perfect balance of omega oils for the body " but whats wierd is it gives a break down of the content as 18% omega 3, 60% omega6, 3% GLA and 11% omega 9...I am not great at maths but those percentages completely different to the Udo's 2.1.1 mix. interestingly both claim to be the perfect balance! anyway even so I am gonna do a few weeks trial with each, I am sure the extra oils will do some good anyway even if its not noticable majorly. and I will certainly look into buying fish oil like your recomendation. many thanks Jim > > > > Hi I have been reaading some old threads on experimental...I am so confused on the essential fatty acids thing...people say you gotta get the right combo of omega 3 and omega 6 becuase omega 3 can block omega 6??!!!!!! > > I was considering trying udos oil particularly becuase it seems a complete mix with omega 9 too... > > here is the ratio from the UDO website: > > > > Udo's Choice® Ultimate Oil Blend is carefully formulated to contain a 2:1:1 ratio of Omega 3, 6 & 9 fatty acids, the ideal balance for today's low fat and Omega 3 deficient diets. > > > > but I cannot work out if this is the right mix for cfs/me people > > I just want one single supplement to take to get my oils I dont want to take a complicated cocktail...is the general consensus that udo's oil is good? > > cheers jim > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 There are no heavy metals in Fish Oils; the metals are chelated out druing manufacture and filtering and extraction of the fish oils; a. > > > hi thanks for your reply, I am trying to find good basic guidelines to follow, hence trying the hemp oil and the Udo's becuase both claim to be " complete formulas " ...on the fish oul front the reason I stopped fish oil was I was getting a little worried about the possible heavy metal/mercury issue with fish, as we often hear we have to limit our weekly intake of tuna for example, also I have been chelating metals out for a year now after being found to have some high levels. I guess I stopped the fish oil for this reason...becuase in my lay mans thinking I figured fish oil is concentrated so perhaps the metal risk might be higher...maybe the companys screen for metals?! but I wasnt sure..hence my attempt to find the oils in vegetable form... > > many thanks JIM > > Just remember that when it comes to supplements, anyone can claim > anything they want to claim.
