1) My impression is there are about 3-4 enteric coated fish oils on the market I

have seen so far. They are very different in experience. FISOL is wholesale off

my site but pretty cheap retail any way and is small for fish oil capsules. The

larger and more expensive one is Metagenics and is sold by some pharmacists and

health care professionals. The have good quality but tough price and I do not

carry. I get mine at 877 363 7474. These are larger horse pills.

2) If you taste fish oil after using an enteric, I would think it means you put

so much into the blood you are tasting from the inside. My own experience is

this makes it hard to take any for a season. So I would try not to binge as I

stupidly did once. This is a turn off experience.

3) We did what some have called the first mercury publication on commercial fish

oils. http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/408125_print

I was stunned that all the reasonable brands had no mercury. I will not waste

time with my hunches on why. This does NOT mean every fish oil form is safe. And

I think some cheap forms might use fish oil from tropical and sub tropical

waters and then perhaps a risk for ciguatera toxins in minute or unknown density

in the oils. http://www.chronicneurotoxins.com/learnmore/ciguatera.cfm

[] Re: CSM Dosing /Essential Fatty Acids

Also - WalMart sells enteric coated fish oil (purified of toxins) that

is just a little bit more than their normal fish oil caps. I'm giving

these a try in the hopes that they break down a bit lower in the

intestines than the CSM. Hopefully they make it past it...

,

Are you aware of any fish oil or cod liver oil supplement in vegetarian

capsules? I am allergic to gelatin and like the convenience of capsules, but

could not find any vegetarian capsuled fish oil!?

I love all the books you wrote about mold and artemisinin, at this moment, I am

reading your fourth book about clinical treatment for babesia. All your books

are very informative, thorough, and very practical. Great work. Thanks!

Dr Schaller, the Fisol information states:

" Because Fisol is enteric-coated and better absorbed by the body, its

required dosage is less than taking non-coating fish oil. "

Do you know how one can determine a Fisol dose as compared to a regular

fish oil dose?

Thanks,

Mei, you might want to look for Kosher fish oil capsules. They are

likely vegetarian. I don't know about the mercury issue though.
