Re: Re: Excess vitamin A or D?

[Guest guest]

" CLO tastes awful "

Not ALL CLO tastes bad....GOL's tastes alright, Carlson's " lemon " tasted

pretty good actually, and Nordic Naturals tastes OK.....

" and for vitamin D

one can eat fatty fish and/or expose oneself for the sun. "

....and eating alot of fatty fish has it's disadvantages with all the mercury

present in the world, and also many folks would probably rush right out and

buy ANY fish....probably " farm- raised " ...so the fatty acid profile wouldn't

be any good, ...among other issues....

...and it all depends on where you live.....I understand that most of the

central United States does not get intense enought sun for 9 mos. of the

year....and most people really don't spend enough time in the sun everyday

anyway....and most, when they do, use " sunblocks " ...so it probably isn't that

easy

to get vit D those ways....

The thing that I wonder about CLO is that it is so unstable and goes

rancid easily in heat....and our bodies are pretty warm....I take a capsule of

natural, mixed vitamin E with my CLO now...don't know if that " fixes "

that.....but it sounds good :-) I have also read that fish oils can lower a

man's

sperm count to zero...and that it raises the mortality rates in

canines.....ever heard any of that? I'm just not so sure about CLO

either....Dr. Mercola

highly recommends it....that's about the only reason I believe in it at

all....and I DON'T think that the Dr. is just trying to push fish oils....I

hear

that from time to time from " sceptics " of Dr. M...that's ridiculous.....I

will not believe he makes his living off of " fish oils " that he doesn't even

produce.....how crazy....people seem to like to attack anybody.....he " pushes "

whole, real foods and vegetable juices too....and he sure as heck isn't making

any $$ off of that....I personally (for now...) take " fish oil " June thru

August....and " CLO " Sept. thru May. The last time I was up to Mercola's

office....I had been taking CLO as recommended for a while, and my vitamin D

levels

were perfect....right where he wanted it....he was happy to see my levels

that good, but he was quite cautious with " overdoing " CLO....and did recommend

getting tested ocassionally....definitely a good way to find out what the dose

is that would keep your levels optimal....and you don't have to go to Dr.

M's office to get that checked....so... no, he's not " pushing " vitamin D tests

:-)

What brand of CLO are you taking? I get MorEPA from

www.1stvitality.co.uk - it is fish oil less the vit A

- I don't have a problem with it.

I've been wondering about vit A deficiency in myself.

I had some liver last week for the first time in

months, and I noticed today that the spots at the top

of my arms are all but gone. Also, the spots on my

face have massively improved since then. Can vit A

prevent spots on the face?

I eat eggs most days (normally lightly scrambled,

although I have switched to raw yolks in the last few

days in my smoothies), and eat plenty of chicken.

Would cooking the eggs reduce my absorption of vit A,

or even destroy the vit A in the egg?

As for the game birds - I would love to eat pheasant

and pigeon, but it's a rarity to see it around here.

I plan to go further afield to some village butchers

next weekend to see if I can find any.

Oh, and I don't like turkey.... I don't even eat it on

Xmas day with my family (in the UK, turkey is the

traditional Xmas day meat)

Are you talking about spots or bumps? I've had bumps on the backs of my

arms that disappeared when I started getting enough A. Perhaps if you keep

up the level of A for a while, you can gauge how it effects your complexion.

The ones on my arms are small and red, and don't

normally have a head. The ones on my face vary - some

very large painful blind spots that are cyst-like (I

link these to dairy consumption) and others small and

sore which develop into a head. Both generally leave a

scar.
