Fishy Question for Terri, Imari, others...

[Guest guest]

I have been procrastinating on a CLO order trying to figure out

which Nordic Naturals formula to use. This will be the fist time we

are using a CLO with " naturally occurring vit A, " and I am confused

as to how much/which formula to try. I spoke to the customer

service person at Nordic, who would not give me info on the formulas

I was interested in, as she said those were the " professional

formulas, " so I would need to have my doctor recommend the amount.

My son is 3YO/30 lbs and his doctor wants him on a " high vit A

protocol. " We are using 3t./3X day of the Brainchild Spectrum II,

which contains 3,000 IUs of naturally occurring vit. A. I had been

giving my son CLO capsules that contained 2,500 IU of added vit. A

and 100 mg EPA/65 mg DHA. I was also giving an additional EPA/DHA

capsule that contained 300 mg EPA/200 mg DHA.

I am getting tired, lazy and burned out, and sick of being charged

$125 phone consult from my DAN doctor for a question like this one,

so please someone tell me what formula and dose of Nordic CLO you

would suggest based on a " high vit. A objective, " and whether or not

I also need to give an additional EPA/DHA capsule when using the

Nordic CLO!!!

, I just heard Dr. Megson, Dev. Ped., speak on Saturday at

a Complementary & Alternative Medicine Conference. Her topic

was " Why CLO " .

She stated that a standard does for a child 2-5 yrs. of age is 2500

I.U. of Cod Liver Oil (approx 1/2 tsp./day). For kids 6-12, she

said 5000 I.U. (1 tsp/day).

EPA & DHA are different. Don't include them in your calc for Vit. A.

I'm planning to order some CLO now that I've heard her presentation,

but have not done so yet. She said to be sure that the CLO is third-

party tested for PCBs, Mercury and something else???

EPA and DHA are a separate issue. Most autistic kids are low in

both.

Omega 3 & 6 also came up. Omega 3 & Omega 6 compete, so if your

child is low in Omega 6, you need to supplement that first, until

that level is elevated to normal, before adding in Omega 3 (per Dr.

Walsh, Pfeiffer Treatment Center)

That's all I can help you with.

I'm not an expert on fatty acids. My son was low in EPA, so I have used

Nordic EPA formula for him and also DHA formula. He doesn't tolerate CLO

(gets goofy on it). We give him a little micellized vitamin A from time to

time instead. Don't count on the carotenoids in the Brainchild to convert

to vitamin A, because our kids' bodies may not be able to do this

conversion, due to mercury damage and other dysfunctions. What you're

giving now sounds pretty good to me. Sorry not to be more help.
