Re: chelating while taking fish oil capsules

[Guest guest]

I don't think using Nordic Naturals has benefits that FAR outweigh

any risk. We have to trust the quality, but I am a fan of the

product.

Either Pam's got her crack pipe out again, or maybe I do ;-)

but I think what she is saying is that the benefits of omega 3,

Vitamin A, and Vitamin D supplementation (3 things that most of our

kids really, really need) far outweigh any possible risks,

especially with a clean and reputable product like NN.

Yes, I don't not agree with her ;-).

Ooops. Caught me with the pipe again?

I typed an original, brilliant response and then made changes. I

guess I didn't delete all the words I intended to delete.

SOOOOOO, using a reputable product like Nordic Naturals is well

worth it. You can apparently request the purity data, right?

I agree. Nordic Naturals is a good product. We all need those Omega 3's.

Our entire family takes these.

This could be a possiblity if there is any mercury in the oil. Check

the company for their testing. If you are still concerned you can

use a flax oil for EFA's and supplement the A and D.

But the EFA's and other vitamins in the oil are important. Whether

you choose to use another product to get them is up to you. But they

are needed. I personally was not comfortable with the fish oil

myself and chose the organic flax oil. We supplement for calcium

which has D in it already, and we use Vitamin A capsules. Making

sure they are top quality as well.

It is my understanding that flax oil has to be converted by the body into

available Omega 3's. Some of our children's bodies aren't efficient in

doing this. A great book on this subject is " The Omega 3 Connection " by Dr.

Stoll of Harvard. We saw him speak at the Boston DAN! Conference.

Our child takes fish oils every 4 hours (orthomega), borage oil every 4 hours

(thompson), and cod liver oil with meals, and he is chelating.

[Guest guest]

Wow thats a lot of oil. Could you tell me any success this has

shown? We are doing Cod liver (kirkmans) and Pro EFA (Nortic)but only

a tsp a day. I would love to know if more would help

I think the majority of us are inefficient at converting the ALA

(not the chelator, but the Omega 3) in flax to EPA/DHA... just one

of those things. I can imagine our kids are even more inefficient.

I would not rely on flax seed oil to completely replace fish oil.

They each have their own individual benefits, but are not entirely

interchangeable (as far as I understand).

Using both would be a plus.

May I ask if a DAN doctor put you on this protocol, and if so, who? I

am interested in adding more fish oil. We give 3 CLOs each day and

use flax seed oil as well.

Thanks, Beth

We don't have a dan, so we are going off of the advise on this list.

We just recently upped the borage up that high, over the last few

weeks. I wanted to ask the list's advise on that. For months, Borage

has only been once a day at 1000 mg. Does anyone know if it is ok to

give Borage 4x a day? A lot of people on this list give the dha/epa's

four times a day.

We have flaxseed oil, but they are huge and cold from being in the

fridge, and child #1 won't take them in that form and I don't know of

any form he would take them in, unless I separated them in with the

pills each week and served them not refridgerated. It's the big,

black, and cold combination that freaks him out about the flaxseed

supplements. He won't take the liquid, and he won't take flax in the

shake...so flax has been something we haven't done yet, but we would

be doing flax along with all of these if he would take it, is the

point I wanted to make.

The RN at my healthfood store was a bit intrigued that we give our

child so many different fish oils, but I have heard that a lot of

people on the list are doing all of them. The CLO is important in

it's own right, it is mentioned in the sucess of the pfeiffer protocol

which I am still reading about, because it is a great source of vit a

and d. I prefer Nordic Naturals CLO, but I can afford Now brand. I

meant to call the NOW company and see if they guaranteed purity like

the Nordic. The RN at my healthfood store says that fish oils are

molecularly distilled to remove impurities. I hope that the cheaper

CLO from NOW is ok, since it is distilled, but I feel like I need to

check this out further. Has anyone already checked this out?

[Guest guest]

Yeah, I keep on getting told that I am giving a lot of fish oils. I

would say things are going well. Does anyone think I am giving too

much? I just posted our protecol on my Miraculous big gains thread.

[Guest guest]

I do it now for my son. No problems -- he's making gains. Nordic Naturals is

one of the best fish oils.

Our son takes 4 teaspoons of Cod Liver Oil a day plus two packets Coromega.

And then there is my son, who does wonderfully well with flax oil, but

I still can't give him any fish oil or CLO or he has problems.

Thanks for the giggle. Pass the fun-yuns.
