Guest guest Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Hey, I'd like to know if any of you have ever tried Antarctic Krill Oil for cognitive support (on yourselves or your kids). I heard it's very good and even purchased one myself (from mercola.com, it just arrived today). I'd like to know if anyone has had side effects, or has any criticism or suggestions. On another topic, does anyone recommend frutose as a substitute of regular sugar? And on yet another topic, I did a little research and found that ALA is likely to chelate aluminum. Can anyone confirm? And on that same research I read that silicic acid is also a good aluminum chelator. Maybe it's advantageous for us who are on this process to add some of this substance to our daily supplements. Any thoughts? I'm sorry for putting more than one item in each message, I just think it saves people's time and mailbox space :-) Thanks, a. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Hi a Fructose has some real problems as a sweetener. As long as it's part of a fruit it comes in a package that also includes fibre, vitamins and trace minerals, but as a refined product it can cause liver problems, isulin resistance, heart disease, bone loss and yeast overgrowth. Here's a Washinton Post article that discusses high fructose corn syrup: http://tinyurl.com/39vh2 Table sugar is made of glucose and fructose, and research suggests that it is the fructose part of sugar that causes health problems - so refined fructose may be even worse than table sugar since it's a more concentrated source. Better choices would include *small amounts of unrefined sweeteners like raw honey, organic maple syrup, rapadura or sucanat. If you are concerned about yeast you could try stevia or xylitol. I'll let others take care of your questions about krill oil and aluminum. :-) best wishes Rene > On another topic, does anyone recommend frutose as a substitute of > regular sugar? > > Thanks, > > a. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 I also use Dr Mercola's krill oil. I couldn't say what it's doing, but it makes sense to me that krill would have lower " toxic load " themselves and I also like that it has antioxidants.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Can someone expand on the Aluminum thing...my boys are both " in the yellow " on their hair analysis for aluminum. Is this showing that it's being excreted and i just need to remove the source (which i can't figure out other than vaccines that were given YEARS ago). or is it showing that it's in there and doing damage? if so...i'm also interested in knowing what will chelate it. thanks, Kari > > Hey, > > I'd like to know if any of you have ever tried Antarctic Krill Oil for > cognitive support (on yourselves or your kids).

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Malic acid removes aluminum. As will chelation with dmsa if your already doing that...at least we are finding it is lowering aluminum. Aluminum is everywhere. It's in medicine (prescription liquid nystatin, Mylanta, Maloxx, and in many tablet coatings), it is in most ALL commercially baked goodies. It is in baking powder. So you must buy aluminum free baking powder and not purchase products that use baking powder. Organic products usually say " aluminum free baking powder " . Of course, avoid cooking in aluminum foil, and on aluminum baking sheets. it is also emited in some industries...so it can be in the soil/air. Oh and deodorant contains aluminum. You have to buy all natural deodorant. so if someone in your home uses spray deodorant...they are spraying aluminum into the air. Here is a list from Dana's website of aluminum sources: Construction, power lines, insulated cables and wiring, cooking utensils, decorations, fencing, highway signs, cans, food packaging, lipsticks, foil, dental crowns and dentures and dental cement, paints, fireworks, veterinary medicines, glues, disinfectants. Used in the production of water purification, sugar refining, brewing, paper, glass, ceramics, rubber, lubricants, wood preservatives, cosmetics, leather tanning. The active ingredient in deodorants and antiperspirants. Used to lower plasma phosphorus levels in patients with kidney issues. Certain vaccines contain an aluminum base. # Environmental sources: Construction, power lines, insulated cables and wiring, cooking utensils, decorations, fencing, highway signs, cans, food packaging, lipsticks, foil, dental crowns and dentures and dental cement, paints, fireworks, veterinary medicines, glues, disinfectants. Used in the production of water purification, sugar refining, brewing, paper, glass, ceramics, rubber, lubricants, wood preservatives, cosmetics, leather tanning. The active ingredient in deodorants and antiperspirants. Used to lower plasma phosphorus levels in patients with kidney issues. Certain vaccines contain an aluminum base. # Dietary sources: Cans, cooking utensils, food packaging, baking powder, antacids, astringents, buffered aspirin, food additives. Eating substances containing high levels of aluminum (such as antacids) especially when eating or drinking citrus products at the same time. Some soy-based formulas may contain high levels of aluminum. Anti-diarrheal agents, hemorrhoid medications, vaginal douches, processed cheese, " softened " water, and tap water. Cities add aluminum to the water during the fluoridation process. # Removal/chelation ideas: Use mercury protocol and reduce dietary intake, and it should reduce on its own. Magnesium glycinate. Malic acid will bind aluminum, but unless you are scrupulous in avoiding aluminum in the food and water, giving malic acid can significantly increase the absorption of aluminum. Apple pectin helps deactivate or excrete aluminum. Elder extract (not elder berry). Since it's coming out in their hair, it's being excreted but aluminum is toxic and synergistically so with mercury. So it makes sense to lower it. > > > > Hey, > > > > I'd like to know if any of you have ever tried Antarctic Krill Oil for > > cognitive support (on yourselves or your kids).

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Canned foods & teflon cookware also figure in - did a quick skim, and didn't see those...ummm, these might be more related to eliminating synergistic metals...in my mind, aluminum, fluoride & tin all go together, and high levels of one indicates looking at the other two for concurrent sources. elizabeth > > > > Hey, > > > > I'd like to know if any of you have ever tried Antarctic Krill Oil for > > cognitive support (on yourselves or your kids).

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 I bet it's the teflon that i got rid of a few months ago. it was one of those things that i knew i needed to do, but couldn't get off my butt and make a decision about what to replace it with. i hadn't been using it with the boys for quite a while, but maybe it just takes a while to clear?? we use some canned food, but not much at all...we were scd for 9 months during which time we were using NONE...i'm just used to cooking mostly from scratch. i use some canned tomatoes now, but they're usually lined with whatever the white is on the inside of the can (although i'm sure that is unhealthy as well!) and our water is fluoridated we drink spring water, but they bathe in tap water. could that be contributing?

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Can't give specifics off the top of my head right now, but I remember that fluoride and aluminum " go together " somehow, and one of the reasons we found fluoride free dental products. We are fortunate our area does not fluoridate the water, but of course, following doctor's orders we added fluoride to water when our son was a toddler...so much bad medicine! > > > > > > > > Hey, > > > > > > > > I'd like to know if any of you have ever tried Antarctic Krill Oil for > > > > cognitive support (on yourselves or your kids).
