Cod Liver Oil

[Guest guest]

Cara, you have inadvertently helped us solve a problem we were working on last week; i.e., what is Atomidine? We didn't know how much iodine was in it. I have added the following information to our Supplement Database:

1 drop (0.06 mL) = 600 mcg iodine (from Iodine Trichloride). Other Ingredient: Water.

Thank you!

Zoe

Does anyone know how much iodine is in one drop of Atomidine???> > http://naprashopping.com/ingr/ingr179100.cfm> Looks like 600mcg

The type of insomnia I got when taking both iodine and clo was

totally different from adrenal insomnia and waking up at 3:00am etc

that I used to have. I never had that kind of insomnia before and

it went away a few days after quitting iodine.

I remember reading on some iodine website that insomnia and anger

right before bedtime was one of the iodine symptoms (I think too

much iodine). And this type of I thought it was odd because when I

do the patch test, the iodine disappears in just a few hours, so I'm

pretty sure I'm at least a little deficient.

I don't know exactly, either, except that they were different than

my usual pimples. They are big, never form white heads, sore, and

occur in odd places. They are very similar to the pimples that I

get when I eat dairy. They also come and go when I start/stop

iodine supplementation.

It's possible that other components in the clo, like the fatty

acids, are interacting, too. Also, iodine will of course affect the

thyroid homone levels, and anytime you change with one part of the

endocrine system, everything else is affected. My body seems to be

sensitive to changes in cortisol levels. Much of a drop in levels

causes inflammation (gum, joint, etc). Maybe the change in thyroid

hormones ends up depleting cortisol levels a little.

Thanks, Skipper

From what I have read Vitamin A toxicity is a real

concern. My understanding is Vitamin A is natural to

cod liver oil. I wonder whether Carlsons somehow

eliminates some of the A or the brand recommended by

Price adds it. What do you think?

The gels may not eliminate the breath thing, though.

There might be another approach to the breath issue.

Maybe someone else has a technique they will share.

Worst part of it is that I have no sense of a fish smell on me or my

breath...others do. For at

least 2 hours after taking it.

Since the Price site said they lowered it, I assume Carlson's now removes

part of it. I'm not sure why.

A dermatologist tried to give my daughter Accutane. I let her read the side

effects and she didn't bother.

I'm not sure that natural Vitamin A is toxic except at extreme levels.

(I've heard Polar Bear liver can kill people because of the high Vitamin A,

never knew if that was really true.)

I get mine from Organic Pastures. I think they have a very high quality

one and you A & D are synergistic so you need what levels of both that

are in there.

I agree one would need 'what levels' are in

the cod liver oil. I think the problem comes in with

the amount being consumed.

Organic Pastures is one of the best and is

what I take for cod liver oil. There are

only a very few that do not put synthetic A and D in their clo.

There was a very good article in the

Spring Newsletter from Weston A. Price about clo. It was a research article on it and during

the processing of clo they take out the A and D and then put it back in. Green Pastures and Garden of Life

are two of the few that put back the real A and D versus the synthetic.

Sorry it is green pasture blue ice cod

liver oil at www.greenpasture.org .

I also take the high vitamin butter oil as

recommended by Dr. Price over 50 years ago. It has many good things but helps the

absorption of vitamins. You might

want to check it out while you are on the website. If you order quantity you can get it

cheaper. In our WAP chapter we have

health professionals who buy it for us at their price and pass the savings on

to us. Weston A. Price has chapters

around the world so there is probably one near you that you might want to check

into because they have great co-ops to buy good organic food, raw milk, etc.

Just a thought.

Although you can get the same thing from Organic Pastures, I see that

I don't know all the stuff that is in cod liver oil, and in fact

it can vary from batch to batch (and, I've heard, even from

the top to the bottom of the barrel). Livers in general store

stuff that is in the environment, so there could also be stuff like

PCB's, for all I know (hopefully the company tests for things

like that, but it's been a problem for the Inuit, since PCB's store

in fat).

However ... from following groups like this for some years,

I *can* say that a number of people have in fact had odd

reactions to cod liver oil. None of them got any real scientific

evidence for their reaction ... they stopped the CLO or cut down.

Also ... heart palpitations are odd things. I got them from doing

aerobic exercise, and from taking Pseudofed. And I think they

are sometimes triggered from a hernia ... it's fairly common

for the stomach to move up into the chest cavity, and any excess

gas or whatever can make the heartbeat feel weird. And I

know someone whose arrhythmias turned out to be triggered

by sleep apnea.

None of which has to do with cod liver oil or iodine .. just that,

it's hard to pin down " the cause " for something like this. You

have a food with a huge number of ingredients, and a symptom

that can have a huge number of causes. If you want to experiment,

you could try different brands of fish oils, at different times

of the year, etc.

[Guest guest]

I think in determining whether a supplement is deleterious to you health you can

look at it's

effects on others first. You can argue `One size doesn't fit all' but you

know... sometimes it

does. For instance, I have not been able to take Vitamin C supplements for my

entire life until

recently. My sister still cannot. We both developed canker sores that became

bigger and deeper

every day we took vit-c. I knew that this inability to absorb C was not normal

and was something

I had to work on overcoming. The health benefits were too studied and

documented for me dismiss

ever taking vitamin C. After adjusting several supplements and adding CLO

suddenly my body can

take even 20 grams of C and I don't feel the familiar tingle in my mouth.

Years ago when I started lifting weights (before my Hashi diagnosis) I took a

supplement called

L-Glutamine, a semi-essential amino acid, and it gave me palpitations. It is

virtually impossible

that an amino acid would give you palpitations I was told and all my research

confirmed, so it was

a mystery. I was experiencing the first round of hypothyroidism symptoms at

that time I was

later to learn. Once I got on thyroid hormone I could take L-glutamine all day

long. These

personal nutritional anomalies were all indications of a bigger picture. I now

think it was the

undiagnosed hypothyroidism causing a magnesium deficiency and my body couldn't

fully metabolize

the L-glutimine.

" The amino acid L-glutamate is metabolized to L-glutamine in a reaction

catalyzed by the enzyme

glutamine synthase, a reaction which, in addition to L-glutamate, requires

ammonia, ATP and

magnesium. "

I think the onus is with those of us that can't absorb/metabolize supplements

that have

unquestionable health benefits. I concentrated on why the enzymes, vitamins or

minerals disagree

with me and how I could eventually take them. I would never write off any

substance of proven

health benefits because my body in a unbalanced state couldn't handle it at that

time. I have an

acquaintance that claims that claims magnesium makes his hair fall out. I

avoids it even in

foods! He has mood disorders, depression and muscle issues but will not add

magnesium to his

diet.

Carlsons CLO has Vit A at fairly low levels 700-1200 IU (14-24% RDA) Vitamin D

400 IU (100%

RDA). If you can take both vitamins separately without palpitations then

theoretically it is

unlikely that the dietary fat that is CLO would alone cause them. They are

called essentially

fatty acids for a reason. Your body cannot function without them. Trace

elements in the oil

don't seem likely suspects to an almost instantaneous round of palpitations.

I would suspect rancid oil or possibly a essential fatty acid deficiency that

has caused your

cells to be less permeable and when you add the CLO the cells permeability

increases and allows

another medication or hormone to absorb into the body; you might be taking too

much of something

else. I would try Mega fish oil capsules from vitamin shoppe since they provide

approximately the

same about of omega-3 per capsule as a teaspoon of CLO, see if that gives you

palpitations. If

they do, then you have been given the gift of finding a huge piece of the puzzle

in solving your

health issues.

Heidi, thanks

It is Carlson, which has a label reading: " This

product is regularly tested (using AOAC protocols) for

freshness, poetency, and purity by an independent, FDA

registered laboratory and has been dtermined...to be

free of detectable levels of mercury, cadmium, lead,

PCBs and 28 other contaminants. " not that that

Yes, I purposely waited until this time of year

because it is supposed to be best for CLO.

Thanks, again

Those are found in the muscle of the fish not the liver. If anything is taken

out of the oil, then it is put back in synthetically, specifically vitamins A

and D which can be toxic in high doses. Not the same as unrefined cod liver oil

which is healthier.

After reading the posts about what is really in Carlson's cod liver oil and the manufacturing problems with Blue Ice cod liver oil, I am wondering what to buy. Is anyone familiar with this brand of cod liver oil? I've never seen it before and it's not in the Weston Price shopping guide--it's called Sonne's old fashioned cod liver oil. I got it at my healthfood store 16oz for 21.95 and it's unflavored. I'm not opening it until I hear something about it. Thanks in advance!

> Hi, I have a question that I hope someone on here has had experience with. I

have seen many discussions about cod liver oil so I am sure someone does. I have

a red bumpy rash on my arms (back of arms and for arm) had it before I was

pregnant, went away during pregnancy, then came back full force after I had my

baby 8 months ago. My NP (that practices holistic medicine, that is all we have

around here) had suggested using Cod liver Oil (she thinks I need more Omega

3;s) I am nursing and I am afraid to take 3-4grams. Any suggestions would be

great.

I posted this on a baby group I belong to. The verdict ws the rash is probably

keratosis pilaris - google it for pictures. The only treatment is vit A, which

CLO is full of. I would google Weston Price Foundation and find the brands they

recommend. I personally use Blue Ice which I get on www.building-health.com. You

can also get the dosage for pregnant and/or nursing moms on the Weston Price

website.

HTH,

Muscroft likes Polar Power Sock Eye Salmon Oil because its all natural forms of A & D and has no flavours or soy. Its not CLO though but most times they want you to use that is for & D as wll as the EPA/DHA and Polar Power has it all
