RE: [SPAM] Edging My Bets

[Guest guest]

Cod liver oil has a lot of good things in

it but one of those is a lot of Vitamin A.. This is a fat-soluble vitamin

that can build up in the body to harmful levels so the amount needs to be

controlled. I think we get a lot of Vitamin A from our normal diet and

usually don’t need any more, especially if we take any supplements.

Fish oil derived from the body instead of

the liver of a fish is different in having a lot of good things including

omega-3 and other fatty acids so taking a fish oil supplement is generally

good. If you take any supplements please let your doctors know because

sometimes taking supplements can be bad for some people. Also

nutritionists in general know much more about supplements than doctors do so if

you are really concerned I suggest also seeing a nutritionist.

It does sound like you have a good

protocol going and I’m glad to hear it is working well for you. God

bless.

[sPAM] Edging My Bets

How are you? Fine I hope.

I've been on 7.5 MG MTX, 1x a wk and 1OO mg Minocin Mon to Fri for 8

weeks.

I'm aware of the fact that MTX may take 3 to 6 months to really kick

in.

I would say that I am better, The swelling around my left knee has

gone down and the pain there lessened but it still has some way to go

before it looks like the other knee again. I can't run because of

that knee but walking up stairs is much easier!I am confident that

the knee will improve within the next 3 months, God willing! The

other joints have a low key buzzing pain. Overall, I am happy with

the protocol. Minimal side effects have been experienced, a little

tongue swelling.

What is your opinion of cod liver oil for RA?

Take care!

Ken.
