Re: shark liver oil (was Price Factor...Aha moment)

[Guest guest]

I had an idea about the Price Factor, not knowing nearly as much about

biochemistry as most of you (I'm a history major), which I know realize is

utterly inferior to the theory now floating around. BUT, I'm going to share

it anyway, just out of the curiostiy of anyone's experience with shark liver

oil.

I was wondering, since milk, I believe contains alkyl-glycerols, and shark

liver oil from greenland and emoptherus sharks is loaded with AKGs, and since

shark liver oil from these two sharks is a golden yellow color, if there

could be any connection between this and the AKG content of cow milk. Ok,

probably not, but I read a book about shark liver oil, and it has been shown

apparently to have amazing effects on numerous diseases from allergies to

cancer and AIDS. Personally, I took it one year a few years ago, before

allergy season, and right through the summer, when I usually have terrible

allergies, and I was exposed to much higher amounts of pollen than usual that

year, and I hardly had any allergic symptoms whatsoever. And, another

success story, I cut out sugar, mostly cut out white flour, mostly cut out

coffee, and started drinking lots of raw milk, for the sake of my tooth decay

problem, and accidentally eliminated my allergies this year, which were

really kicking for a couple weeks until I made this change.

In any case, has anyone heard of this shark liver oil or have any experiences

with it?

I've heard a lot about it, but I've never found any. Where did you get yours?

Through a company called Equinox, which went out of business a few years ago

because of their marketing system, direct selling, which violeted the

" pyramid scheme " laws of several states, and were sued in a class action suit

and shut down. They got theirs from the emoptherus shark off the coast of

Austrailia, which they apparently had exclusive rights to, somehow, which had

higher AKG levels than the Greenland Shark, which is the other main source of

shark liver oil.

I think the capsules may still be for sale by someone associated with Equinox

who restructured that _section_ of the company and called it something else.

If I find out I'll let you know.

I've know of two people who have used shark liver oil who claim that it

helped boost their platelet counts. (These are people with blood disorders

that needed higher platelets.) And also two other people with the same

blood conditions that didn't get any benefits. I was told that they got

their shark liver oil from

I don't know why two out of the four had good results. I did not try it

personally.

------->chris, i have no idea if the alkylglycerols in cow milk have

anything to do with the yellow color. apparently, all mammalian species have

it in their milk and we don't all have yellow milk. i think bovine milk is

yellow, primarily, or solely due to the carotenoid content of their diet

plus the fact that they, for whatever reason, are generally high

accumulators. perhaps other species are more efficient at vit a. synthesis

from precursors...

i gave my cancer dog shark liver oil a few years ago. can't say what effect

it had on him...he was on a lot of different supplements at the time, and he

is now deceased.
