Guest guest Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Dale, I am on a very low carb diet due to sibo (small intestinal overgrowth). I have noticed my poops have become pale, I assume, due to poor bile flow. I am going to add lecithin (I have taken before with good success for acne). I have the granules though. I have a 1 pound bag. 1 T has about 7 grams of lecithin. You mention taking 4800mg I assume of the liquid. Do you think that 1 T of granules = 1 T of liquid ? The reason I ask is in Cabots book she recommends " Lecithin in a daily dose of 3-4 T of the fresh lecithin granules or 4000 mg of lecithin capsules. " If my calculations are correct she is recommending 21-28 grams of granules or 4 grams of liquid. Thank you, Mer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Hi, Lecithin emulsifies fat and I had heard of othrs having success iwth it for acne. I put about 2 T in my veggie broth (I made a batch at once to last 4 days, added 8 T lecithin granules and put this through the blender). It worked - my skin clearled up. I only took it 2 or 3 months and have been off it for months and my skin is just starting to break out again. I also starting a very small amount of zinc - 5mg - at the same time and the veggie broth. But i do think it was the lecithin that did the trick. mer > > > > Dale, > > I am on a very low carb diet due to sibo (small intestinal overgrowth). > > > > I have noticed my poops have become pale, I assume, due to poor bile flow. > > > > I am going to add lecithin (I have taken before with good success for acne). > > > > I have the granules though.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Dr Carlson Wade said in his book that he put a lady on 8 Tablespoons a day for 3 weeks and saved her from open heart surgery as it cleaned out all her arteries, dissolving all the plaque. I sometimes cook meat for my animals and the grease is so heavy on the top of the liquid, I pour about 2 T liquid lecithin on it and stir and watch the grease dissolve fast. Lecithin is a good source of B vitamins. The granules are better tasting than the liquid but the liquid it good to use in blending juices or smoothies. The granules are good to use in place of butter in hot cereals, sprinkled over salads and stirred into juices. This is how we use it. > > Dale, > I am on a very low carb diet due to sibo (small intestinal overgrowth). > > I have noticed my poops have become pale, I assume, due to poor bile flow. > > I am going to add lecithin (I have taken before with good success for acne). > > I have the granules though.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 Dave (or anyone else), I have an unrelated question for you. It was determined that through a blood test, I have a Vitamin D deficiency. My doctor recommended that I take a Vitamin D supplement. I have been doing just that. But more recently, someone told me that you have to be careful as taking Vitamin D will actually cause your Vitamin A levels to decrease. Is this true? Thanks!

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 That might be a great idea for some, but living in the Midwest, we don't see as much sunshine. ...especially in the wintertime. > > From: fjnie1234 <Fred.Niehaus@...> > Subject: Re: Dale - lecithin > gallstones > Date: Thursday, October 15, 2009, 8:14 AM > > > > > > > > > > > > > Dave (or anyone else), I have an unrelated question for you.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 Dave, what do you think about taking cod liver oil? I understand that it contains vitamin D, Vitamin A, and the ever-important omega 3s. I have been considering a cod liver oil product from Premier Research Labs which sells only high-quality stuff. Thanks so much! --- In gallstones , " Dave Shelden " <wholehealthawareness@...> wrote: > > Hey there Fred. Would not worry for a second about it. Actually have never heard about any interaction. V-D is actually a hormone not a vitamin since we produce it ourselves. We have developed a pandemic of V-D deficiency by the made up idea that exposure to the sun is bad for us. Gobs of new science coming out about the importance of V-D and the much higher quantities needed than what was previously accepted. So much that Canada's equivalent to the Dept. of Health has increased their daily recommended intake of V-D for pregnant women to 10 times what they had it set at before. All the necessary data on toxicity exists from the 1940's when it was prescribed under 3 different pharmaceutical names for a specific (I forgot what) condition. It was being used in quantities of 300,000-700,00iu per day and toxicities did not show up until 12-18 months of treatment. I regularly use it in amounts between 10,000 and 40,000 iu per day with many clients with no problem at all. To give you an idea, if you were to be in a swimsuit , in Phoenix, around June 20th, at approx noon, you would be producing 11,000iu per hour on your own... As a general rule, the more the merrier. I am also a proponent of taking extra V-A as well. Extremely important to get only naturally derived of both, and that would include beta carotene (pro vitamin A) as well. Can't recommend these enough. -D > Re: Dale - lecithin > > > Dave (or anyone else), I have an unrelated question for you. It was determined that through a blood test, I have a Vitamin D deficiency.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 Jay, for the longest time, I did not know about the connection between vitamin D and the sun. I also did not know about the connection between vitamin D and depression. You hear about people complaining about being depressed during the wintertime. I always thought that was figurative. Now I understand that a lack of sunshine, particularly in the wintertime is a real cause of depression. If people only knew... I am just starting to understand how so many " psycological " problems are really physical problems (imbalances or whatever) that are perceived to require " mental " help. There are so many people today on anti-depressants and other drugs that would not be necessary if they just identified and corrected their physical deficiencies or imbalances. The vitamin D is just one example of many.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 How about fermented cod liver oil? I've not tried it myself, but have read some good things about it.
