Re: ProEFA-FDA approved? /Ann Marie don't lurk

[Guest guest]

Marie,

I want to thank you for posting, or anyone for posting. Out of this

list there are too many lurkers already -please don't go back to

lurking. Just think -you changed the subject from fish oil (which

pointed out) Many of us post to answer questions -and fish

oil appears to get the most. So -to answer your fish oil

question...

For those that only wants to supplement their child with FDA approved

fish oil. You can increase the fish in your child's diet -but follow FDA

guidelines as found at http://www.shop-in-service.com/new_page_8.htm let them

drink FDA approved DHA, AA (Omega 3/6) supplemented baby formula -

which the dosage works out to one ProEFA capsule according to a past

post from one of the PhD's that's in the archives, or wait four or

five years till after the pharmaceuticals can find ways to patent and

sell something that comes from a food naturally (like fish oil) -they

are working on it now -and I've posted the links in the past but they

are easy enough to find them and more at google.com.

http://vm.cfsan.fda.gov/~rdb/opa-gn02.html

" Provide arachidonic acid (AA) at a mean level of 0.4 percent of

total fatty acids and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) at a mean level of

0.25 percent of total fatty acids in preterm infant formula used by

hospitalized premature infants; AA at a mean level of 0.4 percent of

total fatty acids and DHA at a mean level of 0.15 percent of total

fatty acids in preterm infant formula used by post-discharge

premature infants; and AA at a mean level of 0.4 percent of total

fatty acids and DHA at a mean level of 0.15 percent of total fatty

acids in term infant formula "

To - I too would love it if ProEFA was this FDA alert - take ProEFA!

And so on. Because it is nervewracking to try it, then get any sort of side

effect, and know you are doing this because you hopped on-line and not

because your FDA said " Do this! It's great! "

Honestly, though, I really feel that what is pushed are man-made

pharmacuetical drugs that are very expensive and can make profits so the

investment made to pass them through the FDA is made back 100 times over and

so on. Herbal remedies, nutrition supplements, these are not huge money

makers -- and so recognition and the attempt to educate the public about

them, etc. is very low.

A case in point - you know the " new " cream called Vanique advertised in

women's mags? It's supposed to stop unwanted facial hair growth. Well it

was originally developed in what I believe was the treatment of AIDS. Of

course the highest concentration of AIDS is in Africa and who can afford it

there? So even though it was effective it was taken off the market. Then

it was discovered that it stopped unwanted facial hair...so it's back again,

being remarketed as this beauty product because that will make money! Thank

God for those pesky post-pregnancy hairs since maybe the number of women

wanting to eliminate them will inadvertently help those who need the drug

for other reasons.
