Re: high vitamin cod liver oil

[Guest guest]

I would take the Blue Ice fermented clo and then if you need more D, take that

as a supplement. as to the opened bottle, I would use it.

Thank you for your reply Carolyn. Is that what you and most of the people on

this list do? Supplement extra D? I'm trying to get this right... and it's just

confusing. I wish people here who are experts at studying this nutrition

business would list off what supplements you take and how much.

Thanks,

Judy

I don't take supplements on a regular basis but I do eat liver almost every day.

Gosh, Carolyn, I don't think we are supposed to eat liver everyday. The Vitamin

D council says don't any liver and others say eat is once a week.

I moved to Arizona (from NJ) to get my Vitamin D.

As for supplements, I don't take anything consistently - rather, I use them

more like medicinals. I will take B2 if I've got cracks in my lips or a

sore throat (and I recently discovered it fixes a particular cramp), B6 if

my eyes are dry/sore/red or if I'm having trouble sleeping/dreaming (usually

accompanied by B3 and tryptophan and sometimes magnesium for sleep issues),

B3 (as niacinamide) if I have a headache, B1, B3 or magnesium (or all 3) if

I get cramps, A if my eyes become sensitive to light, calcium when my spleen

wiggles or my lips tingle, for acidity shown by fast yet shallow breathing

sometimes takes several attempts but the answer is usually biotin, arginine,

manganese or borage oil (for the GLA), biotin also for yeasty symptoms

including itching... and the list goes on. I can't remember everything off

the top of my head (and sometimes even when I'm having the symptom it takes

me a few days to remember what I normally take for it) - it doesn't help

(with my memory) that these things don't come around often either!

Thanks so much for this information Lana! Wish I could move somewhere to get

more Vitamin D. I decided to buy some extra D3 capsules and take that along with

the CLO.

Your list is very informative. I'm having a terrible time right now with

sleeping. I wake up after two hours of sleep and don't really sleep at all after

that. B6 helps with sleep issues? Just this week I've started taking melatonin

but I'm still waking up, and when I took it after waking up I still didn't

sleep. Last night was my first time trying Gaba. (I think it's called that) I

woke up again after two hours took another gaba and didn't sleep at all. Tonight

I'm going to double the dose and hope it works. I feel very anxious and

generally off feeling when I take magnesium, so that doesn't work either.

B6.... maybe something else to try! I was taking a general B vitamin every

morning but stopped when the sleep issues started happening because I thought B

gave you more energy and I thought it might be interfering with my sleep.

Thanks!

B vitamins power many reactions in the body. From making energy, to

distributing it, to helping you fall asleep. B2 and B3 are especially vital

for chemical reactions in the body as they become FAD and NADH, cofactors

you'll find in most of the body's processes.

B6+Magnesium is particularly good for sleep, provided you have enough

Tryptophan (or 5HTP) to convert into melatonin. The Magnesium is especially

relaxing when you get it in the form of an epsom salt bath right before

bed.

Also, do your best to keep your room dark as any amount of light will make

you need more melatonin (and thus more precursors) to stay asleep. I turn

my alarm clock face down and block out my humidifier LCD. Black electrical

tape works really well for LCD/LEDs you don't need at all.

All depends how much you eat I suppose. Most of the " warnings " about liver are

just wrong. They are based on just a few, poorly designed studies that got lots

of press. I suggest reading all the vitamin A articles on the WAPF site to

understand this rather complex issue. (There's only 3 or 4)

Liver is nature's multi-vitamin so eating a little (1-2oz) everyday is fine. I

take a pound of liver which usually comes out to 4-5 slices and cut the slices

in half. Then divide all the halves into containers of 2-3 halves each. In this

way I always have a little on hand.
