Guest guest Posted July 11, 1999 Report Share Posted July 11, 1999 Barbara Ann: When I was going up in the 50's my father made our family take it every night to keep our systems clean and we would not plug up. This is probably done when I was growing up because my Dad was born in 1902. I hope no one is taking anymore. Sue AIH Wisconsin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 11, 1999 Report Share Posted July 11, 1999 Hi, I must have missed something on cod liver oil. I took it as a child and still remember loving the taste of the yellow tablets. Why did we take it and is it now bad for us? Anita T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 12, 1999 Report Share Posted July 12, 1999 Anita: You got yellow pills? How lucky. We took it by the tablespoon every night and it would smell bad. Then it would just slide down you throat. Sounds like fun ? Sue AIH Wisconsin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 12, 1999 Report Share Posted July 12, 1999 Code Liver Oil was used to keep the bowels regular..My memory of it was that some mothers were very preoccupied with their childrens regularity. this was the cure for that..

Guest guest Posted July 12, 1999 Report Share Posted July 12, 1999 I agree, we took it by tablespoons also but I thought we were given it to prevent rickets. I remembered the bottle being dark amber shaped like a fish with scales. It did not prevent AIH, huh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 12, 1999 Report Share Posted July 12, 1999 Hi guys, I think this is so funny! My dad recently made fun of my mom because when she was a kid her parents would make her take cod liver oil in pill form as well...but she loved them! She'd put them in the fridge, and chew on them for fun!!! >From: Roselle50@... >Reply- onelist > onelist >Subject: Re: [ ] Re: Cod liver oil? >Date: Mon, 12 Jul 1999 00:47:08 EDT > >From: Roselle50@... > >Anita: > >You got yellow pills?

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2002 Report Share Posted May 7, 2002 What about Carlson's Lemon Flavored Cod Liver Oil? You can order it mail order or request your health food store to possibly order it for you.. This is my first post so I am not sure where this message will end up.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 > > Hello, > I did not see my band on the reccommended list of cod liver oils. I am using Nordic Naturals Arctic Cod Liver Oil with natural lemon oil in it. On the back of the bottle it reads: may contain traces of soy or derivatives. Is this ok? ==>Traces of soy may be too small to be concerned about. There is a Nordic Naturals listed in the Cod Liver Oil Folder called " Cod Liver Oil Products with Nutrient Levels " . If yours is the same one it only has correct amounts of Omega 3, but is too low in vitamins A & D so it is not recommended, unless you buy a separate product that contains vitamins A & D. > P.S.: Instead of taking it through the mouth, could you apply it to the face since it has Vitamins A and D? ==>No, you would not be able to obtain enough through the skin; you must take them by mouth.
