Guest guest Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Hi Kim, If you are trying to figure out whether your child is still in need of omega 3 and/or 6 oils, there is very helpful information in the book " SuperImmunity for Kids " by Leo Galland, MD. Dr. Galland is mentioned in the foreward of BTVC. You may be able to get a copy from your local library.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Hey everyone! I am still working on the legality of my children's supplemental protocols and nearing the end. Thanks for everyone's help so far. I have another one to analyze -- vital nutrients' ultra pure fish oil " RS " (regular strength). The website is http://www.vitalnutrients.net . It is catagorized under fishoil, ultra pure RS 220ml. The ingredients are EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), other omega 3 fatty acids, natural lemon flavor, antioxidant blend (rosemary extract, ascorbyl palmitate, natural tocopherols), triglyceride form fish oil. OK . . . so the natural flavors and such sound fishy to me (pun intended ). But has anyone already checked this out? If not, what questions do I need to ask to investigate? What answers should I expect? Thanks in advance for any guidance. I am trying my darndest to get this right. All help is greatly appreciated. Jeni Lynn SCD 2 weeks mom to Margeaux, 5 yr.

If it is just natural flavour than no it would be illegal. If it is lemon oil then it would be okay. Sheila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Thank you, Sheila. I called the company like you said. The woman I spoke to thought that it was lemon oil, but she was going to double check and get back to me. I appreciate you taking the time to help me learn how to investigate this stuff. Without you and others here, I wouldn't know what questions to ask these manufacturing companies. I feel like I am learning a lot as I move along, though, so -- hopefully -- my posted questions will become few and far between. It will be nice to " arrive " at a level where I can be a tad more self-sufficient and give as ya'll do.

I don't know about the soft gels - there is no list of what the soft gels are made with. If you want the soft gels call the company and check what they are made of. Along these lines: Elaine recommended vitamin D supplementation in the winter months - either cod liver, halibut oil or Vitamin D supplements (page 65, 10th edition BTVC) During summer months fish oil is sufficient.
