Re: Tom-Welcome-?Marine Lipids for UC/CD

[Guest guest]

Yes! I'm so glad that you brought that up. I was thinking of

anti-inflammatories when I mentioned the Krill Oil. I heard Dr.

Bradstreet (famous doctor for autistic patients) talk at Autism One in

May, 2005, and I have a copy of that talk on audiotape. He just raved

about Krill Oil, and mentioned that preliminary studies showed that it

has much greater anti-inflammatory properties than other fish oils. I

have a bottle here but unfortunately don't have the box anymore. The box

had a graph on how Krill Oil compared to other anti-inflammatories and it

did look impressive.

I don't know how SuperEPA compares but both are marine lipids.

Gladioli,

Our daughter has UC, but the fish oils her dr. always want

her to take (Metagenics) always seem to cause more D. What

brand did/does your husband take?

Hi Rhonda,

Keep in mind these are just my opinions based on what different

health care practitioners have said to me over the last 25 yeaars.

My husband uses SuperEPA, which is a trademarked product. We purchase

ours from Allergy Research Group/Nutricology. This product contains

double the amount of EPA and DHA compared to most marine lipids. If

your child is having diarrhea from Metagenics product, this may not

be any better. Here's where my opinion part comes in.

I, at one time, was a patient of Dr. Leo Galland who is mentioned in

the foreward of Dr. Gottschall's book. He told me that in looking at

his patient population, 15% are deficient in omega 6 fatty acids and

85% are deficient in omega 3 (marine is omega 3). Fish oil is

immensely helpful to my husband, but makes me absolutely miserable.

I fall into that 15% category and cannot function without my evening

primrose oil (omega 6). If you really feel your daughter is fatty

acid deficient you might want to take a look at Dr. Galland's

book " SupperImmunity for Kids " which will give you some suggestions

on how to figure out which if any fatty acids your child is deficient

in. If this does not appeal to you, you might want to consider

asking your daughters doc to do an Essential and Metabolic Fatty Acid

Analysis (RBC) at Great Smokies Lab.

That's more info. than you asked for, but perhaps it will be helpful.
