RE: Re: fish oil/PCB lawsuit

[Guest guest]

A good company will get their fish from arctic sea (the cleanest sea in world)

and will use fish flesh not fish liver (liver being the most dirty par of fish)

Thats a couple of things to think about

I not long back spoke with a doctor, who is presently working at one of only two

nordic natural distributors here in Australia - but is still practicing as a pd.

He told me his reasoning for working there, one day a week, was due to his

'passion' with regards to nordic naturals products. He is a strong advocator in

the benefit of fish oil for several different conditons.

He told me that the nordic naturals products, in his opinion, are the cleanest

and 'best' availale in the world - which is why he spends one day a week working

here, to be available to offer his own personal 'medical' advice over the phone

to people looking into the different products offered by NN.

dosage and (in this case) quality of the oils. I'd say in this group we pretty

much just use high quality oils -but I was reading on our apraxia.org page one

mom was giving her child some eBay brand you can get for 99 cents (it wasn't

working) and yes in cases like that you'd have to worry about quality.
