==>200 IUs of what? Why do you need to find out how many calories it

is?

==>Weight loss is the least of your problems when you have candida,

which will normalize as you progress on this program. You have been

doing a lot of exercise so give your body time to adjust after you've

following the recommendations I gave you previously.

==>Olive oil helps put on weight in healthy people, but it may not work

for you because there are other factors involved in weight issues.

Olive oil isn't a quick fix for increasing weight.

200IUs (international units) of Cod Liver Oil in 2 capsules. Just trying to

figure out if my calories from fat are correct based on the ratio calculation.

It was stated that the cod liver oil should be counted in the fat allowance.

Hi , that is true that the fat from cod liver oil should be

counted toward your ratios, but to do the ratios, you don't count

calories at all, you count grams.

Well I guess I would have to research how many IU make a gram.

Oops, I'm sorry , I see the problem now, you are taking capsules,

and not straight cod liver oil, so you can not measure it in grams or

teaspoons. Sorry I missed that the first time. Since IUs specify

vitamin concentration in the oil, and not the oil itself, I don't

think IUs would be helpful to look at either. Maybe if you call the

company, and ask how many milligrams of oil are in each capsule, that

might be an easier way to figure it out.

==>, 1 tablespoon of oil equals 13.6 grams of fat, so you wouldn't

translate IUs or MGs to grams either. It is the amount of the oil.

to buy any of these flavors?

==>Hi . High Vitamin Blue Ice is the best because you only need 1

tsp. per day plus 10,000 IU of vitamin A, from a capsule (a liver oil

of some kind like halibut or shark - it shouldn't contain any vitamin

D). Yes it is okay to buy any of the flavors. Actually cinnamon is

antifungal, and it is also in Bee's Raw Drink. Here's my Nutrient

comparison chart for different brands of cod liver oil:

The amount of mercury in a good CLO will be very, very tiny and for

the vast majority of kids the benefits of CLO far, far outweigh the

risks with the mercury. Our kids are often highly deficient in omega

3's and the vitamins A and D that CLOs can offer.

Lots of people like Nordic Naturals. Green Pastures has a highly

recommended one (as the processing is more beneficial) but it is a

bit harder to take because of the taste. It is sometimes helpful to

try a few different ones to see how your child does.

It can - along with lead, PCBs, and pesticides.

The key is to find an oil that has 3rd party testing available showing the

levels of these contaminants to tolerances that are sufficient to ensure that

they are not toxic. Usually, such oils have gone through some kind of a cold

distillation process.

The two that we have found are nordic naturals and eskimo oil.

As for the Green Pastures oil, as of 2 years ago Dave Wexler had admitted to

never seeing any test results on this oil. With regard to Premier, I've seen

the tests and the PCB levels were high.

Has CLO appreciative amounts of mercury in it?

What's the best source of omega 3?

>I started my son on CLO for the same reasons, to help with eye contact

it helps with viral issues.

Thanks . Did you start with a low dosage and work your way up? I gave my

son 1/2

a teaspoon last night...a full dose is 1 teaspoon so I may have started too

high. Do you

give it every day? I know it has some blood thinning effects so I am not sure if

every day is

okay and I haven't yet done enough research on it. Usually I research everything

for

weeks, but this has been used since I was a child so I feel some comfort with

it. Any

advice would be appreciated. Thank you,

I thought the full dosage of cod liver oil was 1/2 tsp. per

day...not 1 tsp. per day? We were only allowed to do 1 tsp. per day

for a 3 wk. healing period and then were instructed to go back to

1/2 tsp per our DAN's plan for our son.

Thanks so much...I read through the link, but I am confused as to how much would

be

considered too much. If I give my son 1/2 teaspoon a day is that a safe amount.

He has

only taken it 2 days. If anyone else is using it and seeing good or bad results

please let me

know. And thanks again Mia.

Hi . Yes it is okay. Take 4 teaspoons per day so you get

enough omega-3 and vitamin D. However, you will also need an

additional vitamin A supplement from one of the liver oils, i.e.

halibut, shark, cod, etc. (it should not include vitamin D). Total

vitamin A minimum is 20,000 IU per day.

Bee,

There is a file section (in the group) with a file about CLO

(last updated in 2006). It says Garden of Life needs A and D

supplementation. It also says take ONE tbsp.

On your website, there is a page about CLO. It too says Garden of Life

requires A and D supplementation. It also says take only ONE tbsp.

Please clarify.

The Whole Foods in Oakville, which is about 2 hrs away from you

carries it. Maybe they'll mail it to you. Or one day when you're out

exploring your new environment you could take a drive out there. It's

on Trafalgar Road Oakville.

==>If you look at the doses per tablespoon, you can take 2

tablespoons and not have to take extra A & D. But Garden of Life is

expensive, so it is cheaper to take only 1 tbl. and supplement with

vit. A & D.

If you do a little calculating you can figure out these things too.

Vitamin A you would need to take 9 softgels per day, which is:

Vitamin A = 20,000 IU

Vitamin D = 2,500 IU

Omega 3 = 2,400 mg

That is more vitamin D than my ranges, but most people can use it!

+++Hi . Cod liver oil comes in many flavours, including

cinnamon, i.e. Blue Ice brand. I buy Garden of Life CLO which is

lemon flavoured. I don't think it tastes fishy at all, but that's a

matter of taste, eh?

You don't have to take CLO by mouth; simply rub the recommended

amount into your lower abdomen every day. Some people also mix it

with warm-hot water, which waters down the taste, even though fat and

water doesn't mix very well. they toss it back quickly all at once,

followed by something tasty like Bee's Egg Drink.
