Re: Soy free Omega 3 & 6, proper ratio

[Guest guest]

If you find one let me know. I'm looking too. Originally a DAN had put

my son on CLO, and he knew he was soy sensitive, so I made the mistake

of trying it. It took us a month to get the poor kid back on track from

that. Then I went back and explained AGAIN about soy being an issue and

he sold us an EPA that ALSO had soy in it! Luckily I caught it that

time and did not give it to my son. And I cancelled the next appt with

that doctor, that was his 3rd thing that I had to " catch " .

Yes, the same thing keeps happening wit us. Soy is in so many things! Can anyone

advise

soy free Omega 3 & 6 and explain the proper ratio and dosage for a 30lb child?

Thanks in advance for any help,

I've heard Manitoba Harvest's process for making hempseed oil, and no

mention of soy. And you can call Barleans (the flaxseed oil people) and ask,

although when I talked to them, soy wasn't mentioned.

And as far as I know Dr. Fuhrman's DHA is from microalgae only. ... I just

went and called them again to make sure there's no soy in it. There isn't.

It says that a few drops, easily hidden in food, delivers a full dose of

omega 3. Here's there # if you want to call: 1 800 474-HEAL extension 221 for

customer service.

As to the 6's to 3's ratio part of this question, I just watched a fantastic

video about this

very topic. " Essential Facts About Essential Fats "

(http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7305832096911620394)

And I found out that, except for me, my whole family is NOT getting ENOUGH

Omega-6's

mostly due to 3-supplementing plus an extremely low processed food intake, and

also the

fact that we use olive and coconut oils only in the home. I never thought about

it in this

way...just that " X oil is healthier " or " X oil is unhealthy " and that's not

entirely true...we DO

need Omega- 6's. So I bought Grapeseed oil to use part of the time to help

balance that

out.

Now, we're not typical (though we might have company within this group of

careful GFCF

diets, etc...) The presenter says that most people get a ratio of up to 20:1

Omega 6's to

Omega 3's so for most people supplementing 3's is recommended as well as cutting

down

on 6's by substituting olive oil, etc (this is why large scale studies show ANY

consumption

of olive oil has beneficial health effects...not because Olive oil is so

healthy, in and of

itself, it's just an Omega 9 and doesn't affect the ratio of Essential Fats

negatively).

So, the proper ratio of all intake (not just supplements but from all sources)

should be

somewhere between 4:1 and 1:1 Omega 6's to Omega 3's, he says.

VERY informative video (stick with it, starts out slow) and lists a lot of the

foods which

contribute to these ratios, and WHAT they do in the body, and WHY. (See the

link above)
