Guest guest Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 In the files' cold & flu treatments " supplement " section, it says to take " 100,000 mg vit a daily " . That would be a HUGE amount, so I'm thinking it's probably a typo. Should that be 100,000 IU's??? (Which would be 10 shark liver oil softgels daily, as opposed to the one we normally take?) One softgel is 400 mg or 10,000 IU's. If she needed 100,000 mg's of vitamin a, that would equal 250 softgels each DAY... which would be more than 2 bottles. My wife thinks she is coming down with a cold or the flu (which is rampant around here!), and she made me stop at CVS and buy her some Tylenol Cold. I'm trying to talk her into using NATURAL remedies, instead of doing something that will impede the healing of her already weak immune system. She hasn't opened the box yet... so there's still hope!

It is taken for shorter periods of time during a cold, cough or flu. My M.D. actually recommended it 20 years ago. You do not take it for long periods of time. Not taking it for a day or two allows the body to adjust anyway. It is excellent for the mucus membranes. > (Which would be 10 shark liver oil softgels daily, as opposed to the one we normally take?)

She should help her body get through it by following this article too: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/detox.php Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
