Hi I'm sure it breaks lots of list rules, but do

you have a wholesale source that you are using or

recommend for the fish oil?

thanks,

Bob

It breaks no rules I am aware of. try naturalfactors.com

 

There may be better or equivalent products, but I just happened to stumble

onto this one when looking for something to give to my 2 elderly cats. It is

always OK to tout a product here, but if one has a vested interest in the

product, that must be disclosed. If I find out that anyone is using this list

for

sales purposes by concealing their interests, they are banned. the posts from

such folks never even make it to the list. I think maybe 5 such sales pitches

have gotten past me in five years. Bob flaws regularly points out when BP

makes a product that meet a need expressed on the list. Everyone knows he

stands to gain, so its kosher. the line of demarcation is whether such posts

address an expressed need or are purely solicitous.

Hi all,

as all Norwegian children was " force-fed " cod-oil every day from birth to 15

years, the effect of the oil should be traceable in the Norwegian population.

Some years ago some investigation said that intake of fish-oil elevated IQ. If

so, then the Norwegian population should be more intelligent that the average.

Well, the thought is nice, but I don't think it is real.....

Interestingly, I have read reports indicating that the nervous system is

made of approximately 60% fat. A large percentage of this being DHA.

I believe the increase in IQ for taking DHA, is in over coming a

deficiency. Typically the US diet is lacking in DHA. Certainly, baby formulas

were

lacking in DHA and breast milk is high in DHA.

If you take a deficient diet and supplement, you will support the nervous

system. If the nervous system already has an abundance of DHA available,

then I would not assume you will still receive significant benefit.

Much of the cod liver oil on the american market seems rancid to me. how

good is the norwegian quality. cod liver oil concerns me because of the

vitamin A and D content also. but perhaps this is unfounded. I don't know

about intelligence, but I have no doubt that the modern dietary intake of EFAs

is quite skewed from what nature intended. Even without evidence of heart

protective effects and so on, it just stands to reason that fish oil is good for

you (but only if its good quality).

Hi,

well, as I told ALL Norwegian children were fed good quality fish-oil, for at

leasr 15 years (in the 50-, 60- and 70-ties. Now that has stopped, but no

difference were seen, in disease or IQ, so I have lost much of my belief in such

oils.

If I'm not mistaken, natural factors is a pharmaceutical grade fish oil,

similar to Barry Sears' product mentioned on this list about a year ago. My

concern is whether pharmaceutical grade fish oil is sustainable. Here is a

quite from Dr. Sear's website. This is in reference to their

" ultra-refined " fish oil, which I am taking liberty to equate with

" pharmaceutical grade " .

 

---

" Because of these tight specifications, the supply of this type of this fish

oil is

very limited since it takes 100 kg. of health-food grade fish oil to make 1

kg. of

utlra-refined fish oil concentrate.

 

You will never find this quality of fish oil in any health food store

because it is

simply too expensive for them, considering that ultra-refined fish oil

concentrates

are up to 1,000 times more pure than health-food grade fish oils. "

---

 

Does anyone know how wasteful other good quality oils are, such as

Phytopharmica/Enzymatic Therapy: Eskimo3 or Carlson Labs: Super Omega3, or

hell, even a good quality Cod Liver oil such as that sold by Carlson labs?

 

This is an important question since the general population is catching on to

the trend of EFAs. We don't want our fish stock to go the way of

Goldenseal.

I like to use cod liver oil because it is convenient for me & it is easy to

give to my dogs (who eat better than I do). My bottle of Carlson Labs Cod

liver oil states the following:

1 teaspoon=

Vitamin A 1000-1250 IU 20-25%US RDA

Vitamin D 400-500 IU 100-120%US RDA

Vitamin E 30 IU 30%US RDA

 

DHA 500-550mg

EPA 460-500mg

ALA 46-50mg

 

Vitamins A & D are fat soluble, & they are contained within fatty oil, it

seems that the tools for their efficient breakdown are inclusive. Can

someone who is educated on these matters comment on this?

 

Also, is a 1:1 EPA/DHA ratio acceptable? The Natural Factors site claims:

" A 2:1 ratio of EPA and DHA, as in RxOmega-3 Factors, has been the primary

ratio proven in scientific studies reporting clinical benefits from the use

of pharmaceutical-grade fish oil products. "

 

Note that they specify studies about " pharmaceutical-grade fish oil

products. " I am aware of only a few such products, & they may all have a

2:1 ratio (that may be all that was studied). Does anyone know if these or

other studies indicate that other ratios are ineffective?

All the good companies use so called pharmaceutical grade fish oil, that is

molecularly distilled oil. By the way Metagenics has a nice product that is

entericlly coated so that people that get regerge of other oil products can use.

I like bioessence products. I think your company sells that product, correct?

I am going to bet there are a few large fish processors and the rest of

these companies buy from them.

My recommendation goes to Carlson. AFAIK, they are one of the biggest

producers do cold distillation and are conscious of oxidation to the point of

adding nitrogen and anti oxidants to the bottles. A clear winner to me.

About fish oils...

 

The whole food ie: eating fish is always better than eating any

supplement. This will not deplete the worlds supply of fish any

faster than eating the fish oils plus as we all know isolating

ingredients(as in herbs) we are missing out on the rest of the

important ingredients. Plus it tastes damn good!! Stop taking

supplements when you can have the real thing. Food is meant for

eating not for popping pills IMO. Whew!

San Diego still has quite a few hook and line tuna jig boats that

home port there. You can get high Omega 3,low mercury, sustainably

caught, fish directly from the fisherman. If you want names,

websites and phone numbers please contact me. Many of the salmon

fisherman I know here(pacific NW) will fedex your fish to you

anywhere in the country.

My disclaimer; I am a former fisherman turned acupuncturist and

herbalist married to a part-time halibut and blackcod fisherman who

currently has a Kellogg fellowship to work on sustainable, small

boat fisheries and connecting fishermen with markets and visa-

versa. He has endless info to send anyone that cares to email me.

We have no financial stake in any of the boats or addresses that we

send you as none of the fish he catches are marketed directly.

I think you are missing the point. Many people have no interest in consuming

the amount of fish necessary to get an adequate balance of EFA's. This

discussion speaks to healthcare options, not best case scenarios of 100%

whole foods diets. It would take basically eating fish as one's only source of

protein. Options include grass fed beef and high DHA eggs, but for many these

options still do not suffice. Paul Bergner noted that fish oil has actually

been

collected and used as " food " in many cultures and he does not think of it as a

supplement anymore. There are also medicinal uses of many foods in TCM

that require concentration and extraction beyond what one would use for

simple nutrition alone. Fish oil does not just nourish in the long term, but

has

active medicinal values when concentrated.

 

While we can work towards a world that produces more whole nutritious

foods, in the mean time we need more options than to just tell people to eat

right. Certainly one is better off taking vtamin C in synthetic form than not

getting enough to prvent scurvy. The vast majority of the world gets most of

their protein from commercial meat. That will not change soon. EFA

supplementation can prevent immense suffering and fish oil can support some

of this need. I also do not believe it is correct that there is enough

uncontaminated fresh fish to feed the world. And while I do certainly have

access to fish in SD, the prices are quite high for fish of any quality, far

beyond the budget of many households

 

In addition, who is to say that a diet of 100% whole foods is superior to one

that is perhaps slightly less pristine, but also contains certain key

supplements. What is the difference between taking herbs that have been

extracted and made into pills or taking fish oil that has been extracted and

made into pills. Both fish and plant parts are used as medicinals in TCM..

 

Modern evolutionary biology teaches us that species adapt to their

environment for the purpose of reproduction. Nature has no interest in humans

or any animal beyond reproduction. So the foods that nature provides are

sufficient to produce robust teens capable of reproducing and livng long

enough for their children to mature. There is no reason to assume that eating

such a whole foods natural diet would be the best path to longevity and health

of many decades past prime childbearing.

 

I would suggest that the ability to survive to 1 century or longer is a

productof human culture, not nature. and that culture has involved the use of

various supplements and other manmade measures for optimum health. The

question then arises as to when we draw the technological line. Is it OK to

collect fish oil in a barrel, but not in a test tube. Ancient methods of

processing altered the biochemistry of the substances processed to siolate

certain properties and elimnate others, including toxins. Is this only

acceptable when performed in some low tech fashion or are modern extracts

just an extension of the tradition of manipulation of natural products that has

gone on since the dawn of time?

Although this is a nice idea, it isn't necessarily correct. As you point

out there are good grades of fish and other fish to avoid. So whole food

isn't necessarily the best. Also, depending on the state of the persons health,

taking a supplement of oil may be called for in over coming a deficiency or

specific health issue.

I will say that in healthy people, who have adequate nutritional

reserves, that eating whole organic foods in a low stress environment is

probably all

that is needed to maintain health.

On the other hand, the above situation isn't common. It can also be

argued that there are compounds that extend life can be added in supplement form

will heighten acuity and lifespan over just food.

Many people given he opportunity of being healthy and having and the

opportunity to a longer life with greater mobility will choose the former.

God is great and food can be improved. IMHO

Jill: Perhaps I did miss the point. It sounded like you and the

others that were discussing fish oils were talking about healthy

people taking supplements as a matter of course.

If people are ill then we supplement them with herbs or whatever

until they are well and then they resume their normal way of being

with some advice on eating healthier. As humans our normal way to

get our nutrition and sustinence is through eating. I do believe we

should be able to get that in North America.

 

Todd: Paul Bergner noted that fish oil has actually been

> collected and used as " food " in many cultures and he does not

Jill: Fish oils were used as a means of storing and trading high

energy foods, just like making cheese was used in many cultures.

Eulochon grease(from the Pacific) was used also to preserve

berries. Also eulachon are just about all oil. I maintain they

were food not supplements.

Jill: Neither is there enough fish oil, and some of it is very poor

quality. Do you know where the oils that you recommend come from?

 

And while I do certainly have

During the season you can buy albacore for less $2.00 lb off the

boats. We had people of all socioeconomic backgrouds come to buy

our fish when we used to sell on the docks in Seattle.

California(and the whole west coast)is now having an up cycle of

sardines which are now mostly going for fish meal to meet the demand

for farmed fish food. Some of it goes to oils and some goes to feed

cows in Japan. Wouldn't it be so much better if people had access

to this delicious, inexpensive fish directly? The fishermen are

getting pennies for a # of these incredible delicious fish. Ask

your fishmonger to carry this fish and see if you can start a

trend. Even if the middlemen raise the price by 10 times it would

still be affordable by all.

Jill: slightly less pristine, no problem. The problem is when

people won't eat right or even enjoy their food but are happy to

take handfuls of pills. I'm sure the Spleen has trouble

transforming that.

The difference lies in what is considered food and what is

medicinal. Food is what sustains us, medicines are what we use to

regain balance, and then we(hopefully)quit taking them.

Are you ok with GM foods then? That could be an extension of

manipulation of natural foods. Some think that is a great

improvement on organic whole food.

I know I am not ok with it.

Great discussion thanks.

In dry landlocked areas such as SD and CO and many others, this is just not

an option. There is no such thing as a fishmonger in such areas. We can

pay very high prices for fresh fish flown in (primarily available only in

very expensive restaurants specializing in seafood - and those are very few

here in Denver), buy frozen (still pricey) or canned (2 oz can of sardines

costs $3+ here in Denver). To buy off the boat is something only htose

living on a coast can do. The vast majority of us do not live in areas like

that. Fish oil/omega 3 oil supplements is an affordable means of getting

the nutrition we need in our dry climate.

It would be nice if all animal foods were raised to produce high EFA's. then

whatever you ate, you would get your basic needs. Until such a time,

supplements are all we have.
