Guest guest Posted November 11, 2001 Report Share Posted November 11, 2001 Hi Dorothy You live in New Zealand right? All your animal products are from grass fed animals ? You don't eat processed american foods with hydrogenated oil? You don't use to much oleic acid (olive oil)? You probably don't need supplemental EFAs. IMHO Udo's has to much oleic acid, you only need 10% or less of your EFA intake in oleic acid. Although a couple tblsp. a day of flax oil in cottage cheese would be a good maintenance dose. Therapeutic doses are 4 or more tblsp. w/cottage cheese taken 2 x 2.

Hi Rick, yes i do, or, as i like to call NZ, **the land that time forgot** >>>>>All your animal products are from grass fed animals ? Yes, along with other stuff, but don't ask me what, we don't get told a lot here. Though this year we were told that they were going stop giving antibiotics to beef, so that is something. >>>>>You don't eat processed american foods with hydrogenated oil? No. >>>>>You don't use to much oleic acid (olive oil)? I only use the *lite* for cooking. >>>>>Although a couple tblsp. a day of flax oil in cottage cheese would be a good maintenance dose. I have just had my first dose....................YUK, that stuff is horrible, almost as bad as Udo's. >>>>>Therapeutic doses are 4 or more tblsp. w/cottage cheese taken 2 x 2. Well i hope i never need that dose then. Thank you for all your info, it is greatly appreciated. Regards, Dorothy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 11, 2001 Report Share Posted November 11, 2001 Olive oil is good for you I have read several articals stating it is especially good for males to keep prostate cancer at bay. But it must be cold pressed virgin.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2001 Report Share Posted November 11, 2001 Okay, what part do I not know here? If one is taking Udo's Choice oil, then why would there be a need to also take flax seed oil? I thought Udo's, & also Omega Nutrition's Essential Balance, oils were supposed to cover all the EFA bases? As a side note, just my own personal preference, though I prefer Omega Nutrition's oils over Barleans. Would it helped if I said I am a resident of Whatcom County where they are produced? I have purchased from both companies for years. Vache Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 11, 2001 Report Share Posted November 11, 2001 Hi Peg Olive oil is oleic acid (omega 9) and can be beneficial if the intake of the keys omega 3 and 6 is adequate. However omega 9 can displace the critical omega 3 in cells. If there is an inadequate intake of omega 3 and to much omega 9 you end up with the imbalance in the cells which can trash the immune system. This is why i said that all diseases are simply symptoms of a trashed immune system.

Ppl who have autoimmune diseases, (such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, MS), IBD, skin disorders, mood disorders etc, need to take therapeutic doses of the EFA's. By taking several sources of the EFA's (including fish oils) they are better helped. Pam Find a job, post your resume. http://careers.

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2001 Report Share Posted November 12, 2001 how much is considered therapeutic? and in what ways do you take the oils- it is hard to just awallow it from a spoon...

Sindea, you can put the Udo's Choice and the flax seen oil over salads, with cottage cheese, in protein shakes, etc. I think it's tasty mixed with yogurt and used as a salad dressing. Cod Liver Oil is very nasty tasting but a couple teaspoons three times a day is so beneficial. You can take fish oil concentrate in capsules but you have to take at least 6 a day. As far as doses, there are many variables to consider. You must do some research and see what is recommended for the condition you want to address.
