This is great. I always hear about how clove oil and vanilla extract help with toothaches, and now I can add cod liver oil and butter oil to my list of natural remedies. Thanks!

I just started giving my 11 month old baby the nourishing traditions milk-based formula and she had a pretty bad allergic reaction. Do you know what could have caused it, I am thinking maybe the fish oil? Would appreciate any feedback. Thanks

Back to the DHA/EPA…I am a nursing mother and recently purchased BLUE ICE Gold Therapeutics. I liked it because it has CLO and butter oil combined. The stuff is a lot more concentrated than the high vitamin CLO (you get the same A and D amount in 1 ml of GT as you would in a 1/2 tsp of HV CLO). I am taking 4 ml of the GT, which is equal to 20,000 IU’s of vitamin A. In addition to that, I am also taking 1 tsp of fish oil because this seems like such a small amount of oil. Should I stop the fish oil? My 5 month old also gets 1/2 ml of the GT, with no fish oil. Here is the site: http://www.greenpasture.org/products.

Also in the summer months what should I take when I don’t need the vitamin D? I have been doing 2 tsp of fish oil and taking shark liver oil (now brand), equal to 20,000 IU’s of vitamin A.

Thank you so much!
Carrie

Hi Jo, Tried to follow the link for Mucus membrane Healer but couldn’t. Spud White, Marie’s dad, has just had a huge op for bowel cancer - don’t have any more information yet. I would like to give him that recipe if you have it.

I would stick to the no gluten for some time, Laura, to heal the bowel. Bone broth is one of the most healing things you can eat for the bowel, I’ve seen it do miraculous things for colon issues. So take a cup of bone broth before or with breakfast, keep it in the fridge at school and cook with it. Make long slow casseroles and stews and take with you to school. If there’s no heating facilities at school, kefir is a great alternative. Raw milk Kefir by the glassful. You don’t even need refrigerative facilities. Secondly, to heal the bowel wall and rebuild your probiotic population, Mucus Membrane Healer is a great recipe.

Vitamin A is vital for healing so good quality Cod Liver Oil and High Vitamin Butter Oil for Vitamin D and K will help. These vitamins are only found in animal fat so avoiding such would be an issue. Why would MS sufferers be asked to avoid fat, it is just what the myelin sheath is made from. What are you going to repair with? air? Strange advice.

I would also be considering heavy metal toxicity. Eric Davis has treated a woman in her thirties for mercury poisoning and completely reversed her MS symptoms. She has written a book about it. You can contact Eric here:

I have been reading NOURISHING TRADITIONS and THE FOUR-FOLD PATH TO HEALING and am trying to incorporate these principles into my lifestyle. I found access to raw milk, cheeses, whey, kefir and have made beet kvass, crispy nuts and some of the simpler recipes in NT. I’m very happy with my new way of eating. This is delicious food. I feel good and surprisingly I haven’t gained weight but I do find that it is difficult to incorporate nutrient dense foods into a full-time work schedule. Do you have any suggestions for meals, including breakfast that I can take to work?

I have some other issues. I have MS and live with a weak left leg, fatigue and poor balance. I walk with a cane and still work full-time as a high school teacher. All of the MS diets out there advise you to eat a low-fat diet with limited, if any red meat, low sugar and no gluten or legumes. This seems to contradict the NT way of eating. Any thoughts or advise on this?

My other thing is that I’m on medical leave now, recuperating from colon re-section surgery (cancer). It was successful - no chemo, radiation or anything needed fortunately but I’m still a little weak and I want to feel good about returning to work the first or second week of November. The stomach scarring and the effect on the weak leg is one thing but the healing of the colon is another matter altogether. Any advise on this also?

April, as far as I know, the oils need Vitamin A to be able to be used. Too much oils and not enough Vit A will cause problems. Cod Liver oil has Vit A and D, other fish oils recommended just for their omega 3, dha and epa miss out on a vital link - fat soluble vitamins - which help their assimilation.

Oh, and here’s a good link that describes how fermented dairy survives the digestive acids *better* than probiotic supplements:

I’ve been assuming that fermented veggies have some similar protective mechanism, but I’d love to know more about that.

Wait a minute — overdose on EPA/DHA? Really? Fish oil has about the same amount per serving as fish eggs do, and fish eggs are recommended in the WAPF pregnancy diet, in addition to the cod liver oil. I like the idea of fish eggs better because it’s a whole food in its original form, but was planning to use the fish oil during times when I couldn’t get the fish eggs. Can you tell me more about the overdose possibility? Thanks.
