    Joints and Jogging

    As I said before... if it were only that easy. Also as I said before, most of the cheap oils have been put through a deodorizing and deflavorizing process specifically designed to trick your taste buds. This is a similar process margarine goes through. If margarine didn't undergo those...

    Joints and Jogging

    But that still doesn't answer the question of how you know those omega 3s aren't rancid. It is not enough to simply say "I'm getting enough omega 3s in my diet." If those omega 3s are rancid, they could be (and probably ARE) causing health damaging free radicals in your body. From the book...

    Joints and Jogging

    Is there a non-damaging mechanical means of separating omega 3 fatty acids from the omega 6 fatty acids in the fish oil that I'm not aware of? The whole reason to take omega 3 supplements is to try to level out omega 3 to omega 6 ratios in your intake. If you're raising your omega-3 intake...

    Joints and Jogging

    I honestly don't know anything about the Sams Club brand (assuming that's Member's Mark.) That being said, I would naturally be suspicious of any fish oil from Sam's or Wal-Mart, given their staunch insistence that their vendors make products as cheaply as possible. I say that because it's...

    Joints and Jogging

    That's a great suggestion. If you don't like fishy tasting oil, but also don't like the price of fish oil capsules (they typically cost 4 to 10 times as much per serving) you can try Carlson's Lemon flavored Cod Liver Oil. It has no fishy flavor at all. If you're looking for the highest...

    If she's willing to put in the time, home made broths are one of the best methods for attempting to rebuilt joint tissue. See the recipes section on this page for some good ones: http://www.westonaprice.org/foodfeatures/broth.html Additionally, there are supplements if she's interested...

    Suicide is painless?

    Wow... this entire thread is so personal. I'm still a newb here. I guess I'm not used to the level of comfort everyone here is displaying with each other. This is a real community! I'm so touched by the posts here I can't even begin to describe it. After reading some of the posts in this...

    Cholesterol, saturated fat and politically correct nutrition.

    I'm sorry to hear that... but I'm glad you're doing well enough to spend some time online. Thanks for including me in your replies, as I'm sure there must be dozens of others here waiting to hear from you. I'm only minorly familiar with Page's work. Most of what I've read about cholesterol...

    Cholesterol, saturated fat and politically correct nutrition.

    Seems my thread isn't generating that much interest. This article was just referenced by mercola.com in their most recent newsletter, so I thought I'd post the link and a few important paragraphs here. It's a long article, but if you're really serious about taking control of your own health...

    Trouble with fats

    Heartburn can be caused by many reasons. I'm curious if your friend experiences the pain high in her chest or lower, say midway down her torso. High chest pain is typically associated with low hydrochloric acid production. When we eat, the stomach churns out hydrochloric acid and...

    Cholesterol, saturated fat and politically correct nutrition.

    Miss Vickie, thank you for being courteous in your response. I've actually been regretting my first post considering the uproar my position has caused. It's nice to hear from someone who can respectfully disagree with some points. I don't mind a good debate, but I can't stand the name calling...

    Cholesterol, saturated fat and politically correct nutrition.

    I wanted to start a new thread so we wouldn't have to continue to hijack someone else's thread to keep the discussion going. As I said before, sunshine does not contain vitamin D. I even linked to a site explaining how the body creates vitamin D from sunshine and oils on / in the skin. The...

    Back from the doctor..Depression and me update

    Risible is right. This thread has ventured very far off course. My apologies for being part of that tangent. LoveBHMS, I will pick this up in a new thread. Max.

    Back from the doctor..Depression and me update

    Rather than just telling me I'm horribly misinformed, it would be more beneficial to everyone to explain to me, using references I can look up, how I'm wrong. For example, it would be helpful to explain how one would *naturally* obtain fat soluble vitamins without eating fat. You clearly...

    Back from the doctor..Depression and me update

    If you would care to go into the exact physiological and biological changes that take place in the human body between the time cholesterol and saturated fat is good for us to when it's bad for us, I'd be interested to know about them. I'm not sure how you think I "miss the point" when the...

    Back from the doctor..Depression and me update

    hhmmm.... I had already posted one reply that has yet to make it to the board. Perhaps there has been a blanket "non-approval" status put on my account. If so, you won't see this reply, either... anyway. To answer your question, ANY artificial means of lowering cholesterol production will...

    Back from the doctor..Depression and me update

    I have no motivation except to help people get out from under the heavy, ill informed hand of the drug companies. I also have no medical degree. What I have learned is just what I have taught myself in order to prevent from happening to me what happened to both sets of my grandparents. I...

    Back from the doctor..Depression and me update

    HI Bexy. I'm brand new to the board. Just joined a few minutes and and started browsing around when I found your post. I hope I'm not crossing any lines by making suggestions in my first post... but nutrition and how it relates to the function of the human body is something I've been...
