Comments on: Valuing the Nutritional Wisdom of Past Generations http://www.keeperofthehome.org/2010/01/valuing-the-wisdom-of-past-generations.html Naturally inspired living for the Christian homemaker Thu, 09 Feb 2012 20:49:19 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Christinahttp://www.keeperofthehome.org/2010/01/valuing-the-wisdom-of-past-generations.html/comment-page-1#comment-59201 Christina Thu, 28 Apr 2011 19:30:56 +0000 http://www.keeperofthehome.org/?p=2464#comment-59201 My grandpa was so excited when he found out we were giving Eowyn (my toddler) CLO; "my mom used to make me take that! She said it was good for my brain." Seeing as he's a nuclear chemist now, a retired professor from a big university, I'd say it worked pretty well. :) And my daughter loves the stuff. I'm guessing it's an acquired taste; she's tolerated it just fine from 4 months (straight unflavored liquid). She may have even gotten some of the taste through breast milk or amniotic fluid before that, now that I think of it. But it seems that all my friends who started their kids on it young have no problem getting them to down it now!

We started taking CLO this year, on the advice of our homeopath. We got a lemon flavoured one....the kids actually like taking it. Our youngest, who gags on everything from strawberries to macaroni even has no problem taking it. Another Newfoundlander here too....well....a recent transplant to NL from Ontario.

She was always such a scrawny thing that my grandparents didn't want her getitng sick. She also had to take blackstrap molasses each day -- whick I'm told was chock full of iron. We don't take CLO right now, but have in the past. I would take the capsule, but my children wanted it squirt into a spoon.

There is the argument made that grassfed animals consume grass which makes it healthy and yet vegetables are considered trivial. There are so many bloggers that I have seen shunning the nutritious value of vegetables over meat and dairy. To me, this diet is merely answering the wishes of individuals who are addicted to meat and dairy since it is predominantly based on those types of foods.

The best price that I have found it is from Azure Standard Coop, if you live somewhere that Azure delivers to. Otherwise, it's cheapest if you buy it in larger quantities at once (perhaps go in on it with other people?). Otherwise, Carlson CLO is quite good too, and Vitacost.com is probably the best prices that I know of. @Susanna, We've begun buying Green Pastures, which is an excellent, high-quality CLO.

Currently, we're going with an unfiltered/unprocessed one that is fermented. It's called Green Pastures. A bit pricey, but supposed to be really good, and to have the correct ratio of Vit A: Vit D. @Nola, I know, there's so much different information out there.

It also contains all those good fats found in most fish oils, like Omega 3's (DHA, EPA). @Ashley, Cod liver oil has really good Vitamin A and D in it, both of which most North Americans do not get enough of and which are very crucial fat soluble vitamins.
