Actually I just found out two days ago, the Agave Nectar sold only in health stores is way better than honey because it doesn't affect your blood sugar like honey does and it's also from the Cactus Plant.
And here's another interesting tidbit I just read:
ULTIMATE SKIN CARE
Cod liver oil mixed with zinc oxide is better for the skin than any of the prescription medications, and safer."...
(I wouldn't try it, but here's more)......
My grandmother would have been close to 90 yrs old if she were still alive. Years ago she told us that cod liver oil was an old southern remedy for many things including a continuing dry cough. Years later what she said would come back to haunt me. At the age of 4 my daughter developed a bad case of pneumonia. As the years progressed she kept getting it. I finally remembered what granny said about the cough. My daughter has not had pneumonia for 4 years now because the minute the weather turns cold I give her cod liver oil. The cod oil hepls to lubricate her cough when she gets a head cold and it also reduces the coughing. Cough syrups and OTC meds only induce her coughing spells. Now she doesn't even get as many head colds and all I have to do is make sure she stays hydrated and give her the oil after a meal. The doctors told me whatever I'm doing just keep doing it.
Cod liver oil capsules (pills) along with apple cider vinegar capsules have helped me to lose 25 lbs, clear up my skin, and my hair is just alot healthier and shinier! I see alot of questions, and Im gonna try to answer them!! lol. I take 6 cod liver oil capsules a day, and 9 apple cider vinegar capsules daily as well. Theyre all natural, and safe. Dont worry, u cant overdose!! I find that together, theyre awesome in losing weight.. NOT saying eat like a pig, but just normal sized portions, and say bye bye to fat, acne, dry hair, brittle nails, heartburn, (thats right),angina pain (heart),arthritic pains, helps heal ulcers and other stomach problems, blackheads,and theyre great during pregnancy! My 4 kids were healthier than any others, so far!! lol!! I did my best trying to post at least 1 answer on this site! (its not my site, so not sure what else to say) Take care all!! see u soon!

A couple of weeks ago I started taking a teaspoon of cod liver oil, because i was feeling really bloated. As a child, this was my mother's detoxifying remedy. What is important to know, is around this same time I was experiencing this lazy feeling, heavy anxiety, tired all of the time, foggy memory, low energy, a lot of sadness and no hope. Well of these symptoms were signs of my depression re-surfacing, this time around it was pretty bad and only getting worse in the last 4 months. Of course I tried fighting the depression off by using a combination of natural treatments and vitamins, this did not provide me with any significant results. The level of anxiety I had also increased, especially knowing that I would have to make a trip to my family doctor to get a prescription to ease the depression. This is the last thing I wanted to do considering that I managed to stay away from antidepressants for at least 3 years. The side effects of the different drugs I tried were too harsh for me, they all made me feel horrible. Fast forwarding to this present date from two weeks ago. I feel really good, I feel energetic, my mood has stabilized, my memory is slightly better, I don't feel bogged down by my dyslexia. Other people around me have noticed the changes. I desperately wanted to figure out what happened, because the only time I have showed some significant improvement is when I travel to the Caribbean, which is what I have done several times in the past three years during the winter months. In my search to find out what is the source for all of these improvement, I realized the only change I had made to my diet, was the cod liver oil I was taking every day. I immediately did a search on the net to look up the properties of cod liver. To my complete surprise, I found countless articles of cod liver being a natural cure for depression. I can not believe this stuff is working for me, for the first time in at least 10 years, I feel like I have just gotten my life back again. I know that sounds silly, but it is so true, it feels so surreal!
Just TAKE it!!
I am of Norwegian/Swedish descent - my Grandmother (mothers side) was from Norway and my father from Sweden -- and I will now tell you my personal experience with CLO...
Have been taking it since I was only a few weeks old -- even to this very day (in liquid form - a little swig right from the bottle followed by my orange juice) -- and I can tell you honestly what a difference it has made in my life -- everyone tells me how young I look, seldom get sick, stay slender, full head of blond hair (only lately getting some white mixed in) at age 53, healthy teeth and nails, etc. ALSO, my mother had 5 sisters and 1 brother -- one died at 97, another at 94, my mother at 91, my uncle at 87, one of my aunts is 83 and still drives her car -- and they ALL took cod liver oil when they were young -- it was the Norwegian thing to do!! My father died at 91 -- full head of hair, no false teeth, hardly ever sick.
Need I say more??
I found a copy of this from one of my groups, and it's taken from an article on Cod Liver Oil at the Weston A. Price Organization at:
Weston A. Price Foundation, somewhere in the articles.
I really don't have time to pin it down, just sharing this info.
