Oh boy, I hate to hear that about the Cod Liver Oil. I'm actually taking it to thin my blood as I had Deep Vein Thrombosis 2 weeks postpartum and need an alternative to the blood thinning medicine. Cod Liver Oil has been working well for that. What to do?!? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
BTW, when I was in the hospital for the DVT, the hospitalists decide to have a Vena Cava Filter inserted in order to prevent a pulmonary embolism . Later, my OHSU hemotogist shook her head and sighed and said to have it removed - it should never have been put in in the first place! I did have it removed, but the damage was already done. I was actually experiencing electrical impulses in my chest while the filter was in and something during the time of those two surgeries and having the filter in did some kind of damage that triggered all of this trouble I've been having. I never did like having that metal filter in my body. I wonder if it caused something OR it could have been the surgery that overloaded my system with Manganese from the contrast agents..... Oh, brother! I despise our disjointed medical system!

Bex, I do want to feel better so will try to further improve my diet. Thank you again for the advice. I'm just soaking all of this new information in and trying to process it all. I *am* excited to be getting some answers - finally!!
