Skate liver oil... Skates are members of the same family as Ratfish and Shark
Tue, 2009-09-08 13:50 — daveSkates are members of the same family of fish as Ratfish and Sharks. They are bottom feeders and found in all oceans of the world. There is limited fishing of this fish as the market for their meat is limited to just a few cultures.
Skate livers are very large and produce a very deep orange pigmented oil. I knew little of this fish species but was told by an old Russian fisherman that i needed to make this oil. He spoke broken English so the conversation on the subject was short and to the point.
Feed Back From Diane,CA Children on the spectrum
Wed, 2009-09-02 12:48 — daveHi -the fclo is working great for our kids on the spectrum. This is the first CLOthat has been without side effects - no stims or tics. Dr. McBride says that is because it does not create free radicals in our kids' bodies. Also after six weeks of nightly enemas with bifidus added into the h20 for chronic constipation with my son we began giving the fruit attack fclo with 2 oz of fresh pressed carrot juice sweetened with one apple as indicated in the GAPS book/site- Matt is stooling, formed twice a day now - wow. Thanks for your great product.
Take care. Diane CA
Lactic acid in Fermented CLO
Fri, 2009-08-21 13:29 — daveThere is a good supply of lactic acid in FCLO. this is why some note a tingle on the throat when taking the FCLO.
About 20% of customers struggle with this. if so then please consider the following:
1. take capsules
2. soon there will be gummy fish available
3. the fruit attack flavor has the least acidic feel
4. blend with warm water or warm tea
lactic acid is healthful. i could take this out with carbon filtering but carbon filters destroy many nutrients.
Refrigerate or not to refrigerate, that is the question
Wed, 2009-08-05 16:51 — daveMany call on this topic.
Fermented clo products: The oil is very stable. In my opinion many can store OPENED jars either way. If you use the fclo regularly (within a few months) you can opt to leave in a cupboard after opening.
We do not overly process the oils so some lots tend to become thicker as the storage temps get colder. I have seen some really cold refrigerators make a fclo almost Gel.
Converting DV/RDA to IU's

Fri, 2009-07-10 16:18 — davePrevious blogs have addressed the question, but i guess they are old posts and no longer active.
Yes, We test every batch of product. This is not only a good practive but it is mandated by law. Each Batch is tested several times and by several labs. Our batchs are very small compared to all other industrialized clo's.
We exceed WHO testing standards for PCB's/hg ect... WHO standards are 20 times more restrictive than US standards.
Peroxide value
Wed, 2009-05-27 15:01 — daveThe most recent test on the fermented clo peroxide value came in at .4. This is a typical reading.
The Peroxide value of an oil is used as a measurement of the extent to which rancidity reactions have occurred during storage/processing. Other methods are available but peroxide value is the most widely used.
A great oil is under 1 peroxide value, a good oil is under 10 peroxide value and I would question oils above 10 or 15 peroxide value.
