Bottom Line: Fish Oil really works to prevent artery disease, namely heart disease and strokes. It's not a bogus health food thing, it really works.

You need the EPA and the DHA from the fish. The other omega-3's, 6's etc. aren't the same. Skip the flaxseed, etc. You want enough EPA and DHA, you don't wanna be grossed out by the taste or get a fishy "repeat", and you don't wanna drink a bunch of unnecessary fat.

This stuff is good because: it has the right concentration of EPA/DHA: 1.3 g/teasp, which is high. And it tastes good. Even Nordic Naturals, a very respected company, has a similar EPA/DHA level, but tastes nasty.

Remember these supplements aren't regulated. Go to consumerlabs.com, they test the supplements. This wasn't tested, but Carlson capsules and cod liver oil were tested and passed, so i assume and hope this passes also.

That's all you need to know. If you're 30 or older, and you have high blood pressure and cholesterol like everyone else, take in at least 2 grams of EPA/DHA a day, your arteries will stay clean.

I just wanted to share my experience with Carlson Fish Oil. I have an 11 year old son with Autism. My son's autism was severe, a 9/10 score. He has frequent, violent self injury to his head where would bang his head on the wall or with his fists, several times a day. He had to wear extremely high noise reducing shooting earmuffs so that he could go outside so that noises wouldn't trigger a full meltdown. Not to mention the almost complete lack of social interaction. Before taking Carlson, he was capable of speech, but only would do so if asked a question and prompted multiple times. He never really initiated a conversation.

I started him on this 9 months ago and actually gave him 1 teaspoon once a day at the start, then gradually increased it to 1 tablespoon 2 times a day after about 2 months. The difference has been dramatic.

1. He only wears headphones rarely. Noises do not trigger meltdowns as they used to.

2. He sits down with us in the family room and tells us about the movie he is watching on his IPAD.

3. He plays with his little sister now briefly everyday. He could not be in the same room with her before.

4. His self talk has increased though.

5. He initiates spontaneous brief conversations.

6. His self injury has been reduced dramatically. He only had 2 self injury incidents last month. Down from several times a day.

7. His eye contact has improved as well.

8. Stimming is still present.

So clearly at least for my son, it has improved his socialization and self injury. He still has Autism, but his quality of life has improved. We are even going on a trip now, which was unthinkable before. I seriously hope that they continue to manufacture this product. I highly recommend it.

*****UPDATE January 30, 2013*****

Almost a year after starting my son on Carlson Omega 3, I have noticed improvements aside from the previous ones I had already mentioned.

1. He does not wear headphones anymore. Not at all.

2. For the past 3 days, every time he wakes up, he walks to me and says "Good morning Daddy". No prompting at all. Completely spontaneous. That always brings me to tears.

3. He actually argues with me in the morning about being too lazy to go to school, just like a normal kid. He used to just meltdown and bang on his head in the morning when he knows he has to go to school. He now calmly says "Can I stay home? I feel sleepy."

It is almost as if the fog is starting to lift with him. I will keep noting changes to his behavior. Hopefully, this is permanent and continuous. I can only hope.

*****UPDATE April 22, 2013*****

It is nice to read back on my previous postings and see how far he has improved since the last time I wrote. This is where he is now:

1. He has not had a self injury episode in 45 days!!! No more banging his head with his fists or the wall when he gets frustrated. He now says, "This is frustrating, daddy can you fix it please?"

2. He now has his own room. He still needs to do more to clean up his room though. But the fact that we do not need to watch him all the time anymore is a huge relief for us.

3. He takes a bath with very minimal prompting. No more than a typical 12 year old that is too lazy to take a bath I would assume.

4. He does not hide in a quiet room anymore the whole day. He now spends most of the day sitting with us in the living room watching TV or playing the Wii. He still likes to have some quiet time in his room, but then again, who doesn't?

5. He still talks to himself a lot(scripting), but this time he has learned to whisper most of the time so it does not look out of place as much when we are in public. People used to walk away in fear because he would say things out loud, usually something he watched on TV or Youtube.

6. His stimming is still there, but he is actually more self conscious. When we are outside, I tell him to hold back on his stimming till he gets in the car or when we get home. He has no problem with that. He tries to control himself when we are out, and then he stims to his heart's content when we get home. He is happy with this setup.

7. He has only missed about 2 to 3 days a month of school. He was really ill. Before he would just not go at all and would meltdown if we forced him.

8. The biggest change is his socialization. We rode the Gondola in the Venetian in Vegas, he looked square into the Gondolier's face and requested "Can you please sing something from Sesame Street?" Unfortunately, our Gondolier was really from Italy and she just moved to the US, so she has not been exposed to the english version of Sesame Street. So she asked him " I don't know any songs, can you sing something from Sesame Street, and I will sing with you." To my shock, he started to sing "Rubber ducky your the one, you make bath time lots of fun..." And then we all sang along with him. That was the best time we ever had as a family.

I have conversations with him now. Before I could only ask him one thing before he would ask me to leave. Now, we can actually discuss his health, exercise, food and games. Not for very long, but It is amazing.

Again, though he still has Autism. But slowly he is improving and we are excited to see where he will be in another 4 months. I will keep updating this so you can track his progress.

*******UPDATE June 7, 2013********

I just wanted to update something amazing yesterday. We went Bowling! To most people, the sounds in the Bowling alley are not an issue. I asked him 2 years ago how a Bowling alley sounds to him. He said the word "Explosions". To him, a Bowing alley sounded like a war zone. Needless to say, we never were able to get him back in there until yesterday because of the traumatic experience.

He had so much fun Bowling. When I asked him if the ball I got him was too heavy, he said "The ball is too heavy, can I use a lighter ball?". We was very chatty and we even had dinner in the Bowling alley. For those who live in SOCAL, go to La Habra 300 Bowl. They are used to catering to special needs kids. They even have a ball ramp so that special needs kids can just put the ball on the ramp, and it will roll down and hit the pins. They love it. But he did not use that yesterday. He actually was able to bowl with 2 hands at first, then one-handed when he saw others bowling one-handed.

He then walked up to me last night and said "Thank you for taking me bowling today, Daddy. I had fun." He then went to bed, and I was in tears.

High quality fish oil. Because it's not in pill form you're forced to notice if it's rancid. Very cost effective too.

There's a lot of misconception out there regarding heart disease. Heart disease is primarily caused by oxidized LDL. You get oxidized LDL when your diet is low in stable medium chain triglycerides, and high in PUFA (poly unsaturated fatty acids, like omega3 and omega6). What's worse is when the PUFA is primarily omega 6, which causes inflammation in the body to increase and LDL to become small/dense which is more likely to oxidize.

You could have low total LDL, but have high oxLDL and still get heart disease. Conversely, you could have high total LDL but have low oxLDL and live to be 100. The cholesterol hypothesis is based on the work of Ancel Keys's 7 countries study in which he correlated *all* fat with heart disease in 7 countries. That's really it. And there were actually way more countries, but it didn't fit Keys's theory so he dropped him. No true scientist does this. For example, France and Nordic countries have low heart disease, but high fat intake (including saturated). Chile has low fat but high rates of heart disease.

Getting to a 1:1 omega 3 to omega 6 ratio is key to reducing inflammation and preventing chronic diseases. But too much PUFA including omega3 is also bad. I would recommend reducing your omega 6 intake (industrialized seed oils, vegetable oils) and supplement about a tablespoon of this stuff daily. Get your fats from medium chain triglycerides (cream, coconuts, lard). This is in conflict with public dietary advice, but not with the science.

To those trying to lower triglycerides, lower your fructose intake and improve insulin sensitivity through exercise. Fish oil isn't going to cure the effects of 36 oz soda/day.

Fish oil capsules cause me to have fish oil after-burps (yuck!), which make me avoid taking fish oil at all. I prefer Carlson's fish oil, but only because I learned the trick of how to swallow a teaspoon of it without gagging.

Have a glass of water or juice handy. Measure out your teaspoon of oil in a tablespoon sized spoon, so you have less chance of spilling it. Take the teaspoon of fish oil in to your mouth,let it gather under your tongue, but do not swallow it until you take your glass of water and wash it down. I take the fish oil before I eat breakfast. No fish burps later. You can do it. It is worth it.

The lemon flavor only partially masks the fishiness of the oil, but it is better than pure fish smell. I think Carlson's fish oil is an excellent product, pure and fresh.

This stuff is so good that I use it to make an absolutely delicious lemon vinaigrette for salads. I use half olive oil, half lemon fish oil, and fresh squeezed lemon juice (instead of vinegar). Other seasonings I like to add are dijon mustard, garlic, ginger, black pepper, and sea salt. This is the main way I take my fish oil as a salad dressing! Their lemon flavored cod liver oil is excellent, too. I use it in the winter for extra vitamin D.

Ok, so obviously virginity soap is marketed to Eastern women. In the East virginity is still something to be valued (that is not to say that the are not any women who value it in the west). I first discovered yoko in Egypt. The brand is Thai but this soap is manufactured in China. It does list the ingredients in English. I used it before and it does leave you feeling clean and fresh. As far as any tightening effect, I honesty have not done a before and after to have an opinion. I would doubt it because it is just soap and I am assuming they use that for marketing. If it contained aluminum then that's different. It doesn't have a remarkable scent and the quantity is small compared to the price. It lasts maybe better than summers eve because its not liquid.

I went to a health food store and asked the manager for advice on something to get rid, or lessen, my hot flashes. She recommended Barlean's Essential Woman. The second day I took the daily dose I felt a difference. My hot flashes were not as frequent. By the fourth day they were completely gone!!! I continued using the product for about four months and stopped thinking I did not need it. But after about two months my hot flashes came back. I started back on Barlean's and this time it took about two months for my hot flashes to completely go away. Now I know better. I'm on the monthly auto-pay and ship with Amazon (the price has been cheaper then in my local health or WholeFoods store). This product has been the only thing that gets rid of those horrible hot flashes quickly (wasted money on Black Cohosh Root) . I can not live without it during this period in my life. I hope it does the same for others.

Loaded with key fish oils and nutrients crucial to hormonal regulation, Barlean's "The Essential Woman Oil" should be an essential element of every woman's diet. The unflavored version of the oil is not unpleasant tasting at all, that is if you like a nutty flavor similar to that of roasted sunflower seeds. Barlean's is also a great oil to use as a dressing for salads but not for cooking as you will burnout all of its nutrients.

My Own Testimony:

Having a tumultuous cycle, complements of fibroids, my doc suggested I supplement my diet with Barleans Essential Woman the original flavor. Since I have been taking it my fibroids shrunk and I have even noticed that my hair has been looking fuller and shinier. This is a supplement you need to be consistent with because of its nutritional value and its effects on hormonal regulation. I missed a couple of days usage of the oil and I will say that I was happy when my new supply arrived it provides instant relief of what may ail a woman!

This oil is a definite must!

I ordered this from the amazon seller sheaandmoredepot. I was very pleased with the shipping time and the product itself. I would have given this 5 stars except for the product did not come in a plastic tub or jar it came in a ziplock bag. That's just a little inconvenient. I suppose it may work for some but I wish this was expressed in the details. But I would definitely purchase again, might use one of my old cocoa butter tubs and put it in there. Product was smooth when rubbed into skin. It was not grainy or gritty. I'm 7 months pregnant and I love shea and cocoa butter but most that I found locally are all mixed with a whole bunch of nonsense so getting the unrefined raw version was a necessity for me. My skin has been very sensitive (A bandaid worn for one day gave me dry patches!!) so to have this natural product just a click away is a great relief. :)

Rich, creamy, smooth shea butter!!! Good quality REAL ivory shea from NATURAL-COSMETICS, but my only disappointment was that it was sent in a plastic bag! Messy, but I'm thankful it wasn't hot out when it was delivered! For people wondering the difference, "ivory" shea butter is real, unrefined shea butter. The yellow is African butter, but still very moisturizing. "White" is refined/unscented. Shea butter has a comedogenic (pore clogging) rating of "0" so won't clog your pores. This makes it an AMAZING rich, safe moisturizer for your skin! I've just started using it for my face, and I can say this past week, my skin has been brighter, more supple, and even my sebum production in my T-zone has significantly lowered. I am so OVER paying for over-priced lotions... hooray for shea! Oh, and by the way, APPRECIATE our African sisters who make this -it's tough work! Here's a you-tube video that's been broadcast in Mali to help educate women on how to make better shea:

This shea butter is good, it is still a little grainy but much easier to apply than the yellow stuff you find in the beauty supply store. It also is less "crumbly" and has a nutty scent which I don't mind at all. I would have given this 5 stars, but I agree with the other reviewer that said the ziplog bag is a drag. You receive the item in a large ziplock bag. It's hard to use all the product without wasting some in the bag and it's clumsy to move around. I found an old tub of hair moisturizer, washed it out, melted the shea butter down and poured it in the old container.

If you got the yellow butter, then you got kpangnan butter (from the kpangnan tree), which is another tree from the African rainforest. It is very similar to shea butter (from the shea tree) and has fantastic results on skin, just like shea.

It is characterized, among other things, by its yellow-ish colour. Because kpangnan is not widely known, it is often, mislabelled as shea. I've often encountered this. However, it is a great skin product as well. Shoulder to shoulder with shea.

I learned about this product while doing research for a friend that had just come back from Africa and kept raving about the yellow shea butter :) She now knows it's not shea, but it's a great skin product under any name and she loves it! She has tried shea as well and favours this one. I have used it myself and was not disappointed.

I just don't understand why they don't write the proper name on the butter. It's as if they think North americans only understand shea and nothing else.

While we are at it, another great skin product out of Africa is baobab oil. Another great find for me :) Amazon carries this as well, great job, amazon.

Love this. When I first smelled it, I was afraid it was a bit too perfumy, almost nauseating. But that was when I was soaking a washcloth in it and then letting it dry (we do that instead of dryer sheets, then use the washcloth in the dryer for 30 or so cycles before we soak it again). But on dried clothes, it is perfect. Smells so nice without being overly fake and cheap smelling, as some softeners do. We do the method I mentioned to keep costs down, so this bottle lasts us months and months. Love it, will definitely keep buying it.
