Over the decades there have been many different things said about cod liver oil, and whether we should be taking it. It used to be a standard supplement for children and pregnant woman, before falling out of favour. It is interesting to note that both Vitamin A and Vitamin D are needed for reproductive health, and infertility is now quite common. It’s certainly not the whole reason, but it seems likely that it’s part of the picture. In Dec 08, some findings by the Vitamin D council have made this even more contentious. The Weston A Price foundation defended cod liver oil, while Dr Mercola has revised his recommendations and told people not to take it. Below is Sally Fallon’s article addressing his concerns, but first, here’s my thoughts. Even the best of foods isn’t good for everybody, and there will be some people who it isn’t beneficial for at certain times.



I often use kinesiology and muscle test my clients to see whether specific supplements are good for them, including CLO, so you could find a kinesiologist in your area who can test what you need. Otherwise, have a think about where your vitamin A and D are coming from. Unless you’re eating a lot of liver butter or seafood, it’s probably beneficial. But personally, I prefer to get my vitamins from food, so would choose nutrient dense whole foods, including cod liver oil, and ditch the multi-vitamins. Unless, of course, you are taking Vitamin A or D under medical supervision. If you choose to take cod liver oil, the other thing to take into account is that modern processing has ruined a perfectly good food for us, and almost all cod liver oils now have only synthetic vitamins in them. To my knowledge, the only cod liver oil that still has natural vitamin A and vitamin D is the Green Pastures fermented cod liver oil and skate liver oil range.



Dave Wetzel, the owner of Green Pastures, has written an article about how the fermented range came about, and the benefits of this traditional food. So now, scroll down to read about the benefits of cod liver oil in general. Dave’s article and two others on Cod Liver Oil appeared in Wise Traditions in Food, Farming and the Healing Arts, the quarterly magazine of the Weston A. Price Foundation, Spring 2009. A pdf containing these three articles can be downloaded here. The warning accompanies a report on a review article co-authored by Dr. John Cannell, head of the Vitamin D Council, and fifteen other researchers, entitled "Cod Liver Oil, Vitamin A Toxicity, Frequent Respiratory Infections, and the Vitamin D Deficiency Epidemic" in the November issue of Annals of Otology, Rhinology and Laryngology. Most of this paper is a review of studies showing the benefits of vitamin D in protecting against various illnesses, including respiratory infection.
