GROUP BUYS
As a Cumming Harvest member you get to take advantage of our group buys….products offered to you at a discounted price. One of our frequent group buys is Cod Liver oil. We get our CLO from Green Pastures, a company who is recommended by the Weston Price Foundation.
If you have shied away from CLO in the past because of the unpleasant taste give Green Pastures a try. They have done a great job of disguising the taste of CLO, with many flavors to choose from like cinnamon, chocolate and mint. Plus you would be taking advantage of the many, many benefits…too many to name all here, but here are some highlights….
Benefits of COD LIVER OIL
Cod liver oil greatly improves heart function to prevent heart disease. Weston Price noted that heart attack deaths increased during periods when the vitamin A content of the diet was low. Cod liver oil can provide vitamin A on a continuous basis throughout the year. Cod liver oil has lowered blood pressure induced by stress-elevated levels of cortisol. Vitamin D in cod liver oil promotes absorption of calcium and magnesium, thereby lowering blood pressure.
In numerous studies, omega-3 fats found in cod liver oil have been shown to improve brain function, memory, stress response, immune response, allergies, asthma, learning and behavioral disorders, including bipolar syndrome and manic-depression.
Cod liver oil is most famous for contributing to bone health, Osteoporosis responds to vitamin D and to cod liver oil. Cod liver oil is effective in treating arthritis as well reducing both pain and damage in inflamed joints. Topically applied, cod liver oil contributes to faster wound healing and improvement in skin quality. An excellent treatment for diaper rash and other skin conditions is cod liver oil mixed with zinc oxide. And cod liver oil taken orally helps maintain soft skin and minimize wrinkles.
And what about cancer? All the nutrients in cod liver oil help prevent cancer. Vitamin A has been part of every successful alternative cancer therapy so far. In a study of Norwegian men and women, consumption of cod liver oil was found to protect against lung cancer.
Evidence is accumulating that these diseases of civilization are the result of high levels of omega-6 fatty acids and low levels of omega-3 fatty acids along with deficiencies of fat-soluble vitamins. We may be paying a very high price for our rejection of parental wisdom to take our cod liver oil.
