Comment on What’s the Deal with Kefir? by Tricia

Tricia — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 00:11:52 +0000

Before paleo, I suffered periodically from flare ups of diverticulitis. After taking antibiotics for the first couple incidents, I decided to try to treat it with probiotics —- primarily drinking kefir 3 times a day. Worked like a charm for me.

I don’t care for the unsweetened stuff, so I quit drinking it when I went paleo.

This may not be the best place to inquire about this, but I’m looking for a pest management business within the pittsburgh region and have no method to find out who’s the most effective. I located this company which is actually close to me and wished to see if any one has any assessments on them. Spectrum Pest Control, 3058 West Liberty Avenue, Dormont, PA 15216 – (412) 446-2802

I have been fighting off docs trying to put me on statins for over a year. Two things happened. I agreed to pay for a carotid scan to see if I have plaque. 52 years old and none! That shut that doc up. 2nd doc took my values, plugged them into a formula and computed my risk for heart attack at 3%! No need for drugs! I never admitted my daily egg consumption because I think they both would have freaked. Stop poppIng pills, eat clean, lift heavy and advocate for yourself.

Don,

I highly recommend just going with 2 pills per day unless you are trying to treat a specific health condition (like high triglycerides for example). If they are willing to adjust the auto-ship to be every 90 days then that is perfect.

Julian,

I am actually not a fan. If you click on the Omega 3 link, you will see a chart where they compare Omega 3 to several other fish oils (including Nordic Naturals, Carlsons, and NOW). It is far superior to the NOW product.

Thanks for the info, I may try it. However, I was confused on their website because the bottle supposedly contains a 90 day supply when taken per instructions, but to get a better price you need to buy it on a 30 day refill subscription. I contacted them and this is what they said:

“Athletic Greens Fish oil has 180 soft gel capsules. It is recommended that you take 2 soft gels per DAY.

However, if your aim is MAINTENANCE of EPA/DHA , you can take 2 soft gel capsules every after meal, so that’s 6 soft gel capsules everyday. With 2 soft gel capsules every after meal you can consume 1 bottle of 180 Omega3 soft gel capsules in 30 days.

Whichever is your plan, you can notify us and we will be glad to help you adjust the subscription cycle.”

I’m glad they are willing to modify the subscription, but find the serving size confusing. (Should I be taking 2 / day or 6 / day? Does 2 / day NOT maintain my EPA/DHA?) And of course the cost factor changes substantially if you’re going through a bottle in 30 days vs 90 days.
