I am writing for myself and my family with all the changes which have taken place after the consumption of high-vitamin
                   butter oil and cod liver oil and all good fats. First, I was deeply ill, with many local doctors diagnosing me with severe
                   depression and anxiety. I was unable to sleep, digest or eliminate foods in a healthy way; I could not work or take care
                   of myself at all. I was unable to do simple tasks like do the wash or button a shirt, for my coordination was impaired. I
                   would trip often and could not finish a thought or sentence. I was severely paranoid of all things and people. With many
                   medicines, my symptoms became even more severe and intense. I was scared to death, along with my family! I became
                   very suicidal. I should explain that previously I was in the hair salon business and was quite successful, but using many
                   chemicals all day long, five days a week. My diet was filled with wrong foods. I was taking care of a very sick family
                   member daily. Thanks to Dr. Roy Ozanne I learned about good fats and fermented foods. With his help I eliminated all
                   sugars, caffeine, alcohol, white flour, etc., but more importantly, I added cod liver oil and butter oil. Over the course of
                   two years, my body healed itself. I am now able to communicate with all, I am motivated, and I am back to work (not in
                   the hair business!). My children on this diet report that they are able to focus much better than they used to. LMP

                   In our clinic we’ve used Premier Natural Cod liver oil for about five or six years with great success. Our babies born to
                   patients of the clinic in many cases have facial structures Weston Price found in his travels of traditional cultures. They have
                   broad jaws, ears with unattached, slightly enlongated lobes, and have great emotional dispositions. Many sleep through
                   the night at a fairly early age, and developmentally are either early or right on target. Many parents have reported that
                   their children do well academically and conditions such as allergies, behavioral disorders are markedly absent in these
                   children. All our patients take two capsules pre-pregnancy and continue this during pregnancy and during lactation along
                   with a diet that includes Chinese medical theories and Weston A. Price principles. In addition, half of those patients also
                   take butter oil pre-pregnancy and during pregnancy and lactation. Adult patients with anxiety or depressive disorders do
                   extremely well with our treatments which, of course, include cod liver oil. Dagmar Ehling , MAc, LAc, DOM(NM), Dipl

                   I have had chronic fatigue syndrome for over seventeen years. At first, when I took the fermented cod liver oil, it gave me
                   a headache so I stopped taking it. After I had the flu awhile back, I was left with a symptom where I could not lie down
                   without feeling like I was smothering, even though I could breathe fine. This was accompanied by deep anxiety. The doc-
                   tor suggested I had a classic symptom of congestive heart failure and suggested an angiogram, but that wasn’t really an
                   option for me because I have terrible reactions to drugs. Meanwhile, I found out I had low vitamin D levels (I live north
                   of Seattle, WA) and learned that low vitamin D can cause heart problems. I started taking vitamin D  and it helped a bit
                                                                                                      3
                   but I kept needing more to keep the awful smothering symptom away. I was up to 6,000 IU per day of D  but kept feel-
                                                                                                          3
                   ing colder and colder and sleeping more fitfully. Finally, I got to the point where I didn’t sleep all night and I knew it was
                   the vitamin D keeping me awake. Fortunately, I had just bought some raw Jersey milk for my husband—not for myself
                   because I thought milk didn’t agree with me, but I tasted his and decided to have a glass of my own because it was so
                   good. It calmed my nerves and I was able to sleep. Then I decided to try taking the fermented cod liver oil again because
                   I knew I needed to get vitamin D somehow. The first dose did give me a headache for a short time, but I felt some well
                   being afterwards. So for the past nine days I’ve been drinking three glasses of raw milk per day with no digestive upset and
                   taking one to one and one-half teaspoons fermented cod liver oil daily. Pain and inflammation seem to be subsiding, my
                   energy is improving, the constant feeling of heat and pressure in my head is gone, and I am so amazed and grateful that
                   the awful smothering feeling is quickly becoming a bad memory. As an added bonus, I no longer feel bothered at all by
                   the gray Pacific Northwest winter days. Given the improvement I have experienced in just a few days, I’m looking forward
                   to seeing what happens as this winter progresses and I keep taking cod liver oil and drinking raw creamy milk! JI

                   Finally my vitamin D test results are back, and my vitamin D level has risen from 39 to 46 after taking two bottles of the
                   fermented cod liver oil. Previously I had taken the regular high-vitamin cod liver oil for a year and my vitamin D level
                   stayed at 39 before and after. SH

                   I come from a family that suffers from arthritis so was concerned when I developed stiff hands and knees in my mid for-
                   ties. Several months after taking high-vitamin cod liver oil and high-vitamin butter oil, the stiffness disappeared, never to
                   return. SM

                   Since taking fermented cod liver oil, my libido has returned (after three years’ absence), and my periods are not painful
                   now. My hands no longer ache as they did and my skin is clearer. My daughter’s fungal rash went away within a couple
                   of weeks after she began taking it. LM
