Kris's comment:
Unfortunately cod liver oil from our previously trusted companies is being
converted to commercial processed products that is not what we want. FCLO
is more expensive, but you don't need to take as much. Like many other
fermented products such as sauerkraut, the nutritional value is enhanced. In
fact it seems to be much more effective in raising vitamin D levels in the body,
and you're also getting many other nutrients (see
below). For more information here's Green Pastures' website http://www.greenpasture.org/retail/?t=products.
The farmer, Dave Wetzel, was at the WAPF chapter conference up in Michigan that I went
to recently. It was quite a project for him to figure out how to ferment the CLO
in the old traditional way. He said that he has to get the cod livers from
Russia, frozen and flown in by air. Believe me, you can't get anything like it
in Toledo. Most CLOs are highly processed and not nearly as nourishing.
More details on FCLO from Dave Wetzel http://www.gpawholefoods.com.au/page.html?id=27 and more here also http://kellythekitchenkop.com/2009/09/dave-wetzel-fermented-cod-liver-oil.html

Here's a way to test your own vitamin D levels http://www.zrtlab.com/vitamindcouncil/
There is a little tingle in your throat when you take it - hence the various
flavors, but I found the Flavor Free was very mild.
Here's what chapter leader Maureen has to say about that:
"Aim the stream of FCLO towards the back of the tongue where you do not
have taste buds, and follow it swiftly with a big gulp of milk. This
takes care of it for us." The FCLO comes with an eye dropper to measure
with.
I tried the Fruit Attack gel and found that it coated my mouth in an unpleasant fashion, so now I scoop a blob of a spoon and immediately swallow it down with water before it has much chance to leave a coating. On the other hand Lisa likes the chocolate cream gel and just lets it melt in her mouth.
Here's a comment from a WAPF chapter leader in Australia on her positive experience with FCLO:
My three year old and myself have been using GP's fermented CLO now for over 6 months
and we love it. I actually prefer the taste to the plain CLO and so does my daughter, we
have it straight up. As far as benefits go, well I don't know what to say except neither of us
ever get sick and my daughter is the strongest brightest 3 year old I've ever known and she
stands out more and more as she grows.
Cathy, Australia.
Here another comment from a chapter leader:
I much prefer the taste of the new fermented CLO that Dave is
producing; you also need to take a lot less to get the same amount of A and
D so it is much more cost effective than the Blue Ice Gold. Additionally,
there are so many other components in the fermented version that the regular
did not have; things that we haven't even fully explored yet. We do know
that it contains 700-1600% more quinones than the regular CLO. Quinones
include vitamin K's, E's, CoQ enzymes and much more.

Recipes from their customers
Canned beef from C/J Natural Meats
I highly recommend the canned meat if you've never tried it. It's very convenient and so tasty. I put cumin, chili powder, salt, fresh garlic and half a lime (squeezed first) then bring to a simmer. Add cheese, onion, guacamole, tomatoes, peppers, cilantro (whatever your preference) to a flour or corn tortilla....great! Takes minutes!!

Other suggestions: custard, quiche, souffle, French
toast, cream soups,
Blender pancakes, and
"spoon bread" and milk shakes made with unsweetened cocoa powder,
stevia and a little agave (I like it even when milk is starting to turn sour,
and berry shakes are good with kefir.
