Termeric,
Boter stond vroeger bekend als anti-reumamiddel. Dat komt door de zogeheten Wulzen-factor in boter. Deze wordt helaas vernietigd door verhitting van boter, de vetoplosbare vitamines blijven wel intact.
Ik moest ook denken aan dit citaat uit het recente artikel van Sally Fallon in antwoord op de beschuldigingen van WAPF-bestuurslid (hopelijk niet snel meer) Kaayla Daniel over de levertraan en boterolie van Green Pasture:
I was introduced to the Green Pasture butter oil when it first came out in about 2003. At that time, I was concerned that I was developing arthritis—this runs in my family, and when I woke up in the morning, my hands would be very achy and stiff. One week on the butter oil and this condition completely disappeared.
Off-topic, maar niet minder relevant is dit citaat van Sally over endometriose en allergieen:
The WAPF recommendation is 1 teaspoon per day high vitamin cod liver oil for a maintenance dose; 2 teaspoons per day for pregnant and lactating women; and higher doses for a short time during periods of stress (
http://www.westonaprice.org/health-topics/cod-liver-oil-basics-and-recommendations/). We have also reported on a South African study in which women with endometriosis had a 92 percent cure rate when given high doses (up to 90,000 IU) of vitamin A daily (D M Lithgow and W M Politzer, “Vitamin A in the Treatment of Menorrhagia,” South African Medical Journal, February 12, 1997, Pages 191-193).. WAPF board member Kim Schuette, CN, reports great success with 1 tablespoon 2-3 times daily for 30-60 days in cases of endometriosis. (But after 60 days, they go back to one-half to a full teaspoon.)
Personally I take 1 teaspoon per day and a second teaspoon in the afternoon when I have a lot of stress or during the pollen season (for me FCLO works like nothing else to alleviate pollen allergies.) I have never taken cod liver oil in tablespoons. I do often tell people that increasing the cod liver oil temporarily can help with stress.
