carni 10,094 Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 In 1969, I was about to have a Home Birth. On instructions from my Midwife, I had to drink a glass of Caster Oil and Orange Juice. The orange floated on top of the oil. I have never drunk anything so horrible in my life. It worked on two counts, one was the ease of delivery, I will let you think about the other! 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mercurydancer 1,104 Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 Cod liver oil has proved its value with most modern research. Nowadays we dress it up in names like Omega 3 oils but it remains as good for you ( and with malt) as it has ever been, and given the times of the 1950s and 60s, it may have been a very important provider of vitamin A and D. Both are very important, but vitamin A is crucial. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

carni 10,094 Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 We have taken a 1000mg Cod Liver Oil Capsule daily for at least twenty years. No idea if it is making any difference. I still can't get up if I kneel down. Lol Aren't Cod Liver Or Fish oils taken for entirely different things than Caster Oil? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,328 Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 All this talk of fish oil has brought back a very recent and unhappy memory. I was rummaging around in the freeezer this morning when I chanced upon a couple of kippers. I bougth them about 6 or 7 months ago from the scavenge bin in Tescos. When cooked they were a little tough and a bit on the rank side. However, undaunted I tucked in. Just been to the loo for what may well be the first of many times tonight!
