Before, I thought that fish oil is better than krill oil but my perception changed after I watched this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj-ZnG3NoZY The benefits of krill oil were clearly stated here. And after few days, I bought my own krill oil supplement. And now, I’ve been getting positive results with my health. :)

I might be talking through a whole in my head but I too had a lot of weird health issues that doctors noticed but they couldn’t tell me what was wrong. I ended up going on an elinimation diet through my own bat and ended up finding that I had an intollerence to most fruit and veges and all herbs except garlic. Once i cut those things out of my diet and gave my body a rest for almost 6 months I was able to go and get a homeopathic remedy for this intolerance that after 1 more month was able to re-introduce these foods into my diet. I go well for about 6 months then I need to cut back agin for 1 month and all is well. Stress also is a no goer for me, as soon as I get stressed my food intollerances are back and with that I get very worried about my health to a point that I can really freek out my heart rate rises my arms and legs get very weak and i get incredably tied. I need my husband to keep me on track with me telling him all my symptoms so that he can remind me that this has happened before and that I will get a little worse before I get better. It is hard work and I can get very scared while going through it. The book Performance without pain has been a life saver and always eating the NT way ( I couldn’t go near Keifer or cod liver oil for such a long time like Katherine couldn’t go near some foods. just because it is NT doesn’t mean you can go near it yet). I don’t want to speak anything over you but will say that this journey has taken me 3 1/2 years to work through but I have more good days per year than bad, a lot more good days. Just never give up, always believe, and don’t rush, there is always so many good things to learn on the way and with a new baby on the way you are filling your life with so much wisdom to past on. Stay strong

I am just wondering why you do not recommend fish oil under any circumstances? I personally think krill oil is way better then fish oil. I still question your stance on fish oil? It seems if you get a good quality product it would be a good way to increase your omega 3 levels. CLO is actually fish oil just has higher levels of Vitamin D and Vitamin A. CLO is great in winter months or if you are afraid of the sun like so many of us? To Learn More About Omega 3 -> Krill Oil

This man’s question is so compelling. Jonathan, I can feel your deep love and concern for your wife just in your letter. You are very observant and caring–surely you are under a lot of stress as well so as Sally says do take good care of yourself too. Your wife and baby will need you.

I can relate to some of your wife’s pain, fatigue and emotional issues but to a much lesser degree. I am an herbalist because herbal medicine, done well, helped me so much that I decided it was my calling to help others with it. I practice herbal medicine in a similar way to how a homeopathic doctor works, with very specific remedies. I would advise you to see an herbalist or homeopath if possible. A good practitioner in these areas will give remedies that fit your wife’s overall physical and emotional health picture. Also, a good herb or homeopathic remedy should start working quickly–not that all these problems can be cured at once, but some relief should be noticed almost immediately if you’re on the right path.

Look for an herbalist or homeopath who is knowledgeable about traditional foods and supplements as well, rather than using the latest fad powders and vitamins.

Also, chiropractic has helped me a great deal, but I do have the most amazing chiropractor who uses not just traditonal adjustment methods but also healing touch, some massage, etc.

Whomever you see, make sure you feel comfortable and helped right away by this person.

Has you wife checked hypothyroidism type 1 and type 2 through temperature test rather than TSH? (read mr Starr excellent book Hypothyroidism type 2) Especially because she is pregnant, the foetus/baby needs enough thyroid hormone for development of its brains and more.
If her hormones (thyroid, cortisol, insuline and sexhormones) are not in balance, not a lot will help.

Jonathan,
That is indeed an extremely frustrating situation for you both. All the nutrition in the world won’t help if your wife is unable to absorb it from the gut and make use of it and this may well be an issue given the symptoms you describe. Have you tried an integrative or nutritional medicine practitioner (also known as orthomolecular medicine)? A good one will get you to to fill in a very comprehensive questionnaire and the first appointment should be 30 mins minimum, preferably longer. They will be able to establish whether nutrient and hormone levels are correct in your wife for starters and go from there. I am not sure where you are based but we in Perth have a range to choose from so where ever you are there should be choices. This Australian website has a list of various practitioners. http://www.acnem.org/modules/mastop_publish/?tac=23, under product and services look for referrals. The list is not exhaustive but it is a start.
Good luck
Uta
