This interests me because I have taken so much acetomeniphen (sp?) and ibuprofen for joint pain over the years that I am really beginning to worry about toxicity. The krill oil is familiar, but not the circumin. What is the typical dosage for inflammation? Is it relatively common? Any side effects?

Circumin is from tumeric and has been used in Indian medicine for centuries. More and more studies are finding that circumin is a great all-around anti-inflammatory and even anti-cancer supplement. I use the one listed in our product catalog. You can look at this one and get one that’s similar and give it a try. At first I used a couple of fish oil caps per day along with a couple of krill oil caps and a circumin capsule. I’ve worked down to the single krill and the circumin. I would take the circumin, though, even if the krill oil alone helped the inflammation. Here is the first post I did on krill oil talking about my original regimen. I posted on krill several times. If you enter ‘krill oil’ in the search function on the upper right of the blog, you can find all the posts.

Krill oil is oil from krill, what are tiny, shrimp-like creatures that make up most of the biomass of the ocean. Fish oil is from fish, which are, well, fish. Cold water fish, typically. The fatty acids in krill oil are hooked up differently than those in fish oil, making krill oil easier to take, easier to absorb, and more potent for a given amount.

Glad you’re serving as a good example.

I had my own moment a couple months ago with a young co-worker who was putting together a shipment going to Clear Lake, Iowa. I mentioned going there a few years ago and seeing the Surf Ballroom where Buddy Holly played his last show.

“Who’s Buddy Holly?” asked my co-worker in dead seriousness.

“Oh, come on, everyone knows Buddy Holly. He was huge. ‘American Pie’ by Don Maclean was written about him dying in a plane crash, the day the music died.”

Co-worker blinks. “Who’s Don Maclean?”

I went back to my desk after that, feeling very old.

Yes, indeed. It does make one feel old. Don’t these people have parents who shared their music. All of our kids know Alice’s Rest and Buddy Holly and Don McClean. A funny story. I was sitting in our local coffee shop a couple of days ago having a cup with our middle kid when Gary Busey (the actor who played Buddy Holly in the movie) drives up, gets out of his car, and walks in. I see him when he gets out of the car and recognize him. I say to my kid, ‘Look, do you know who that is?’ My kid looks and says, ‘It looks like an old Buddy Holly, but it can’t be because I know he’s dead.’

Amen! I am well and truly in my 50’s and as I age I have observed that every generation believes it invented sex and social justice. Ours was no different. Our children and grandchildren will do the same.

How true. I’m contemplating a short essay on this very thing as it relates to Alice’s Restaurant.

Sounds good to me. Of course, anything with blackberries in it sounds good to me.

It’s a bizarre situation. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is supposed to be looking out for these kinds of things, but they don’t. Not unless these folks start to sell a lot of product will the FTC do anything. The whole marketing of bogus products and plans and how the FTC works would require many pages to explain.

best of holidays to you and yours!

A sad state of affairs. You know what they say about those who forget history…

Hmm. I had to rescue your comment from my spam filter because it contained the link that showed up in your inbox. Enough said. It’s BS.

It must have worked.

We’d never heard of a dump bein’ closed on Thanksgiving.
