HELP with Detox!!!!!

[seacocean]

My husband unknowinly ingested a rancid fish oil capsule and has been very ill. I gave him a vitamin C, E and grapefruit seed extract. I also had him drink 2 glasses of water. He is currently sleeping, is there anything else I can do? :cry:

Yeah, if he doesn't feel better after waking up, call the doctor or go to the emergency room. This isn't 'detoxing' and I wouldn't be messing around with home remedies if he doesn't eliminate the rancid oil on his own. It should only produce some diarrhea or vomiting, but if that continues, call a doctor!

Thank you, that is exactly what happened. The ill effects kicked in about an hour after ingesting the fish oil with severe vomiting for about 15 minutes. He slept after that, it has now been 11 hours and he is fine. Thank you for your response, I could not find anything on the net, except it was dangerous.

Seaocean, I'm glad it turned out okay. Dr. Mike said to test the capsules once in a while to see if they taste fishy. That alone was enough to make me avoid them altogether! I buy Carlson's Lemon Cod Liver Oil for peace of mind.

Similar thing here, except I use Carlson's Very Finest Fish Oil Lemon Flavor (similar product, but has slightly higher omega 3's.) Two teaspoons in the morning is much better than taking 12 - 14 capsules to get 1600 EPA and 1000 DHA. Best price I've found so far is at Amazon where Vitamin Shoppe sells it for about $25 a bottle with shipping and sales tax. It doesn't taste fishy to me at all.
