Hello
again Catherine,
We are
very grateful that you are sharing the information about the study with so many
people.
First on price and
transportation: We have
found a reasonable shipping service which operates with a unique price for all
of the United States. The price for 6 bottles Norwegian Fish Oil Liquid Omega-3
and shipping included, is Euro 217. It equals approximately $ 342 depending on
the exchange rate.

When the
scientists chose this particular product, they looked for high levels of DHA and
EPA while the product must also not be tampered with chemically. They looked for
these specific qualities in products from different suppliers all over the
world, not only on the Italian market. It is possible to obtain a higher
concentration of the fatty acids, but this compromises the natural quality of
the fish oil. So they did not want a high concentration product. Also they
checked the documented levels of dioxins, PCB and pollutants, which they found
to be very important for this patient group. On all these aspects the product is
far better than the required levels set by the industry and/or the authorities.
As for
dosage, we have the recommendations by Dr. Claudio de Felice and his colleague
Dr. Youssef Hayek at Le Scotte Hospital in Siena, Italy:
Children up to 10 years of age: 1 teaspoon (5 ml)
Children over 10 years of age, and adults: 1 teaspoon (5 ml) twice a day.
Please notice that when consulting with the doctors individually, they measure oxidative stress and set the dosage for each patient based on that. The above recommendation is a general conclusion based on average values for their total amount of patients as of today, and is the best way possible to achieve a correct dosage without individual examination. Please also notice that the dosage information applies to Norwegian Fish Oil Liquid Omega-3, on which the study has been done, and the results have been achieved using this specific fish oil only.

In the meanwhile
Did my own research about Fish Oil Omega -3 and found http://www.fishoiladvice.org/
Ian was very helpful and concern with the Rett girls. His free guide is very informative on how to select a pure fish oil and he had the kindness to give me the link of what he think is the best product for the best price. Please follow link: http://healthylife.xtend-life.com/product/Omega_3_DHA_Fish_Oil.aspx?id=1001798
I ordered some today and plan on giving a try with Alexandra. I believe on Dr Claudio de Felice study even if it was done on only 20 Rett girl. He is working on the Oxidative stress please see article at http://www.researchgate.net/profile/Claudio_De_Felice/
Hope all of this is helpful and not confusing. Do not hesitate to contact me.
Catherine, I totally appreciate your posts on here about this fish oil study. I have been trying to follow all of this too and have been pretty skeptical that there is a study that's being done on just 1 specific brand of fish oil - seems a little strange to me. We used fish oil with Annie when she was younger (ages about 2-4) we used Carlson's because it was supposed to be the purest form we got it from our chiropracter and were basically told to take as much as she could handle - since she had a g-tube that wasn't an issue and we were able to give 2 tsp 1X/d - we saw no changes at all except that she has the most beautiful skin, however we now do olive oil and see the same glowing fresh skin. Recently I thought the information has changed and that Krill oil was supposed to be purer and higher concentrations of PUFA's. I hope hope hope this does show benefit for our Rett girlys but seems a little "fishy" :) Keep us posted on how your sweet Alexandra does with the fish oil you are trying. Hugs!!! And thank you so much for posting this, it's been so helpful!
