I've searched the threads and I know that there is a lot of discussion about flax seed usage, but is Cod Liver Oil a no-no also?
Specifically, is Cod Liver Oil a no-no with ABX? I'm on tetra currently, but I toggle between tetra and clarithromycin.
Please let me know your opinions.

In conclusion, medical practitioners need to be able to identify the potential risks of CAMs. Equally, patients should be encouraged to disclose their use. Also, more research is needed to quantify the actual health risks.

Cod Liver oil has a lot of Vitamin A in it. That's the only reason that it might not be a good idea to take it within 2 hrs of ABX, but that's just a maybe.
