ig vs here

[hopefulfornumber3]

We don't yell at you if you have questions about something one of us wrote, I will say that!

Exactly! So true NBP.

Atomic--I have a question. The link that you posted above has a link inside (the first one) that doesn't work... is there somewhere else to find the info for that particular set of things?

Oh gosh, I'm so sorry!!!

Thank you NBP for fixing that!

Hey I want to say I like it here too :P I always post what I think or like to ask so it's just wrong if someone try to shut you up or delete your post just because it's don't fit in their one way view...

Thank you! I hope that it is helpful to people!

I find everything easier to follow here. Its great to have the best of both worlds but as HT is (or has been) my area I find things easier to follow.

i guess i never found that experience on IG probably bnc i wasnt on there long enough (just a month). also it was hard getting on as it was..but had no idea all this went on over there! glad im outta there then!

I think the biggest difference is that things that are big "no-no's" on IG like dairy products are not so taboo here - the focus is on a highly nourishing diet for boys, emphasis on lots of protein/testosterone boosting foods and high nutrient levels in anything.

Also Cod Liver Oil is OK to talk about here and you won't get threads locked if you mention you used it for a boy sway! Hehe.

The info here is great and the gals have done a wonderful job pulling things together so dig in!

What is the reason behind the no-no on the cod liver oil? I took cod liver oil during my last pregnancy and was going to take to ttc but switched to regular fish oil based on IG's recommendation.

There is actually a sound reason for that - it is possible to overdose on Vit. A from cod liver oil and it can make you very sick and also cause birth defects. Even Vitamin D can be overdosed (although that's pretty rare.)

You also must be very careful with the source of your cod liver oil because the liver accumulates toxins and extremely dangerous heavy metals such as mercury can accumulate in the cod's liver. There are brands on the market that are tested and are toxin-free like Carlson http://www.amazon.com/Carlson-Norweg.../dp/B00013YXC2

They just get so many posts on IG that I think it's easier for them to delete than reply, especially since they have to battle monkeys to do it. I have the luxury of having enough time to answer people's questions and this lovely site that works so beautifully!!
