If you want a fantastic anime, that will positively make you reflect on life and relationships and time, go watch Sousou no Freiren or Frieren: Beyond Journey's End in the West. The Japanese title is more complex and is a play with the word Sousou and its multitude of meanings which you will inevitably discovery both watching it.
After these days hiking, I am centered, clear headed, hyped.
So for laughs, time to fuck with billion dollar companies language models. Because I can.
I read every word, slowly on the ones I don’t know. You’re a gift to your fellows. Thank you for allowing those of us “cash strapped” to tag along and get wise. More like you, I ask God for. Judy
I ABHOR pay walling, especially pay walling information that can help someone or some very rare times change their lives.
Monetary support is good, I appreciate those who can, but I will never pay wall anything. Sometimes I feel bad for the paid subscribers for not getting any perks, but I rather earn less than pay wall.
Great post and pics. Also a nice tie-in to some of your previous posts. Funny how leaky gut is turning out to be a profoundly consequential problem after the medical establishment spent years denying its very existentence.
As you know, the gut produces hundreds of times more melatonin than the pineal gland, and decreased melatonin synthesis in the gut leads to increased gut permeability. What's one way that the gut may wind up producing less melatonin? By driving tryptophan down the kynurenine pathway that you've talked about so many times. I've recently had my own experience with what melatonin can do here. I get migraines from chemical exposures. Part of the process involves a vicious cycle in the brain that increases BBB permeability. I get fewer migraines if I take melatonin 3x/day than I get if I take it 1x/day.
Shoutout to homemade kefir as well, for leaky gut help and for immunity support. I had four sinus infections in the first half of 2019. I decided to start making kefir again without thinking that it would have anything to do with fewer colds. Coincidentally or not, the only sinus issue I've had since then was a very mild cold in Feb '23.
The tie-in wasn't intentional, it is just good recent papers that got my attention and I am personally liking these simpler posts that are more helpful too. I find it insane that doctors denied the existence of leaky gut and its importance, given that if any microbe translocates from your gut to anywhere in your body, you will develop a reaction, often inflammatory.
You will have endotoxin floating around...
I am a big proponent of most people supplementing melatonin these days, it has dozens if not a hundred direct effects on many cells, genes, proteins, even our mitochondrias have receptors for melatonin itself. Glad you had improvements by just increasing the amount of melatonin.
While there are poisonous snakes, I have never seen one here, ever. I think they just ran when they hear humans walking around the forest. But we usually don't kill them even if we see them, we just walk around if possible.
I feel like any probiotic could be cultured . It’s just a matter of knowing the conditions ( temp) and what to feed it . Mostly some kind of natural sugar . An experienced person with a microscope could pretty much verify success .
Glad you’re getting over whatever you had. Those are beautiful pics and a very interesting article. Coconut water is delicious, sadly hard to come by in Northern Europe.
I also stopped by here to share a story. You might remember it was me a few weeks ago asking about the link btwn spike and appendicitis after a friend was hospitalized with strange inflammatory symptoms among which appendix and I speculated that maybe my friend had taken too many mRNA. And you said that you were hearing of many unvaccinated having the same problem, so don’t assume…..
Well guess what, I’m writing this from the hospital where I’ve just had my very inflamed appendix removed. Yeah…. karma what a b*tch!!
Joking aside, I’m slightly worried about what inflammation might be going on in my gut/other organs given this just happened?! My blood tests were normal and didn’t have any fever but from ultrasound they could see my appendix was in a pretty bad way.
Well I suppose I too need to look into sorting out my gut which I am guessing has taken a beating from several CoVid infections over the past 4 years.
Another readers had a Appendix problem recently, and as a matter of fact, faced a similar trend. The appendix is a dumping ground for toxins and things your body leave to deal with another time, so yes, while all your blood tests may be normal, there is something else going on at the microbiome level, or tests they didn't measure.
I would consider adding Activated Charcoal, because odds are, you have some toxins floating around sending inflammatory signals around the body. And sorting your gut out would be the best and most appropriated way to deal with this.
Not to sound like an asshole, but for the last few months I have persistently warned, multiple times, to my own detriment (I don't care about following numbers, or if telling the truth makes me lose money, which both happened) that the virus is doing things nobody is measuring and even with the stack, damage still piles up.
I wish you a very speed recovery. It isn't karma though even if you were joking. Just viral evolution (babyyyyyy - Pearl Jam lol).
nice pics, Moriarty. If you don't mind, I'll steal a few for my desktop pic folder! :-))
I found out during Covid that the spike and other SARS detritus was collecting in and choking the spleen in many people, and it turns out that one way for the spleen to get rid of toxins it cannot process is to package them up and send the package up the vagus nerve, which ends up trashing the brain, but at least the spleen is good, hey, hey...
I had some bumps that appeared on my left upper arm, and I had had a problem with the skin on the top of my head. I started using 1/2 mL of a Sappanwood extract morning and again in evening, because it is the only thing I could find that was known to heal the spleen and help it stay clean so it didn't get overloaded (Sappanwood also helps clear the liver and the heart).
Soon after I started, the skin on my head became noticeably better, and the bumps on my arm went away. I concluded that my spleen was sending toxins up to my head for release into hair follicles, but because I am mostly bald, it was poisoning the skin which would flake off or grow granular growths - most of that stopped in a couple months. It was also sending toxins into my lymph system, and the closest place for pushing that stuff out of the body was my upper left arm. That stopped as well.
The lesson of this story is: Take care of your spleen and it will take care of your brain. :-)
I have other hiking pictures that I shared before, some are indeed wallpaper worth, but feel free to use these as you see fit.
SARS fragments collect in many organs, what I can't seen to understand is how the body decides which organ it will "dump" it, why many people have in the spleen, others bone marrow, others liver, the list goes on, and many unfortunate souls...the brain. Previous injury ? Capacity to tackle the damage while the body "expel" it ?
Many people develop swollen lymphs after being exposed to the Spike (virus or vaccine) so I would gander the body has a threshold of how much Spike fragments will handle before starting dumping around.
I am now testing activated charcoal, wonder if it will be able to lower the toxin load of the Spike by either binding to it or to other toxins (since I suspect the Spike can bind and "manipulate" any and all toxins that can interact with LPS).
I did not forget your emails, very sorry for that =(.
well..interesting as i have actually started taking 1 tsp of activated charcoala month back either in the morning or before bed atleast once a week basis (first i took few days in a row,now not required more unless for some specific reason),also as i have learnt that activated charcoal (and serrapeptase) during the fasts are more effective am doing that(still weekly basis), as am more concentrated on fasting presently not taking many supplements, body is taking care on own mostly, just some probiotics here and there plus mg and serra some days along with once weekly activated charcoal..
great pictures ,so good that it makes me feel to go there and spend the rest of my life there.. thanks for sharing!
I started low, and I am taking 500 mg pills with food, I will try on a empty stomach soon enough, gotta be gentle with my (very fucked up) digestive system, but interesting to know it is more effective during fast, must be able to bind to toxins and any "bad" stuff easier.
Thanks and I share the sentiment, if I could I would move and spend the rest of my life there. Perhaps in the distant future.
i never knew it can be taken with food, ofcourse thats always safest ,but not much effect tbh,.. yes on empty stomach (3hrs away from food and supps,atleast) it binds to mycotoxins etc other nasty stuffs much better.. this and 3-4 hrs later (or even more) serrapeptase is a great combination (i use this during fasting periods, but not always ,when i feel the need,only then)...
Here they recommend taking it with food, but I would think it would indeed diminish the effects, but it did have some effects, I am now eager to try on a empty stomach to see how well it does, probably very well.
Maybe for people who experience weird "allergies" when they take serrapeptase (biofilms breaking down and bacterial products shifting the immune system and inflammatory waves glaore), the activated charcoal while fasting would be a powerful combo and a way to avoid exactly that.
When I found out that the circulatory system and the lymph system connect at the spleen and that the circulatory system was (often) dumping spikes into the spleen in many people, I decided that was pretty critical and went looking for a supplement to help the spleen particularly. I was amazed to find that there are virtually *no* supplements out there aimed at helping the spleen. The only one I could find was Sappanwood. Literally the only one.
When I started taking that, not only did the new bumps on my arm start to go away, but the various little bumps/flakes/granules that I had been coping with for *years* also went mostly away - Unexpected Bonus!!
My theory for all of this is that even I (unvaxxxed and no significant infections) was still clogging my spleen with *something*, presumably normal toxins of everyday life as well as spikes I was picking up from all the vaxxxed people I was near AND that my spleen was sending all that gunk in several different directions, including somehow up to my bald head, which meant it was still assuming that I had hair follicles that would take up those toxins as one of the main ways my body dumps toxins. Since I have little hair on my head, the toxins were collecting in the skin and causing all those minor but annoying skin problems.
I also decided that if this was happening in my head skin and upper left arm, I have to assume that the spleen is also sending gunk up the vagus nerve for some silly reason. Since I only have one brain, I still take the Sappanwood to help keep my vagus nerve from becoming a Road for Rot, a Footpath for Filth, a Highway for Hinkiness, etc. Sappanwood clearly helps the visible pathways to stay clear, so I assume it also reduces the load on my vagus nerve.
As for activated charcoal, I think that's an excellent idea and sometimes use it myself. I'd use it more often, but it will gather up good supplements and good food constituents as well as the bad stuff, so it is hard to figure out when to take it for maximum benefit and minimum loss. Perhaps you can figure out the best rhythm for taking it. Let us know!
Emails? Those were so long ago, I've forgotten what I asked. Feel better now? :-)) :-))
This comment made me go look into older studies which incidentally is one of the reasons of my absence, it suddenly reminded me of the very recent xenoAMPs paper and one older paper "Are fragments of the Spike Protein dangerous to acquatic life".
Your thoughts fall in line with mine, the body is dumping fragments of the Spike protein everywhere, not just the spleen, and in the process of breaking down (or not, because certain parts of the Spike are extremely hard to breakdown), it will "push" it through tissue, incidentally causing all the weird reactions "without proper cause".
Not just the skin, the virus and its fragments have a predilection on sticking to nerves (You can find me proposing this in 2021-2022), the virus itself, I still hold the opinion, in some people sticks around in the nervous system.
It is sad that we don't have Sappanwood here =(.
Per what another reader wrote in a reply, activated charcoal is best taken on a empty stomach, no other supplements hours before or after. In fact, I think it would be best to take just activated charcoal, and nothing else, no other supplement (amino acid, etc). so it binds to all the toxins.
Yeah, that's my nightmare visualization, a massive domino-falling and ever-increasing avalanche cascade of spikes and pieces of spikes coursing through the body and overwhelming all the detox pathways as the body desperately tries to neutralize and dump whatever it can however it can. Yes, I have an active imagination. That one is particularly nightmare-ish.
The only sappanwood product I know of is this one:
They offer many volume variations, and they *might* be persuaded by a phone call to send some to you in Brazil. Or go here to a Yacht-mail-forwarding service, https://www.sbimailservice.com and have Hawaii Pharm send to St Brendan's, and then let SBI get the package to you (they ship all over the world so probably to you, as you don't need to be a yacht).
The other option I would recommend is if you have Chinese areas in Brazil where they have a thriving community of Traditional Chinese Medicine herbalists who can help you find an equivalent. Maybe a Japanese community has that same level of quality herbalists.
Activated charcoal is really useful when someone takes a course of antibiotics and gets stuck in a bad intestinal cycle. Taking a few days of AC absorbs the remaining antibiotic and associated toxins that have gotten stuck in the intestine, and it corrects the problem pretty much completely within a few days. I really try to avoid antibiotics, but if someone needs it, I always recommend (or take myself) a course of AC right after the course of antibiotics has been completed. It helps the microbiome settle down and begin to rebuild. My use of AC is targeted, not continuous, and I try to take it 2-3 hours away from meals or other supplements.
I hate when I can't pin a comment because it is in a "conversation", so consider this "pinned" out of sheer value for people who will eventually find it.
We have some Chinese areas and a rich Japanese area, but the herbalists will only be found in rural areas, so I will have to track down online and see if some of the online natural "stuff" stores have some sappanwood, they might and may not advertise, or perhaps, the bane of my existence, have some stupid name. Because brazilians love to change the name of things to stuff that isn't even closely related and you would never guess.
Thank you for the sources to buy the product, I may consider, I also have some family members in the US that visit once a year, so push comes to shove, I may use that way of "importing".
Cool, glad it was helpful. FYI, I started at 1 mL in morning and 1 mL in evening for the first few weeks and now do 1/2 mL morning and 1/2 mL in evening. A 4 oz bottle lasts several weeks. And it tastes good, too - Bonus! :-)
Beautiful photos! What a cool experience to hike in such a unique setting.
Obviously you know this...but others may not. The gut has its own brain which determines the health for the entire body. Keeping the gut healthy is first and foremost but not really that easy these days especially if you live in the US and if a person shops in grocery stores which have foods laden in chemicals but what can a person do?
Grow your own food or buy from a small local farmer that doesn't use chemicals. That's it. Those are the two options. The grocery store has become a foe to the human experience due to the fact that they have sold out to Monsanto/Bayer. Even our fresh fruit and veggies are covered in poison to make the fruit or veggies last longer in the produce isle. Sometimes those apples in your cart are over a year old! Those eggs can be almost 100 DAYS old. There is no nutrition left after your food has been sitting somewhere in a warehouse that long!
If you do absolutely have to shop at a grocery store, read the ingredients of all items you put in your cart. If the item contains more than 5 ingredients and it happens to contain things you can not pronounce or says "Bio-Engineered" food, put it back on the shelf and keep walking.
Learn to cook from scratch. Stop relying on packaged food because that food may be easier, but it is not good for you.
Learn the trickle effect. It looks like this:
1) Learn to grow your own garden of food you eat.
2) There is nothing more rewarding than putting food on your table that you grew!
3) Once you learn to grow your own food, you will need to learn how to preserve your harvest.
4) Pretty soon you will have a bunch of canned goods in your pantry and you will know that they will have ZERO chemicals or poison and feel good about eating them.
Well, as I wrote to someone else months ago, there is a way to reduce the amount of toxins in your leafy greens and vegetables by a large amount, it is incredibly cheap and simple.
Just add a good few spoons of Sodium bicarbonate to a bunch of water and soak them for 30-45 minutes, them wash it very well.
This is a decent option for people who can't grow their food because of the costs involved (not everyone have land to do it). This only works for man-made toxins, genetically modified foods are another thing =P.
I was appaled by your second paragraph, things here go bad incredibly fast, I can't imagine an apple lasting that long, and eggs too. Still good advice for anyone who has little bit of land to do it, doesn't take that much to grow a bunch of food.
I am curious if you know a good way to detox the liver & kidney that isnt with a bunch of chemicals?
as far as growing your own food, you really dont need a bunch of land. A person can grow microgreens under some lights for some greens. Or sprouts in a mason jar. Currently I have a quart mason jar sitting on my dining room table growing sprouts. Its a super cheap way to grow some greens and the best part is you know where they came from. I do this during the winter months when I want fresh greens.
Microgreens and sprouts and really good for you because the plant didn't have to opportunity to utilize the minerals and vitamins with in the plant because it doesn't have an option to get very big. Here is how you do it
There are a lot of online resources to grow microgreens or spouts.
Here's an article about apples. I happen to have a couple apple trees in my yard and the interesting thing is that my apples don't last more than a couple of months in my fridge. I have to process them into apple sauce or what ever. The apple companies spray the apples with chemicals to get them to last longer. Then the human eats those apples. Apeel is a new chemical that you can not wash off. Bill Gates has funded the "science" behind that one.
Heres how to tell if your eggs are bad. The egg companies wash the bloom off the egg which protects the egg from going bad. Fresh eggs from my yard birds will last 6 weeks unrefrigerated, but stores? that's just a bunch of nasty, eggs from chickens that were stuffed into a cage for their entire life. Chickens dont require much room really. They do require work though.
Liver yes, I have proposed multiple times what we could argue is the best "liver detox" there is. NAC+Glycine. The effects on kidney are not as precise.
Quercetin, by literature, and Fisetin (its stronger cousin) can help with many kidney conditions. Otherwise, only peptides will "clean" (regenerate the organ".
Thank you for sharing all those links and information too =D. Valuable to me and others too.
I’ve tried many different fish oil supplements and I can’t take them because fish oil stimulates me too much where I can’t sleep, I don’t understand why. But I do organic chia seeds daily for omegas. Your thoughts on why fish oil supplements jack me up, I also eat wild salmon twice a week.
Without considerable research, from the top of my head, I would say Omega 3 supplements are directly affecting, in a unique (paradoxical too) way your hormonal system, because commonly the opposite happens, it can make you more sleepy.
Omega 3 directly affects melatonin production and release too. It must be something very unique to you, or to your microbiome. If you eat wild salmon you may not need to supplement, plus if your usage is to ward dementia off, in my opinion, Thiamine and Vitamin D are as effective, with Thiamine being the primary one.
Some researchers even call Alzheimer's "Long-term thiamine deficiency".
I'm highly suspicious of a study that claims fish oil provides a benefit while oily fish does not. Especially after Ray Peat identified fish oil as being a source of PUFAs.
The main problem I see (per R. Pete)is rancid fish oils. Unless you're getting pharmaceutical fish oil, you're asking for trouble. This distinction is rarely drawn.
If I drink a glass of coconut water, which I do like the taste of, it is rather likely that whatever is in the bowel, will demand to be let out rather soon ;)
If you want a fantastic anime, that will positively make you reflect on life and relationships and time, go watch Sousou no Freiren or Frieren: Beyond Journey's End in the West.

Lovely photos.... but I can't help thinking of snakes... and ticks! Is it the lead hiker's job to dispatch the deadly serpents?
While there are poisonous snakes, I have never seen one here, ever. I think they just ran when they hear humans walking around the forest. But we usually don't kill them even if we see them, we just walk around if possible.

Yeah, that's my nightmare visualization, a massive domino-falling and ever-increasing avalanche cascade of spikes and pieces of spikes coursing through the body and overwhelming all the detox pathways as the body desperately tries to neutralize and dump whatever it can however it can. Yes, I have an active imagination. That one is particularly nightmare-ish.
The only sappanwood product I know of is this one:
https://www.hawaiipharm.com/sappanwood-nonalc-extract
They offer many volume variations, and they *might* be persuaded by a phone call to send some to you in Brazil. Or go here to a Yacht-mail-forwarding service, https://www.sbimailservice.com and have Hawaii Pharm send to St Brendan's, and then let SBI get the package to you (they ship all over the world so probably to you, as you don't need to be a yacht).
The other option I would recommend is if you have Chinese areas in Brazil where they have a thriving community of Traditional Chinese Medicine herbalists who can help you find an equivalent. Maybe a Japanese community has that same level of quality herbalists.
Activated charcoal is really useful when someone takes a course of antibiotics and gets stuck in a bad intestinal cycle. Taking a few days of AC absorbs the remaining antibiotic and associated toxins that have gotten stuck in the intestine, and it corrects the problem pretty much completely within a few days. I really try to avoid antibiotics, but if someone needs it, I always recommend (or take myself) a course of AC right after the course of antibiotics has been completed. It helps the microbiome settle down and begin to rebuild. My use of AC is targeted, not continuous, and I try to take it 2-3 hours away from meals or other supplements.
I hate when I can't pin a comment because it is in a "conversation", so consider this "pinned" out of sheer value for people who will eventually find it.
We have some Chinese areas and a rich Japanese area, but the herbalists will only be found in rural areas, so I will have to track down online and see if some of the online natural "stuff" stores have some sappanwood, they might and may not advertise, or perhaps, the bane of my existence, have some stupid name. Because brazilians love to change the name of things to stuff that isn't even closely related and you would never guess.
Thank you for the sources to buy the product, I may consider, I also have some family members in the US that visit once a year, so push comes to shove, I may use that way of "importing".
All the best Steve.
Cool, glad it was helpful. FYI, I started at 1 mL in morning and 1 mL in evening for the first few weeks and now do 1/2 mL morning and 1/2 mL in evening. A 4 oz bottle lasts several weeks. And it tastes good, too - Bonus! :-)
Beautiful photos! What a cool experience to hike in such a unique setting.
Obviously you know this...but others may not. The gut has its own brain which determines the health for the entire body. Keeping the gut healthy is first and foremost but not really that easy these days especially if you live in the US and if a person shops in grocery stores which have foods laden in chemicals but what can a person do?
Grow your own food or buy from a small local farmer that doesn't use chemicals. That's it. Those are the two options. The grocery store has become a foe to the human experience due to the fact that they have sold out to Monsanto/Bayer. Even our fresh fruit and veggies are covered in poison to make the fruit or veggies last longer in the produce isle. Sometimes those apples in your cart are over a year old! Those eggs can be almost 100 DAYS old. There is no nutrition left after your food has been sitting somewhere in a warehouse that long!
If you do absolutely have to shop at a grocery store, read the ingredients of all items you put in your cart. If the item contains more than 5 ingredients and it happens to contain things you can not pronounce or says "Bio-Engineered" food, put it back on the shelf and keep walking.
Learn to cook from scratch. Stop relying on packaged food because that food may be easier, but it is not good for you.
Learn the trickle effect. It looks like this:
1) Learn to grow your own garden of food you eat.
2) There is nothing more rewarding than putting food on your table that you grew!
3) Once you learn to grow your own food, you will need to learn how to preserve your harvest.
4) Pretty soon you will have a bunch of canned goods in your pantry and you will know that they will have ZERO chemicals or poison and feel good about eating them.
Well, as I wrote to someone else months ago, there is a way to reduce the amount of toxins in your leafy greens and vegetables by a large amount, it is incredibly cheap and simple.
Just add a good few spoons of Sodium bicarbonate to a bunch of water and soak them for 30-45 minutes, them wash it very well.
This is a decent option for people who can't grow their food because of the costs involved (not everyone have land to do it). This only works for man-made toxins, genetically modified foods are another thing =P.
I was appaled by your second paragraph, things here go bad incredibly fast, I can't imagine an apple lasting that long, and eggs too. Still good advice for anyone who has little bit of land to do it, doesn't take that much to grow a bunch of food.
I am curious if you know a good way to detox the liver & kidney that isnt with a bunch of chemicals?
as far as growing your own food, you really dont need a bunch of land. A person can grow microgreens under some lights for some greens. Or sprouts in a mason jar. Currently I have a quart mason jar sitting on my dining room table growing sprouts. Its a super cheap way to grow some greens and the best part is you know where they came from. I do this during the winter months when I want fresh greens.
Microgreens and sprouts and really good for you because the plant didn't have to opportunity to utilize the minerals and vitamins with in the plant because it doesn't have an option to get very big. Here is how you do it
https://www.gardeningchannel.com/how-to-grow-microgreens-101/
There are a lot of online resources to grow microgreens or spouts.
Here's an article about apples. I happen to have a couple apple trees in my yard and the interesting thing is that my apples don't last more than a couple of months in my fridge. I have to process them into apple sauce or what ever. The apple companies spray the apples with chemicals to get them to last longer. Then the human eats those apples. Apeel is a new chemical that you can not wash off. Bill Gates has funded the "science" behind that one.

Heres how to tell if your eggs are bad. The egg companies wash the bloom off the egg which protects the egg from going bad. Fresh eggs from my yard birds will last 6 weeks unrefrigerated, but stores? that's just a bunch of nasty, eggs from chickens that were stuffed into a cage for their entire life. Chickens dont require much room really. They do require work though.

Liver yes, I have proposed multiple times what we could argue is the best "liver detox" there is. NAC+Glycine. The effects on kidney are not as precise.
Quercetin, by literature, and Fisetin (its stronger cousin) can help with many kidney conditions. Otherwise, only peptides will "clean" (regenerate the organ".
Thank you for sharing all those links and information too =D. Valuable to me and others too.
thank you and you're welcome!
I’ve tried many different fish oil supplements and I can’t take them because fish oil stimulates me too much where I can’t sleep, I don’t understand why. But I do organic chia seeds daily for omegas. Your thoughts on why fish oil supplements jack me up, I also eat wild salmon twice a week.
Without considerable research, from the top of my head, I would say Omega 3 supplements are directly affecting, in a unique (paradoxical too) way your hormonal system, because commonly the opposite happens, it can make you more sleepy.
Omega 3 directly affects melatonin production and release too. It must be something very unique to you, or to your microbiome. If you eat wild salmon you may not need to supplement, plus if your usage is to ward dementia off, in my opinion, Thiamine and Vitamin D are as effective, with Thiamine being the primary one.
Some researchers even call Alzheimer's "Long-term thiamine deficiency".
Aly, perhaps you can not take the fish oil supplements because many of them have toxic mercury in them as opposed to wild caught fresh fish.

Thank you for sharing your pics!
I'm highly suspicious of a study that claims fish oil provides a benefit while oily fish does not. Especially after Ray Peat identified fish oil as being a source of PUFAs.

Nutritional vs therapeutic levels of a nutrient.
The main problem I see (per R. Pete)is rancid fish oils. Unless you're getting pharmaceutical fish oil, you're asking for trouble. This distinction is rarely drawn.
If I drink a glass of coconut water, which I do like the taste of, it is rather likely that whatever is in the bowel, will demand to be let out rather soon ;)

One concern I have with fish oil is that it might be made using farmed fish... which is fed all sorts of terrible stuff...
Well, that and it goes rancid quickly. You might want to cut open one of the capsules to find out.
Just buy krill oil from wild fish
