It may be that it was just too much of both, but I am not going to experiment on myself to try to figure it out. I am sad that I cannot follow Lotus's program with the CO.

A little research on the subject:

Spanky this crossed my mind also but did you offset your EPO with fish oil? Epo on its own is pro inflammatory and inflammation raises bad cholesterol too. Infact I'm going to get my C reactive protein levels checked too to see if they are elevated.

I got this book out twice and having read it I swore id consume coconut oil for the rest of my life

But according to my blood type (if you believe in that) coconut oil is a no no for me. Dr D A'mo

Coconut oil might be inflammatory for certain blood types
