Check the amount of vitamin D in the cod liver oil. It may be that
in order to get enough fish oil from cod liver you may need to
overdose vitamin D. That may be why a high DHA/EPA non-cod liver
oil is preferred.

I know of a good source for a high quality fish oil with a pleasant
taste, good heksher, at a fraction of the cost in the health food
stores. Call Levi Lebowitz at 502 1814

If you wish to a possible alternative program to get rid of her need
for the Ritalin altogether, contact me.
