Hi Marilinw14,
We used Blood Well and Blood Tonic from http://www.getwellnatural.com which were recommended by the master herbalist and qualified MD. The shark liver oil was also under his recommendation and was purchased from the local health store.
The reasons for using shark liver oil includes the fact that shark liver oil has the ackgylcerols that help in bone marrow production. It contains squalene as well which is used in treatment in reducing side effects of chemotherapy and helps in a host of other illness. You can read about such use in Toronto's children hospital. See http://www.isshogenki.com/research/index.html
Please always consult your treating doctor before you even consider using alternative treatments. We consider these herbs as supplements only and they provide nutritional support.
Hope this helps.
Peter Lim
