Krill Oil

What oil? Which vinegar? What about sugar?

Krill Oil

Are crustaceans allowed on the Wai diet? I can't remember if they're mentioned on Wai Says, and I hate those search engines - I wish there was a search engine for the whole of Wai's writings.

This Krill Oil is the only marine oil I can find that isn't heated.
It also contains lots of antioxidants.

That depends on whether they naturally contain toxins (produced to prevent consumption), and on how they are processed (whether heat-processing is involved to make them ready to eat).
Also, they shouldnt contain too much of any given metal / mineral (eg zinc).

Lots of antioxidants isnt necessarily good; aggressive cleansing agents also contain lots of these.
Why do you want to consume marine oil specifically?

My mum refuses to eat fish, so I want to give her fish oils. But fish oils are heated, and contain heavy metals unless very very processed. They also create a lot of free radicals in the body.

The Krill Oil is not heated, and doesn't contain any heavy metals (the krill live in a sea we haven't wrecked yet), and the antioxidants (such as axanstanthin which gives salmon its colour) prevent oxidation (= free radicals).

I wanted to give her antioxidant supplements anyway, as she has emphesyma, that is progressively getting worse, and the only thing that has been shown to prevent and/or halt emphesyma, is antioxidants. The most effective treatment so far has been lycopene, but the best source of this is tomatoes cooked with oil - not raw. So I thought I would have to find supplements but then most of those aren't raw either. Krill Oil has been found to be 6 times more antioxidant power than lycopene - and it's raw.

She's not on the Wai diet so I suppose it doesn't matter, but I still wanted to know if there's anything with krill. And I'm curious to know if Krill would be an option for Waiians.

Regarding raw krill consumption; like shrimps, krill are regularly afflicted by parasites, so that we advice against eating raw krill
Regarding krill oil: The peel of krill contains high levels of fluorides (toxic), so that they should be peeled before processed into oil. Other than that, I dont know how safe / healthy the oil is.
