As children, my brother and I were constantly subjected to my mother’s host of home remedies from dandelion root tea to fat back poultices. The granddaddy cure of them all, however, was cod liver oil. Even the family dog wasn’t safe from its fishy grasp. My mother regularly mixed a little cod liver oil in ...
