What is HBVO?
Hi Vonnie,
I have no idea!
Anyone??
All my best,
Baden
Was it maybe referring to high vitamin butter oil? HVBO?
Great, Erin! Thank you!
All my best,
Baden
Wish I could remember where I saw that comment about HBVO. I thought it was one of yours! But anyway, here are some more for the list that I’m sure you know: EFAs, PUFAs, NCM, SKJ. I’ll keep collecting them. They drive me crazy until I figure out what they mean!
Thanks again, Baden, for all your help!
Vonnie
Hi Vonnie,
I’ll keep loading and translating what I can, but I think I maybe need context for some of them. Out of context (or maybe at all) I can’t think of what PUFAs and SKJ is! Feel free to copy a phrases, sentence, or paragraph over to me here.
All my best,
Baden
EFA=essential fatty accid
PUFA=polyunsaturated fatty acid
Thanks so much, Mark!
All my best,
Baden
Someone recently posted a long spreadsheet of GAPS and common Internet-language acronyms on the Yahoo GAPS group. Find it here:
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/GAPShelp/files/
filename acronyms, (re)post date Sept 4, 2011.
That reminded me you can Google anything, including acronyms. But Googling HBVO came up only with:
Hemiretinal Branch Vein Occlusion
SKJ came up with some entertaining alternatives at http://www.acronymfinder.com/SKJ.html
This GAPs journey ’tis such a new way of living it even has its own language! And jokes, I suppose.

SKJ = sauerkraut juice
And another one:BK =Biokult.
