Therapeutic effects of omega 3 etc

[Guest guest]

Hi Vicky, I'm not suggesting anything at all. The last thing I would

want to do it to upset .

You reminded me of part of Edith's backstory. I gave her CLO from birth

-- then around 5 I stopped (I can't remember why now) and maybe 2 years

later, restarted it. I only gave her half a teaspoonful -- she had the

most terrible day, I still remember nearly all of it. I can't go into

parts of London without vivid memories of crying and screaming flooding

back. I put it down to the CLO and didn't give it again for ages. Then

(maybe around 8) after my brother's anti-inflammatory drug she was doing

so much better that I decided to give the CLO again, as an experiment,

because, like you, I know it's good for you and her. This time, fine, no

problems, generally good.

So I'm not saying -- give it. It would make sense that he hasn't had any

Omega 3 for ages because the veg based EFA probably didn't get

metabolised into HUFA (highly unsaturated fatty acid). He probably

didn't get any benefit from the veg caps but also didn't set off the

triggers.

In her book, says supplement directly with EPA and DHA

which are the hard to make HUFAs made from Omega 3 EFA. Research since

then suggests that EPA is the important bit and your body should be able

to make DHA if it wants it from the EPA. All of which is no good if it

makes break the walls down. Does he go berserk straight away (like

Edith see above) or does it take a short while? If it's straight away,

I'll send you a couple of caps and you can try and know right away (if

you can stand it). These are VegEPA caps and they are 500mg each, so

they are quite a lot at a time. You might not want so much, might

not like caps
