Fish oil

[Guest guest]

,

You should not take anymore than 2000 to 2400 mg a day of fish oil. Anymore

and you could upset your stomach. If you find you can taste the fish oil put it

in the refrigerator and take it when you eat. I don't have a problem with it

but my son does, so this is what I read to do. It took 10 days for me to see a

difference in pain. I buy the store brand or whatever is on sale. Go on line

to Sundown or Natural Bounty and see if you can print a coupon out for their

vitamins. I live in an area where we always have double and triple coupons, all

the time, so that helps.

Good Luck I hope this helps,

Thank you. Because I'm having pain the book suggests I take 7.5 grams a day so

with 1,000 mg tables I would take at least 7 a day and back off from there when

things are under control. I'm going to give it a shot and see what happens. It

also says that once the inflammation is under control to take a maintenance dose

of 2-3 pills a day. I'm going to pick some up tomorrow, I'll let you know what

happens. High doses of fish oil can't harm you can it? Wouldn't it be like

eating a ton of fish?

Hi ,

My knee was so painful I couldn't walk. One think I love to do and try to do

everyday is walking. My friend who is great about vitamins told me to take fish

oil. Within ten days of starting to take it, I was back out walking. My doctor

suggested I take it twice a day to help with cholesterol. Which I do if I

remember the second time.

Hope you have luck with it.

I take it twice a day also to help with cholesterol. I don't know if it

does anything for my RA or not. I just take the kind that WalMart has.

We buy or fish oil capsules at Sam's Club. Costco probably has them

also. Sam's version leaves no fishy taste. Right now I am only taking

one 1000mg capsule per day. Maybe should take another one to help

with my cholesterol.

Also, what kind are you taking and where do you buy it? I've been

reading the Anti inflammation Zone and he's kind of making it seem

that the ones you would get most places are unacceptable even though

they are tested for mercury and purified. I'm really wanting to try

this s was just curious if it's helped anyone here.

I take a high dose for cholesterol + inflamation and it works for me. (9,000 mg

- I break it down to 3 times a day) I get mine at Sam's. My RA doc suggested

the high dose as it helps some people with inflamation. Ask your doctor first -

don't try it on your own. It has helped my cholesterol to the point where I

don't have to take a RX for it.

Thanks. I saw my gastro yesterday and he referred me to an RA. So I will wait to

see him before I add anything. I also have to stop my ibuprofren so will just

use pain meds when it's bad to help until I see him.

Hi,

My naturopath recommends Nordic Naturals Arctic Cod Liver Oil, because it is

pharmaceutical grade, and has been 3rd party tested for heavy metals,

dioxins, and PCBs. I don't think she has any financial interest. Here in

Massachusetts, it cost me $21.95 for 8 fluid ounces.

Hope that's helpful.

Fish oil can be found at most health food stores and even at Walmart

near their pharmacy. You can find regular fish oil, made mostly from

anchovy, but I've heard it is not nearly as effective as cod liver

oil or even better, salmon oil. I take salmon oil as a regular

supplement for my RA, based on the recommendations of " Prescription

for Nutritional Healing " by Phyllis and Balch. Aside from

being good for your heart and cholesterol, fish oil increases

production of anti-inflammatory prostaglandins. It is also known to

slow the onset of fatigue. Over a dozen studies have shown that

taking large amounts of Fish oil (2.5 to 5 grams a day) can mean

fewer tender or swollen joints and reduce morning stiffness.

I have a question. I have a hard time getting the archieve messages. But my

son is on 2 Pro EFA and one Pro EFA, we have seen some gains, now. Last time

adding the EFA didnt seem to do much but I don't think he was on it long

enough. What is the next step as far as increasing the oils, more EFA first??

Does your son have any IgG sensitivity to soy products? Plenty of the fish oils

do contain some soy. If soy is an issue you have to carefully screen a lot of

supplements. While some also may not CONTAIN soy directly, it can be as simple

as the capsules being soy based, too.

You all are so great for responding. I have been in contact with the many

natural health practitioners that have dealt with my son. We think he is

lacking Calcium and Magnesium. All of them are in agreement to work with this

for a couple of weeks to see if it resolves. He has other symptoms showing

signs that he is lacking these minerals and he has poor digestion. It seems to

have improved yet not completely. Will keep you posted.

I took him off the oils for 2 days and he quit talking. I started him up again

and he woke up the next day singing. That's a good sign!

Thank you all!!

Jane
