DHA?

EPA and DHA come from fish oil. You can eat several fatty fish meals

per week (the smaller the fish the lower the content of heavy metals,

like sardines and wild salmon may be ok, cold water fish have a

higher fat content). Supplementing with good quality fish oils is

ideal. We have found that Nordic Naturals has about the best

reputation. Try some cod liver oil or fish oil in very small doses

and gradually increase if tolerated. Take it with lecithin, to act as

an emulsifier. Some people also need enzymes that contain lipase (you

can tell if stools are oily).

One possibility would be to buy some emu oil and apply it to your skin.

> Why do we have to suplemet omega 3 while chelating,

Omega 3 is an essential oil that is extremely deficient in most modern

day diets (the exception would be someone who eats fish every day).

Omega 3 is fragile, and destroyed by mercury. It is essential for

brain healing, and is also an essential component of cell membranes.

When mercury is removed from the brain and other organs during

chelation the essential components for healing must be supplied or

healing won't occur.

Omega 3 is also essential for gut healing.

The ALA we use for chelating is alpha lipoic acid.

The ALA that is an omega 3 oil is alpha linolenic acid
