Richard Muenzer <r.muenzer Re: omega 3 solution Hi Donna It could be that the Flax oil was not truly cold pressed and would work against you. The only Flax oil that i am sure of is Barleans - one way to tell if flax oil isn't good is the smell. If it smells like paint (it is basically linseed oil) then Don't use it - it can be carcinogenic. This might account for your depression. ### Surprisingly it was high quality, processed in the dark, in low oxygen enviroment, etc. And it was in caps and I always chew caps so that I can taste it and make sure it is fresh and it was prestinely so. I have tried this several times and everytime, I get severed drepression, which is easy to recognize as coming from an outside source because, basically, normally, I am never depressed. So it was easy to figure out what was doing it. And Borage was the worst. In two days I felt like killing myself. It was really bizarre. Since then, I have met a few others who have had the same reaction. So I just think they are not for everyone. Fortunately I do fine on fish oil. ### Most Fish oil capsules are mixed with vit. E for protection of the delicate omega 3 and 2 capsules of 1 gram ea. should be considered the bare minimum of omega 3. If you were consuming 50 grams of EFA fat per day then 10 grams of omega 3 would be required for balance. ### Sounds like I am way under what I might need. I will try a higher dose and see if I notice anything. ### snip Even olive oil (omega 9) can be detrimental - it will fill in where omega 3 belongs and can also squeeze out omega 3. Your body can produce omega 9 so it is NOT a necessary oil. ### Wow, that is very interesting. I make soft butter by mixing raw butter and virgin olive oil half and half. I figured I was doing a good thing. Perhaps I will try plain butter for awhile. The best oil for cooking is coconut oil giving your body the necessary and VERY HEALTHFUL medium chain saturated fats. ### And I do have some virgin coconut oil on hand, so I guess I will use it. Ha. ### Is the buffalo meat from grass fed animals? If so you are getting one of the best meats you can get which will have a near perfect omega 3 - 6 ratio. ### Yes it is, so that is great info to have. ### snip The ideal balance of omegas according to this web page is 20% omega 3, 60% omega 6 and 10% omega 9. ### Well I am way out of balance here, I think. so I will work on that and report back. ## I know your body will definitely function properly at this balance but when omega 3s have been squeezed to less than 5% - the body literally goes to hell. And you get to support the American Drug Cartel and all their overpriced overeducated servants called doctors. Plus you will become a slave to their poisonous mind numbing drugs. http://www.thehempnut.com/nutrition.html ### Well, I am one of those people who rather die than take a drug, so at least I need not fear becoming a slave to their posonous mind numbing drugs. Smile. Thanks for your help, Rick. Best of health to you also. Donna Best Health to You Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
