Fish oil beneficial for many health problems, incuding ADD

Just to re-iterate - Flax Seed oil contains omega 3 and is the source for vegetarians and vegans to use, and, of course, you don't get the heavy metal contamination that you do with fish oil.

Dear Jo--

Please, do a bit of research before making the statement you made in

this e-mail message. Creating unnecessary fear in people is never a

good thing to do. You don't get " heavy metal contamination " from

pharmaceutical-grade fish oil. That's one of the reasons it's

called " pharmaceutical-grade. " It is being used in high dosages by

numerous top-notch researchers and health professions around the

world to help with numerous diseases and health problems.

Second, small quantities (one tablespoon or less) of flaxseed oil are

good, but as you start taking more than that (which many people would

need to do to deal with certain diseases), the alpha linoic acid

(ALA) in flaxseed oil tends to reduce the production of gamma linoic

acid in the body, which is the building block of the " good

eicosanoids " . What's more, fish oil provides eicosapentaenoic acid

(EPA) directly, and EPA is ten times more effective on a gram for

gram basis than ALA for reducing " bad eicosanoids " . Fish oil,

especially pharmaceutical grade, can be used in very high doses to

help with numerous medical problems. Flaxseed oil cannot.

A good book explaining all the research that is being done with

pharmaceutical-grade fish oil is Dr. Barry Sears' new book " The Omega

RX Zone " He also explains the meaning and importance of good and bad

eicosanoids there. If you visit his website and look up flaxseed oil

(which he recommends in small amounts), you will learn in more

scientific detail why flaxseed oil cannot be substituted for

pharmaceutical-grade fish oil in larger amounts (Sears recommends not

taking more than one tablespoon of flaxseed oil a day, not nearly

enough to deal with many of the health issues that fish oil is being

used for today).

With my best wishes for a happy New Year!

I have a question.

Is fish oil good for ulserative colitis.

Can it be purchased in a health food store?

Are there any dangers to taking it?

Thank you,
