Fish Oil is the closest thing that I have ever studied or tried to a
panacea (panecea sp?). I don't sell it. I don't know anyone who does
sell it. I have no axe to grind whatsoever other than to share with
people how beneficial fish oil it.
Cod Liver Oil is not so great if you want to take enough fish oil to
get some of the major benefits, because cod liver oil has too much
Vitamin A and Vitamin D.
Fish oil is responsible for making the numbness go away in my right
hand after sleeping on my right shoulder. It is responsible for
making my tendency for depression go away (depression in the face of
setbacks, rather than endurance and courage in the face of setbacks).
Fish oil is responsible for my exercise resistance evaporating
(exercise resistance is a symptom of metabolic syndrome). Fish oil is
responsible for a great improvement in my libido. Fish oil is
responsible for needing less sleep (down to 8 hours from 10 hours).
I did get a huge battery of blood tests before starting the fish oil,
so I will be able to report to you the changes in the near future in
my blood profile.
This site has what seems like endless and very readable studies
extolling the benefits of fish oil:
Every human body need fish oil, either by eating oily fish or taking
fish oil. Each person will be different in their needs: Some people
will do great with one tablespoonful of fish oil; other will need as
much as 3 or more tablespoonfuls. Depression is best handled with 3
or more tablespoonfuls. There is a tiny bit of diarreha (sp?) when
you first start taking it as the body starts putting out more of the
enzyme to digest it. Don't worry. That will go away. Study, learn,
and try it.
