Lar, I am sorry, but you are clearly reading my postings out of context. I never discounted fish oils. My point was that I know what they do down to a cellular level and in MY LIFE an EXTRA fish oil remedy beyond my diet would not have any added benefits.
The point of my posting was to say not to have too much faith in one thing - don't put all your marbles in one bag. Consider all sources and their motivations. The doctor who promoted fish oils is no better than a pharmaceutical company promoting their product. Take for example bayer aspirin. Aspirin has few to almost no bad side-effects. The only thing that is not negligble is that some people don't digest it so well. Yeah, and some people are allergic to fish. The only thing about that doctor is that his product isn't as lethal as say phen-fen or serzone. But, his motivation is to make a buck. I am not saying that he is wrong, his research has some credit to it. However, so does the FDA mandated research of the pharmaceutical companies. They are all as equally biased.
