Anyone taking fish oil? How much is too much?


Posted: Jan 11, 2011

Anyone know about fish oil?  I have been taking it 2 gm a day for awhile, but been reading about autoimmune issues and inflammation.  A book on a Paleo diet suggests 15 gm a day to help with inflammation and this just seems like a lot.  I have gone up to 3 tid and feel better, but afraid to go higher.  Anybody taking this much?  I also take vit D and magnesium 200 bid and nothing else.

You should definitely ask your doctor before taking 15 mg of fish oil daily. - ...

Fish OilNov 09, 2011
I just found out that if you're taking fish oil supplements that do not say "mercury-free" on the label, you're doing more harm than good.  Makes sense.  I've been taking "bad" fish oil for years!  Groan! ...

Question About New FishMay 21, 2011
I just got a fish today.  I haven't had fish since I was a child.  It is one of those Siamese fighting fish.  My problem is this:  I just got a little fishbowl since I wasn't too sure how great I would be keeping a fish alive.  I have a cat who for the most part just looks in the bowl and watches the fish.  But my husband has watched him stick his paw in the bowl a few times.  Will the cat's paw contaminate the water?  Should I change the wa ...

Teach A Man To FishAug 26, 2012
Give a man a fish, you feed him for one day. Teach him to fish, you feed him for life. Destroy the economy and make him desperate enough for a job and he will gratefully work at minimum wage in your fish cannery for life. Destroy the public education system and you'll have his sons and daughters, too. Forever.   Quote from a friend. ...

Any Fish-cooker-uppers Out There? HALP!Mar 05, 2010
Here's the deal. I'm a part-time Mr. Mom. My wife and I both work and we split the household chores down the middle even-steven. Cooking, cleaning, whatever. We each take care of laundering and ironing our own clothes, etc. (It's the way I was raised by working parents, if you think this is odd.) So, the way our schedule works out, I'm off work earlier and cook dinner most of the time. Nothing fazes me except FISH, and my wife doesn't do it any better, but we bot ...

Poor Renal Patient Smells Like FishMar 05, 2013

I had another report today where the dictator had momentarily stopped speaking, and VR just threw in, "He was born skinny." ...

Besides taking the vacuum cleaner and sucking these brats up in the cleaner, how can I do this. Every morning bright and early, around 6 or so, they stand outside my bedroom door and meow for their breakfast. I have tried sitting out food late of a night so maybe that will carry them over until I want to get up and it is not 6 in the morning. I do not start my work day until noon so I try to sleep until 8 or so because I watch TV so late of a night. The nights my husband is home there is no prob ...

Taking A Survey On ObamacareOct 25, 2013
Has anyone tried to sign up for Obamacare or at least checked what their rates would be? If so, are your rates better or worse than what you have now? Were you able to get thru the website and actually get a policy? Have you received a letter stating that you will lose your insurance at the end of the year?  If so, will you shop on your own for insurance or use the Obamacare Marketplace? I've heard so many horror stories about the ACA.  Just trying to get an idea of what is ac ...
