Re: Omega 3

Sara,

thanks, I'd love to hear more on this. I'm sorry my message was

probably not clear, the reason I said I would steer clear of EPO is due

to my son having epilepsy and when he was 2yrs I tried EPO and the

seizures were worse on it.

Hi Susie & Group,

The key is... Eskimos eat/ate - high fat/protein (very high in omega

3's) and practically no carbs. This article kind of sums it up...

Eskimos ate many different kinds of food. Eskimos ate fish, seals,

whales, and the other sea mammals. The Eskimos took the flesh off the

animal and cooked, dried, or froze the meat. In the summer the Eskimos

hunted caribou. The other animals hunted on land are polar bear, fox,

and the Arctic bird.

Eskimos used the the whole seal and walrus for different things. The

Eskimos used seal for dog food.They made clothes, and used materials

for making boats, tents, and harpoon lines. And for fuel, light and

heat, all of this is made of walrus and seal skin and fat.

Meat, fat and fish make up a large part of their diet. They didn't

have many veggies because they were scarce. They didn't waste any

food. But because they depend on fishing and hunting, hunger and

starvation is common when fish and game animals were not plentiful.

They live mostly on seal and caribou meat. They sometimes even ate

berries, roots, stems and other certain parts of plants.

I just watched a program on PBS this weekend and they said that the

Eskimos have the lowest incidence of heart problems and they attribute

it to the omega 3 they get. It said they get up to 14 grams a day. I

bet we don't get 2 grams a day, but I am not sure. We take two fish

oil caps a day, and I think they are 1200 mgs each.

It makes me wonder if upping the fish oil would greatly improve things

for us, or is it too late when you are older?

Anyone have any info on this?

Yes, Omega 3's help me with depression! I don't take anti-depressants

anymore. Omega 3's (fish oil) was suggested by my sister-in-law who

has a Ph.D. in virology. I hear that some of the cheaper ones are

rancid, so I use a very good brand. Costs more, but I don't need any

more problems going on in my body!

Beth, I take son brand.. might only be Canadian though. Look for 'natural source' and maybe 'certified free of all impurities' on the side of the container. Also make sure it contains a little Vit. E...that keeps the oil from going rancid.

I have been taking omega 3 for about 2 months now and notice a big difference. I took several antidepressants over the last 15 years. I got so they worked for about 6 weeks, then stopped. Even tried SAM-e (very expensive for the amount I needed). The omega 3 is the only thing I've taken that seems to help. I also take 200 mg 5 HTP (seratonin), but the omega helps the most. It just stops the mood swings and severe depression. I am much more on an even keel. I take the SISU brand salmon oil (blue bottle from Norway) and I take 6 grams a day. Now I need to find something for the anxiety. It can get pretty severe. I take green tea (theanine), but that doesn't do too much. Would like to take kava kava, but they made it illegal. Does anyone know a good remedy for anxiety that is not a prescription? I'm going to get some counselling for the anxiety, trying to learn ways or

behaviour modification to deal with it. Thing is, every day is different. Sometimes I just wake up terrifically anxious. Other mornings I'm fine.

Helen, Like you I don't take antidepressants. My body doesn't tolerate them. Omega 3 can be quite helpful..good for the brain fog too. :)

I also take 5htp - 50 mg twice a day. Maybe I should up the amount. Do you take the 200 mg all at once or spread out during the day?

Re your anxiety - are you getting enough B Vitamins and Magnesium (food and/or supplements)? Both help to calm down our nervous systems. It takes a while but it's definitely worth it.

I take 200 mg 5HTP in the morning, and another 100 at supper if I have had a bad day. I stopped taking it for a few weeks a while back and noticed I was getting more depressed, so I think it helps. I take B50 once a day and 4000 mg B12 (2 in the morning, 2 in the mid afternoon). This gives me a lot of energy and really does work. Also helps with balance. Maybe I need to take 2 B50? As for magnesium, I have just started trying to take extra for pain. 750 mg in the morning with calcium and 300 mg in the afternoon for the pain getting worse. Do I need more? Maybe you're right about the magnesium. I have not been so anxious in the last little while. Sometimes it's overwhelming. I used to wake up and immediately worry about everything and end up having a crying spell before I left for work. It's not that bad anymore. I can still get overwhelmed with fear

sometimes, though, and then can't face things. It sucks. The other thing I noticed with the omega 3 is that I can see better. I used to get blurry vision all the time, that my glasses didn't help. I don't have that so much anymore. Thanks for the tips. Helenpauline <foggynanny@...> wrote: Helen, Like you I don't take antidepressants. My body doesn't tolerate them.

I've been on Cymbalta for over a year now. I had noticed within a week my shoulder pain was 85% less than it had been. I was very sick to my stomach when I first started to take it. I can only tolerate 60mg a day and I have to take 30 in the morning and 30 at night. I can't take 60 all at once. But it has really helped shoulder pain for me. dixie1340 <missmagnolia2007@...> wrote: Thanks for a couple of you responding aobut omega 3. Then it not just "in my head maybe". I felt like it help my depreesion and you say it helped yours. I just can not take any antidepressants. Someone wrote in about Cymbalta. I tried it and it gave me more energy but I was so "drug sick". I went on the net and researched it and it is the new Prozac put out by Lilly Co. They said Prozac was very expensive when it

first came out and there was no generic form. But then a generic came out and Lilly started losing money . so they tweeked Prozac and called it Cymbalta. It sells with out insurance for $149.00 for a 30 day supply. Back making money again!!!! BUT if it helps some people that is good. But most people with fibro I have talked with ( and me) are very sensitive to any kind of meds and have to take a really low dose if they do take anything.

Thanks for your reply about 5htp Helen. Think I'll 'up' mine a little.

Wow, you take lots of B12! I take the B50 complex 3 times a day.

You take more magnesium than I do. I take it with my calcium like you but often add magnesium citrate (mag./malic acid) later in the day. I find it helps with sleep...sometimes. :) You might find that your anxiety problems get better and better as time goes on. It tends to take awhile for vitamins and minerals to work fully.

That's interesting about your eye sight.. especially the blurry vision. I've noticed that mine is much better in the last year but didn't know what was actually helping.

The neurologist I went to told me to take B50 daily and my foot doc upped it to 2 a day so I take one in the morning and one at night. I read somewhere that people who have neuropathy should take B50 because we don't have enough thiamin and niacin. B50 contains large amounts of both. Mine says "high energy complex" however I would not say it's given me an unusual amount of high energy. F <triviaguy@...> wrote: What is B50

I was taking 50 mg before bed but decided to take some more half way through the day. I react strongly to things and didn't want to be groggy in the morning. Others may be different though.

Yes, , Omega 3 is fish oil. Omega 6 is butter and I'm not sure what Omega 9 is. Eating lots of fish will also give you a good supply of Omega 3.

I have never found 5HTP to make me sleepy. It is seratonin. At night, we turn seratonin into melatonin which does make us sleepy. I take 6 mg melatonin at night and this worked until a couple of months ago. Now I have to add 10mg Serax (oxazempam) to get any sleep.

Hi, don't you have to take some food when you take the vitamins or your stomach will be upset. I gag if I don't eat with the B complex or get nauseated.

Re: Re: Omega 3

Hi . B50 is all the B vitamins in a dose of 50 mg except for folic acid, I think.

They also sell B75 and B100.

cymbalt and prozac actually are 2 different classes of drugs..prozac is an SSRI while cymbalta is an SSNRI (2 neurotransmitters are being regulated instead of 1).. the milnacpran that someone set an article about is also an SSNRI... though lilly did repackage prozac into a companion animal drug for seperation anxiety through ELANCO... liz dixie1340 <missmagnolia2007@...> wrote: Thanks for a couple of you responding aobut omega 3.

depreesion and you say it helped yours. I just can not take any antidepressants. Someone wrote in about Cymbalta. I tried it and it gave me more energy but I was so "drug sick". I went on the net and researched it and it is the new Prozac put out by Lilly Co. They said Prozac was very expensive when it first came out and there was no generic form. But then a generic came out and Lilly started losing money . so they tweeked Prozac and called it Cymbalta. It sells with out insurance for $149.00 for a 30 day supply. Back making money again!!!! BUT if it helps some people that is good. But most people with fibro I have talked with ( and me) are very sensitive to any kind of meds and have to take a really low dose if they do take anything.

warning: science content. the omega 3 vs 6 or 9 tells where in the fatty acid the unsaturation occurs which is dependent on the source of fatty acid... just if anyone was ever curious.... blessed be liz HELEN BROCK <jhbrock@...> wrote: Yes, , Omega 3 is fish oil. Omega 6 is butter and I'm not sure what Omega 9 is. Eating lots of fish will also give you a good supply of Omega 3. Helen in AZ <oriana_az > wrote: Is Omega 3 Fish Oil?

I got so they worked for about 6 weeks, then stopped. Even tried SAM-e (very expensive for the amount I needed). The omega 3 is the only thing I've taken that seems to help. I also take 200 mg 5 HTP (seratonin), but the omega helps the most. It just stops the mood swings and severe depression. I am much more on an even keel. I take the SISU brand salmon oil (blue bottle from Norway) and I take 6 grams a day. Now I need to find something for the anxiety. It can get pretty severe. I take green tea (theanine), but that doesn't do too much. Would like to take kava kava, but they made it illegal. Does anyone know a good remedy for anxiety that is not a prescription? I'm going to get some counselling for the anxiety, trying to learn ways or behaviour modification to deal with it. Thing is, every day is different. Sometimes I just wake up terrifically anxious. Other mornings I'm fine. Helen Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Mobile. Try it now.

it is normally better to eat something when taking vitamins as this gets the stomach started working and leads to the supplements being better processed and also less likely to cause an upset stomach F <triviaguy@...> wrote: Hi, don't you have to take some food when you take the vitamins or your stomach will be upset. I gag if I don't eat with the B complex or get nauseated. Re: Re: Omega 3 Hi . B50 is all the B vitamins in a dose of 50 mg except for folic acid, I think. They also sell B75 and B100.
