Fish oil

[Guest guest]

Just some general info... My aunt, who is undergoing chemo treatment for ovarian cancer, stated that she was told, by her oncologist, to take fish oil for several benefits its provides. She said she takes a brand called "Dr. Carlson's". She began taking some other brand, but she found the belching unbearable. Her doc recommended the "Dr. Carlson's" and she no longer has problems with the belching. It's a good thing, too, because she doesn't even care for fish!

JD,

Good to hear.

I am eager for anything somewhat easy to add versus some of the other stuff

that might happen or need to be added.

Blessings,

On the topic of fish oils, I seem to be having a

good result. After I failed

two trials of URSO, I added and Omega 3 EPA DHA to

my diet. Labs prior to

this were 10X + the upper limits with or without

the URSO. My most recent

labs done in June all came back in a normal range.

I had only used the stuff

for maybe 6 weeks at that point. The hepatologist

took one look at the labs

in the hallway, yelled, and came in asking what on

earth I had been doing,

the labs were great. Just using a garden variety

walmart brand. Anyway time

will tell if this truly will buffer some of the

inflammation at this point

in the disease. I know 1 data point does not make

a trend.
