Hi Michele!

Res-Q appears to be a good quality fish oil, but don't know if

anyone here uses it. It's never been brought up as far as I

recall. The only formula of EFA I found was a liquid version of

fish oil and it was a pure Omega 3 -not an Omega 3 and 6 formula

which is what this group has found to be most successful in the

brand name formulas of ProEFA, Efalex and Eye Q.

Besides I like capsules better because 10X longer shelf life -fish

oil's most common problem is rancidity (fish and oxygen don't do

well together!) which is an issue for oil when outside the

capsule/no refrigeration necessary for capsules/more accurate dosage

with capsules.

One teaspoon of Res-Q is the dosage on the bottle -that would be

equal to around 5 capsules of ProEFA (minus the GLA of course)

775 mg of EPA and 500 mg of DHA

So a 1/2 a tsp. of ResQ would be equivalent to around 2 1/2 capsules

of ProEFA (again minus the Omega 6/GLA) We typically tell parents

to start at just one capsule of ProEFA -which would be a bit less

than a 1/4 tsp of ResQ. Run the following by your child's doc.

So, if you already own the ResQ I'd say to start with just a bit

less then the 1/4 tsp. and also purchase some primrose or borage

seed oil and mix that into the small amount of fish oil on the

teaspoon. So perhaps about 5 drops of fish oil to one drop of the

primrose or borage seed oil for that ratio. If you didn't already

buy this -I'd just try an already made formula's first so it's

easy. You can always do this mixing stuff later if you really

wanted.

ProEFA or the right formula is around this ratio per capsule:

150-200, EPA 100mg DHA, 30-50 GLA.

For those who want to know how to make fish oil salad dressing from

the ResQ website http://www.n3inc.com/index2.html

Just imagine your families and friend's surprise (shock) when you

volunteer to bring " fish oil salad dressing " when you visit their

home this Holiday season!

Cyndi, Dr. Lawrence talks about EFA's in his MS protocol. Have you seen it? If not, e-mail me directly and I'll forward the whole package.
