Anon, one question I just have to ask. During all that time when you were eating rancid, encapsulated, extracted fish oil, did it ever occure to you to just eat more fish, maybe take up fishing as a hobby?


Well, I guess you could make the same argument for multivitamins. Why do people take them, when they should just eat healthier?

Apparently, the concentration of omega 3s present in the fish oil capsules is greater than you would get if you just had fish for dinner. I believe it is extracted and refined from salmon eggs. So I guess if you are wealthy enough to eat caviar every day, go for it.

I also believe that even people who eat fish regularly may still sometimes take fish oil capsules. Fish oil, like any other vitamin, is a supplement, not a replacement.

Doesn't matter for me either way. I don't take the stuff, since it didn't agree with me.

But if I could afford to eat sushi every day and have a more japanese diet, I'd love to. Although I would probably miss the beef. Actually, I probably wouldn't be able to stomach fish every single day. I can't eat the same of anything every single day, although I did come close with hawaiian pizza one time.

This is nothing new.

The American Psychiatric Association has been recommending fish oil, or equivalent, such as
flax seed oil, etc. for about 10 years.

For some it helps.

The research seems to be more positive than
reality. One just doesn't hear those with
a mental health diagnosis stating that "it
was the fish oil" that made a difference in
their recovery.

I wish it was a dramatic remedy.

Regarding a healthy diet. That is always recommended. There are enough mental people
eating perfect diets that one would assume
dramatic results. Again, sadly, no such
claims can be reproduced that diet alone will
cure or stabilize a mental illness.

That is an assumption that all fish oil
pills are made from a rancid production
value.

I don't think so ...

Yes, it is better to get any supplement
from its original source, but we also
need to be practical and any focus
on certain foods or additives must
be affordable.

Remember that the harmless Tryptophan
was produced unsafely by one Japanese
company and the FDA had a knee jerk
reaction and has permanently banned its
sale in the US. It is available elsewhere
around the world.

If the fish oil process was rancid, it
would have been revealed by now ...

Plus all those people affected by rancid
fish oil would be bitching pretty loudly.

No, I'm not talking about insane amounts of any particular nutrient or combo of them to treat an actual, organic problem. I'm talking about long term poor nutrition as an underlying cause of mental and emotional problems.

Why do healthy people take vitamin pills? I don't get it. I know someone who has to take them due to gut problems, malabsorption. But I think, for people w/ a normal, healthy physiology, it's far and away better to get your vitamins and minerals from natural foods. It's also cheaper.

BTW, you'll love this. If your diet is lacking in omega3 fatty acids, do you know what is the #1, best source of those? Cannabis seed oil. Hands down, there's no better source of available omega 3 fatty acids. Also, if we were allowed to grow the stuff in this country, it would be cheaper than any other source and require far less pesticides and chemical soil amendments. Traditionally, going back to the days before we outlawed the stuff, hemp was used effectively as a rotation crop for corn in what is now coal country.

Look people, there is no such thing as a chemical imbalance. I know that many of you will disagree with this, but face it, some people are just fucking nuts. Whatever happened to just being weird? Huh? I don't take meds, and I don't think that other people should either.

Would you deny a diabetic their medication then? How about an epileptic? Are you saying that an entire subdivision of science is a hoax? Neurological pharmacology and psychology are just a couple collections of old wives tales?

No, what I'm saying is that people need to stop depending on meds and figure shit out for themselves. Denying a diabetic medication is bad, but denying a depressed person their Prozac and suggesting they go outside for a jog isn't. People need to get over shit and deal with things. Tom Cruise is a fucking tool by the way.
