saw palmetto, elderly issue, subject area: anxiety, subject area: adhd, arachionic acid, public company, calories, media center, myocardial infarction, business services, audience: individuals, cuts and scrapes, fattyacid, big n plump , grandmother, news & media, heart & circulation, statins, cla, medicine, | Conclusions (reviewed as of 1/2006; still seem to hold): the evidence is piling up that omega-3 fatty acids do something, at least in some people; the dose to use osteoarthritis is not at all clear, osteoarthritis as some studies suggest you can go too high and lose benefits (Nevets, Sagduyu), whereas many of the individual glowing results come with the higher doses; even at higher doses, the risks seem minimal, and there may actually be additional benefits (on cholesterol, perhaps arthritis); however, it's a large number of pills, though a minimal-moderate expense; many patients report fish burps (try osteoarthritis sticking the pills in the freezer between doses, and take them with meals), rarely oily diarrhea, and no other bad effects; and finally it's also not clear how long you have to wait to see benefits, but especially with the smaller doses they may take 1-2 months to show up, so if you take them, prepare yourself for a period of taking a lot of pills with no benefits. |
Best Fat Paysites

She had to go back on a two-mood-stabilizer regimen to control these symptoms. I just saw her yesterday: she fattyacid is now on fish oil alone, at 0.75 grams of omega-3, and doing pretty well, far better than she did on no medications. She still has some symptoms, however, so we are trying a very low dose of a single medication to fattyacid augment the fish oil. If this result sticks, she would be one of my first fattyacid patients, over several years of discussing fish oil with most of my patients, to get to near-zero medications by using fish oil. And we have to wait to see if this result will stick. [Still doing okay as of December 2005]. That might give you some idea of the relative power of this approach, as best we can tell at this point: looks like it does something, but rarely enough to allow taking no mood stabilizers at all.] Notice the emphasis in the research studies on depression, versus bipolar disorder. There is a report of hypomania developing while on omega-3'sKinrys (and in the Harvard study as wellStoll), although whether the fatty acids were the "cause" of this episode is of course not certain. |
