You might want to consider flax oil, instead or in addition. I do not think you'd need high dose fish oil either. People with bleeding tendencies, or some other unusual problem like that, or use of blood thinners, etc would be a concern however. Over suppression of AA (arachidonic acid) may be harmful over the long term, but I don't think one can do this with foods or supplements. Some AA is important to membrane integrity etc. Too much AA is harmful. AA is a Cox-2 cytokine. Also prostacyclin is Cox-2, and this is what Vioxx and other Cox-2 suppress as well as other NSAIDs. But drugs are far more potent in this regard than natural substances. That is why Vioxx was so damaging. Some Cox-2 cytokines are important for healing, as well. That is why long tern use of NSAIDs undo the body, while suppressing pain. But Limbrel is a food basically, and so is fish oil. I wouldn't think you'd need 3 Lovaza a day with Limbrel. You could see results with lower doses of each.
