Even processed food today, is making an attempt to increase Omega-3
content! Today-- we went to Costco, and low and behold... They have a new brand of Chicken Nuggets for sale (bulk sales). Gone is Tyson ... In are Yummy brand nuggets, made with Canola oil containing 300mg of Omega-3 per 4 nuggets! Made in Canada! My husband uses these for lunch sometimes. And I used to take nuggets to work, but since not working, I have passed on them. These are new, and while a bit high in sodium (like most processed foods -- 450mg/4 nuggets), they are less sinful than other processed chicken. I see these as a good item for kids, who need Omega-3 foods and who like finger food. There are only 7 grams of fat in a serving of these new ones! --NO transfats, either. http://www.maxi.com/engproducts.html

I am bumping this up with a link to another thread here...that is connected.
It is interesting now, that eye doctors are recommending EFAs ... The product is expensive...but you can do the same thing at much less cost: http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread46796.html

Hi, Have recently been dx with ala - after three years of symptoms.
I have solved all chokingproblem by massage throat either side of windpipe for 30 secs - then I can swallow all my medication and drink with no problem. I have also found that nibbling walnuts throughout the day seems helpful in keeping my speech close to normal |

I have supplemented with EFA for years - and also eat fish, avocadoes, cold pressed extra virgin olive oil. I alternate between Fish Oil and Linseed oil for my Omega 3, 6, 9 intake.
I was taking Magnesium as an Amino Acid Chelate but can no longer swallow such huge tablets. I found a capsule that contains Magnesium complex ( Magnesium orotate 150mcg. magnesium aspartate 150mcg and magnesium oxide 170mcg - total magnesium 114.4mg, pyridoxine hydrochloride Vit B6 25mg, zinc (as gluconate) 3.92mg and Viburnum opulus (cramp Bark) ext equiv. stem bark inner dry 250mg) would be interested to hear comments. as well as ALA I have type 2 diabetes notwithstanding the fact that I have maintained a size 10 since my teens and I have renal failure caused by my mother not eating sufficient protein when she was carrying me. This leads to insufficient nephrons in kidneys. So supplementing is not easy |

This article is in our Health News forum today:

It is also present in eggs, and saturated fats. This is a pretty good article on AA from the Authors of Protein Power: http://www.opinions3.com/arachidonic_acid.htm While we NEED AA to some extent, it is the excess of it that seems to be the problem. Adding more omega-3 flax oil to the diet helps to reduce the overload of PGE2s. I am going to try the beef marinade that is on the Eades' website to see how it is. We have beef about 3 times a week.

I have a ? I take 2 fish oil pills daily which is 2400mg total. I still am suffering from severe dry eye/skin/and my pain from the rsd/pn. Anyhow at times I was taking flaxseed but now haven't been. Can I add more fish oil pills or flaxseed pills in addition to what I am taking or is this the upper limit the 2400 mg in supplements?

I think flax oil is best.
Fish oil is for reducing inflammation. The DHA in fish oil, does help with cell membrane repair, and also neurotransmitter receptors in the brain. Fish oil is a long chain fatty acid that is made from the Flax. About 20-24% of the ALA in flax gets changed to EPA and DHA in women. That means the 75% rest of the flax oil is used for something else. (other important things). The EPA and DHA are end results of the long chemical process using ALA (alpha linolenic acid) and Omega-6's which are essential, which are the first step. So in some ways EPA and DHA are limited in what they do for you.
