Angela - In a nutshell, the fish oils do seem to help some people, but the active ingredient (whatever it is - gamma - leolinic acid -sp?- and/or others) is in a low concentration. The amount of fish oil you need to take to be effective, leaves you smelling like a fish (similar to the way eating to much garlic makes you smell garlicy; the odor seems to ooze out of your pours). This will probably be a problem until scientists tease out the actual active ingredient(s) and can concentrate them.
Hope this helps - Cam
