>wow, I can't believe I started all of this. Fish oil? Fish oil is to help lower your HDL. If you think it is going to solve your health problems, you are investing too much faith in the advice of the person who told you this.<
>I don't need to present research in place of opinion. I don't use fish oil remedies. I eat a healthy diet including a lot of fatty fish. I have no use for that type of remedy in my life, therefore I really don't need to go further into the basics of what the substance does. It would be like me researching insulin when I am not a diabetic. I have a pretty good working knowledge of what the substance does and how it works at the cellular level.<
I think you have made a fine point, that you feel as though you don't need to do further research on the use of fish oil since it is not a remedy that you use. I also believe that research is very important, some research is good and some is not, and it is important for us all to develop critical thinking when doing research and looking at drug studies. However, many people on this board and elsewhere have had great success with fish oil. There have been many exchanges on this board regarding the studies that show that high doses of fish oil can be effective treatment for depression and bipolar disorder. That is what many of us have found through our research.In the world of psychiatric medicine, fish oil is not considered that unusual.
