I have an intolerance of fish oil. It causes overall inflammation, showing up mostly as headache and rebirth of an old healed wrist tendonitis. It is usually anti-inflammatory and pro-mood. For me, just the opposite...pro-inflammatory and depressing.
I think when it comes to all herbs, meds, or supplements, we kind of have to ignore clinical trials, ignore internet claims, ignore what consensus says should happen. We instead need to listen very closely to what our body is telling us. If your body is saying fish oil used to be good but now is not, then don't argue with it. Don't take it.
I took fish oil years ago and it was neutral. No good, no bad. I took it because it was supposedly healthy.
The body and life don't stay the same...things age, things change. What we were some time in the past is not the same as now. Things in motion changed.
A year ago a doctor had me take an expensive fatty acid profile lab test. It showed dozens of fatty acids we have. What really stood out was that, even though I had stopped fish oil months earlier, both DHA and EPA were skyhigh almost off the charts. Wicked imbalance compared to the other oils. When we take oils, I think that is something we tend to forget...it is not how much of something, but rather, the balance in the bigger picture.
