There's a saying that mineral deficiencies are the root of all illness/vitamin deficiencies - or that all illnesses can be traced back to a mineral deficiency. I think that's probably true.
Nuts aren't high in omega 3 but in omega 6, and although they contain a little zinc, they have a high copper to zinc ratio. They are also rich in B2 which is important for the function of active B6 (I think that's right anyway from what I remember).
Are you low in copper? Do you focus mostly on eating fish etc and do you take a multi which is high in zinc and low or no copper? Because personally I find that I do actually need omega 6 and copper after years of focusing on omega 3 and zinc.
I would keep taking the almonds - sounds like a winner anyway.
