omega-3

Avatar n tn one with ADHD/Aspgerger's, one with Oppositional Defiance and one that's just a typical boy. The Omega-3 has helped all of them with moods, concentration, impulsivity & better handwriting. The omega, in addition to a healthier diet, makes me feel like I am helping them get through life in a way that can be managed for the rest of their lives. If you teach them a certain lifestyle early, the hope is that it will travel with them throughout their adult years.
Avatar f tn com/weight.htm for more information. They suggest taking 6 CLA capsules and 4 Omega 3 capsules per day and no eating after 6:00pm.
Avatar m tn Kids will be kids and will act out. Check out your parenting skills and the way you discipline your child. Doctors are pill happy. Don't try any more medications, for the body has its own chemical balance and dependicy on a pill retards the body from producing its natural chemicals. Too many side effects in pills is more of a problem than the problem you are trying to treat. Try counseling for him and learn what they do and practice what they do. There is always an alternative to medication.
Avatar f tn I want to increase my fertility with prenatal multivitamin, angus cactus, vitamin E and Omega 369. Any side effects?
1655526 tn?1330655629 So im not crazy after all.. I have told doctors and other people that fish and omega 3 bother my arrthymia. Noone believed me but I know what happens and it isnt pretty. I stay away from it. I did find an article once that said its good for the heart but people with arrythmias it can make them go into life threating ones.
Avatar f tn I have talked to a lot of people taking statins and some feel no side effects and others get them bad and right away. I react very badly to them and got off of them several times. My sister reacted the same way when she got on them. One question to ask yourself is why to people with low cholesterol have just as many heart attacks as those with high...that's because cholesterol is not the total picture. Inflammation is.
403156 tn?1290150018 I read that Omega 3s can improve attention and so I decided to give them a try, no side effects. My attention span and ability to focus has increased tremendously. It is crazy how fast it worked as well (past 2 weeks). Ritalin did nothing for me in the past except make matters worse - so I gave up on ADD meds. The Omega 3 supplements have also improved my mood. I wasn't depressed, but I now feel like I have an added boost to my mood.
Avatar n tn I am having some pretty severe side effects from 3 years of Cymbalta use. I was prescribed Cymbalta when I was diagnosed with Poly Myalgia. I do think it took the edge off of severe pain and fatigue. ANyway, I now have a rash that flairs about 12 hours aftyer each pill, and I have had three kidney infections in the last 4 months related to not emptying my bladder completely. I think it is also from Cymbalta. The side effects peak together.
Avatar f tn While he was put on a regime of steroids he kept the side-effects to a minimim by practicing a low-carb diet and exercise. I know steroids are not good on the liver and increase the VL. When I was first diagnosed with Hep C I couldn't get a biopsy because my platelets were so low. I couldn't take the steroids because of their reaction with Hep C.
Avatar n tn I would assume they do get worse since the meds build up in your body. I have 3 kids ages 16,11,and 7. My husband and I have explained what to expect the best we could but I really don't want my kids to see mom sick all the time. My son just called and asked if I could drive him and some friends to the ice skating rink and I sadly had to tell him to ask dad.
Avatar f tn The EPA / DHA come from the omega 3 so it is important to know ratios of the omega 3 / omega 6 fat oils sources and compare the actual ingredients of the supplements. Omega 3 should have the higher amount then omega 6.
Avatar f tn Salmon, nuts, brown rice, oatmeal are good for the heart. Omega 3 is great for the heart. Fresh vegetables and fruit are good. Avoid processed meats and hotdogs. Diet and exercise can help a lot (more than most people think). Hope you are able to get your LDL down and feel good. Take care.
Avatar m tn Omega-3 supplementation lowers inflammation and anxiety in medical students: A randomized controlled trial. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.
Avatar f tn There is some evidence that a diet low in saturated fats and supplemented by Omega 3 (from fatty fishes, cod-liver oil, or flaxseed oil) and Omega 6 (fatty acids from sunflower or safflower seed oil and possibly evening primrose oil) may have some benefit for people with MS.Most of the diets that have been touted as helping people with MS have not been subjected to rigorous, controlled studies, and the few that have been evaluated have produced mixed results.
Avatar m tn Omega 3 oils by themselves won't replace statins. Doing this the natural way would require a complete program, including diet, exercise, relaxation exercises, and supplements for reducing cholesterol, protecting the integrity of the blood vessel walls, etc.
518994 tn?1212242047 I read where Omega 3 was good for your dog. Is it a different Omega 3 or is it the same that humans take?
Avatar f tn I take one to fight babybrain. Omegas are stripped from myelin shealths during pregnancy and since they act as lubricant in the conduction of, essentially thoughts, our thought process is slowed. I didn't ask my doc about it yet but it does clear up fog in my brain.
Avatar f tn I take my prenatal pill one times a day. And It has everything I need But No omega 3 an I heard to take it 2nd or 3rd trimester. Just don't remember what was said.
Avatar m tn I took an Omega-3 supplement for the first time before going to bed last night, and when I woke up one eye was very swollen and puffy. The only allergies I have had are seasonal. Could I be allergic to the Omega-3 supplement?
