Fish oil supplements?

In the majority of cases I dont get why people arent getting these kind of things through their as opposed to taking supplements.

Supplements shouldn't be necessary on a day-to-day basis, but as a solution when health is suffering, they are excellent. It's the same as taking (eg) herbal medicines or other concentrated foods when sick.

Case in point: my eldest son started suffering from stomach ache and diarrhea. No fever, no other symptoms, and it pointed towards a gluten allergy. Stopped eating all forms of wheat and the symptoms went away. He's already allergic to milk in all forms, so this wasn't good.

Read up on caeliac disease in my Adelle Davis LET'S GET WELL book. She prescribed magnesium, Vit B6 and fish oil. My son took it for a week or so, every morning - result! He's back on wheat and all symptoms gone.



Now he's not taking them any more, unless the symptoms re-emerge.
