Larry Hoover has said, the last I saw him post about it anyway, that the mercury and other bad stuff is in the flesh of the fish, not the oil. I hope he's right. :)
> There are other posts to research here about dosages. Maybe that can help you decide how much is right for you. I don't think it could hurt to eat more of the right type of fish either.
I actually like fish a lot and could it 4-5 times a week (especially smoked salmon) but I worry about the mercury as I already have mercury amalgams. I was eating farm raised salmon until I read about it. Did you know that they have to dye it pink, otherwise it's gray? Because they don't eat what wild salmon eat. For that reason they also have less Omega-3. It's very frustrating that we CAN'T eat a lot of fish without all these pollution worries.
> I'm going to be starting the antidepressant, Cymbalta, soon so I'm not going to experiment with any supplements for a while. I want to make sure that I know how that is effecting me. I prefer alternative methods but I'm really under the gun here and I need to get functional soon. I'll probably hang out more on the main board for a while because of that.Good luck with that and we'll miss you.
