Re: New update on my progress with fish oil etc...

Hey Loops,

The brand of fish oil I use is Carlson's (the liquid, not the capsules) and it already includes some Vitamin E. I have a bottle of Vitamin E with an eyedropper-type thingy that lets me add just a drop or two at a time to my fish oil- just what you were thinking of. I think it works quite well. Somehow I feel better about being able to control the amount of Vitamin E I am taking. Since I'm adding a drop or two of liquid Vitamin E to the fish oil, I'm getting a little extra Vitamin E, but less than 150mg per day. But I also try to use lots of olive oil on salads and veggies, and to eat lots of almonds, since olive oil and almonds are both high in Vitamin E and it is better absorbed from a natural source.

I was taking one or two teaspoons of fish oil a day, but I have decided to make a point of taking three teaspoons a day and see if I notice a difference. I guess that means I'll be taking three teaspoons of wheat germ oil a day:)

I'd be really interested to hear why wheat germ oil has this dramatic effect on energy levels. When Larry is feeling better I am going to ask him.

By the way, are you still taking vinpocetine?

Well once more, every time I do this, my skin seems to break out like crazy (even with 200IUs of natural mixed). Ah, I just can't win really.
