Not all oil is created equal. the omega-3 fat in salmon oil is something
that is missing from most modern day diets which instead have an excess of
omega 6 and 9 (found in the yoghurt, peanuts and poultry).
I also take mega doses of salmon oil--a minimum of 4 capsules a day from wild
salmon sources. Not for dry eye, but for cardio-vascular health, mood, and
anti-inflammatory for my MS. It also helps with dry skin in the winter, and
some people find it helps with "lubricating" their gastric systems (at least
one confession on this NG to that effect).
I don't think anyone can go wrong taking salmon oil capsules every day. Make
sure you get a brand that does careful testing and monitoring so there are no
contaminants.
And by the way, taking salmon oil doesn't make you fat. It's a healthy fat
that your body uses every day. It is not stored like animal fats, so a
comparison between fat grams doesn't mean much.
When monitoring fats what you need to be wary of are saturated fats and
hydrogenated fats--those fats that are solid at room temperature.
Also--very few people if any take salmon oil in pure liquid form. It spoils
very quickly when it comes in contact with oxygen (ie. when you open the
bottle). I do know people who take flax oil and cod liver oil in liquid
form, but they both come in capsules as well (which is much more palatable).

You are so correct, RT. I take salmon oily "mainly" for the
anti-inflammatory effects. Over the years I have had to up the dosage
a little to ameliorate the aches and pains of trying to maintain a
physically active lifestyle. One thing is for certain, I rarely have a
headache.
On a related note: I have a bottle of Udo's Oil Blend in my
refrigerator. It is a blend of various seed oils, predominantly
omega-3 from vegetable sources, but also has some omega-9 and omega-6.
The recommended dosage on the bottle is 1 tablespoon twice daily. As
you are doubtlessly aware, flax oil must undergo conversion in the
liver to the active forms of omega-3. Fish oil bypasses that step,
which makes it more potent.
If you keep making sense like this, RT, Ragnar is going to be very
hurt.

I always make sense. I just so happens we are in agreement here (and were
before when this topic came up about 1.5 years ago) so in this case it makes
sense to *you.* In our exchanges I've noticed that if you don't agree with
something at the start, it is impossible for you to see the other side of the
argument. It appears that whatever you don't agree with doesn't make sense
(to you).
BTW I couldn't care less what Ragnar feels about my posts--except when I'm
addressing him directly asking him to stop posting personal attacks.

Now you're not making sense. Please explain what you mean by that remark.

| Well RT... I guess the bottom line is that you are taking 4 capsules,
which I believe is equivalent to 1 teaspoon per day. That's twice the
normal dosage, but if you benefit from it.. more power to you. Now..
here is the thing.. Dr. Gemoules is taking EIGHT capsultes a day which
is TWICE the large dose you are taking.. And beyond that.. he has
mentioned in the past that he takes two TABLESPOONS a day.. which is
6 times your large dose and twelve times the normal dose.

| RT.. I really wouldn't put a whole lot of value in what Dr. Gemoules
says. I know you don't like my "meanness" but it becomes necessary at
times. Wait til you get a load of the post I will be posting later
today.. it's a doozy..hehe We shall see what a liar Dr. Gemoules is.
