Dude, Point to where I demonstrated ANY confusion in regards to the difference between omega 3 and cod live oil? I'm perfectly clear on their differences and have been for years.
You said that people shouldn't take "ANY" Omega-3 because they "interact" with 13-cis-retinoic acid. You didn't posted a single study or article that would support your claim, yet still you are advising people to stay away from Omega-3's. Most of the scientific studies, articles and personal experiences [including myself] show that docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid [found in fish oil] alleviate many side effects of isotretinoin [joint paints, increased cholesterol, hypertriglyceridemia]. So now we have science vs "Lamarr" and his "feelings" about Omega-3. Honestly? Saying that you are confusing people would be an understatement.
The point you qouted was in relation to how the body processes vitamin A and how they interact, not once did I say you get vitamin A from omega 3 (although you do in some brands). Go and read more carefully this time.
I read it very carefully and the only interaction between "fish oil" and 13-cis-retinoic acid could be hypervitaminosis A caused by vitamin A rich cod liver oil taken together with retinoid. If you have some other "alternative" knowledge then feel free to link us your studies and articles.
Borage oil does NOT act like a normal Omega 6, you need to do more research.
I didn't wrote a single word on "Borage oil". I was referring to Omega-6 PUFA's that "Futurescareless" suggested. And it's funny, because If you had done at least 10% of the research I did [on 13-cis-retinoic acid and EPA/DHA] then you would simply hang your head in shame and instantly delete your every post in this topic.
I and others who have experienced side effects post tane have learn't how our bodies respond to particular supplements, I was advising you that MANY people in the same boat as 'us' experience a worsening or completely new side affects when taking omega 3's.
I didn't experienced "worsening" or "completely new side effects" when taking "OMEGA-3" [btw. nice generalisation here, I'm guessing you took every omega-3 supplement on the market]. In fact, it was quite the opposite. My symptoms got much better just by taking a little over 1 gram of EPA/DHA daily. So instead of speaking for "us", maybe try speak for yourself?
you can either listen to studies based on the general population or take the advice of people who are in the same boat as you.
Exactly. You can either listen to some random guy from the internet called "lamarr" or read the studies, articles and listen to other people personal experiences. No matter what you decide, please don't stop taking your Omega-3's [often suggested by your dermatologist] only because some ignorant is telling you to do so.
P.s. this is why I don't hang around these boards anymore
