anyone getting nosebleeds from the O3.
No. But the side effects of taking the Omega 3 do include blood thinning, which makes it slightly more difficult for your blood to clot. If you are prone to nosebleeds normally anyway, then you may find you get extra, but the blood loss from a nosebleed is insignifcant. If you get lots of them, you might want to consult your doctor though, but it's not too much of an issue.

anyone getting nosebleeds from the O3.It's a side effect of too much o3 too fast. Did you get one?
yes, only had two so far, in the mornings of the last week or so, and i have actually upped my dose, maybe a bit to much, hehe! will probabaly get use to the higher dose in time. also had them while on accutane.
Sounds like it may be too early for me to tell but I think the fish oil thing is helping out.I've been taking 4800 mg fish oil daily (about 1.5 grams O3) for about two weeks now.
I'll keep you guys posted.
i typically avg between .4 and .7 pimples a day and within the last week Ive had maybe two really small pimples come out.

additional info
about 2-5 days into the fish oil trial my skin looked like garbage but Its all healed up now.
*I decided to try the fish oil thing because my skin showed signs of improvement in the days following eating fish this last spring.

I think I can say without a doubt my skin is much clearer as a direct result of fish oil supplement.
I've had like three minor pimples in the last week or two. My skin Is definitely clearer now than its been in a few years. :dance:

Great to hear about your results 🙂 It definitely does wonders. It's just a matter of time before it probably gets prescibed by dermatologists. I mean, they already have prescription grade fish oil, so eventually I know they will.
Thanks for the reply! Anyway another question is the blood clotting that I just looked at isn't that really bad for you? Or is that just an issue with the amount of omega-3 you take?
Check part 8 of the first post, there is this big quote talking about that specifically. Great read 🙂
so ur skin is almost 100% clear? what was ur acne like before?congrats on ur success!! i hope i can be as successful... i think its week 5 or 6 for me with fish oil. started seeing results last week... but as u know.. got a few new cysts from potentially the flax. i am on the fence regarding accutane but i dont want it because of how sensitive it'll make my skin and slow the healing time of my marks. i'll stick out with the fish oil for another 2 months at least first.....
What was the fish oil doing for your skin in the weeks prior to you seeing the results? I'm on week 4 as of today, but the only thing I've really noticed is that my nails are softer, at least I think they are. 😛
I wanted to go back to fish-oil but probably after I test out the zinc and other supplements. Anyhow I was wondering if I would be immune to the fishoil if I keep on taking it everyday?No, you can't be immune to it. It's a macro nutrient =) Not a drug, so you can't build tolerance. It's kind of like saying if it's possible to be immune to cookies... hehe. I hope you know what I'm saying.
I wish I was immune to cookies ... maybe then i would eat less of them!!!
anyone use this brand?

NdnRomeo... I have just recently discovered the Vitamin B5 thread. Apperantly lots of people are having great results with this. It clears up acne and reduces oil production. I'm guessing you knew this already. What are your thoughts on it bro?
Here is the link to the thread.
http://www.acne.org/messageboard/index.php...=15341&st=0
I'm thinking of ordering it, and taking it along with the fish oils. Is that a good idea you think?
Has anyone switched to or is contemplating switching to liquid fish oil??? Which method of taking it is cheaper in the long run??? I noticed that I'm about 75% into my fish oil bottle that I purchased just about 2 weeks ago. Considering the amount of fish oil we're taking, isn't it more convenient and less expensive to take it via liquid??? What's the dosage on those liquid fish oils, how do they taste and how much do they usually cost??? I'd like to know before I spring for another fish oil bottle.

I've also studied b5 in depth, I mean really in depth, as to why it works for some people, and why not others, and why people get side effects.
http://www.acne.org/messageboard/index.php...een+b5+fish+oil
It basically boils down to 2 things. DHEA control (which is just one androgen) and fatty acid conversion (essential EPA DHA GLA conversions). It does with fish oil does, but in a damaging manipulative way. Fish oil actually is superior to B5 for those reasons, that b5 covers only one major androgen, as opposed to fish oil which regulates all androgenic activity in the body. It also, of course, increases EFA's which are proliferated in your cells.
I tried b5 for a while, recently in fact, but I realized it wasn't the B5, but the increase in fish oil and antihistamines that were working best. While on B5, I became really dehydrated, and I had extremely odd acne come out of no where. Places where I normally would not get anymore: body/scalp. I stopped, and it went away. Same thing happened 3 times prior on each time I tried.
I hope the link to my thread provides more information on how b5 works etc.

For liquids: people use nordic natural or carlson's. I believe these are found at whole foods, or possibly online. They are a bit more expensive, but also easier to take since you can get in more EPA/DHA per teaspoon and you're done. With pills, it becomes obvious that you must take a lot. The quality is generally better with these brands, in fact, the best.
If you want to know more about liquids, ask autonomous, ayla, and ariventa.
With pills, it works out cheaper, but again you have to take a lot of pills. I use two brands: member's mark, and puritan's pride. Because the price is cheap. It works out for 6 grams a day, for a dollar a day. Works out best for me, and with 6 grams, the benefits flow in fast: like a car barreling down the freeway at 100 mph (hehe). But it's just a lot of pill swallowing.

Nope, haven't heard about it before. Don't know if they are trustworthy.

Thanks a lot bro. Now that I'm more deeper into the thread, I'm seeing many negative responces. I made the post after reading the first page of the thread which seemed to be posotive for the most part.... but anyway...
Best bet is to stick with just the fish oils. I guess if B5 works for you it is a more quicker solution, some people in the thread reported being clear after just two weeks. However some reported that after running out of the vitamin, and being off for a week or two that it took them to order it, they broke out really bad, then after finally getting the shipment, once they got back on the vitamin it no longer worked for them... seems really weird.

One of the reason people get clear in two weeks (yes it's possible) is because since each pill is 500 mg represents 5000% daily value, they take 10 grams which is 100,000% daily value. You can see how fast any deficiency is covered. Usually vitamin deficiencies, the healthy way, are covered in a span of months (much like fish oil or anything else usually works naturally). If it was possible to take 100,000% of your daily value in o3, you would be clear that fast, or even less too (lol). But we'd die, so we can't do that. But it's so bad.
And yes that's the other thing. If you go through the thread, from beginning to end (I did that one day), you'll begin to realize the success rate of people in relation to how many people actually tried, not so much. And also like you said, they broke out badly if stopped or even while on it, and some stopped success when they continued.
And in fact, look at these threads:

It's scary what B5 can do. It's no joke, and when we get desperate we try anything. Even I have done so, a few times in fact, because I wanted to get out of acne no matter what it meant. Our patience often wears too thin. But B5 is dangerous, if you decide to try, be careful and remember it's not a permanent solution, as people who have had success, have often found it to stop working after a while, rendering it useless. I don't know why it's a sticky honestly if it's not a healthy alternative or practice. I would assume it should not be encouraged, you know?
Hope that helps. That's one reason I stopped, because I saw the possibilities of bad problems. And also because I learned how it worked and it boiled down to androgens, Omega 3 and EFA's again. 🙂 So fish oil is exactly what we needed. Like a safer, more effective B5, which works WITH your body's natural progress rather than manipulating it negatively.
^^ I'll take your word for it. I'll stick with the fish oils. Just as you said, the further I went in the thread the more negative reactions I saw... and not to mentions the side effects and the danger.
Fish Oils seems like the safer better solution... you just have to have the patience for it to kick in. Thanks a lot again!

Anytime, and you're right, the patience just drives you crazy. But as long as you stay focused and have a pretty hefty net gain of o3 a day, things will turn your way much faster :). Don't make the mistake I did the first 2 months by taking so little, no wonder only now do I finally get to see major results.

I'm up to 7.2 grams now. I take 6pills at a time 4 times a day. Should I keep increasing you think? I no longer get the dizzyness/lightheaded feeling that I used to get, even when I take 6 at once.
by the way, how much are you taking currently ?

That's fine, if your o6's are normal (below 3 grams), then this should be fine :). I take about 6 to 7 grams of o3 a day, but get roughly 2 grams of o6 a day.

I do eat some pasta, or oatameal 3-4 times a week. Those instant oatmeal packets for breakfast.. or a granola bar.... then for dinner sometimes mash potatoes with chicken breasts....
I avoid eggs, nuts, and of course milk.
I also eat a lot of tuna and salmon daily... so hopefully that balances out.
As far as the pills, when do you think we should stop increasing? 10grams?

Hm, I don't know about when to stop increasing, just be sure your family isn't susceptible to stroke. Read the part on side effects: part 8, I believe it is. It can get quite expensive to keep increasing, but I think where you are at is fine. Sorry I can't really give you a definite answer to that question. =(
i just worked out how much i have upped my dose, i'm taking 4 tablespoons of fish oil per day. that is 4500 mg (epa + dha) x 4, meaning 18 000 mg, i didn't realise i took that much because the label said 1500 mg (epa + dha) per teaspoon (5 ml) and i take 4 tablespoons (15 ml x 4). now i dont have to wonder about the nose bleeds that i got twice since upping my dose. other that that i feel really fantastic, the best emotional state i have ever been in. and as for my skin, it has never looked better in spite of the fact that i just had my period. i basically eat what i want to eat (generally healthy as i don't like fried foods). other that that i'm taking loratadine and zantac each day. i'm really starting to believe that O3 is a cure. however, now that i have worked out how much i'm taking i will rather reduce it to 2 tablespoons per day, amounting to 9000 mg.
Completely unrelated to acne I'm afraid, but hopefully someone can help...Do you know if O3 can help cure/prevent osteoperosis?
And info would be great 😀
OsteoporosisA deficiency in essential fatty acids (including GLA and EPA, an omega-3 fatty acid) can lead to severe bone loss and osteoporosis. Studies have shown that supplements of GLA and EPA help maintain or increase bone mass. Essential fatty acids may also enhance calcium absorption, increase calcium deposits in bones, diminish calcium loss in urine, improve bone strength, and enhance bone growth, all of which may contribute to improved bone mass and, therefore, strength.
I swear, omega 3 is incredible!
