I'm at 4.8 at day right now, have been for a good while. I read on the last page you moved up to a higher intake, should I move up to 6.0 and see if I feel fine?
Honestly, yes, go for it. Try something like 5.5 first, then 6... just in case. If you ordered the brand I am using then it should work out to about a dollar a day, which is not so bad yeah?
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!

Here is a good overview of almost ALL the degenerative diseases a lack of omega 3 is linked to.
Defeat acne: defeat the rest, what a wonderful 'side effect'
Thank you for that!!!
It really is a miracle worker, lol 😀

If I was a fish, I would fear for my life. I think they are just asking to die with all the goodies inside of them.
oh fish, will you marry me? :wub: Your dull memory, your shiny scales, you forget my birthdays, you forget what happened just 10 seconds ago... I'm in love

Holy cow
$20 for 600 pills
400 mg per pill = 240 grams
240 grams/$20 = 12 grams for a dollar.
I would buy some if I didn't have 800 more pills to go

I'll add two more pills (.4 grams) to my daily intake. Thank you 🙂

I'm getting a touch worried about you now! Maybe you can take too much Fish Oil - perhaps the worst side effect is actually to turn into a fish!! Hahaha! Or maybe grow gills!! 😆 But when you're suggesting marrying a fish, maybe it's time for the straight jacket and a little time out!!
its funny how they actually say on a lot of websites that an overdose of O3 causes acne? the recommended dose being 3 grams.
I've never seen that, show me

Ndnromeo, you've at "80%" improvement for the past 7 weeks.Any increases in percentage lately?
As you can see that silly percent is not there and has not been for a while. I'm done with acne, now just waiting for any minor blemishes to clear. I do have two small flesh colored bumps. Though that isn't a big deal, it's just posted to note it accurately. I don't blot anymore, and can also get away with not washing at night. My skin is extremely hydrated and feels great, so does my hair and skin. My KP is almost gone from my arms, it's so tiny you can barely see it: like goosebumps. As it was a fatty acid deficiency, it was a mirror of when my acne would clear too and it's been right on track. I'm DAMN excited. Because summer school was starting and I didn't want to worry about this shit anymore, so phew.
What about you? :
I'd hope you'd actually post some pictures sometime soon. All this talk about you being done with acne but no proof. Interesting.
I will. But for conversation sake let's say I did or didn't, would it make you doubt all the information in this thread? Or would it affect you in any way of taking fish oil? How would that relate to you? It's also interesting how most of your posts to me are generally done to be skeptical of me, why the skepticism? Maybe it's because you think I'm lying and that I have some ulterior motive? :think: You know you can just say it how it is. Don't beat around the bush. 😆

I'm a tad confused by this post, Thomas ... What exactly does Romeo have to gain from lying about being done with acne? Do you think he's profitting from the massive Fish Oil industry that he's created here on the org? :think:
Some people just don't like to post pictures, fine by me. Incidentally, I'm one of them, and I'd say I'm personally about 80% clear right now too.
And if there WAS a way to get in on the Fish Oil profits, I'd be doing it right now!! 😆

Here's "how it is".
For as long as I've seen you around, I've seen you both take and rave about vegetable tablets, fish oil, green tea pills, and alavert.
Maybe you could say that you believe things to easily, and I don't believe things enough. That's just the way the way we are.
Now that that's out of the way, let's talk about "all the information in this thread". Half of this thread is made up of your posts. So yes, if you have no proof, it would make quite a difference in whether or not "all this information in this thread" should be taken to heart. And if you're referring your revised first post giving information about Fish Oil and it's connection to acne, I want to ask you. Didn't you have a similar post having to do with Green Tea Extracts? All that proof about how "GTE" relates to acne, but you gave that up too.
I will say that I do admire your fervor in the search for a "cure" for acne. However, the fact that you've advocated so many things only to abandon them later gives me sufficient reason to skeptical.

I'm going to chime back in here (sorry) ...
I think it's fair enough to be skeptical, but all the changing of regimens shows is that Romeo has been willing to try different things and abandon them if necessary. Let's take Green Tea ... GTE might relate to acne ... but if it didn't work for him, then perhaps that's why he'd give it up... it might still work for other people though. IMHO, this just shows Romeo sticks with what works the best *for him*.
As for proof, out of my own curiousity, would you require "before" and "after" pictures? I'd be willing to take some and put them up (if I can find my digital camera), but it's been packed away somewhere, so I don't have any "before" ones. Would that cause you to be skeptical?

Yup, if something does not work or hinder what is working, I don't take it. Green tea works, but fish oil works even better, sadly they interact so I dropped green tea. Continuing without green tea made me realize how it actually hinders fat absorption.
This is what I did, after finding out how it may interact, I took a test: I dropped it for a week to see how it faired, if it in fact became worse, I would go on it again. If it didn't I kept it off, which I did. But it also, on it's own, no doubt helps control androgens. But since fish oil did the same to a better extent, it made no sense to do both if they affected each other.
You may go to that thread and see as well. Proof with links and success stories for one person is in there.
Alavert is the same, it's just a safety precaution, it may be correlation, but in case it does prevent any acne due to an allergic reaction, it's covered. It may be a correlation, but I did find a big difference after taking it, but again, it may be a correlation. And guess how I will test it again? Yup, I will eventually drop it for a course of a week to see if it did in fact prevent anything from happening. If not, I won't need it other than to do what I used to use them for: the allergies that I have anyway. It's also important to note most of these "theories" are based on facts, as you that I back up with in each thread. It's something that has also worked for some.
I keep experimenting, trying, learning, and testing. That is how I got to where I am, and it keeps me learning on what really works and what doesn't, and how they interact with each other, and why. It keeps me aware of the reality of things based on the facts I find which back up what I am doing. I'm a big guinea pig.
There is 1 path to success (of mine), in which I have found a thousand failures. And now I am close to the finish line, what's left in my past is everything I have learned and accumulated. Each attempt that has failed, will and has always been based on significant evidence that it may work and has worked fully for some. Each failed attempt was a success to someone else, and in that reasoning was based upon facts that I found. Does that answer why I try so many things?
Don't worry, I can understand your skepticism, I would honestly not believe someone like myself too if I was someone else because of the sheer amount of things I keep trying and focusing on.
You will have your pictures eventually soon after I figure out the antihistamine relation (if in fact it is helping, or not, or if it's a correlation) 🙂 And I will send you a PM as well.

I never asked why you tried so many things, so let's not put words into my mouth. I think anyone who has acne has tried many things.
My skepticism steps from the fact that you frequently rave about things for a month, then give them up.

Again, the same answer goes, it explains, in full detail why I do it and abandon them. Which is the same reason why I raved about it and gave it up. Same difference, really, same explanation would come out of me. Don't know what else you want but I'm really tired now, so you can do what you want 😆 You may feel free to further complain or whatever you keep doing, but I've explained myself in full and have nothing to hide as this is a public forum and all my posts I've ever made are still there. I'll eventually post pics at my own will.
Just please stop posting in this thread just to be a troll, most of your posts in here are just to accuse me month after month in a different form each time. If you want to keep doing that, just PM me, I have no problem answering any real questions.
If you have any further complaints, or whatever they are called, feel free to PM me and we will discuss it there. If you actually and finally have a genuine question about fish oil, ask it here, but just keep clutter to a minimum, it does no one good.
Got to go out out, bye.

Romeo, I have a question. Isn't the entire point of taking the Omega-3 supplements to balance out the Omega-6:Omega-3 ratio? It was my understanding when the thread was made that if you tipped the scale too far one way or the other, it turned out to be detrimental instead of beneficial. Is this wrong? I'm asking because if I can afford to take as much Omega-3 as I want per day (~10g), without any negative side effects (including diarrhea, etc.), should I? Would there be any reason not to?

It's approved on consumer lab. I know it doesn't mean much, but the brand is good, I take it. The only issue is that it doesn't have tocopherol, but you can take 1 vitamin E per day and it will cover it. It works out the cheapest.

Yes, the point is to get to 1:1. And that is one of the reasons we tip the scale on one end to start is to get to 1:1 much faster. So let's say in a day you take 3 grams of omega 3 and you get 2 grams of omega 6... (3:2), if you are still at a deficit, it will take months of taking a 3:2 for you to actually get to 3:2 in your body. Know what I mean? So once you get satisfactory results, you can put yourself on a maintenance dose which is really low in relation :). That's the beauty of it, that the high doses are temporary. It's somewhat like dieting. Let's say you're 200 pounds. For one month, you eat like you are a 150... it will take a few months before you actually become 150, even though your diet is one of a 150 pound person 🙂
Got it? Hope that helps.
If you get diarrhea, it will only be in the beginning when you start taking it usually, not later as it builds up. There are some immediate effects of o3, but for those that prevent degenerate diseases, are ones that take time after your o3 levels are built up in your body.
