krill oil

If you are trying to get the Omega 3 from them, you could also use a plant based source for it. I use ground flax seed every day, although you could also use the flax oil. I like using the flax seed, as it really adds a good amount of fiber to my diet!

Just a thought!

Flowergal, do you have a link for that? Or did you find it in his "Advance Topics in Lyme Disease" paper?

I've done a lot of reading on using Flax seed and found more information about it, but by the time I was done reading all of that it was late and my brain was too tired to post it all!

So, I'm going to track all of those links back down so I can post them, so you know it's not just me saying this stuff!

BTW - Burrascano was right to a point.

Hi Flowergal,
I'm so sorry it's taking me so long to post those links - life has gotten incredibly busy on me!

The research shows that as long as no more than 2 tablespoons a day are used, there is no danger to the thyroid. Links are still to come, but I promise I will get to it!

Something else I discovered though is that doses of more than 2 tablespoons a day also have the potential to interfere with estrogen.

With the issues of heavy metals and how hard they are to detox out of the body, and even harder with an already ill body, I was concerned about using fish oils, so that's why I started using flax seed.

For all who choose to use fish oils instead of flax seed, please be sure you are getting it from a safe source, one that says the oils have been through some kind of a process to be sure that they aren't laden with mercury and other stuff that we just don't need!

Well, once I had read that we weren't supposed to be taking the Flax seed, I just had to know why!! LOL!! It's always nice when I get to share what I've learned!!
