I found the following story, submitted by a 50 year old man to the Dyslexia Research Trust, quite inspiring. Clearly, high-EPA fish oil may help at any age and stage…
C.W. has suffered from attention deficit– hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) all his life. He was already 50 years old when he first came across our research and […]
Although scientists don’t always agree on exactly why high-EPA fish oil is beneficial, they certainly concur when it comes to the signs of fatty acid deficiency:
Behavioral Conditions
Distractibility
Difficulty concentrating
Difficulty sleeping or staying asleep
Hyperactivity
Learning problems
Poor Working Memory
Emotional Conditions
Anxiety
Depression
Irritibility
Mood Swings
Immune Conditions
Frequent infections
Greater susceptibility to infection
Hayfever and allergies
Poor wound healing
Skin and Hair Conditions
Brittle nails
Bumps on the back of the […]
The following was excerpted from “Battling The Blues: Ongoing research shows that omega-3 fatty acids help treat depression”:
Post: Do omega-3 fatty acids continue to demonstrate mood-stabilizing benefits?
Dr. Stoll: No one has replicated the findings of our original study as yet. The real story now is that there are now numerous positive studies on the benefits […]
Researchers from Quebec and Ontario are studying the role of a specific fatty acid in treating major depression — eicosapentaenoic acid or EPA — which is largely obtained from omega-3 fatty acids found in fish.
The double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study of 508 people will be the largest “gold standard” trial of this type of treatment so […]
I strongly encourage you to educate yourself, take responsibility for your health and consult a doctor, if need be. Given the litigious culture we live in, I also encourage you to read this site’s Terms of Use before you finish reading this post.
There! Now I can get back to the subject at hand.

Researchers at Harvard University have found a nanomolecule, resolvin E1, which is formed in the body of EPA, a fatty acid present in fish oil. Resolvin E1 seems to be a potent antiinflammatory agent which explains many of the fish oil´s health effects.Epidemiological and dietary studies strongly indicate that omega-3´s provide tremendous health benefits for […]
In a perfect world, we would do just that: consume only organic fruits and vegetables, eat grass-fed meat and fowl, and dine on fresh, pollutant-free fish. However, in our industrialized world, we can no longer trust the purity of the seafood we eat.
In 2004, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration officially warned about the danger […]
A group of researchers from Israel has discovered that rats exhibiting the signs of depression have increased levels of the omega-6 fatty acid, arachidonic acid, in their brains. The details of their findings appear in the June issue of the Journal of Lipid Research, an American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology journal.During recent years, […]
You notice I continually refer to “high-EPA fish oil.” By this, I mean a fish-derived concentrate whereby eicosapentaenoic acid is its predominant component. Current research on depression, chronic fatigue syndrome and children’s behavior suggests that not only is it important to have a greater concentration of EPA, but it is equally important to have as […]
You may be wondering just what it is about EPA that makes it so special. Here I’ll do my best to explain:
EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) is a major component of fish oil. A long-chain Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid, EPA contains 20 carbons and 5 double bonds. EPA is also known as EPA; C20: 5n-3 and cis-5, […]
A few years prior to the publication of the Durham-Oxford Trial results, Dr. Andrew Stoll published The Omega-3 Connection. I discovered this book after coming across a few mentions of Stoll’s research on Dr. Alex Richardson’s Food and Behavior Research site.
