| Effects
Of High-Dose Fish Oil On Rheumatoid
Arthritis |
| A study conducted
at the Albany Medical College on 66
rheumatoid arthritis patients concluded
that the dietary supplementation of
fish oil improved the symptoms of this
disease. In addition, this study found
that some patients were able to discontinue
their NSAID’s (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory
drugs) without experiencing an increase
in symptom flare-ups.

| Omega-3’s
from Fish Oil May Ease Rheumatoid Arthritis
Symptoms |
According to an
article in “Arthritis Today,” a magazine
offered by the Arthritis Foundation,
there is strong evidence that fish oil
supplements with omega-3 fatty acids
may ease rheumatoid arthritis symptoms,
help prevent Raynaud’s syndrome spasms
and possibly may relieve some lupus
symptoms. The article suggests that
the American diet is overwhelmed by
omega-6 fatty acids found in vegetable
and cooking oils used in processed food
and we are likely getting too little
omega-3 fatty acids and others that
help reduce inflammation and improve
circulation.
