I'm think I've written it up b4 somewhere. I suspect your problem is to do with over wiggly cell membranes:-).. worsened by the fish oil!hypo as in hypothyroid people have this.. as do probably a bit depressed and fatigued.. so worsened with fish oil probably
also I strongly suspect that climate plays a Huge part.. tropics and hot .. dont need a wiggly, actually most prefer coconut oil and LESS oil there!.. just observing what people tend to eat, and my personal food preference in the heat as well!
Although , for me, i reckon I need the whole fish.. oily fish maybe , but the whole fish , not just the fish oil capsules... I enjoy sardines:)live in Canada like Lar..or better even ALaska,.. fish oil great to make wiggly in cold climate.. and would need the selenium and probably the iodine (although they get that artifically added in TOO big amounts) along with the fish oil.
I reckon if Lar moved to say Vanuatu he'd have huge change of heart on fish oil ;-)OK it's way simplified .. but its the idea..
just get your omega3's from green veges etc..as the balance these days is for way too much omega6's from a grain based diet..
so eat meat and milk from cows and animals fed grass not grains, eat greens oneself and get the diet back to what it once was in this wayand sorry Lar if you are reading this I don't have the energy or inclination to get the studies..but they are done somwhere I'm sure, well maybe NOT the climate comment, that's just my personal thoughts based on observation
