Interesting thread!
Is ALA basically flaxeed oil etc?
Cause I started taking omega 3/6/9 supplements (capsules - 50% omega3, 30& omega 6 & 20% omega 9) with cold-pressed flaxeed oil (linum usitatissimus) & rapeseed oil (Brassica napus) & Common evening primrose or Evening star oil(oenothera biennis) & vitamin E - & it really made me go bonkers!!
I had sorta bad symptoms with fish oil before.. & magnesium/zinc/calcium/copper/manganese/viatmin D supplement - partly good, partly bad.. I felt better, but there was this weird pressure on my eyes... especially when I took both fish oil & supplement... & it got even worse with the 'green oil'... (& with or without a different magnesium supplement..) I mean, the brainfog, feeling 'off' generally... & the eye pressure.. & especially the photosensitivity/sensitivity to light..
& nobody in the pharmacy had a clue about this, why it could happen!!
I only got a clue on this forum after I read some people got really bad reactions to ALA, & that flaxeed oil might be ALA-??
Is this sorta typical? I still have 3 amalgam fillings in my teeth.. One was removed about a month ago..
I read here http://home.earthlink.net/~moriam/Andy_dose_sched.html that for ALA you must wait for at least 3 months before chelating... (or using it in general?) - so could this be it?
So if you still have amalgams you shouldn't take ALA/flaxeed oil at all-??
But I thought flaxeed was healthy!! for omega3 etc-??!!
Does anyone know more on this?
Also, Bex, you say you eat a lot of meat etc. I started eating more meat on the anti-candida diet too.. & even when I stopped the anti-candida diet & started supplementing more, & when I stopped supplementing & just try to get enough magnesium & zinc & B12 etc with food - meat etc. It really helps with hyperacusis (sound sensitivity) & the moods.. to eat it maybe 3 times a week at least.. (not every day, cause then I go iffy too..) Though too much meat, especially beef or so (or pork, if in excess) will give me back pain!! aargh!!
But then I read recently that Russ says meat & food with sulphur is bad-?? - what to eat then??
I did notice that I felt way worse after too much garlic (eg 3 cloves in one day, one could go okay in salad or sauerkraut or such..) He also mentions food like avocado or brocolli as having too much sulphur - or did I read that wrong?
I tried to eat more garlic because Dr Mercola says garlic binds mercury-?? (or something like that, & to eat it..) & the candidiasis forums said that garlic kills yeast-?
I already try to not eat sugar or sweets (with occasional slips/exceptions, mainly in the form of dark chocolate when not supplementing.. cause I'm still searching for the right supps..) & very low amount of fruit.. I was gluten free & dairy free for a while but my scoliosis went worse - without supplementing at the time.. & my family complained terribly.. & I was hungry a lot..
so now I eat some bread & dairy.. we get milk from a farmer but there is a PVC windows factory near-by OoO
Anyway, still trying to figure out things, find best supplements & best nutrition.. What do you all think?
