Just before I got (or rather was diagnosed) with bc, I started on the omega 3 bandwagon (and general health kick). Stayed with it intently and continue to do so. Well - I was a pretty bad asthmatic before bc but it is GONE now. I can do my runs and exercise hard without needing an inhaler. No more Advair (250/50). At first, my PCP switched me to Advair 100/50 but I don't need it. I still keep a rescue inhaler (albuterol) around because you never know. I don't know if it is because I am taking care of myself better, the omega 3s/mediterrean diet or what. I feel I am good to go.

I am a true believer in the balancing of omega 3/6 and applaud RB for his work on educating the site on this important aspect of our diet.
