Hi Hermiracles,

Thanks for the post.

I have had a look at some of your posts and did not see much on Omega 3s and 6s.

You might like to look at the Greek Diet thread and show it to your Onc if he or she is receptive.

I posted the item below some while ago. It is isolated but thought provoking.

Some work has also been done on Omega Three infusions and various cancers. Infusions would arguably produce much more immediate effects. This is strictly unknown territory and I hesitate to raise it but in the circumstances how could I not.

There are also positive trials with Omega 3 and cachexia.

Omega three has synergies with some chemos. If you have any problems I will do some searches for you to see what I can find.

Clearly it is one for you and your onc if of any interest. I am not qualified and can only try and bring focus on research and papers.

I am sure everybody is very proud of the way you are dealing with this.

PS The link seems to have gone I will try and find another one. Here is a summary. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16201843 I cannot find the full trial which was online.

I post this with caution and trepidation.

It is one report only. I have not followed it up. At face value it looks like a very serious article.

It certainly is VERY thought provoking.

I would stress very strongly that if anybody with no other options is tempted it should only be considered in consultation with professional and with strong regular assessment and follow up - like everything else needs DOUBLE DOUBLE checking as to source etc.

High level fish oil supplementation has on occasions been reported to have adverse effects through excess circulatory effects, thinning etc.
