A couple years ago I began experiencing some symptoms of RA, along with trigger finger and, of-late, pretty severe carpal tunnel in my left (I’m right-handed) wrist. Despite doing everything correct, I always suspected that I wasn’t getting enough omega-3. Averse to eating Fukushima, fish hasn’t been on the menu for a long time.
About a year ago I ceased wasting money on what I believed to be wholly placebo O3 supplements, began experimenting with different species NOT Pacific-caught (trout & Atlantic Salmon, almost exclusively) and began exercising a hypothesis about proper cooking temperatures for fish.
Until I settled on a baking temperature of 210 max (until ‘just’ flaky), I may as well have been eating expensive, fish-flavored chicken.
In the past few months, my RA pains have vanished, the trigger finger resolved and the persistent carpal tunnel symptoms in the left hand are almost completely reversed.
Again, the fish oil supplements (some of them rather expensive) were quite literally placebos (no effect whatsoever, vs. real physical effects from eating properly cooked fish within 48 hours).
True story, and another update to the book.
I can’t be so unique...MAs be damned.
Now if only I can afford to eat fish TWICE a week.
My wife has RA. How often do you eat trout & Atlantic Salmon? Fish may be on our menu...she loves salmon!
Thanks.
