I’ve been drinking cod liver oil daily for about a week now and it has done WONDERS for my skin. I had acne for years and it’s finally clearing up. My friend has the same problem and I’d LOVE if she could have cod liver oil as well but she is allergic to fish. Is there any sort of natural equivalent? Or would it be the combination of vitamin A, D and the Omega 3s?
What are the names of these compounds?

I think they are all fatty acids, but I’m not sure.
What is the balanced chemical formula for: lipase + lipid —-> glycerol + fatty acid?
P.S. the lipid / substrate will be a triglyceride molecule found in full fat cows milk.
Feeding Flax Seed to Horses?
Does anyone do this?
If you are, why are you feeding it?
Do you feed it the way it is, soaked or boiled?
I have seen most people feed it soaked but then I read this:
"Contrary to popular belief, flax seed doesn’t need to be soaked or boiled before feeding.
The belief that flax needs to be soaked or boiled before being fed comes from the fact that the seeds contain components of cyanide, which is toxic.
However, the two components of cyanide that are found in flax are stored in different parts of the seed, never touching each other, and therefore never able to create cyanide.
Any contact with water (including boiling or soaking) brings the two components together, creating cyanide — so the "prevention" to make the seeds "safe" actually is more dangerous than feeding them unboiled or unsoaked. (Note that saliva, stomach acid, and other digestive juices break the two components up before they could ever become joined and create cyanide within the horse’s digestive tract.)
Soaked is actually one of the most dangerous ways to feed flax, as the cyanide is created and left standing in the water and flax.
Boiling changes the cyanide to a gas form, thus removing it from the flax. However, it also destroys all the fatty acids, effectively removing the entire reason for feeding the flax in the first place.
Another consideration is that when you remove the lid from the pot, you are going to be the one ingesting all the cyanide.
Thankfully, the amount of cyanide created when boiling flax is very small…in fact, we take in more cyanide in our daily lives through our food, water, and the air we breathe than is found in a cup of boiled flax. Cyanide is also very quickly removed from the body and is not stored in the body tissues — so if you don’t die immediately from cyanide poisoning, you’re going to live."
Can you take Omega 3 supplements while also taking 81mg of aspirin daily?
I take 81mg daily for a high platelet count. I also have anxiety and currently take 10mg of citalopram/Celexa. I heard omega 3 helps with anxiety so I was wondering if I could take that as well as aspirin as they both thin the blood? I would like knowledgeable answers only please and THANKS!

Laurena,
Anti depresants only make you sleep like a bull and walk like a zombie. They create more problems than solving problems
