I am a full time Olympic weightlifter and I train twice a day six days a week, and I do not get hurt thank god!  I do have very bad tendonitis in both knees and in my right shoulder.  I will tell you the secrete on how to get rid of your pain, fish oil!  Not just a few but alot!  I took 20 the first day and my coach said to take 10 more everyday intel you start going to the bathroom bad, if you know what I mean.  I got up to 80 pills a day, dropped in back down to 30 a day for a few weeks and all my pain went away!  I was shocked!  Now that my pain is gon I do not take anymore and it has not come back.  Try this it really works!  I would love to hear anyones feed back on this.   jon north 2012

Jon,
That is some interesting stuff. Fish oil is well known to help with “inflammation” a broadly based term currently in the literature. But the effects on inflammation are so strong if taken in sufficient dosages that the scientific community is writing full review papers like the one below on it.

“Omega-6 (n-6) and omega-3 (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) are
precursors of potent lipid mediators, termed eicosanoids, which play an
important role in the regulation of inflammation. Eicosanoids derived
from n-6 PUFAs (e.g., arachidonic acid) have proinflammatory and
immunoactive functions, whereas eicosanoids derived from n-3 PUFAs
[e.g., eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)] have
anti-inflammatory properties, traditionally attributed to their ability
to inhibit the formation of n-6 PUFA-derived eicosanoids. While the
typical Western diet has a much greater ratio of n-6 PUFAs compared with
n-3 PUFAs, research has shown that by increasing the ratio of n-3 to
n-6 fatty acids in the diet, and consequently favoring the production of
EPA in the body, or by increasing the dietary intake of EPA and DHA
through consumption of fatty fish or fish-oil supplements, reductions
may be achieved in the incidence of many chronic diseases that involve
inflammatory processes; most notably, these include cardiovascular
diseases, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), cancer, and rheumatoid
arthritis, but psychiatric and neurodegenerative illnesses are other
examples.”

Jon,

I am not sure about the adverse health effects for someone in your situation. It is often mentioned in the medical literature for individuals that have issues with clotting and at high risk of stroke to make sure they do not take too much. Especially if they are on medications that affect the blood. 

I would think you are okay as long as you are not noticing any side effects. Of course you can always go to the doctor and have a blood test run after being on the fish oil for a long time and see if there are any adverse effects. 

The only other thing I can think of is to check with consumerlabs.com for the purity of the particular product you are taking to make sure there are no additives (like heavy metals) found.

Jon .. What brand of fish oil do you take?
80 caps?? that sounds like a crazy amount.. experts always rave about fish oil and recommend to take them after each meal, however 80 caps a day seems like complete over kil.
 
Hey. if it took away your pain then it was a mission accomplished but i would not do that on a regular bases..

Its cool to see some people trying some unconventional things like this.  I imagine it couldn’t be any worse to experiment, with this type of thing, for a  few weeks.

Anyone else have any experiences with it?

Fish Oil Reduces Insulin Resistance
 
“The Metabolic Syndrome is a collection of symptoms linked to heart disease and type 2 diabetes that include abdominal obesity, abnormal blood fats, poor blood sugar regulation, and high blood pressure. The problem is linked to genetics, overweight, sedentary lifestyle, and poor diet.
A study on rats from the University of Litoral in Argentina found that a diet high in simple sugars promoted insulin resistance and increased body fat. Adding fish oil to the diet restored metabolic health and promoted weight loss. Fish oil improves blood sugar regulation and reduces symptoms of the Metabolic Syndrome. (Nutrition, 26: 209-217, 2010)”

Fish oil is good for you.  Flax seeds are good for you.  You will be able to train harder if you ingest these things.  In this case, too much is better than not enough.
