Here's a product that markets itself to relieve fatigue and lessen symptoms of brain fog; apparently ingesting omegas 3, 6, & 9, and DHA are important for your brain.
Why then, do these fish oil gelcaps seem to worsen my fatigue three-fold? The only idea I have in terms of why this is involves the lack of enzymes involved in properly breaking this stuff down.
Anyone have any experience and, more importantly, information on why this is the case? I would really like to benefit from this product.

Stephen,
Are you still treating for parasites? There is a brain/gut connection and the parasites hibernate in the small intestine.
Given the pics you posted back in 09 could be a good indication you are still infected. It can take several yrs to get rid of them and it takes constant and persistent tx.
Brain fog and fatigue are def signs you are still infected. check the symptom list at Humaworm.

I had a horrible time with fish oil. It increased my pain and inflammation.

The EPA and DHA are very low in that supplement. We were told to take a much higher dose.
We take 2126 mg twice a day.

I believe (just my opinion) when you have an opposite reaction to what most people experience on a supplement it is due to allergies to something in there, be it the main ingredient or something else.
even if you don't have an allergic reaction to fish, taking it every day may cause a reaction. in this case, I would question flax or borage oils too.
may want to try taking a fish only oil and see if that helps. I know I get achier when I take a fish oil that has a citrus oil in it... but I'm fine with a flavorless one.

Could be allergies, yes, also, most fish are tainted with mercury, so it could be the mercury causing that problem.
As an aside, that is a low amount. My amount has varied over time, never as much as faithful nor as little as that brand.

I'm not treating for parasites. I took a one month's supply of Humaworm in 2009 and what came out was in those pictures. My Doctor said they weren't parasites and I had them tested and the lab said they weren't parasites. Also people on this forums didn't seem to think they were parasites.
With the parasite testing so terrible, I haven't been able to find a reason on further parasite treatment when it's not clear if I have them or not.

Stephen, I remember seeing a post last year or the previous one (another member) who posted one or more obvious pictures of worms she passed and sent to a lab, as well as the dated FED X slip which indicated the lab. End result: the lab said she didn't have parasites. Either the lab had morons working there, or the test was fallible.
I cannot afford to count on tests to tell me what is actually going on in my own body.
Although societal norms are to listen and believe everything that comes out of a doctor's mouth, I've never bought that line of thinking (the majority only know what they've been taught). If I had, I never would have sought out lyme treatment.
I agree with Michael, it could be mercury from your supplement. I recently had some amalgams removed and my brain fog came back immediately (was gone). Thankfully, it passed.

Stephen,
The pictures you posted WERE PARASITES!! I have seen them early on when I was on antiparasitics. You were taking Humaworm and they came out.
It just boggles my mind when someone takes a parasite cleans, they see strange things exiting and they dismiss the findings.
They were liver flukes BTW. If you are still sick you really should consider going back to treating parasites.
Can't imagine that you would ignore this, but I have seen other people on this forum post pictures of worms after a cleanse and ignore the findings.
I took actual worms to a lab and they said they weren't parasites. Hard to believe this kind of ignorance in 2013.
I can only hope that you will treat this very potentially life threatening infection.

Gigi posted this on another post. Apparently if the parasites are dead, the labs say the test is negative (yeah right, they are still reproducing). If alive, positive.

Thank you for this. I went to Humaworm's website, it seems they have added many new products since I was last there. Do you recommend the standard Humaworm cleanse? I should note that the last time I did this, while it seemed to me that I was eliminating parasites, I didn't feel any better afterwords. That's why I probably dismissed it, as you say.
