INFLAMMATORY ARTHRITIS?
    Fish oil may help symptoms at first but does not alter the natural progression of the disease. These diseases (Rheumatoid Arthritis) must be cared for by a rheumatologist.
 
 
INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE?
    Yes and no! Fish oil may help Ulcerative Colitis but studies show show no benefits with Crohn’s Disease. Once again, all patients with these diseases should be under the care of a gastroentologist no matter whether  fish oil helps or not.
 
BREAST CANCER?
    Some people will have a decreased risk of certain types of breast cancer

ALZHEIMER”S DISEASE?
    No! But people who took fish oil did show an improvement in cognitive function over the age of 65.

PSORIASIS?
    No
