He does mention mercury and PCB contamination as one potential drawback with using average fish oil. That research is interesting, though I wonder if they are showing correlation or causitive effect. If Alzheimer's is a condition caused by brain degeneration, presumably there are several ways that this can happen. It is possible to get fish oil which has had these contaminants removed... perhaps this is more important than I thought. In his book he details several cases of literally reversing patients with alzheimer's disease back to full memory capacity & personality in months using an Insulin regulating diet and (clean) concentrated fish oil. If you're interested, I'll send you a link to the book, it's a good read. He> My s.o. has been ill for years with extreme pain, fatigue, and He> brain troubles.
