bisco – I recommend Trader Joe’s time-release Vit. C. They don’t use any GMO in their products.
Have you been to my journal thread, lately? You can see my latest reports there. ;)
Re the shifting of the Omega-6 / Omega-3 ratio, this is just my impression. If you’re a hearty young person who gets a TBI at war, you only have to fix the TBI, and so you may see results of Omega-3 supplementation quickly. But, if you’re middle-aged and have had chronic health issues for awhile, I think 1) it takes longer for a shift in your 6/3 ratio to show visible benefits because – whether you do it by diet or by supplements – you’re slowly changing the balance of fatty acids throughout your whole body, and 2) there is a lot more to repair throughout your whole body.
All of that repair work is 1) effort, and 2) it may cause temporary problems along the way. For example, every time I updose on my Omega-3, I get some detox. That means more fatigue and more neuro and detox symptoms. Now, not everyone is going to have a detox effect, but I think other people who have been sick with something for a long time – whether it’s psych med-related or other – may have some similar “work” induced by shifting their 6/3 ratio.
It seems like this is the case no matter what treatment you try if you have been sick for a long time (no matter what the illness), especially if you’re older. The treatment inevitably entails some “work” and transition for the body, so there’s some sort of healing crisis / herxheimer / cleansing reaction.
