Weather Change
Hi B. & Daniel,There was a sudden drop in temperature on Friday and now my body is aching, sniffing away and just want to stay in bed as I feel very cold. I’m taking paracetamol. It helps but temporarily. Is there anything else I can do?

Hey ,
What we think paracetamol (or acetaminophen) does is that it blocks the action of an enzyme called COX-2 that produces prostaglandins. Research shows that DHA and EPA also help reduce the amount of COX-2. The fatty acid members of the Omega 3 family also help to resolve the inflammation.
Usually, with pain, I recommend a combination of Omega 3’s and Curcumin in pretty high dosages. I would often aim at 2x 1500 mg of DHA+EPA per day. With Curcumin I would advise you to use a phytosomal formulation (I find Thorne’s curcumin supplement pretty effective). I would start with 2x 500mg per day and go up to 2x 1000 mg per day.
Reducing Omega 6 intake would be effective as well. This is so that the enzymes needed to use omega 3s are not consumed to process omega 6s.
Another thing you can try is to keep yourself warm and see how that influences your pain. Take a hot shower or bath for example.

Hi D.
Thank you much for response.
Regarding DHA & EPA, I have it in liquid form. I will send you a pic. Not sure how much to take . I currently take 5ml once a day.
Never taken curcumin. Will try once gastritis is healed. I have taken tumeric in cooking, but very little amount.

Hey ,
That looks really good! I’m actually surprised about how well concentrated this fish oil is, so I checked it out and it this product has an IFOS certification (which means it is tested by a third independent party)
