Is it safe to take omega 3 if you have had a duodenal ulser?
Omega-3 fatty acids are okay to take with an ulcer in the duodenum. However, it's better to get easier digestible omega-3's compared to other alternatives. One good option for easy digestion is krill oil.
Do omega-3 fatty acids raise HDL?
Most studies indicate that canola oil lowers LDL (bad) cholesterol without affecting HDL (good) levels. Canola oil is healthy & safe cooking oil .......
Which one is healthier for you Omega 3 and Omega 6?
Omega-3 is better than 6. omega-3 fatty acids are very important for our heart health, fish is the most traditional source of omega-3 but recent research says the green-lipped mussel oil from New Zealand is also a rich source of omega-3. Some brands like TURNER New Zealand doing a great job to provide this oil for our consumption in the form of capsules supplement. I can say it on the basis of my personal experience, I consume TURNER GLMO to fulfill my Omega-3 requirements.
Is it safe to eat salmon fish?

Is it safe to give fish oil to your cats or cat?
It depends on the fish oil. Salmon oil is an oil that a cat can benefit greatly from. You can also add a weekly treat of oily fish such as sardines or mackerel (best in spring water) as this will have the same effect. Salmon oil contains omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids. It is the omega 3 fatty acids that are so valuable in salmon oil. Salmon oil helps improve coat and skin quality and lubricate joints, which an elderly cat may benefit greatly from. It is advisable to use this instead of Cod Liver oil, as this contains a high level of Vitamin A which a cat can overdose on if fed too much. Salmon oil can be found in most health shops and can be added to the cat's meal a couple of times a week. Only a few drops are needed each time.

Does tuna make you smarter?
No. While tuna contains a small amount of methylmercury, studies have yet to find that such low levels found in tuna (especially canned "chunk light" tuna, which has the lowest of all tuna varieties), creates any symptoms of mercury poisoning, which include cognitive deficits. In fact, some studies have found that children born to mothers which consumed the greatest amount of fish and omega-3 fatty acids during pregnancy tended to have higher cognitive performance than their peers. This suggests that any deficit caused by mercury in fish is either negligible or canceled out by the omega-3 content. It still doesn't hurt to be safe and choose high omega-3, low mercury fish products such as salmon instead of high mercury fish with less omega 3s, such as swordfish and tilefish.
Is eating fish healthy?
Fatty fish also boast omega-3 fatty acids, which are crucial for optimal body and brain function and strongly linked to a reduced risk of many diseases (1). Fish is also a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are incredibly important for your body and brain. Another study found that eating fatty fish once per week was linked to a 53% decreased risk of neovascular (“wet”) AMD (28). Researchers believe that fatty types of fish are even more beneficial for heart health due to their high omega-3 fatty acid content. The omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D in fish and fish oils may be responsible. Unsurprisingly, many large observational studies show that people who eat fish regularly have a lower risk of heart attacks, strokes, and death from heart disease (3, 4, 5, 6). Some evidence suggests that fish and omega-3 fatty acids may protect against this disease. Several studies link omega-3 or fish oil intake to a reduced risk of type 1 diabetes in children, as well as a form of autoimmune diabetes in adults (19, 20, 21). Fish and omega-3 fatty acids may also aid other mental conditions, such as bipolar disorder (16). Studies show that regular fish consumption is linked to a 24% lower risk of asthma in children, but no significant effect has been found in adults (25). To meet your omega-3 requirements, eating fatty fish at least once or twice a week is recommended. In one study in more than 40,000 men in the United States, those who regularly ate one or more servings of fish per week had a 15% lower risk of heart disease (7). That’s because fatty fish, including salmon, trout, sardines, tuna, and mackerel, are higher in fat-based nutrients 2u.pw/SpeV5
What is the connection between fish oil and cholesterol?
Nearly every "x steps to lowering cholesterol" article recommends fish oil; either by consuming fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids and/or taking fish oil supplements containing the fish oils EPA and DHA (eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids). But why? Just what are omega-3 fatty acids and how do they reduce cholesterol? And who should consider taking EPA and DHA fish oil pills?What Are Omega-3 Fatty Acids?According to the American Heart Association, "Omega-3 (n-3 polyunsaturated) fatty acids are essential fats that your body needs to function properly but does not make. Humans must eat them through food, which means getting EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) from seafood, such as salmon, tuna, sardines, mackerel or shellfish, and ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) from sources such as walnuts, flaxseed, and canola and soybean oils. Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA, have been shown to benefit the heart of healthy people and those at high risk for - or who already have - cardiovascular disease. Research has shown that omega-3 fatty acids decrease risk of arrhythmias (abnormal heartbeats), which can lead to sudden death. Omega-3 fatty acids also decrease triglyceride levels, slow growth rate of atherosclerotic plaque, and lower blood pressure (slightly)."Is It Better To Eat Fish or Take Fish Oil Supplements?People without heart disease already should eat a variety of fish (preferably oily fish like salmon, tuna, mackerel, herring and trout) at least twice a week, according to The American Heart Association. Ideally, this should be in place of high fat foods, and as part of a low-fat, heart-healthy diet.Who Should Take Fish Oil Supplements?Eating a diet rich in omega-3 fish oils is important for everyone. However, this may not be enough for those with high triglycerides. For people with high triglycerides, the recommendation from the American Heart Association is two to four grams of EPA and DHA per day provided as capsules, under a physician's care.Which to take, Rx or OTC?Approved by the FDA to lower triglycerides, the prescription fish oil supplement Lovaza contains 465 milligrams of EPA and 375 milligrams of DHA in 1-gram capsules.Non-prescription fish oil pills contain far less EPA and DHA than Lovaza. Since these over-the-counter supplements are classified as food (as opposed to as a drug), they are not monitored by the FDA so may contain contaminants like mercury. Speak with your doctor about which is best for you.How Do Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Fish Oil Supplements Reduce Cholesterol?In fact, omega-3 fatty acids don't actually reduce cholesterol. Rather, they reduce triglycerides and lower coronary heart disease risk. The Discovery Fit&Health site's How Fish and Fish Oils Lower Cholesterol article explains that, "The omega-3 fatty acids, DHA and EPA, in fish are thought to prevent irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia), reduce inflammation and the risk of blood clots, decrease high triglyceride levels and blood pressure, and modestly improve HDL cholesterol."What About Fish or Fish Oil Contaminants?While it is true that there can be contaminants like PCBs and mercury in fish and fish oil supplements, the American Heart Association says the benefits far outweigh the risks. "For middle-aged men and for post-menopausal women, the benefits of eating fish a few times per week far outweigh the potential risks. As fish consumption increases, the number of fatal cardiovascular events decreases and the cardiovascular benefit increases. However, four specific fish species (shark, swordfish, king mackerel, and tilefish) should be avoided to minimize exposure to mercury. In addition, albacore tuna can be eaten but should be limited to six ounces (one average meal) per week."According to WebMD article 11 Tips to Cut Your Cholesterol Fast, "Fish oil is considered to be quite safe, but check with your doctor first if you are taking an anti-clotting medication."Everyone should strive to eat omega-3 fatty acid rich foods like salmon, tuna, mackerel, herring, and trout twice a week. The omega-3 fatty acids found in these kinds of fish (and in fish oil supplements) are especially important to battle high triglycerides and offer some coronary heart disease prevention to those with high cholesterol and/or at risk for coronary heart disease.
Is Amitriptyline safe as antihistamine for a dog?
Amitriptyline is an antidepressant per Wikipedia. There are two types of antihistamines, H1 and H2 blockers. H2 blockers seem to not be effective with pets. H1 blockers (Benadryl, Atarax, Tavist, Chor-Trimeton are the common trade names) have approximately a 30% success rate with dogs. That success rate is increased by taking other actions to help reduce allergens, such as giving Omega-3 Fatty acids, washing the animal bi-weekly, and by taking the same steps you would to reduce allergens for a human in your home.

Is acid safe?
Some acids are safe and some acids aren't safe. A few safe acids would be lemon juice, and orange juice. A more dangerous acid is hydrochloric acid. Though it is located in the stomach it is still dangerous without the proper protection.
