I have been taking BORAGE OIL for many years and doc says BINGO on my health !

Whenever I hear Dr. Berg speak about cod liver oil it takes me back to the days when I was in my 20's and worked as an Exhibit Interpreter on the L.A. Dunton at Mystic Seaport Museum in Mystic, Connecticut. I was one of the people that answered questions that visitors had - anyway, the Dunton was a fishing schooner from 1890-something, and the fishermen most often caught cod. They would filet them right there on the deck and put the livers into a bucket, and my job would always be to ask, "Do you know why they saved those?" The older adults would smile or roll their eyes and the younger people would always give me blank stares. Nowadays it has been coming back, but it is flavored and much more palatable. I think it is also available as capsules.

GLA improved my atopic dermatitis like crazy -totally cured it. Also improved my mother’s rheumatoid arthritis. This should be prescribed as mandatory supplement

I’m growing borage, I use it for asthma and thyroid. I have not been on meds for them in over a year.

Borage oil completely cured my cystic acne! I use Barlean’s Borage Oil 1, 000 mg. Started with 4/day (divided am/pm) until it cleared and over time decreased to 2/day. Miraculous! If I go off of it my cystic acne comes back.

[PhilipMcAdam]

Thank you for clearing up the Omega 3 and 6 confusion I was having.

[greenskeeper]

Thanks so much for this information. On my list for my next order. Have been using plant based supplements for years now. Borage oil will find itself in my regular routine. Only an extra .06 a day. At 58 yrs old, most mistake me for my late 40's. With 7 adult children and 11 grandchildren under 11, I plan on hanging around a while. Thanks Doc. for your life extending information.

[kerriscott]

[demi]

Eveving primrose oil is the only thing that cleared up the eczema on my hands ....a true miracle !!

[daniellesalinas]

Dr. Berg love your videos, so can you take Evening primrose oil along with Fish oil ? An what is a good amount to take of both ?

[mawkgrasper]

A bit of research I've done (yes I'm not a doctor) Omega 6 in large doses is great but it's a inflammatory and Omega 3 is needed to combat against the side effect of omega 6. That's why you need more Om'3 than Om'6 to regulate. I love your work btw but have heard others say this.

[josephinehiggins]

Isn't Linolenic Acid good for acne as well. ?

[easycooking]

Is primrose oil good for PCOS treatment?

[conniehernandez]

[nerisajimenez]

[bethanyephraim]

Thank you Dr. Eric, having seen your chart, I know now that I'm on the right track but would Evening Primrose oil help in weight loss? Would appreciate your feedback.
