Dr. Stoll Fish oil vs. Flax

Dr. Stoll (the genius doctor who cured my sebaceous cysts 5 years ago:))

I had sebaceous cysts 5 years ago all over my face due to an awful diet filled with sugar, saturated fat and refined carbs. Went to one dermatologist after another, who all told me it had nothing to do with diet. Came across this website, changed my eating and started takinf flax and epo...voila, no more cysts!

Throughout the years I have had times where I have eaten too much sugar/refined carbs/fat (never like I did before) but enough to cause the occasional cyst. This happened over the holidays this year, so I resigned myself to eating whole foods again and came back to this site. In doing so, I read fish oil was currently a better choice overall and switched from flax and epo to fish oil (usually I just up my dosage of the former and get back to eating healthy, which resolves things)

I was on fish oil for about 2 weeks and had cyst after cyst...it was like how my face was 5 years ago. It scared me to no end. Went back to flax and epo and was clear again, and all cysts disappeared, with the help of hot compresses. I have been good for over a week...knock on wood.

MY point...did I form a dependency on flax/epo? Not that I care, because that along with proper eating has made me healthier than ever...but without them, am I uncured? I am only 25 and will be taking these seemingly forver..is this safe...my "stable" point is 5-6 flax capsules a day and 3 epo's.

Thanks...as always:) And you can read my testimonial in the efa's archives...or maybe sebaceous cysts....from years ago:)
