OMEGA 3 is used against inflammation/pain in Lyme disease treatment protocols. Discuss with your doctor which brand is right for you. You can get 25% off on most top brands of Omega. I love Rosita's cod liver oil capsules in past. My Lyme doctor recently had me switch to the Omegapure 820. Both are seen below.
Per Dr. HOROWITZ...Preclinical research indicates that the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA can balance the inflammatory response in Lyme disease by impacting populations of immune signaling molecules. We recommend that Lyme patients consume at least 3-4 servings of fatty cold-water fish, preferably wild-caught, per week as a source of omega-3 fatty acids. When selecting seafood, use the acronym SMASH to remember which types of seafood are the most nutrient-dense and lowest in mercury – salmon, mackerel, anchovies, sardines, and herring."
"Omega-3 fatty acids (Omega-3s) are anti-inflammatory, improve the immune response, improve cellular membrane health and transportation of nutrients, and decrease blood clotting. Omega-6 fatty acids (Omega-6s) may do the opposite: boost inflammation, reduce cellular membrane transportation and thicken the blood."
OMEGA 3 and inflammation:
"New study finds fish oil omega-3s EPA and DHA work differently on chronic inflammation"
"EPA and DHA give rise to newly discovered resolvins which are anti-inflammatory and inflammation resolving."

"Animal experiments and clinical intervention studies indicate that omega-3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory properties and, therefore, might be useful in the management of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. "
"Omega-3 fatty acids are natural COX-2 inhibitors and anti-inflammatory agents, which suggests that they may help reduce inflammation in Lyme disease."
