Lupus Breakthrough with Fish Oil
Dr. Stephen Wright, a researcher in Belfast, Ireland has successfully treated Lupus, a disease of the immune system that can be fatal, with low doses of omega-3 fish oil. Dr. Wright’s particular emphasis is on the deleterious effect of Lupus on blood vessels, and he sought to study the effects of fish oil to mitigate these effects. The results were very promising.
Patients that took fish oil, even at low doses, “showed improvement in blood vessel function and a reduction in cell damaging molecules.” Patients also reported far fewer incidents of “fatigue, joint pain, rashes, mouth ulcers and headaches.”
For his research on fish oil and lupus, Dr. Wright received the Irish Society for Rheumatology’s Young Investigator of the Year Award.

After I let the doctors have a blast pumping me full of medicine that really did nothing for me, I got off all the prescription medication and started taking fish oil and other vitamins. That was 25 years ago and I have never had a flare up. My blood work is a mess and drives the doctors nuts, but I feel great.
