how can getting this 1.5 grams of epa and dha into your body every day help with pain? >> a few years back, i took 250 patients who came into my office complaining of neck pain and back pain. all were on nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories, and i gave them and put them on a therapeutic dose of omega-3 fatty acids. and within six to eight weeks, 60% of the patients returned and were able to get off and get rid of the nonsteroidals, which we all know have very serious potential side effects. these include gastric ulcers and other major problems. so that for joint pain, i'm absolutely convinced, and i rarely use nonsteroidals in my practice anymore. as a neurosurgeon and as a triathlete, healthy aging is extremely important to me, and keeping my heart healthy, my joints limber, and my mind sharp are absolutely critical for me in my profession. >> that's impressive hearing that a neurosurgeon is no longer using nsaids in his practice for the most part. i'm a believer now. i already was, but i'm even more of a believer hearing about that study. we were able to catch up with you
