Good question. I haven't read the whole chapter yet. I'm basing what I'm doing on what my son's pdoc has told him to do. Since he also recommended this program I was assuming he took his info from the book.

My son's pdoc has told him to take at least 1000 mg of EPA. If you turn the fish oil bottle around it usually says how much EPA and DHA it contains. The ones I'm buying now have 640 mg of EPA per capsule. So he's taking two per day.

I'll look at the book today to see what Ilardi recommends.

I've read quite a bit about omega 3's. The experts seem to agree it's a ratio thing. Since the standard American diet is so high in omega 6's, we need to cut back on omega 6's at the same time we increase omega 3's. Processed foods and vegetable oils are full of omega 6's, so it would be best to cut back on those too.
