Hi Dorothy I too use olive oil in cooking. Rape seed oil is apparently just as healthy for colesterol levels but perhaps not as good for the joints.

I take omaga 3 capsules from bio care. I had advice from a food nutritionist friend who suggested I take them together with selenium complex. Her siste also has ra so she had done some research on her behalf. I do not eat much red meat, but try to eat some fish each week.

I also sprinkle some ground flax seed on my cereals in the morning. I think that the combination of these does help, I do not have problems with my colesterol levels at all. Though I would certainly be unable to cope with out all of my ra drugs, as I've only just managed to get it under control, so I supose its debatable whether its actually helping at all! However I do feel pretty good at the mo. so will keep taking them in the hope that this good feel factor will continue!!

glad im not alone,my friend is feeling the benefits of oils already so i am pleased i helped, i use alot of herbs and spices in cooking and one treat i have is doing a stirfry i put in a teaspoon or how much i fancy of cranberry sauce,it is to my taste but makes a really boring dinner different,dont know if it helps the joints but tastes good,check out the flora i was told it is very high in calories,dorothy
