Fish oil substitute that is KOSHER and no shellfish - flax seed oil

[Guest guest]

Hello,

 

I've had a problem with my eyes being very

dry, even to the extent that I could not focus

on small print one morning (I couldn't

read the newspaper and I couldn't read the

monitor that well without increasing the font

size). I went to the doctor (Kaiser HMO)

and in addition to taking OTC wetting drops during

the day, he said I should start taking flax

seed oil to help my eyes work better at

lubricating themselves. I think it had to

do with the pores which lubricate my eyes

getting clogged. I thought it was interesting

that the doctor suggested this and not some

prescription or OTC drug. Of course, he is

both young and from India where I assume/think

that such suggestions are looked upon more

favorably.

Interesting, Gary. I take flax seeds every day, usually in my

smoothie. I don't take the oil presently, but I may at some point.

Gandhi was quoted as saying " Wherever flax seeds become a regular food

item among the people, there will be better health. "

I think everyone may have misunderstood. I am looking for a substitute for

taste, not health.

How about mixing some brown miso (1tbsp) with some liquid smoke (a couple of

drops) and toasted sesame oil

(1/4 tsp). Mix in some water to dilute it.

You'd probably have to play with the ratios. But that should give you the right

taste. You could also

experiment with vegetarian Worchestershire sauce (Wizard's Organic Anchovy-free

is the one I use).

 

Good luck!
