Use corn oil safflower oil and sunflower oil.to make these biochemicals if fish is abundant however .your body uses it to produce forms of prostaglandins and leukotrienes that are less .likely to cause inflammation .does fish oil really help control the symptoms of lupus.studies of mice with lupus that were given large amounts of fish oil instead.
