Does the guy have a real health problem, or does he just like taking weird pills. So far as I can tell from looking around at sites not plugging alternative medicine, fish oil is good for these things:
In patients who have had a heart attack, fish oil improves survival.
It reduces triglycerides.
In patients with high cholesterol levels it reduces the risk of coronary events but does not decrease mortality.
It reduces blood pressure slightly.
