The source on this article leads to a commercial site, not a peer-reviewed article describing a scientific study. This is not science! The commercial site, which aims to sell you omega three tabs, sites a newspaper article. And the original science isn't shown anywhere. I'm a big fan of omega three supplements. I take them everyday and I find them to be a good treatment for my attention and mood issues. But I acknowledge that the scientific community has not reached any conclusions about omega 3. It takes years and many trials to conclude anything with science because of the peer-review system. Its this system that allows us to be relatively certain that the conclusions the we come to through science aren't being colored by wishful thinking and the desire to sell things. We don't know what omega 3 will do for lupus. As an health care professional, I would recommend trying it, since there are few side effects and the oil is likely to support health in other ways, too. But its too early to claim that its a "treatment" for lupus.
