how long will it take for it to pretty much be out of my system?
I thought i read something about fish oil getting into yr spinal fluid.

Fish oil does not get into your spinal fluid. It can be transformed into other very important biological signalling chemicals, but it is not a bad thing. In any way.
I don't know what you were reading, but you really didn't understand something very basic about how health-promoting fish oil is. Deficiency makes people sick, not extra.

Actually, i didnt say anything negative about it--im just curious to see what the fish oil has been doing for me. I know that fatty acids dont just flush out of your system. But I thought that raised levels due to supplementation might take longer to lower in the, say, spinal fluids than in other parts of the body. Meaning, that they could have effects on the nervous system perhaps months after supplementation is discontinued.
Also, Ive read that fatty acids can change the brain structure (permanently?). Do you know exactly how?
