I read numerous papers, most of it scientific and meant nothing to me, I was just looking for a minute sliver of an answer.
Yesterday after hubby announced the monocytes had reduced again I shouted "it must be the fish!" and we both laughed and he said he knew I was going to say that.
But seriously, somewhere back in the bleaker days I had read something about monocytes and fish, I have trawled my Internet history and can't find the paper now, but since then we have smoked Salmon every week without fail. My husband wouldn't eat fish at all prior to this unless it was cod in batter.
So, whether it's the fish or just luck, or the yo yo effect his monocytes are dropping towards normal rather than rocketing in the other direction and if it is the fish I felt I should share, who knows! I really like Salmon and it makes my weekly menu planning so much easier. We have it baked in foil with a little butter and a fair bit of hot chill powder.
