Your conclusion does not logically follow from the study you have cited. For example, it could be that people with more advanced disease have too much damage to be helped by omega 3 supplementation, while it could prevent healthy people from developing more advanced disease.
I'm not saying the above is true. But it seems odd that you would make the claim that you did without the mountain of evidence that you seem to require of other medical claims.
