Fish Oil and Omega 3 Fatty Acids
Dear All, This is my response to Dr. Barry Sear’s Fish Oil, omega-3 fatty acid video. Thanks for watching! For more information on fish oil and what fish to eat, please check out my blog: bostonmedicalstudent.wordpress.com Here is more info: 1) For a general overview of omega 3 fatty acids, this is a good summary: lpi.oregonstate.edu This Newsweek article is also a good summary (it’s a shorter article): www.msnbc.msn.com 2) For my video, I relied primarily on: Lee et al., Current Clinical Applications of Omega 6 and Omega 3 Fatty Acids. Nutrition in Clinical Practice 21:323-341. This is the review article written by the faculty and doctors at Harvard Medical School. Other random, but interesting facts: “There have been a number of clinical trials assessing the benefits of dietary supplementation with fish oils in several inflammatory and autoimmune diseases in humans, including rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, psoriasis, lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis and migraine headaches. Many of the placebo-controlled trials of fish oil in chronic inflammatory diseases reveal significant benefit, including decreased disease activity and a lowered use of anti-inflammatory drugs.” From: www.jacn.org “As such, at the moment, there is some expectations of benefits and a reasonable certainty of no harm (from omega-3’s).

Yes, but you can get a pharmaceutical form of fish oil that removes the PCBs and mercury.
Your right. But Omega 6 naturally encourages growth of tumours and omega 3 discourages their growth. So omega 3 via flax or better fish ir well worth it. Buy a supplement that is tested for PCB, has them removed. Not that more expensive. Well worth it. Purchase grass fed meat, eat greens, walnuts, flax with it in too..
That would do me good at the moment, with gastritis, good advice. Water is allowed I hope?
my doctor told i would have to take niacin for the rest of my life, what do you say to that , will that damage the liver
Fish oil contain Alloy (metal) like mercury and lead plus other toxin. The best source for omaga 3 is “flax seed” or “coconut oil”. Fish oil will cause cancer and tumors over a long time consumption.
FISH OIL is SNAKE OIL……FLEX seed is a Excellent source of Omaga 3.

as much as modern medicine likes to deny it, food is medicine! true
thats why i follow traditional chinese medicine..natrual remedies and cures to simple problems without the harsh modern western medicines that destroys the body .
the chinese believe that food is medicine , thats why they eat lots of different things. herbs . plants, animals, weird things.
