* When you microwave food in plastic containers
(including plastic wrap, the plastic trays that come
with frozen TV dinners, and even plastic baby bottles),
the plastic seeps into the food or beverage, and
produces carcinogens that give rise to a variety of
cancers.

* Commercial hair dyes, especially those that contain
chemicals such as diaminoanisole and FD&C Red 33,
cause rare cancers such as non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma,
Hodgkin’s disease and multiple myeloma.  One study
even claims that at least 20% of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
found in women is caused by use of hair dyes.

* Taking high doses of vitamin E supplements increases
the risk of lung cancer by 28%.  [This is according to a
study of 77,000 people who consumed 400 mg of Vitamin E
per day.  The risk is even higher among smokers who take
high doses of Vitamin E.]

* Granite countertops, one of the most sought-after upgrades in
residential housing, may be emitting dangerous levels of
radiation.  Although not all granite is radioactive, some of
the more exotic granite varieties, particularly the red, pink and
purple granites, have been detected to have dangerously high
radon levels, and thus pose a serious health risk.

* Canola oil, which has been touted as a “healthy” oil since 1986,
has been linked to high lung cancer rates in Chinese women
who used the oil in wok cooking.  Consumption of canola oil
has also been shown to cause fibrotic lesions of the heart,
CNS degenerative disorders, prostate cancer, anemia, lung cancer,
constipation, irritation of the mucous membranes and many
toxic effects, according to many nutritionists and biochemists.

No matter how many health scares you hear, you always have to
remember that the consumption of unhealthy substances, exposure
to dangerous chemicals or carcinogens, or even viruses or airborne
organisms are NOT the cause of disease.  Usually, they are just the
catalysts that bring about the real CAUSE of disease, which is
OXYGEN DEFICIENCY in the body’s cells and tissues.

In the case of viruses, harmful bacteria, pathogens or disease
microorganisms, they thrive in the body only because the body
is oxygen deficient at the cellular level.  Just like mosquitoes
seek out stagnant pools as their ideal habitat, but do not CAUSE
the pools to be stagnant – so, too, do viruses and germs seek out
their natural habitat (that is, diseased cells and tissues), but do
not cause the cells and tissues to be diseased.

There’s no longer any need for you to fear disease anymore
because there is a simple one-minute therapy which employs
the only oxygenating substance that stimulates the movement
of oxygen atoms from the bloodstream to the cells to a
dramatically greater degree than is usually reached by all other
means.  Therefore, your cells and tissues are flooded with
oxygen instantly, thereby rendering your body uninhabitable by
disease.

If you’ve ever worried that your past unhealthy lifestyle or
unhealthy habits (like smoking or excessive alcohol
consumption or repeated exposure to a toxic environment)
may come back to haunt you in the form of a terrible disease,
even AFTER you’ve changed your ways; or if you fear
getting diseases that “run in the family” or diseases that
normally occur as a consequence of “getting older,” you can
now cast aside your worries and fears.

The simple, extremely low-cost, safe and effective therapy that
I reveal in “The One-Minute Cure: The Secret to Healing Virtually
All Diseases”
http://scrnch.me/82ya4
is just what you need for ultimate freedom from disease.

Now, you might say, “Why should I use the one-minute
cure instead of all the other therapies I’ve heard about that
also supposedly cure diseases?”

That’s a great question, and I’m glad you asked.

First of all, I’m not making the claim that the
scientifically proven therapy I reveal in the book
“cures” any disease.  It simply brings the cells and
tissues of the body to an oxygen-rich state – and the
body then CURES ITSELF of virtually all diseases.

Secondly, I, too, have encountered an endless parade
of “natural” remedies, having been both an aficionado
and avid researcher of natural and wholistic approaches
to health for the last 30 years — and having even written
articles about them as a contributing editor for wholistic
health magazines and publications.  Just the other day, I
heard about a doctor’s “cancer cure” which involved
administering sodium bicarbonate to the breast or bladder
area via catheter, and claiming that 99% of breast and
bladder cancer is healed in 6 days.

Such claims may sound impressive until you consider
the fact that there are no other doctors, studies, or research
papers that corroborate those findings.  Therefore, the
doctor’s claims of curing cancer may just be a fluke
lacking neither scientific evidence nor information on
long-term risks.

In contrast, over 6,100 articles in European scientific
literature have attested to the success of the simple therapy
I describe in “The One-Minute Cure: The Secret to Healing
Virtually All Diseases.”  Furthermore, over 15,000
European doctors, naturopaths and health practitioners
have administered it to millions of patients to heal over
50 different diseases, including the “Big 3″ – cancer, AIDS
and heart disease.

Last but not least, the therapy has had a track record of
successful use for over 170 years, with no known risks
when used properly.

That’s why I’m able to stake my reputation on the
efficacy of the one-minute cure, and urge you to find out
about it before the enterprises, cartels and agencies whose
financial interests are threatened by it force “The
One-Minute Cure” out of circulation.

Get the book while you still can at
http://scrnch.me/82ya4
- and get a copy for everyone you care about, everyone
who’s presently battling disease, and everyone you know
who doesn’t have health insurance.

Remember, disease can strike your spouse,
boyfriend/girlfriend, father, mother, grandparents,
brother, sister, cousin, close friend – and anyone,
for that matter!  There isn’t a person on earth who
cannot benefit from the information in “The
One-Minute Cure.” Go to the website now and get a

Have you read or heard about DHA recently? Are you asking yourself ‘What is DHA used for?’ Here’s a quick guide to this most important omega 3 fatty acid to help you decide whether you need to include more in your diet.

Good for the brain

What is DHA used for in the brain? Most people don’t realise this but the human brain is made up of 60% fats, and approximately half of that figure is the omega 3 fatty acid, DHA. So it turns out that our brains are designed to run on this fatty acid.

Getting a good supply in the diet can help to reduce depression, anxiety, mood swings and Alzheimer’s disease.

It is particularly necessary for the proper development of the brain in unborn babies.

Good for the heart

What is DHA used for in the heart? It is used for making the platelets in your blood less likely to clump together and cause blockages.

It can also reduce triglycerides (the blood fats related to cholesterol), thereby reducing your your chances of having heart disease.

In fact, the results of many studies showing DHA’s heart benefits have convinced the American Heart Association to suggest that everyone can benefit from taking 100 to 200 mg (1-2 grams) every day as a general preventative against heart problems.

Helps to fight cancer

What is DHA used for in cancer prevention? It can help prevent cancers, such as breast, prostate and testicular cancer, and can slow the progress of cancer if it has already occurred.

Where does it come from?

Omega 3s are found mainly in oily fish. Fish such as salmon, mackerel and tuna are all naturally high in omega 3s and there are many recommendations from health authorities that you increase your weekly consumption of fish to increase your intake.

Grass fed beef is another good source of DHA and the other omega 3s. This is because the cattle you eat get the omega 3s through the grass they consume. Grain fed beef has much lower concentrations.

You can also find it in other foods such as walnuts, flaxseed, rapeseed and linseed but the concentration is less.

Unfortunately, our modern diet is usually lacking in DHA. Grain fed beef is often eaten more than grass fed and the Western consumption of oily fish is usually not high enough to get a good dose.

A word of caution

Although it’s a good idea to increase your consumption of fish, you need to be careful about eating too much fish that comes from contaminated waters.

By contaminated, I mean waters that contain high levels of mercury, PCBs and dioxins. These toxic substances become concentrated in the flesh of oily fish and can cause cancers and developmental problems in humans.

This is why fish oil supplements have become popular in recent years. They offer the convenience of a gel capsule, the security of knowing that you are taking the correct dose, and some assurances about the safety and purity of the oil.

But you need to be very careful about the supplements you choose: some are made from fish species caught in contaminated waters and some are less than fresh. You will harm your health, not improve it with such inferior products.

So, now that you know the answer to your question ‘What is DHA used for?’, do yourself a favour and increase your intake for your health’s sake. You’ll look and feel better!

If you would like more answers to the question what is DHA used for, take a look at the research and information on my website. You can also learn how to choose a good supplement and find out which ones I take daily myself.

Have you heard about the International Fish Oil Standard? If you’re looking for quality omega 3 supplements, you may have come across this organization. But do you need to worry about these so-called standards? What do they mean for you, the consumer?

The International Fish Oil Standard (IFOS) is an organization that rates fish oil products for purity.

Purity is assessed by measuring the levels of heavy metals, PCBs and dioxins. These toxic substances can be bad for your health, causing cancers and developmental problems, so it stands to reason that you need to be certain that the product you buy is free of them.

But despite this official-sounding name, the International Fish Oil Standard is a private organization that charges a fee for testing. If manufacturers pay the fee and meet the guidelines, they can call their products ‘pharmaceutical grade’, which refers to a product that has been highly refined to eliminate impurities and contaminants.

Unfortunately, there’s no globally recognized standard to define what pharmaceutical grade really means. Various organizations, including the IFOS, detail some standards that are really not very high so it’s actually a rather meaningless term.

What does this mean for you, the consumer, when you just want to make sure you get a supplement that’s free of contaminants?

It means that you will need to carefully examine the label of the product you want to buy to make sure the purity levels quoted are good enough. You can’t just rely on a statement that says that the product is ‘pharmaceutical grade’ or meets the International Fish Oil Standard, since we now know this is quite meaningless.

Here’s some hints about what to look for.

A quality supplement should state its purity level on its label in a Certificate of Analysis (COA). This certificate records the actual tested levels of different impurities and toxins.

The amount of impurities should be shown as parts per billion (ppb) and parts per trillion (ppt).

For example, the IFOS, the Council for Responsible Nutrition and the European Pharmacopoeia all allow up to 100 ppb of mercury in a fish oil supplement.

This is actually quite a high figure – it’s possible to find supplements that have less than 10 ppb of mercury.

So you can see that an omega 3 supplement that boasted that it was ‘pharmaceutical grade’ might have as much as 99 ppb of mercury!

Make no mistake about it – some marketers will push the International Fish Oil Standard as a measure of purity but you can easily find supplements that exceed the rather weak standards of this unofficial organization.

Most people don’t realize this but there are a number of things to eat, both animal and plant, that are foods high in omega 3. But some have more of the important fatty acids, DHA and EPA, than others. Here’s a quick guide to omega 3 foods to help you choose.

Omega 3 fatty acids are vital for the proper functioning of the heart and brain, and can help prevent cancers. But our bodies cannot manufacture them. We must get all the fatty acids we need from our food.

You can get omega 3s by eating oily fish, grass fed beef and eggs from chickens fed on greens.

Plant foods high in omega 3 include walnuts, flaxseed, pecans, hazelnuts and soybeans.

But before you choose foods high in omega 3 from these lists you need to know a little about which types of fatty acids they contain.

The most important fatty acids are EPA and DHA. These have the greatest health benefits and are the ones you need to target in your omega 3 foods. EPA and DHA are mostly found in animal sources, such as fish.

ALA is another important fatty acid. Its benefit is that your body can use it to make EPA and the DHA. ALA is mostly found in plants, such as walnuts and flaxseed.

But our bodies are not very good at converting ALA to EPA. It’s a quite inefficient process – it requires about 11 grams of ALA to create just one gram of DHA.

Depending on what else you eat, the conversion process can get even worse. For example, if you eat a lot of margarine, bakery products or fast foods, you will be eating a lot of transfats, which interfere with the conversion of ALA to EPA.

Your age can be a factor too – the conversion process slows down even further as we get older.

So it seems that the foods high in omega 3 that will deliver the greatest benefits for your health are animal-based products. Fish oil is generally considered the best source as it is particularly high in DHA and EPA.

But it’s not all bad news for vegetarians and vegans. It is possible to find some microalgae products (seaweed) that have been produced in bioreactors to concentrate and increase their natural levels of DHA.

Eating animal foods high in omega 3 such as oily fish is an excellent way of increasing your intake of the crucial fatty acids but people sometimes find it difficult to eat enough fish each week to get a good dose.

It’s not only quantity though – you need to eat the right kind of fish, such as salmon, mackerel and tuna. Unfortunately, these fish are often caught in waters that are contaminated by heavy metals, PCBs and dioxins.

This is why it has become popular in recent times to take fish oil supplements instead. The oil in the capsules can be filtered and treated to remove all traces of impurities and contaminants. You can take as little as one capsule a day and experience great benefits for your heart and general health.

By the time you finish reading this, you will have a clear understanding about how to choose a fish oil that is safe for you and your family. You’ll know how to find a supplement that will dramatically improve your health, not harm it. So let me give you the simple facts about fish oil purity.

What do we mean by fish oil purity?

Purity usually refers to whether the product contains traces of contaminants or impurities. It can also refer to the freshness of the product.

Let’s look at the impurities first.

The contaminants often found in oily fish are mercury, lead, PCBs and dioxins. PCBs are chemicals that can lead to behavioural and developmental problems in children, as well as cancers. Dioxins can cause cancer too, and heavy metals like lead and mercury can affect the central nervous system and the kidneys or liver.

Most of the oily fish we eat, and that are used to make fish oil supplements, are species such as salmon, mackerel and tuna. These are all excellent sources of the important omega 3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA.

Unfortunately, it’s difficult for manufacturers who use these species to guarantee fish oil purity. This is because these species are the fish most likely to contain contaminants.

This is for two reasons. Firstly, they are often caught in waters such as the North Sea, which can contain these contaminants. Secondly, they are high up the food chain, meaning the contaminants get concentrated in their bodies and oil because the creatures they eat are themselves contaminated.

So the type of fish used to make supplements can have serious implications for the purity and safety of the capsules.

Now let’s look at freshness as an indication of fish oil purity.

If the fish oil you take is not completely fresh, the oil will start to oxidise. When this happens, you increase your intake of free radicals, the molecules that damage cells and help to cause aging, disease and illness.

To test the oxidation level, a supplement should be tested in registered laboratories. What you are looking for is the COA (certificate of analysis), which should be freely available on the manufacturer’s website or promotional material. Two oxidation components should be listed: the anisidine value and the peroxide value. The scores should be as low as possible. A total oxidation score of less than 20 is desirable.

So how do you choose a supplement that can guarantee fish oil purity?

Look for a product made from fish caught in clean waters, such as the New Zealand fish hoki. This is caught in the Southern Ocean, which is largely free of contaminants.

The oil should also be molecularly distilled, not simply filtered. Molecular distillation is a complicated process which removes any tiny trace of contaminant that might find its way into the product.

Next, check out the freshness of the product by examining the manufacturer’s COA. If you can’t find a COA, don’t buy the product! Any good supplier should be prepared to publish the results of tests that prove the purity of their product.

So there’s some food for thought when you are shopping for fish oil supplements. If you would like more information about fish oil purity, please visit my website to see more of my research and to find out about the products I use daily myself.

Have you been wondering whether fish oil for kids is a good idea? After all, just because it has numerous health benefits for adults doesn’t mean children should take supplements too. But there is good news about fish oil for kids – particularly if they suffer from ADHD.

First of all, recent studies have shown that an increased intake of the omega 3 fatty acids contained in fish oil can be of great benefit to unborn babies and young children. Omega 3s are essential for the growth and development of the brain and eyes in babies.

Taking omega 3s during pregnancy can reduce the risk of having a pre-term baby. Also, the children of mothers who eat the most fish tend to have higher intelligence scores and better communication skills.

So the benefits for mothers and babies are clear but what about fish oil for kids themselves?

It has been known for some time that the most important fatty acid, DHA, helps brains to function and develop properly.

It now seems that children who have low levels of DHA tend to be more likely to suffer from ADHD.

A 2005 Australian study showed that children with diagnosed attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) who took supplements for 15 weeks had increased attention and reduced hyperactivity, restlessness and impulsivity. The children also performed better on attention tests and improved their vocabulary.

A 2007 US study also showed a marked improvement in ADHD children who took omega 3 supplements. In that study, a psychiatrist reported significant improvements in inattention, hyperactivity, oppositional/defiant behavior and conduct disorder.

So it’s clear that fish oil for kids can be helpful as a treatment for hyperactivity, as well as learning ability and general mood.

What about sources of omega3s?

We can’t make omega 3s in our bodies so we must get them from our diet. Fish remains one of the best sources of omega 3s because it has the two most important of these fatty acids, EPA and DHA. Other sources, such as walnuts and flaxseed, contain another fatty acid, ALA, which must be converted by the body into EPA and DHA. The process is not very efficient though, so fish remains the best source of these important fatty acids.

As with adults, children should not be given supplements if there is any known reaction to fish oil, or if they have a bleeding disorder or are taking anti-coagulants.

So, go ahead and give your child fish oil supplements if you feel they could benefit. Fish oil for kids is safe and effective at the right doses and you could be doing your child’s health and behavior a great favor.

Nearly everybody these days realizes the benefits of consuming fatty fish oil that contains high levels of omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA.

The experts are always suggesting we consume fatty fish 2 to 3 times per week. However when you weigh up all the issues — buying fresh fish to get these fatty acids may not be the smartest option. Let’s look at 3 reasons why!

1 – Trying to fit 2 to 3 fish meals into your weekly diet is a great idea providing you buy fresh fish and cook it yourself to avoid eating the fattening batter and saturated fats the take away food shop usually cooks the fish in.

What you want is pure clean Omega 3 DHA and EPA fatty acid not saturated fats that increase cholesterol levels and potentially clog your arteries, which may contribute to a heart condition or stroke.

Compare the above scenario to buying the best quality fatty fish oil supplements for a lot less money, knowing you will not increase your saturated fat intake, while reducing your triglyceride level which helps to balance your cholesterol, and at the same time giving you a dozen or more other health benefits.

2 – What about the cost — have you any idea how much fresh is these days?

You can buy a quality 30-day supply of omega-3 supplements for about $18, which will give you the optimal amount of DHA and EPA fatty acids you require on a daily basis. If my arithmetic is correct that works out at about $4.50 per week for one person.

Only a couple of days ago I bought 2 fresh fillets of flake (shark) for about $10 one for each person. Multiply that by two meals a week and we’re already up to $20. So to hopefully get the required amount of these essential fatty acids in one month you’re looking at $80.

Based on these figures it costs over double the amount to buy fresh fish.

3 – The final point I want to make is about purity and freshness.

Whether we like it or not most oceans surrounding America and Europe are polluted because of the amount of petroleum diesel and oils being spewed into the oceans from huge container and general cargo ships every day.

Naturally enough the fish in these waters are being polluted with PCBs, mercury and other toxins, therefore you have no way of knowing whether you’re eating polluted fish on not.

When you buy fish at your local shop or market you expect it to be recently caught and very fresh. Unfortunately the reality is — it’s more likely to have been bought from a wholesale market, and who knows where they got it.

If you’re lucky it may only be a day or two old — but more realistically it could have been sitting in some freezer for weeks or even months.

Make no mistake about it — eating fresh fatty fish oil is the best option if at all possible. However a more realistic, easier and safer approach these days is to supplement your diet with a top quality omega-3 fatty acid capsule.

Having been involved in healthcare for the past 14 years I have seen the consequence of heart disease and how it affects the patient and their families. I want to share with you a quick an easy way to help to you promote good coronary health.

I was on the Coronary Care Unit one evening and talking to a patient who ran a local convenient store.  He was in his mid fifties and had had a heart attack.  He had to work long hours to keep the store going.  It was stressful.  Small stores face big competition from large supermarkets.  He also smoked and was overweight. The man however, did have a positive outlook.  He admitted to me that that everybody kept  saying to him that he should know this would happen to him one day. He overworked and was not looking after his health.  What had happened  to him was a “wake up call with a need to change his lifestyle”.

He decided that he was going to sell his business and property.  The profit from the business and the living quarters would be pooled with his private pension, and savings.  His wife was in her fifties too and worked for a local doctor’s surgery as an administrator.  She had a pension and investments too.  They owned a holiday bungalow in Spain and had talked about retirement for some time.  He said that these plans would be put into place once he had been discharged from the hospital.  He was looking forward to sound advice and help to promote good coronary health.

One of the things that he also admitted was that he had to sort out his eating patterns.  Also he there was a need for a nutrition list to assist with him plans a diet.  During the day time he would grab a sandwich in between serving customers.  The sandwich he admitted would be supplemented by a packet of crisps and often with a pork pie or pastries.  He shared an evening meal with his wife but this would be around 8p.m.  Heavy meals at that time of night he admitted caused some indigestion and bloating of the stomach.

So this heart attack moved him to take a fresh approach to his lifestyle and a need to change eating habits.  He decided he needed to eat and drink the right kinds of foods.  The American Heart Association released its revised Diet and Lifestyle Recommendations for 2006 outlining the dietary steps people need to prevent cardio-vascular disease, and other recommendations.

What they have recommended is a further reduction of saturated and trans fats; lowering the intake of food and beverages with sugar; physical activity and weight control; a diet rich in vegetables, fruits and whole grains; avoiding tobacco use; and achieving and maintaining healthy cholesterol levels.

  1. Consider the health benefits that science suggests are associated with this drink.
  2. Can help the body cope with stress by keeping it supplied with restorative compounds and minerals
  3. These findings were published in the Journal of Nutrition 1999.
  4. Improves Blood Pressure.
  5. Fights blood and clot formation in arteries and veins.
  6. If you take this drink you will find that it will stabilize blood sugars; food can be used as energy rather than stored as fat.
  7. Is rich in antioxidants, vital to combat disease and so keep us in optimum health and wellness.

Most of us work long hours to earn our income.  We spend a lot of our lives working and I strongly believe that when we reach our fifties we deserve to retire if we wish too.  So many people have worked to this age and sadly have a heart attack and die.  They never enjoy that retirement which they have worked so hard for. There is more information available to you if you visit http://www.limuvitality.com

By the time you finish reading this article, you’ll have an excellent grasp on how to identify and understand a quality fish oil review and will know how you can use one of these excellent tools to not only lead you to the best product to suit your needs, but also to save you loads of time and money.

A fish oil review is just like any other review, and if used properly, can save you a lot of time and hassle by quickly cutting through poorly made products, and leaving the premium ones to rise to the top.  

An individual who conducts a fish oil review will typically set out to test different products either by purchasing them all, or using samples. Once this is done, the reviewer tries each brand and then reports the personal experiences with the products in an organized comparative format for you to look at.  The information should be as unbiased as possible, although this can be very hard to achieve since personal tastes can vary so much.    

Here are some important things you need to be diligent about:

Make Sure the People Reporting on the Fish Oil Review are Credible

Have they used the supplements themselves?  Is their information articulated in a specific and knowledgeable manner?  Does the reviewer make claims that can be quickly verified by doing a search on Google, or does the reviewer make claims that seem dubious?

The following are the 5 essential topics that must be addressed by the reviewer.  If you don’t see these topics, don’t bother reading the review.  These topics are:

Purity

When it comes to health products, you can never underestimate the importance of purity in the product.  Purity is absolutely the most important aspect of fish oil and should never be overlooked for any reason because your health can be impacted.  A quality fish oil review will address this issue head on and will openly talk about how purification processes differ between reviewed companies.

Freshness

Freshness is another essential topic to any good fish oil review.  The reviewer should openly discuss any pros, cons, and best practices regarding freshness in a review, no exceptions.  

Transparency

A quality fish oil review should not only cover the product in depth, but should also cover the company that manufactures the product.  Does the reviewer discuss customer testimonials, customer support, awards and offer comparisons to other reviewed companies?  Does the reviewer mention research practices, inspection practices and other health-related policies? Does the reviewer offer a comparative discussion covering how these differ from company to company?  A company should always keep its activities open to public view, especially when it comes to your health.  A responsible reviewer will understand this and make it a point to address this important topic in an unbiased manner.

Customer Testimonials

A good fish oil review will mention a company’s credibility and point toward customer testimonials.  Since no one speaks the truth like one customer to another, specific testimonials can carry a lot of weight.  A good reviewer will make note of those companies that have bragging rights when it comes to customer satisfaction and use them well in the review.

Price

Any good fish oil review always covers the topic of cost.  A good review usually mentions any current or ongoing company promotions and draws conclusions about value.  Is product A better than product B because it’s twice the cost?  Is product C worth the extra cost because it has a specific ingredient?  These are the questions a good review will address.  Only opinions can be offered, but sometimes hearing these opinions voiced openly can help you arrive at your own conclusions more effectively.

Now that you’re armed with this information you will be quickly able to tell the difference between a good fish oil review and a bogus one.  A good review has one goal: to provide you with accurate information based on personal experience.  If this element is absent, it’s time to move on to another offer.

I don’t know you, but I am willing to bet that if you or a loved one is depressed right now, you’d be willing to take a look at the possible remedies available to you.  This topic strikes a personal chord with me as depression runs in my family.  Can fish oil for depression work?  I absolutely believe it can.  However, don’t take my word for it.  Read the research and the rest of this article, and you’ll be able to determine if in fact fish oil for depression is a viable option.

It seems like every time we turn our heads, there is some new medication, fad, gimmick or supplement claiming it’s the magic bullet cure for chronic conditions like depression.

The reality is, very few are able to live up to their claims.  The good news is that some actually do deserve tremendous praise.  Fish oil supplements are one of them.

If you’ve been depressed, you know that it’s one of the worst things you can experience.  Getting out of bed in the morning is a chore in itself.  Most days it feels like you have to put in three times the effort just to stay on task.  You can’t focus, you barely eat (or eat too much), you lose your motivation, your sex drive is nonexistent and life just seems pointless.  Not to mention crying spells, anger and isolation.  Any hope for brighter days and an exciting future seems to completely diminish.  I’ve been there.

It is estimated that 14 million (5%) of America’s population struggles with depression in various forms and severity.  It is interesting to note that the incidences of depression have increased over the same time period there has been a decrease in fish and fish oil consumption.  Is this just a coincidence?  I don’t think it is.  It has been well-documented that high doses of long-chain omega-3 fish oil supplements have a boosting effect on the serotonin levels in the brain.  This is a known fact.  In some older studies involving giving high dosages of fish oil supplements to dogs, it was found that there was an increase in serotonin in the frontal cortex.

The Japan Factor

The number of depressed people in Japan is only a fraction of what we would find in America or other countries with low fish consumption.  One key difference to note other than the numbers is the fact that the Japanese eat a tremendous amount of fish daily in comparison to those countries with growing numbers of depressed citizens.  Is it that they have better genes?  It’s possible, but impossible to conclude at this point.  Is it that there has been some nondisclosure of depressive episodes in Japan in comparison to America?  This is also possible due to cultural differences.  The likely reason is that the Japanese simply have a higher and more continuous intake of omega-3 in their diets.  In addition to this, Japanese diets are considerably low in omega-6, which has been shown to have negative effects on mental and physical health when not balanced with omega-3 intake.

The Harvard Experiment

You may have heard of Andrew Stoll and his fish oil for depression experiment carried out at Harvard University.    The experiment involved giving one group of patients with bipolar depression high doses of fish oil supplements, and giving the other group an olive oil placebo.  The experiment was set to last nine months.

The Results

After four short months the experiment was halted because the differences between the group taking the fish oil for depression and the group taking the placebo were so vast it was deemed unethical to continue.  From these results it was concluded that the group taking the fish oil supplements experienced an increase in serotonin and an increase in blood flow to the brain which would provide a better distribution of nutrients like oxygen and glucose leading to better mental function and capacity.  It was concluded that fish oil for depression was indeed a viable option in this particular scenario.

Were the fish oil supplements to thank for this tremendous success?  Although the answer will differ with opinions, it wouldn’t seem ludicrous to think that it was.

In a more recent study conducted over a two year period it was “found that both a high ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fat and a low level of DHA in the blood predicted suicidal behavior in people with major depression” (Tribole p 100).

In other words, if you’re depressed, your goal is to decrease your omega-6 intake and increase your omega-3 intake.  You can do a fast search on the internet for the common sources of omega-6 fats, and you already know that fish oil supplements are hands down the best way to get omega-3.

Now that you’re armed with this information, you should be able to determine if fish oil for depression is a good alternative for you.  In my personal experienced with depression, it sure beat the synthetic medication alternatives.  Either way, you should consult with your doctor before beginning any treatment or taking fish oil for depression.  Even though it is impossible at this point to conclusively determine that fish oil supplements are responsible for decreases in depression, the evidence seems to overwhelmingly point in that direction.
