Omega 3′s – A Natural Anti-inflammatory

There are thousands of independent medical and scientific studies available to the public on the endless list of physical and emotional health results from taking omega 3′s daily.

(Just do a web search for “fish oils benefits” or “omega 3 fatty acids benefits” or “omega 3 science” and be amazed at the proof you will find is there right now.)

Adding omega-3 fatty acids to your diet is sure to improve your overall health–especially your heart, brain, and emotional health.

Omega 3 essential fatty acids are vital to long-term health, but because your body can’t make them on its own, you must get them through the foods you eat. At one time this was fairly easy, but in this day of commercial farming and grain-fed livestock, omega 3s are no longer plentiful in our common foods.  While there are certain species of fish that are good sources of omega 3s, but contaminants and pollution in our oceans and water-ways can make getting them in this way a bit risky.

It is VITAL to get your fish oils from a reputable company that uses a distillation process to remove all the toxins and contaminants.

Essential Source Omega 3 features a proprietary, two-step molecular distillation process ensuring ultra-purity. Mannatech’s Essential Source Omega 3 surpasses quality and purity standards for fish oil supplements adopted by the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN), the Global Organization for EPA and DHA (GOED), and the U.S. Pharmacopeia.

In other words, it makes them MORE PURE THAN THEY ARE REQUIRED TO BE!

A serving of Essential Source Omega 3 provides a highly concentrated portion (1110 milligrams) of EPA and DHA, with absolutely no after-taste and provides the following health benefits:

  • Helps support cardiovascular and heart health*
  • Provides support for healthy triglyceride levels already within normal levels*
  • Helps maintain healthy blood lipid levels*
  • Helps support healthy blood platelet function*
  • Helps support brain and mood function and health*

WARNING –> Don’t be lured into getting cheaper, inferior, low EPA/DHA concentration, non-pure fish oils! You cannot risk your precious health by taking products with contaminants and toxins in them every day!!

You deserve the best in Mannatech’s Essential Source Omega 3.

Feel the difference having this vital nutrient on board!

Osteoporsis Drugs Linked to Cancer

Osteoporosis drugs have become increasingly well-known for their dangerous side effects, many of which could easily be worse than your original concern.  A new study showed that long term use of drugs like Actonel, Boniva, and Fosamax could be associated with approximately twofold risk of esophageal cancer.

Along with a long list of potentially serious side effects an article written by Dr. Joseph Mercola tells us also how these osteoporosis drugs actually weaken rather than strengthen your bones over time. Some of the side effects listed in the article are: hypocalcemia (low blood calcium levels)

serious eye inflammation – some going blind

Please take the time to read the entire article here.  There are many ways to stop osteoporosis without taking toxic drugs.  As always, do you due diligence before making a decision to swallow these potentially harmful substances.

More Good News for Vitamin C

It seems that vitamin C is often put on the back burner of anti-oxidants these days because there are so many new and “better” anti-oxidants available.  This article demonstrates that we should remember the benefits and utilize vitamin C as a cancer adjunct (used with other traditional treatments) and a therapy for other infectious conditions.

According to Dr. Hunninghake, “It will reduce side effects and improve quality of life.  There have actually been two major studies now showing how it impoves quality of life.”

The following link is an interview with Dr. Mercola and Dr. Ronald Hunninghake an internationally recognized expert on vitamin C who has personally supervised more than 60,000 intravenous (IV) vitamin C administrations.  Lots of good information here.

Anticonvulsant drug makes people want to kill themselves

If you have a loved one taking any of these kinds of medications become more informed of their potential dangers.  Remember we cannot poison ourselves back to good health.  There are answers for our health challenges that are natural and effective…we simply must seek them out!  Here’s the article.

(NaturalNews) Popular anti-seizure drugs may seriously increase a patient’s risk of suicide and violent death, according to a study conducted by researchers from Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, and published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

The drugs, known as anticonvulsants, were initially designed for the treatment of epilepsy but are now widely prescribed “off-label” for conditions such as bipolar disorder, migraine headaches and pain.

“We all know the range of uses of these medications is very, very wide,” researcher Elisabetta Patorno said.

The researchers examined the prescription and medical records of more than 300,000 people above the age of 14 who had been prescribed an anticonvulsant for the first time between July 2001 and December 2006.

All of the drugs, they found, significantly increased a patient’s risk of attempted or successful suicide, as well as violent death by other causes. During the course of the study, there were 801 attempted suicides, 26 successful suicides and 41 violent deaths.

“We found increased risk for suicidal acts beginning within the first 14 days after treatment initiation, opening the possibility that anticonvulsant medications could induce behavioral effects prior to the achievement of their full therapeutic effectiveness,” the researchers wrote.

Based on prior studies, the FDA ruled in 2008 that all anticonvulsants must carry labels warning that they double the risk of suicidal thoughts and actions. These older studies had not been able to determine if any drugs posed higher risks than others, however.

In the current study, researchers compared the rates of suicides and violent deaths among users of topiramate (sold generically and also marketed as Topamax), gabapentin (marketed as Neurontin), lamotrigine (marketed as Lamictal), oxcarbazepine (marketed as Trileptal), tiagabine (marketed as Gabitril) and valproate (marketed as Depakine and Epilim). They found that the risk was lowest in topiramate, and roughly equal in the five other drugs.

The F.D.A. today issued a warning for the drug Lamictal. Lamictal “can cause aseptic meningitis, an inflammation of the protective membranes (meninges) that cover the brain and spinal cord not caused by bacterial infection.”

Here is a partial statement from the F.D.A.:

“Aseptic meningitis has a number of causes including, but not limited to, viruses, toxic agents, some vaccines, autoimmune diseases, and certain medications, including Lamictal. Symptoms can include headache, fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, stiff neck and sensitivity to light. Hospitalization may be required.

In suspected cases of meningitis, the underlying cause should be rapidly diagnosed so that treatment can be promptly initiated. Discontinuation of Lamictal should be considered if no other clear cause of meningitis is identified.

Aseptic meningitis is a rare but serious side effect of Lamictal use,” said Russell Katz, M.D., director of the Division of Neurology Products in the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. “Patients that experience symptoms should consult their health care professional immediately.” Click here to read full F.D.A.

Asantae Java: Antioxidant Rich Coffee

It has finally happened!

There is a healthy coffee available for all of us coffee loving people!  Dwight Lundell, MD is partnering with a company that has found a way to produce a high antioxidant, organic and heart healthy coffee called Asantae Java.  The growing and roasting process actually yields a coffee that is higher in antioxidant value than berries, most green tea and veggies.

The antioxidant value of Asantae Java is five times higher than regular coffee.  Remember that the value of antioxidants is brought by combating the free radical damage done from oxidative stress in our bodies.  Oxidative stress is what damages our cells and speeds the aging process as well as enhances the inflammatory process which contributes to most of the chronic disease conditions we are afflicted with.

So if you are one of the 108.9 million Americans who drink coffee and you would like to make it a heart healthy, high antioxidant brew get some Asantae Java and enjoy your morning, afternoon and evening cup of coffee.

Click here to purchase some Asantae Java.
