A good dietary supply and balance of omega-3 fats can provide prevention against illnesses such as:

*Cardiovascular related problems such as thrombosis, cardiac arrhythmias, plaque formations in arteries, high blood pressure...

*Cancer: Omega-3 fats aid in immune system building.

*Diabetes Type-2: An absence or deficiency leads to a failure in insulin to control blood sugar levels and glucose uptake into the inside of the cell

*Asthma

*Learning difficulties

*Inflammation

...and much, much more.

Doctors in the USA know only too well that omega-3 sources such as fish oils supplements can significantly prevent heart attacks. However, in spite of all the evidence in support of fish oils, the FDA has not approved this form of omega-3 fat. Expensive and invasive pharmaceutical drugs that may do more harm than good are the order of the day instead. Doctors in the USA cannot directly sell fish-oil supplements or even provide patients with studies clearly showing their effectiveness. If doctors were caught doing this, then they would be struck off the list.

'This is a clear example of a conspiracy facilitated within the FDA and the controlling pharmaceutical companies. It is another example of how expensive, profit-boosting drugs are undemocratically favoured over cheap, natural and non-toxic alternatives. Wake up folks! These people don't give a damn about your health.

Get the right omega-6 to omega-3 balance of 1:1

As you can see from the above ratio, to maintain health, a balance between omega-6 and omega-3 fats is necessary. The trick therefore, is to avoid or perhaps drastically reduce those cheap and nasty fats and oils: sunflower, corn, soy, safflower, canola... or anything that contains these foods: No margarine, no vegetable oils or hydrogenated fats. 'All these products contain a chock full of omega-6 fats. Eat plenty of omega-3 fats to get the balance right. Some recommended omega-3 sources:

Coconut - Organic virgin coconut oil is recommended.

Eggs - Preferably free range from hens fed on a good diet of insects, flaxseeds and greens.

Butter - Organic is recommended from grass fed cows.

Cod liver oil - Good source of vitamin D. Works quite well with vitamin E supplementation, which prevents the fat from oxidising. A recommended dosage is around 1 teaspoon full per day for every 35Kg's of bodyweight.

Krill oil - Another good source of omega-3. Like cod liver oil it has the essential fatty acids: ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) & EHA (eicosapentaenoic acid).

Flaxseed oil - Goods source for vegetarians. The fatty acid ALA is present & can act as a precursor to DHA & EHA. However, some people are deficient in the ability to make DHA & EHA from ALA. About 1 tablespoon a day is recommended.

Borage and flaxseed evening primrose oils - Again, good sources for vegetarians.

Walnuts - About 28 grams a day is recommended.
