Breast Cancer - 3 Ways Fish Oil Protects Women

Alternative MedicineFebruary 29, 2012Written by Konstantin Eriksen1,375 views

Breast cancer can be a devastating disease that can affect not only the women who have it, but also their families and loved ones. I have seen a lot of the emotional turmoil that families can be thrown into when somebody in the family is diagnosed with breast cancer or any other type of cancer.

The question is this: Is there any way that women can protect themselves and give their bodies a fighting chance against the disease? The answer is unequivocally, yes! Here are three ways in which molecularly distilled omega 3 supplement can help:

1. Fish oil decreases estradiol levels. For the last 20 years, study after study has shown that the omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA, found in deep ocean fish and fish oil supplements can decrease the amount of estradiol in a woman's blood and therefore stop the creation of cancer cells. One study, done at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle, and which followed more tha
35.000 women who did not have breast cancer, found that those women who took fish oil supplements regularly had a 32% lower risk of developing breast cancer.

2. Genetics. Another study, done by the University of Califo
ia at San Francisco, showed unequivocally that fish-based fatty acid supplementation can help alter the expression of the COX-2 gene, a gene which, in some people, leads to excessive inflammation and an increased cancer risk.

3. Inflammation. High levels of inflammation have a negative effect on the immune system. Omega-3 fatty acids decrease the inflammation and strengthen the body's defenses.

It has become obvious over the years that omega 3 fatty acid supplements should be an essential part of the human diet. I believe that the best, most effective and cheapest way to get the benefits of polyunsaturated fatty acids is to take a high-grade, pure, molecularly distilled DHA/EPA oil in capsule form, every single day. It is by far the easiest way to achieve all of the benefits mentioned above, with a small monthly investment, safely and quickly.

Many people notice that their headaches or migraines worsen when the weather changes. One of the most common culprits is barometric pressure, also known as atmospheric pressure. This pressure refers to the weight of the air around us, and even small shifts can affect sensitive individuals, often leading to headaches, sinus pressure, or migraines. What Happens When Barometric Pressure Drops? A drop in barometric pressure is common before storms, rainfall, or sudden weather c

Most of the old drugs are currently limited in their effectiveness because of poor pharmacokinetics, simple clearance by the body and cytotoxicity. Nanoparticle technology in particular, Nano drug delivery system is getting a lot of attention and application in medicine in the recent years. Since it is small (1100nm), targets well, and stays in the circulation long enough, NPs are a good candidate as a drug carrier, enabling an enhanced in vivo targeting capability and less n
