Fish Oil Prevents Cancer - What You Absolutely Must Know
Alternative MedicineFebruary 29, 2012Written by Konstantin Eriksen1,137 views
Evidence is rapidly emerging which shows that omega-3 fatty acids, such as those contained in fish oil, can help in preventing many different types of cancers.
The estimates show that approximately 40.000 people per year in the United States alone are going to get kidney cancer. That's 40,000 people every single year! And that's just for kidney cancer.
A large study done at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden has shown that eating fish high in the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA can reduce cancer risk significantly. The study was initiated in the 1980s and involved 90.000 Swedish women. By 2004, the women consuming fatty fish most often were 74% less likely to develop cancer than the women not consuming much fish.
The Swedish researchers also found that eating non-fatty, lean fish afforded no protection whatsoever against cancer. The scientists concluded that a high intake of omega-3 fatty acids decrease our chances of getting cancer and that a high intake of omega six fatty acids increase our chances of getting cancer.
Personally, as someone who has had quite a few health problems in the past, including inflammation, bronchial asthma and severe allergies, I have taken a hard-line approach. I simply eliminated all the superfluous omega six fats from my diet. That means no corn oil, sunflower seed oil, chips or other junk food. At the same time, I began to take high-quality molecularly distilled fish capsules everyday.
I can happily say that after more than two years of following this protocol, I've almost forgotten about those days when I used to get up every day and think "here we go again," another day of feeling tired, having aches and pains and bronchial spasms!
I certainly don't believe that DHA/EPA capsules are a panacea, or that they will solve all of our health problems. But after having tried a lot of the supplements over the years and especially over the last two years, I believe that molecularly distilled fish oil is one of the most indispensable supplements that I have discovered. I also feel confident that I'm giving my body the best nutrition to minimize my chances of getting anything as serious as cancer.
The final step came when I discovered the unique fish oil made in New Zealand, which ended up outperforming all of the other omega 3 supplements that I had tried, both in the way that I feel after taking it and in my blood-test results. And believe me, I've tried some of the best and most expensive fish oils available in Europe. I can honestly give this fish oil my wholehearted recommendation.

Respiratory Infections and Pollution Effects - Causes, Symptoms & Prevention Tips
Abstract Respiratory infections are becoming increasingly common, and one of the major contributing factors is the rise in air pollution. Polluted air contains harmful particles, chemicals, and toxins that weaken the lungs and reduce the body’s natural defense mechanisms. As air quality worsens in cities, people of all age groups are experiencing more frequent coughing, breathing difficulties, allergies, and long-term respiratory diseases.

Why Barometric Pressure Triggers Headaches - Causes, Symptoms & Prevention Tips
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

Research of Cell Membrane Nano Drug Delivery System and Its Application in Bionic Nanomedicine
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

The world's chronic disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), is among the most incredibly morbid and mortal. A relatively common, preventable and curable condition, COPD most often reflects itself in chronic breathing problems and airway obstruction. Its cause is elusive and not well understood. The most important pathological processes involve oxidative stress, protease dysfunction, mitochondrial dysfunction and airway inflammation. Drug and oxygen treatment ar
