A good adequate dietary supply 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.

Eggs - Chose free range hens fed on a good diet of insects, flaxseeds and greens. 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 plenty 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 - 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 - An excellent 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 excellent 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. Roughly 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.
