"Most contain 1,000 to 1,250 mg offish-oil concentrate, representing an epa range of 180 to 360 mg and a DHA range of 120 to 240 mg. Look for products such as MaxEPA, SuperEPA, epa Pure, Omega-3 epa, Essential Fatty Acid Complex, and Balance Plus. Cod liver oil. This is a fish oil rich in epa and DHA. Unless the fat-soluble vitamins A and D have been removed, however, consuming too much cod liver oil may result in toxic levels of these vitamins building up in the body. Borage oil." - Mark Mayell, Off-the-Shelf Natural Health (Get the book.)

"The body can theoretically make epa and DHA from ALA, but it does a lousy job of it, converting only about 10 to 20 percent into epa and DHA. I like flaxseed oil, which has nice antiinflammatory properties of its own, and if you can't or won't take fish oil, it's the next best thing (one excellent store brand is Barlean's). Ideally, take them both. You can add flaxseeds to salads and smoothies and use flaxseed oil as a part of a salad dressing. But if you had to choose, I'd go with the fish oil, since it's the only way to be sure you're actually getting epa and DHA." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)

"The fact is, we are injecting our children with 400 times the amount of mercury than even the FDA or epa considers safe. A child on the first day he is born is injected with a hepatitis B shot. This is insane. According to epa guidelines, you would have to weigh 275 pounds to safely absorb the amount of poison in the hepatitis B shot all children are given. As I mention in my book, children today are set up for lifelong problems with their health. From the moment a child is born, he's given these deadly vaccines." - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.)

"And in 2001 Bush nominated her and she was approved for the second-ranking position at the epa. As noted in Philip Mattera's report "How Agribusiness Has Hijacked Regulatory Policy at the U.S. Department of Agriculture": In its early days, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) was dubbed the "People's Department" by President Lincoln, in recognition of its role in helping the large portion of the population that worked the land. Some 140 years later, USDA has been transformed into something very different." - Linda Faillace, Mad Sheep: The True Story Behind the USDA's War on a Family Farm (Get the book.)

"The most important omega-3 fats are epa (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), both made from alpha linoleic acid. In order to make DHA and epa, your body must have sufficient vitamin B6, vitamin B3, vitamin C, magnesium, and zinc. Many medications (oral contraceptives, oral estrogen) and conditions (excess stress, infection, cancer) cause a deficiency of such vitamins, which can lead to low levels of omega-3. Symptoms of inadequate omega-3 are mood swings, depression, dry skin, digestive upset, and immune problems." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

"Fish oil capsules have two different types of omega-3s in them called epa and DHA. It usually comes in 1000 milligram capsules and you need to take quite a lot of it. I recommend a total of about 10 grams per day of epa and DHA divided into two doses. That usually works out to about 20 capsules per day. You should also increase the amount of fish and greens in your diet. If you have a bleeding disorder or if you are on aspirin or Coumadin or other drugs affecting your clotting, you should really only take fish oil under the close monitoring of a physician because fish oils do thin the blood." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"But if you had to choose, I'd go with the fish oil, since it's the only way to be sure you're actually getting epa and DHA. Also note: Although it's definitely possible to get all of your fish oil from actual fish, you'd have to eat an awful lot to get the therapeutic dose for lowering triglycerides, for example, or for relieving depression. Nonetheless, fish is a great way to get the basic preventive dose of EPA and DHA. Concerns about the quality of fish and possible contaminations have left some people nervous about eating too much of it." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)

"Daily doses should provide a minimum of 1 g of epa daily to have a successful outcome,16 but better results might be more achievable with higher daily doses of a supplement containing both epa and DHA. The most common side effects from fish oil supplements are gastrointestinal, consisting of mild dyspepsia, belching, increased flatulence, diarrhea, or a fishy aftertaste. Side effects can be minimized if taken with food or by taking an enteric-coated fish oil preparation." - Dr. Jonathan Prousky, BPHE, BSc, ND, FRSH, Anxiety: Orthomolecular Diagnosis and Treatment (Get the book.)

"They didn't feel it was possible to set an acceptable range for all omega-3 fatty acids (ALA, DHA, epa). They therefore recommended that a target amount of epa or DHA is 160 milligrams a day for men and 110 milligrams a day for women. I personally feel the EPA/DHA recommendation should be higher to achieve optimal health. My goal is about 1 gram of marine-derived EPA/DHA a day and I concur with the Food and Nutrition Board's daily recommendation on ALA, which is the amount found in less than 1 tablespoon of flaxseed." - Steven G.

"Both studies concluded that the fish oil epa, is effective,' wrote Lucy Mayhew in the Guardian. 'In 2005, Dr Basant Puri, a consultant psychiatrist at Imperial College School of Medicine, published an entire book dedicated to explaining why epa is so good at treating depression.'27 Meanwhile, Dr Alex Richardson, a senior research fellow at Oxford University and also director of the charity, Food and Behaviour Research, has published work showing remarkable turnarounds in concentration, attention and disruptive behaviour aftet combining epa with omega-6 to treat dyslexics and ADD sufferers." - Jacky Law, Big Pharma: Exposing the Global Healthcare Agenda (Get the book.)

"EPA is an ft3 fatty acid metabolised in the body from a-linolenic acid. epa can also be obtained from fish oils. This long-chain (20-carbon) polyunsaturated fatty acid inhibits pro-inflammatory prostaglandins including leukotriene—responsible for bronchospasms that occur in asthma. High levels of dietary EPAs reduce thrombosis by activation of a blood-clotting inhibitor prostaglandin and partial inactivation of the platelet aggregation factor. The resulting decrease in blood viscosity leads to prolonged bleeding time and thus EPAs should be taken with caution by those on antithrombotic therapy." - Andrew Pengelly, The Constituents of Medicinal Plants: An Introduction to the Chemistry and Therapeutics of Herbal Medicine (Get the book.)

"What is probably more surprising to most people, though, is the fact that, according to the epa, 53 million Americans unknowingly drink tap water that is polluted by feces, radiation, or other contaminants. Also accotding to the epa, some 45 million people drink water contaminated with the parasite Cryptosporidium that killed more than 100 people in Milwaukee in 1993. Or that over half of all Americans drink water that has been used at least once before." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"The fish oil doesn't supply omega-3; it supplies the epa and therefore limits the body's options to make what it needs from the omega-3. Thus, the omega-3 is a better nutritional resource than the high-EPA fish oil. Another major difference is the fiber that comes in the flax seed. Fish has no fiber and also is a highly concentrated food. Unlike many other plants, flax seed has a special fiber called lignin that our body converts to lignans, which help to build up the immune system and have specific anti-cancer, anti-fungal, and anti-viral properties." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Twelve weeks later, nearly 70 percent of those receiving 1 gram of epa daily felt better. Whole fish and fish oil supplements both contain epa, but it would be very difficult to get the amounts used in this study just from eating fish. If you're considering fish oil supplements, take 1,000 milligrams (1 gram) of epa each day since that's the amount that worked best in the study. More isn't necessarily better — larger doses were actually less helpful. Remember to talk to your doctor before taking fish oil supplements." - The Editors of FC&A, Unleash the Inner Healing Power of Foods (Get the book.)

"EPA and the U.S. Department of Energy. Unlike appliance efficiency standards, Energy Star is purely voluntary. Companies that choose to participate obtain the right to use the Energy Star logo only if their product is significantly more efficient than required by government standards. Look for the star on home appliances, home electronics, office equipment, heating and cooling equipment, lamps, and other major energy-using devices. Some local utilities offer rebates for the purchase of Energy Star-rated appliances.

"You can and should consume more ALA from sources such as walnuts and flaxseed, but know that its rate of conversion to epa and DHA becomes inefficient as we age. ANTIGLYCATION AGENTS Preventing glycation is one of the main goals of everyone concerned with reducing the risk of diabetes-related complications as well as premature aging. Along with intelligent food preparation/cooking methods that reduce dietary glycotoxin ingestion, there are several dietary supplements that can be a helpful part of an antiglycation strategy." - Steven V. Joyal, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Diabetes: An Innovative Program to Prevent, Treat, and Beat This Controllable Disease (Get the book.)

"But under the Reagan administration, the epa issued a more flexible rule that considered the plant as a whole to be the "source." Though the Court found it impossible to discern a legislative intent with regard to this issue, it upheld the EPA's decision, holding that when a statute is silent on a particular issue, Congress can be understood to have delegated the power to make the law to the agency. And, according to Justice Stevens's majority opinion, "Such legislative regulations are given controlling weight unless they are arbitrary, capricious, or manifestly contrary to the statute." - Jonathan W. Emord, The Rise of Tyranny (Get the book.)

"And the EPA's efforts? In 2004 the Region 6 office of the epa, based in Texas, published "A Guide To Protect the Health of Nail Salon Workers and Their Working Environment," a laudatory effort at educating salon workers about health hazards. It even made this declaration: "Nail salon products may contain many potentially harmful chemicals that can be a major cause of occupational asthma as well as other health and environmental concerns." But following complaints from the nail products industry about this and other wording in the guidebook, the national Washington, D.C." - Samuel S.

"However, one recent clinical trial assessing the efficacy of adjunctive epa (2 g daily in addition to standard SSRI treatment) found no therapeutic benefits in 11 patients with OCD.1? At present, it is unclear if fish oil sources of EFAs have any therapeutic value for the treatment of anxiety. Daily doses should provide a minimum of 1 g of epa daily to have a successful outcome,16 but better results might be more achievable with higher daily doses of a supplement containing both epa and DHA." - Dr. Jonathan Prousky, BPHE, BSc, ND, FRSH, Anxiety: Orthomolecular Diagnosis and Treatment (Get the book.)

"The active ingredients of fish oils are eichosapentenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). epa originates in plants and algae; fish eat them and store the epa in their muscles and liver. No food sources of epa in a vegetarian diet can match the concentration in fish. The best fish sources are high-fat fish such as salmon, mackerel, sablefish, Florida pompano, bluefin tuna, sword-fish, bluefish, shark, and herring. If you do not regularly eat fish, you can supplement with 1,000 to 3,000 mg of epa or omega-3 fatty acid capsules several times a week." - Linda Ojeda, Menopause Without Medicine: The Trusted Women's Resource with the Latest Information on HRT, Breast Cancer, Heart Disease and Natural Estrogens (Get the book.)

"If your omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acid ratio is too high, as reflected by the levels of arachidonic (AA) and eico-sapentaenoic (EPA) fatty acids, there's not enough antiinflammatory epa in the body to neutralize the proinflammatory AA. We see very unhealthy scores, sometimes as high as 20. Follow the diet suggestions in chapter 9. Also, take 2-3 g of fish oil daily to help neutralize inflammation. In some cases, more may be needed. Weight loss. Exercise. Restrict carbohydrates, especially sugary high-glycemic carbs (see appendix B)." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)

"Meanwhile, we also know that epa and DHA are likely to activate a chemical with a long complex name—peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-gamma?which is a key regulator of lipid metabolism and also capable of modulating cancer cell proliferation in a variety of cells including breast cells. The expression of PPAR-gamma in the cell nucleus is activated by second messenger chemicals including prostaglandins; under the influence of omega-3s, the PPAR-gamma activation causes apoptosis." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"In order to make DHA and epa, your body must have sufficient vitamin B6, vitamin B3, vitamin C, magnesium, and zinc. Many medications (oral contraceptives, oral estrogen) and conditions (excess stress, infection, cancer) cause a deficiency of such vitamins, which can lead to low levels of omega-3. Symptoms of inadequate omega-3 are mood swings, depression, dry skin, digestive upset, and immune problems. Until the modern age, we humans routinely ate a diet of nearly equal omega-3 and omega-6 oils, naturally." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)
