"As the principal omega-3 fatty acid of green vegetation and phytoplankton, it is the foundation source material for epa and DHA in animals. As the bedrock of the food chain, plants have supported all animal life on the planet since the dawn of time. Herbivores throughout history, from the brontosaurus to the gray whale to the wildebeest, have individually consumed tons of green leaves containing massive amounts of ALA." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"Keep Chemicals off Your Plate Many pesticides approved by the epa were registered before research had been completed which linked them to cancer and other diseases. Now, the epa considers many of these substances to be carcinogenic; some are implicated in birth defects, nerve damage, and genetic mutations. The bottom line is that pesticides are poisons designed to kill living organisms and they can also harm humans. 6. Protect Farm Workers A National Cancer Institute study found that farmers exposed to herbicides had six times more risk of contracting cancer than non-farmers." - M.D. David Brownstein, The Guide to Healthy Eating (Get the book.)

"The Omega-3 Benefit Experimental studies have indicated that omega-3 fatty acids, including ALA, epa and DHA, inhibit mammary tumor growth and metastasis. A French laboratory recently examined the fatty acid composition in adipose (fat) tissue from 241 patients with invasive, non-metastatic breast carcinoma and from 88 patients with benign breast disease, in a case-control study. Again, fatty acid composition in breast adipose tissue was used as a biomarker of past intake of fatty acids. Biopsies were obtained at the time of surgery." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"And so, they wondered, what would happen if they exposed mice to a lower dose of TCE over a longer period of time—a chronic exposure equal to exactly what a person might have in a tannery or airplane manufacturing company, an amount corresponding to limits already approved of as safe by the epa for industrial workers? This time around, even at these low doses, Gilbert and Pumford saw an increase in the percentage of cells that expressed CD44." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.) "Many sat there in utter disbelief and horror as they listened to the report: the lead ash, which in some areas existed at a concentration nearly forty times higher than the EPA's safety limit, sat two inches to as much as two feet thick on the surface of the property. Not only was the soil full of lead, but PCB-contaminated sediment had been found on and near the lot from industrial debris—tires, televisions, and construction rubble—illegally dumped at the locale." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"The fish oil omega-3 blend of epa and DHA is for cardiovascular protection. The second omega-3 blend is for brain, nerve, and eye function. The blend of omega 3,6,9 is for general fatty acid supplementation. Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an omega-6 fatty acid, is recommended for allergies, rhinitis, or eczema. GENE EXPRESSION Fish omega-3 blend of epa (300 mg), DHA (200 mg) 1,000-3,000 mg Omega-3 blend of epa (200 mg), DHA (500 mg), or 500-1,000 mg Omega-3 DHA alone 500 mg." - Vincent Giampapa, Ronald Pero, and Marcia Zimmerman, The Anti-Aging Solution: 5 Simple Steps to Looking and Feeling Young (Get the book.)

"The stomach may degrade some of the epa before it reaches the colon. L-Glutamine L-glutamine is a supplement that provides metabolic fuel for the intestinal cells. It helps to sustain the villi and absorptive surfaces of the intestinal tract lining. Vitamin C and B complex help to enhance the absorption of L-glutamine. Recommended dosage for adults is two to six grams per day with meals. There are no known side effects of L-glutamine. High potency Multi vitamin People who suffer from Crohn's disease are at risk for vitamin and mineral deficiencies." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.)

"Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to authorize limited supplement claims about the cardiovascular benefits of epa and DHA fatty acids. Specifically, labels could mention "supportive evidence" that omega-3s may reduce the risk of coronary artery disease. The FDA oversees nutritional and medication label claims, and does not easily grant such permission for supplements. In 2004, a similar qualified claim was permitted for fish. Based on the medical research and personal validation from our own clinical experience, fish oil supplements should be part of all cardiovascular treatment programs." - 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.)

"Our bodies can actually convert a small amount of the plant omega-3s (ALA) you eat into the omega-3s found in fish (DHA and epa). In new guidelines from the American Heart Association, people without heart disease are advised to eat a variety of fish at least twice a week and regularly include oils, nuts, and seeds rich in omega-3s in their diets. Those living with heart disease should consume about 1 gram of fish omega-3s per day from fatty fish when possible." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

"Thus, consuming omega-3s in the form of DHA and epa from fish or fish oil supplements is a much more efficient way of supplying the body. Beginning in the mid-1970s, Danish investigators discovered that Greenland Eskimos had a low incidence of heart attacks compared to Westerners. The researchers attributed the hardiness of Eskimo hearts to a diet with abundant fish oil, which they felt had potential antiathero-sclerotic benefits." - 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.) "The right kind of fish (see our recommendations and caveats at the end of the chapter) are rich in epa and DHA. Lean organic or free-range chicken breasts are okay as well. If your meats are marbled with fat, you get a whopping dose of saturated fat. Lean free-range top round steak has the lowest amount of saturated fat in the beef category. 5. High in olive oil. According to Greek mythology, the goddess Athena endowed the olive tree with great healing powers. Modern medical science is now showing that she really knew her stuff!" - 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.)

"If the first Earth Day had not led directly to the creation of the epa and the passage of the Clean Air Act, the environmental movement would not have acquired the momentum it attained. Similarly, this millennial Earth Day needs to have political consequences. The objective of Earth Day—and this book—is to engage tens of millions of citizens to demand policies that produce a sustainable future for themselves and their children." - Denis Hayes, The Official Earth Day Guide to Planet Repair (Get the book.) "In late 1999, the epa filed lawsuits against many of these plants to try to force them into compliance. Making all power plants meet the nation's clean air standards would decrease their emissions of harmful pollutants by 75 percent—with great public health benefits. It would also speed up the replacement of these dinosaurs with clean, modern plants, ehminating at least 43 million metric tons of carbon per year by 2010. Build Better Buildings: 4.5 Percent." - Denis Hayes, The Official Earth Day Guide to Planet Repair (Get the book.) "Because the ENERGY EXTRAS John Ehrlichman, head of the Domestic Council under President Nixon, once confided to me how Nixon had decided to create the epa. This decision was not motivated by a deep presidential sensitivity for the environment. Indeed, Nixon thought environ-mentalism reflected a "wimpy reluctance to pay the price of progress." Still, Nixon considered Senator Ed Muskie to be his likely Democratic opponent in the 1972 election. He was convinced that Muskie would tout his strong leadership in the fight against air and water pollution." - Denis Hayes, The Official Earth Day Guide to Planet Repair (Get the book.)

"Linda Fisher was assistant administrator of the EPA's Office of Pollution, Prevention, Pesticides, and Toxic Substances for ten years. She knew the laws inside and out, so she was hired by Monsanto as the deputy administrator for their Washington lobbying office. She went on to serve on the USDA's advisory committee on biotech foods. Then it was back to Monsanto, where she was vice president of government and public affairs. And in 2001 Bush nominated her and she was approved for the second-ranking position at the epa." - Linda Faillace, Mad Sheep: The True Story Behind the USDA's War on a Family Farm (Get the book.)

"Omega-3s include ALA (alpha linolenic acid), epa (eicosapentaenoic acid), and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). The omega-6s include LA (linoleic acid), GLA (gamma-linolenic acid), DHGLA (dihomogamma-linolenic acid), and AA (arachidonic acid). The omega-6 fatty acid GLA, which is low among many 4-A kids-particularly those with skin problems-is in primrose oil, borage oil, and black currant seed oil. The omega-3 EFAs are abundant in fish oil. EFAs are generally very well tolerated." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.) "The amount given to two-month-old infants was 99 times higher than the standard epa recommendations. Even in 1991, at the beginning of the era of the increased dosage of thimerosal, many industry leaders were worried about the effects that this amount of mercury might have upon children's health. A memo from a leading executive at a drug company that was dispensing thimerosal warned that, "The mercury dose appears rather large." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"The major benefit of these polyunsaturated fatty acids called omega-3s, in particular DHA (docosahex-anenoic acid) and epa (eicosapentaenoic acid), is that they make blood platelets less "sticky" thus protecting circulatory health, they may promote cognitive functioning, and there's also a growing body of evidence that they may reduce the inflammatory process in the entire body. It's this latter benefit—reducing inflammation—that seems to most benefit those trying to lose weight." - Wendy Bazilian, DRPH, MA, RD, Steven Pratt, MD, Kathy Matthews, Superfoods Rx Diet: Lose Weight with the Power of SuperNutrients (Get the book.)

"In a nutshell, get your GLA oil by avoiding things that deplete it and by eating oatmeal, and get your epa oils by eating fish regularly. If you want to take GLA (borage oil) and epa (fish oil) supplements for a few months to get your prostaglandin pathways in good working order, you should be taking 50 to 100 more epa than GLA. You only need 1 to 2 mg of GLA and 50 to 100 mg of epa. There is an amazing amount of misinformation out there about fats and oils and what they do in the body." - Earl L. Mindell, R.Ph., Ph.D., Prescription Alternatives, Third Edition: Hundreds of Safe, Natural Prescription-Free Remedies to Restore and Maintain Your Health (Get the book.)

"DHA seems to have an even stronger effect than the other fish omega-3, epa. And in some research, adding extra-virgin olive oil to a low-saturated-fat diet reduced blood pressure to the point that participants no longer required medication to treat hypertension. þIn lab studies, avocado oil (rich in monounsaturated fat and oleic acid) incorporated into a cholesterol-rich diet significantly reduced the severity of aortic lesions, compared with coconut oil (high in saturated fat). The avocado oil also raised levels of HDL cholesterol. Improve cholesterol levels with fish and garlic." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

"However, be aware that the content of epa and DHA, the active ingredients in fish oil, vary widely in different brands. Look for fish oil capsules and bottled oil that is "molecularly distilled," meaning that the heavy metals that concentrate in fish fat (remember, you're what the thing you ate ate) have been removed. And stop wrinkling your nose! Modern fish oil, particularly Carlson's Norwegian Fish Oil, has absolutely no "fishy" taste. I even fooled my wife when I first started sneaking it into our salads; she actually complimented me on how tasty the dressing was." - Dr. Steven R. Gundry, Dr. Gundry's Diet Evolution: Turn Off the Genes That Are Killing You - And Your Waistline - And Drop the Weight for Good (Get the book.)

"ALA goes through a chemical change in the body to perform the same function as DHA and epa if we are not getting enough DHA and epa in our diets or with supplements. We have to be very careful when picking the correct fish to eat because many of our fish are now contaminated with toxins such as mercury, lead, and other deadly chemicals. Most Americans are deficient in these important fatty acids. Today, flaxseed oil is regarded as high-quality oil." - Gregory, A. Gore, Defeat Cancer (Get the book.)

"For bipolar disorder, consider taking 5 to 15 grams of epa daily— that's the dose of epa, not the total amount of oils in the capsules. Start with the lower dose and increase it gradually over several weeks. Although the dosage may seem high (and may involve swallowing a lot of capsules or teaspoons of fish oil), traditional diets in Arctic regions provide 15 to 19 grams of fish oils daily. Note: Very high doses of fish oil will have a blood-thinning effect, which your doctor should monitor if you are taking blood-thinning medications. High-potency multivitamins." - Jack Challem, The Food-Mood Solution: All-Natural Ways to Banish Anxiety, Depression, Anger, Stress, Overeating, and Alcohol and Drug Problems--and Feel Good Again (Get the book.)

"The smell comes from deadly chemicals, including toluene, ethylbenzene, phenol, methyl isobutyl ketone, xylene, acetophenone, and cumene, all named dangerous air pollutants by the epa. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) shower curtains are sold at Kmart, Bed, Bath and Beyond, WalMart, Sears, and Target. "One of the curtains tested released measurable quantities of as many as 108 volatile organic compounds into the air, some of which persisted for nearly a month," according to a recent New York Sun article. To be safe, replace your PCC curtains with cloth or glass." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"The two most useful omega-3 fats are epa and DHA (short for those long, impossible-to-pronounce words I won't trouble you with again), which are "long-chain" omega-3s. Our bodies can join a bunch of short chains together to manufacture long-chains, but it is not clear how efficiently we do this. DHA from algae is becoming increasingly available. Again, do what you can, with what you have, wherever you are. Hate swallowing capsules or pills? Eat your ALA! Walnuts are a very good source of ALA and represent one of the pillars in Dr. G's World-Famous Nut Mix (page 196)." - Dr. Steven R.

"If you overdose on these supplements they can cause serious immune problems. epa and DHA are needed by the body along with vitamin E to be efficiently processed. Fish oil lacks vitamin E whereas flaxseed oil and other cold-pressed vegetable oils have an abundance of vitamin E. Eating fats from plants allows your body to make all the epa and DHA it needs, whereas you could be seriously overdosing when taking fish oil. It seems somewhat insane to be killing fish to extract the oils when you can get everything you need from plant foods in a far better, more natural and usable state." - Mary-Ann Shearer, Perfect Health the Natural Way (Get the book.)

"In health-food stores liquid or capsules of Kyolic aged garlic extract, Kyolic epa (a combination of aged garlic extract and fish oil) are available in the United States. Oil-based garlic preparations are questionable, since allicin is unstable in oil. According to Tyler, dried garlic preparations are most effective if they are enteric coated. This will allow them to pass intact through the stomach to the small intestine where the enzyme can act under the alkaline conditions present there." - C. P.
