"One group of researchers from the University of Guelph in Ontario tested the combination of garlic (900 milligrams a day) with fish oil supplements (12 grams) and each alone in 50 men with moderately high blood cholesterol. They concluded that taking in garlic with fish oil favorably lowered triglycerides, total cholesterol, and LDL cholesterol. The researchers suggested that the combination reversed the moderate increase in LDL cholesterol that normally results from fish oil supplements.

"Based on the medical research and personal validation from our own clinical experience, fish oil supplements should be part of all cardiovascular treatment programs. Fish oil obtained directly from eating fish or from taking supplements decreases your risk of developing CVD and plaque. If you have plaque, it slows the rate at which plaque advances and protects against plaque rupture, thus decreasing the risk of heart attack, sudden death, atrial fibrillation, or arrhythmia." - 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.)

"A breath that smells distinctly like fish may be an all-too-obvious sign that your colleague is taking a lot of fish oil supplements for the omega-3 fatty acids.

"Another study with overweight adults in Australia found that those participants who had supplemented with fish oil and who had also followed an exercise program experienced more fat loss than those who had been given fish oil supplements alone but had not exercised or had been given a placebo with or without exercise.20 The subjects were not on a calorie-restricted diet and so the loss of fat was not associated with a lower calorie intake." - Wendy Bazilian, DRPH, MA, RD, Steven Pratt, MD, Kathy Matthews, Superfoods Rx Diet: Lose Weight with the Power of SuperNutrients (Get the book.)

"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. They're naturally rich in vitamins A and D which can be toxic in large doses. In addition, fish oil acts as a natural blood-thinner, so avoid mixing it with aspirin, garlic, ginkgo, or prescription blood-thinning medications. Get a lift from ginseng." - The Editors of FC&A, Unleash the Inner Healing Power of Foods (Get the book.)

"The assumption is that this is due to a deficiency of omega-3 fatty acids, as few women took fish oil supplements. These fatty acids have been shown to have positive effects on neurodevel-opment [18, 19], as have other nutrients found in fish, such as choline, zinc, and copper [20]. Although protective effects of other dietary components were not considered in the Australian study, there is evidence to suggest that selenium plays a protective role by reducing the bioavailability of mercury [21]. 3." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.) "The benefit of fish oil supplements is unknown and being tested. Higher blood levels of vitamin D could be related to other aspects of diet or lifestyle that could protect against AMD.

"While eating fish (preferably fatty fish) a couple times a week is a great way to achieve half a gram a day, reaching a whole gram a day may require eating foods enriched with fish omega-3s or taking fish oil supplements. And there's the rub. According to some omega-3 experts, vitamin E isn't as critical when you get your omega-3s from natural food sources like canola oil or ground flaxseed. "No need to add vitamin E to increasing fish intakes," says Richard Deckelbaum, MD, a lipid researcher and director of the Institute of Human Nutrition at Columbia University in New York." - 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.)

"In fact, the fish oil supplements now add vitamin E. The incredible dynamic between omega-3s and vitamin E is a great illustration of food synergy at work. Just like any oil, omega-3s easily combine with oxygen molecules (the process of oxidizing), rendering the fats useless to the body. Antioxidants like vitamin E step in on behalf of the omega-3s, slowing down oxidation and allowing the omega-3 s to do their good deeds longer. This example also illustrates how dietary supplements operate differently than natural foods in the body." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

"Cold-pressed sunflower, safflower, linseed and soya oils, salmon, herring and mackerel or fish oil supplements and evening primrose oil are good dietary sources of EFAs. We recommend cold-pressed oils only, as oils not labelled as refined in this way will have been extracted from their source using chemicals and are not as healthy for you. Add a selection of haricot, kidney or soya beans to your diet, and nuts such as walnuts, almonds and brazil nuts (peanuts and cashews are not as useful), for a varied combination of EFAs in your diet." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"Whether you take fish oil supplements daily or eat fish several times per week, try to average about 650 mg of EPA and DHA per day. Specific needs for DHA increase during pregnancy (see Chapter 16). (During pregnancy, cod liver oil may be a questionable choice due to the high content of vitamin A, a teratogen, in fish liver.28) Nutritional Supplements Vitamin E." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.) "Supplementing with fish oils should be done with purified fish oil supplements, which can reduce or practically eliminate exposure to mercury, PCBs, dioxins, and pesticides. Due to how we have contaminated our ocean waters and the wildlife that inhabits these waters, high-quality fish oils supplements may in fact be a safer alternative to fish in food form and enable us to gain the benefits of omega-3s while reducing the risk of toxicity." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"However, doctors caution women with with a tendency to bleed easily against taking fish oil supplements. PREMENSTRUAL SYNDROME (PMS)?GENERAL SYMPTOMS • Evening Primrose Oil Works for You The problem with most remedies for PMS is that symptoms vary so much from woman to woman.

"The researchers suggested that the combination reversed the moderate increase in LDL cholesterol that normally results from fish oil supplements. Synergy at work, perhaps? THE GOOD FATS YOU SHOULD GET According to the American Heart Association, an ideal diet includes a variety of fish (preferably fatty fish) at least twice a week. Specifically, aim for an average of 650 milligrams to 1 gram of fish omega-3s daily (preferably from food), and a total intake of 1.5-3 grams of plant omega-3s (amounts you can get by enjoying the following foods) also seems beneficial." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

"You should already be taking B vitamins in your multivitamin and getting extra omega-3s in flaxseed or fish oil supplements. Here are some more supplements that can improve your mitochondrial function. COENZYME Q10 (COQ10) Also known as "ubiquinone," CoQIO is essential for the production of energy in every cell of your body. It also helps your body maintain higher levels of vitamin C and E. CoQIO is found naturally in beef, soy, sardines, mackerel, peanuts, and organ meats.

"TAKE OMEGA-3 FISH OIL Because we need to be careful offish due to mercury, I recommend taking fish oil supplements (which have been checked for mercury) or flaxseed oil. These supplements will help you obtain the essential omega-3 fatty acids found in fish. Unlike trans fats, these oils lower your risk of heart disease and also lessen the inflammation that leads to a host of chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes and arthritis. Information on omega-3s is readily available, so I will keep this overview short." - Frank Lipman, Mollie Doyle, Spent: Revive: Stop Feeling Spent and Feel Great Again (Get the book.)

"Our Recommendations Use only pharmaceutical-grade fish oil supplements, which means purified products free of toxic substances such as mercury and PCBs (chlorinated compounds that contaminate the environment and accumulate in the bodies of fish and marine animals). Buy supplements from reputable manufacturers that ensure purity and that test their fish oil regularly for toxicity. For prevention, take 1 gram a day. Patients with known CAD, stent, bypass, or a history of heart attack will benefit from higher dosages. Some people prefer taking fish oil before bedtime because of the odor." - 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.)

"Oily fish like salmon and herring from cold-water oceans contain the least mercury, so are best to consume frequently, and fish oil supplements ensure your omega-3s are mercury-free. Several clinical and laboratory studies suggest omega-3 fatty acids can reduce the risk of breast, lung, prostate and colon cancers. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fatty acids comprised of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA); fish oil contains high amounts of EPA and DHA." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"In addition, urologists recommend fish oil supplements to help keep blood running freely throughout your body. In particular, EPA (eicos-apentainic acid) from fish oil works well in concert with vitamins C, E and beta-carotene to help reduce "stickiness" of blood through vessels. So, grilled fish, with perhaps a side of steamed spinach or carrots, could actually make for a very romantic dinner. Organic impotence is a vascular problem, and often accompanies diseases such as diabetes and chronic heart disease." - Bottom Line Books, Uncommon Cures For Everyday Ailments (Get the book.)

"Not everyone likes fish, some don't eat enough, and others simply can't eat it for a variety of reasons. The fish oil supplements available in most supermarkets, drug, and health food stores are excellent and they have been proven effective. These supplements are sold as fish oil supplements, and in some cases as EPA, which stands for eicosapentaenoic acid, the most important of the omega-3 oils. However you use them, two capsules daily can go a long way to improve your health and prevent cancer." - James Scala Ph.D., 20 Natural Ways to Reduce the Risk of Prostate Cancer : A Mind-Body Approach to Health and Well-Being (Get the book.)
