Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids (EFA’s)

Anti-Inflammation, Hormone Regulating Fats

Essential Fatty Acids, especially Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids, are an absolute requirement in the human diet, hence the term “essential.” The American diet is grossly deficient in Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids. Flax and fish oil are the primary sources of Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids.

Deficiencies of Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids contribute to subtle body-wide inflammation which in turn is associated with over 60 known diseases including:

  •  overweight and obesity
  •  heart disease
  •  cancer
  •  arthritis
  •  stroke
  •  allergies
  •  asthma
  •  autoimmune disease
  •  neurological disease
  •  psoriasis and eczema
  •  high blood pressure

The list above mentions only a few of the 60+ diseases associated with Essential Fatty Acid deficiency! Daily supplementation of Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids is one of the healthiest choices one can make to prevent these many Essential Fatty Acid deficiency-associated diseases. The Essential Fatty Acids are SO important that the U.S. Government officially recommended in 2003 that Americans get more Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids in their diet.

The best sources of Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids are derived primarily from flax and fish oil (salmon is a rich source).

The Wellness Club Offers You 3 Convenient Choices for Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acid Supplementation:

Organic Flax Oil Capsules

Essential Fatty Acids in Capsule Convenience

Description- The richest source of alpha-linolenic acid, an essential Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acid. Only 100% certified organic flax seed is used, and the oil is mechanically cold-pressed below 96F to ensure potency and purity.

Suggested dose 1-2 Capsules, 3 times per day.

Dr. Myatt’s comment: Flax oil is the most cost-effective Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acid oil. Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acid oils are derived primarily from fatty fish and flax seeds. Supplementation with Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids can “tip the scales” in favor of anti-inflammation.

Each (1) softgel capsule contains:

Flax seed oil – 1,000 mg, from 100% organic, unrefined virgin flax seed.

Average analysis:
Alpha-linolenic acid 550-600 mg,

Whole Flax Seed

Essential Fatty Acids PLUS Superior Fiber

Whole flax seeds are the very best way to obtain Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids AND superior fiber. Consider these benefits:

  1. Flax oil is fragile and goes rancid quickly. When the Omega-3’s Essential Fatty Acids are released from freshly ground flax, the oil is absolutely fresh. No problems with rancidity! Whole flax seed is very stable and will keep for months, sometimes even years, in the unground state.
  2. Lignans: this special class of fiber is found in some vegetables, but highest in flax. Lignans are powerful anti-cancer agents that help keep hormone levels normal. Lignans may be more potent than the drug Tamoxifen for lowering / normalizing female estradiols. (Potent estrogens associated with cancer). Lignans also add to daily fiber consumption and help improve bowel tone.

Fresh flax is easily ground (takes about 6 seconds), adds easily to food or beverages (see recipes on page 130 of The Holistic Health Handbook) and has a sweet, mild, nutty flavor the whole family will enjoy.

FOOD ALLERGIES

Hidden Cause of Many Health Problems

Food allergies are inappropriate physical reactions to food. These may range from life-threatening anaphylactic reactions to subtle sensitivities that chronically challenge the immune system. Symptoms may include dark circles and puffiness under the eyes, diarrhea or irritable bowels, chronic infections, inflammation, and any of the diseases or symptoms listed below. These negative reactions to food are also called “food intolerance,” “food sensitivities,” or “toxic food reactions.”

Even some foods that are considered “good foods” may be a source of symptoms or disease if one has a personal allergy to same. The expression “One man’s meat is another man’s poison” accurately describes this phenomenon.

Diseases associated with food allergies include:

Acne, anxiety, arthritis, arrhythmia, asthma, autoimmune diseases, bedwetting, chronic and recurrent bladder infections, chronic bronchitis, canker sores, celiac disease, colitis, chronic diarrhea, depression, chronic ear infections (especially in children), eczema, edema, fatigue, gallbladder disease, gastritis, glaucoma, hay fever, headaches, hives, childhood hyperactivity, hypoglycemia, irritable bowel syndrome, irritability, insomnia, itching, kidney disease, malabsorption, mental confusion, migraines, mood disorder, overweight, personality changes, seizures, sinusitis, skin rash, chronic nasal congestion, chronic sinusitis, chronic infections in general, and others.

If you suffer from any of the above-listed diseases or symptoms and have not yet found a cure for your complaint, food allergy testing will certainly be worth your while.

The immune system has many different mechanisms that can cause a reaction to food. Food allergy symptoms may come on immediately OR up to four days after eating an offending food, so allergies are difficult to pinpoint by merely “observing” food reactions. A food allergy blood test can determine food allergies, sensitivities and “intolerances” and recommend a rotation diet to prevent these reactions.

Diet And Lifestyle Recommendations

An “elimination/challenge diet” can help determine food allergies, but such an avoidance diet is difficult for most people to do AND many offending foods can be “missed” through this method.

Food allergy testing using blood (a finger-stick which you can collect yourself) is accurate and can quickly pinpoint difficult-to-detect food allergies.

Primary Support

  • Maxi Multi: 3 caps, 3 times per day with meals. This daily “multiple” contains high potency antioxidants. If you use another formula, be sure to use only those that are hypoallergenic, since additives in vitamin supplements can cause reactions.
  • Omega 3 fatty acids:
    Flax seed meal    , 2 teaspoons per day with food
    OR
     Flax seed capsules: 2-4 caps, 3 times per day (target dose range: 6-12 caps per day)
    OR
     Flax seed oil: 1 tablespoon per day
    OR
     Max EPA (Omega-3 rich fish oil): 1-2 caps, 3 times per day with meals (target dose: 3-6 caps per day).

An imbalance of Omega 6 to Omega 3 fatty acid ratios, common in the American diet, leads to hypersensitivity and excess inflammation. Increasing Omega-3 fatty acid intake decreases the tendency to inflammation and “hyper” immune reactions.

  • Similase: 1-2 caps, 3 times per day with meals. This digestive enzyme formula improves digestion and absorption of foods. It is known that incomplete protein digestion can trigger allergies, especially those that appear food-related.
  • Since a decrease of gastric acid production is a leading cause of food allergy in adults, a Gastric Acid Function Self-Test should be performed.

Additional Support

  • Vitamin C: 3,000 – 9,000 mg per day in divided doses (buffered vitamins C is best when taking higher doses). High dose vitamin C decreases histamine levels when taken over time.
  • Grape Seed Extract: 1 cap, 3 times per day with meals. (Target dose: 150-300mg daily). Grape seed extract acts as a natural anti-histamine with a more immediate effect than vitamin C. It is also a potent antioxidant.

How I Evaluate Holistic Health Information and Avoid Being Duped

Summary: Learn how to evaluate “holistic medical” information like a professional, and avoid scams, quacks, rip-offs and as-yet-unproven therapies.

Hardly a day goes by that I am not asked, “Dr. Myatt, have you heard of such-and-such a therapy / remedy / herb / whatever.”

With thousands if not hundreds of thousands of “cures” and “new treatments” being touted, how do I separate the grain from the chaff and still have time to sleep?

Here’s how:

  • If I’ve never heard of it, that’s a bad sign. My research team and I spend much of the day reading medical journals – both conventional and alternative – in addition to news, editorials and “new cure” puff (sales) pieces. All new breakthroughs or “just discovered” research appears someplace. If there are no references except those put out by the manufacturer, my “bogus meter” starts to buzz. Even conventional medicine and its many drug-company ploys have been known to set off my alarm.
  • I subscribe to the “conspiracy theory,” but I don’t go overboard. Yes, the government, the FDA and Big Pharma really do ignore worthy treatments and cures if they can’t figure out how to make a buck from them. There’s a lot of skullduggery that goes on to be sure. But when someone tells me that I’ve never heard of a remedy because the government is suppressing it, I know that’s bogus. Even with suppressed therapies, you’ll find references and information about the subject in medical journals and alternative sources. For example, “The Black Salve” (used for melanoma skin cancer) will never be FDA approved. In fact, it’s difficult to get hold of. But you will find plenty of references to it, many of them credible. Even “outlawed” remedies will still have plenty of references in the holistic medical literature.
  • The Cure has “Testimonials only.” Oh yeah, lots of people are saying “this works great!” Who are these people, and how do I even know that these are legitimate testimonials? Further, if a lot of people say a product or remedy works great, someone would be taking up the cause and doing legitimate research to see if this “remedy” is reproducible. For any remedy you can name, I can find several people who swear it works. But remember, even a clock that has stopped working tells the correct time twice a day. Testimonials are good, but they should not supplant reproducible studies on a drug, herb, magnet or other remedy.
  • The only people who have studied the remedy are the one(s) selling it. “Dr. So-and-so” is the developer of aura-strengthening magnets which cure all disease. He’s been researching this for twenty years and used it on 5,000 patients. It works, and you can buy it from him. And by the way, no one else has done independent research on this product. (Probably because the Government is suppressing it – right?)
  • I check references. (The scientific references in support of a product or therapy). No references? Not a good sign. One lab rat study, reported 357 times on the internet (making each of those look like separate references) doesn’t cut it. References that don’t really support the claims? (’cause they thought no one would bother to check references) I’m outta’ here…

Life is short. I’m sure that by not examining 100 unproven remedies a day I might be overlooking one or two promising therapies a month. But there are so many proven therapies for everything that ails humankind, how much time should I spend on the “as-yet-unprovens”? Besides, if the “new thing” in question is legit, I know I’ll see or hear about it again, and soon. You can’t keep a good cure down.

Until I have confidence that a new treatment, product or other medical cure is effective, I’ll stick with what works and is scientifically verifiable and clinically reproducible. There are more than enough reliable remedies in the entire holistic health armamentarium to cure or control almost every disease, and new and provable ones are added to that list every day.

And that’s “the rest of the story.”

CoQ10 (ubiquinone)

Super-Energizer and Potent Antioxidant

CoQ10 is a naturally-occurring antioxidant produced in the human body. It is vitally involved in energy production. CoQ10 functions as an “energizer” to mitochondria, the body’s energy producing units. Mitochondria, which produce energy the body’s “energy currency,” ATP, require CoQ10 to “spark” their production of energy units (ATP). Muscles, and the heart in particular, have high requirements for CoQ10.

CoQ10 is a potent antioxidant beneficial for:

  • Heart Disease (angina, arrhythmia, atherosclerosis, cardiomyopathy, heart failure, congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction (1-18)
  • High Blood Pressure (1,3,4,14, 53, 55)
  • Neurological disease (Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s, Parkinson’s) (19-37)
  • Immune deficiency and AIDS (40-45,52)
  • Periodontal disease (38-39)
  • Cancer (40, 44-49)
  • Chemotherapy side-effects (50-52)
  • Diabetes (53-56)
  • Muscular dystrophy (57-58)
  • fatigue / chronic fatigue / fibromyalgia (59-61)
  • migraine headache (62-63)
  • enhancing athletic performance (64-68)
  • male infertility (69-73)

CoQ10 is produced by the body, but age, nutrient deficiencies, disease and some medications can lower the body’s CoQ10 levels. Cholesterol-lowering drugs (statins) deplete CoQ10. (15,54,74-77)

Studies have shown that the oil-preserved form is up to 3 times better absorbed than other forms. (78-80)

Although many claims are currently made for a “new” form (ubiquinol) being “more absorbable” than ubiquinone, this has never been proven or well-studied. Learn more about this issue here: Ubiquinone (CoQ10) versus Ubiquinol: Which Is Better?

CoQ10 and it’s use in CHF (Congestive Heart Failure):

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19966871
“… Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is essential for electron transport within the mitochondria and hence for ATP generation and cellular energy production. We recently demonstrated that plasma levels of CoQ10 are an independent predictor of survival in a cohort of 236 patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) followed for a median of 2.69 years. This is consistent with previous studies which have shown myocardial CoQ10 depletion in CHF, and correlated with the severity of the underlying disorder. Several intervention studies have been undertaken with CoQ10 in CHF, including randomized controlled trials with mostly positive outcomes in relation to improvement in plasma levels of CoQ10. A meta-analysis showed that CoQ10 resulted in an improvement in ejection fraction of 3.7% (95%CI 1.59-5.77) and the mean increase in cardiac output was 0.28 L/minute (95%CI 0.03-0.53). In a subgroup analysis, studies with patients not taking ACE inhibitors found a 6.7% increase in ejection fraction. The ongoing Q-SYMBIO trial will address whether CoQ10 supplementation improves survival in CHF patients. CoQ10 depletion may also be a contributory factor for why statin intervention has not improved outcomes in CHF. There is an emerging evidence base in support of CoQ10 as an adjunctive therapy in CHF.”

“…The majority of the clinical studies concerned the treatment of heart disease and were remarkably consistent in their conclusions: that treatment with CoQ10 significantly improved heart muscle function while producing no adverse effects or drug interactions. …”

Dr. Myatt’s Conclusion:
CoQ10 is beneficial for nearly every type of Heart Disease (angina, arrhythmia, atherosclerosis, cardiomyopathy, heart failure, congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction (1-18)

Suggested dose:

50-100 mg per day for health maintenance and anti-aging / longevity programs.

200 to 400 mg per day for heart problems, cancer, weight loss programs and other indications.

Studies performed by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) using Vitaline ™ brand CoQ10, have used 300-400 mg (or more under medical direction) per day.

Each Capsule contains:

50 or 100 mg capsules are Wellness Club brand oil-preserved CoQ10 in easy to swallow gel Caps with Vitamin E & Beta carotene as natural preservatives.

300 and 400mg tablets are Vitaline/Integrative Therapeutics chewable wafers, the exact formulas used in the NIH Parkinson’s trials.

Vitaline CoQ10

High-potency CoQ10 by VitalineVitaline brand CoQ10 is THE CoQ10 that has been the subject of NIH studies and a recent trial showing its potential value in Parkinson’s patients.

Co10 has been shown to be potentially helpful for:

  • neurological health
  • cardiovascular health
  • anti-aging and longevity

NOTE: Vitaline® brand CoQ10 is available under several different labels.

Vitaline CoQ10 Vitaline Vitaline Co-Enzyme Q10 Integrative Therapeutics
is the “Doctors Only” label Enzymatic Therapy
is the “Health Food Store” label Vitaline under the “Vitaline Formulas” Label is the same product

THESE ARE ALL THE EXACT SAME PRODUCT That Is Used In The NIH Studies
All are made by Vitaline and given different labels.

Product # N313 Vitaline (60 chewable wafers 300 mg With Vitamin E) 97.00

Product # N334 Vitaline (60 chewable wafers 300 mg WITHOUT Vit. E) 97.00

Product # N335 Vitaline (90 chewable wafers 400 mg WITHOUT Vit. E) 197.00

Vitaline, Vitamin E, and Vitamin E safety:

Some people (including some doctors) have a mistaken fear of Vitamin E, believing that “too much is dangerous.”

We have been unable to find any evidence in medical or scientific literature of any danger from taking large doses of Vitamin E. The National Institutes for Health (NIH) a US government authority places the maximum daily intake of Vitamin E at 1500 IU for healthy adults.

High intake of Vitamin E intake does tend to “thin” the blood, affecting coagulation by inhibiting platelet aggregation. People using antigoagulants or who bleed too easily may wish to discuss the use of Vitamin E with theri doctor.It has also been reported that Vitamin E in high doses may block the action of Vitamin K which is known as “the clotting factor.”

According to the label information and the Enzymatic Therapy website:

Vitaline® CoQ10 – 300 mg WITH Vitamin E contains 300 IU Vitamin E per chewable tab.

Vitaline® CoQ10 – 400 mg WITH Vitamin E contains 200 IU Vitamin E per chewable tab.

In order to achieve the daily intake of Vitamin E that you or your health care provider wish you to have you can either use a different tablet strength, either 300 or 400 mg to achieve 1200mg per day or mix your intake between Vitaline WITH and Vitaline WITHOUT Vitamin E to achieve your preferred daily intake of Vitamin E.
