Omega 3 and Cholesterol

A patient comes in this week to let me know that he has been taking our Omega 3 for two weeks. He had a blood test with total cholesterol of 190's about a month ago. He has his updated cholesterol test last week and it dropped to 160.

CAN YOUR OMEGA 3 DO THIS?

Test your Omega 3 supplement with ours:

Fill up 2 styrofoam cups with water and put them on a tray. Open up the contents of our Omega 3 into one cup and the contents of a competitor's omega 3 in another cup. Allow them to sit for at least a half hour. Come back and observe what happens.

What happened to us when we had tried it was that the water leakage due to our Omega 3 eating away at the cup it warped one of our desks because it was left over the weekend!

IMAGINE WHAT IT COULD DO TO THE CHOLESTEROL IN YOUR ARTERIES!

Allow us to test how much Omega 3 your body needs, because one capsule will dissolve one styrofoam cup, but you are MUCH BIGGER than a styrofoam cup!

Not to mention all of the other benefits of Omega 3 fatty acids:

-balancing the omega 6: omega 3 ratio
-ratio should be 1:1
-REALITY: Ratio is 12:1 due to our poor diet = IMFLAMMATION AND PAIN

-improving the brain and nervous system
-building blocks for brain tissue
-improves certain types of depression and other psychiatric disorders

-important component in reducing cholesterol

-improves high blood pressure

-decreases risk of heart disease

-may help with arthritis

-ADD and ADHD

-skin disorders

-other inflammatory conditions

-asthma

-macular degeneration

-cancer: colon, breast, prostate

So with only a small imcomplete list of benefits, why should you hold off taking Omega 3?
