I am currently teaching the Brilliant Body Course online. Omega 3 was coming up in so many body systems: Circulatory, Nervous, Immune, Glandular/Endocrine, and Structural.
It reminded of the importance of Omega 3 and I thought it was time to add some additional notes about this critical supplement in which many people are deficient.
Omega 3 been part of our Daily Insurance program for decades, available as Super Trio. This convenient Pack consists of Super Omega 3, Super Vitamins and Minerals, and Super N-TOX ( a super Anti-oxidant), conveniently packaged as 60 packets with 1 of each. Great for busy people and those not following a specific natural health regime.
Omega 3 is also part of the Basic 4 supplements for the Paw Paw Program for Cancer.
Then I saw this article on the importance of Omegas for Concussions in the June issue of The Herbal Collective. I have expanded upon this article and hope you will add this important reminder of care for head injuries to the long list of benefits of Omegas.
Who gets concussions?
Out of the 3 to 4.5 million concussions every year, nearly 2,000,000 are children
aged nineteen or younger who are treated in emergency rooms for sports and recreational-
related head trauma.
The list for sports-related brain trauma includes soccer, hockey, lacrosse, wrestling,
playgrounds, bicycles, baseball,football, skateboards, horse-back riding, and falls.
Symptoms of Concussion
According to CDC, the most common symptoms of concussion are headaches,
brain fog, fatigue, lack of energy, personality and mood changes, anxiety, irritability, and a type of vertigo called BPPV ( Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo).
Sometimes symptoms may not be readily apparent for days or even a couple of weeks.
The Essential Fats Protocol:
How do omegas help treat brain injury? “The brain is made of fat and about 30
percent of that fat is what are called omega-3 fatty acids, (Super Omega 3)”, says Udo Erasmus, author of ” Fats That Heal, Fats That Kill”.
“We’ve learned if we saturate the brain with what it is made of, we can create the nutritional foundation making it possible for the brain to heal itself.”
Erasmus says most people do not get enough Omega 3 fatty acids which come from cold water fish like salmon, nuts and seeds like flax and chia seeds and walnuts.
Following a concussion, Udo recommends 3 grams of a balanced omega 3-6-9 oil (Super Oil) in the morning noon, and night which will supply 9 grams of combined bioactive essential fatty acids daily. This nutritional support should continue for at least a week, or until symptoms abate, whichever is longer, at which time supplementation should continue at gradually reduced dosages.
In my experience, many people do get more Omega 6, and 9’s via their diet, so are more deficient in the Omega 3’s, so we often see the need for Super Omega 3, which is 1000 mg. from quality tested sources. It contains a balance of EPA and DHA.
Additional benefits of essential fatty acids as reported by CDC:
*Improve heart rate and rhythm
*Reduce triglycerides and high blood pressure
*Lessen the effects of chronic inflammation on the heart and blood vessels
*Reduce the risk of angina, heart attack, and stroke
* Provide the body with more energy, help stabilize the weight or aid in weight loss * Enhance the immune system * Prevent and reduce inflammation * Provide more nourished and healthy skin.
* Omega 3 fatty acids are an integral part of cell membranes throughout the body (thus required for healthy cellular regeneration)
* Provide a starting point for making hormones *Omegas have important benefits for the heart, brain and metabolism *Considered specific for nervous conditions such as MS, Parkinsons, Dementia, including Alzheimer’s.
