Dear Member,
Last week, I told you about the benefits of getting the right fats in your diet. You heart and brain depends on them. In fact, every cell in your body relies on a healthy dose of omega-3s to function properly.
But the amount of omega-3s in your food keeps shrinking. Even your “heart-healthy” salmon may not have the omega-3s you need. (And it might contain toxic mercury…)
Now before you ask, “Dr. Sears, why doesn’t salmon have omega-3s anymore…” – let me cut to the chase: Your food supply has been altered.
Salmon used to be one the healthiest foods on the planet. So was a nice fat New York strip! But not anymore. Why? Unless you’re willing to pay $18 to $22 a pound for wild salmon, all the salmon you buy at your local grocery store is “farm-raised.” On these fish farms, salmon are fed cereal grains instead of their natural diet of algae and wild shrimp.
As a result, they develop very high levels of arachidonic acid. This is a fat from the omega-6 family and is highly inflammatory. And inflammation leads to health problems including joint pain and heart disease.
Farm-raised salmon have no access to their natural diet. This changes their physiology. Their flesh simply doesn’t have the omega-3s that wild salmon does. The cereal grains they eat during their “captivity” prevents the natural production of omega-3s. On average, wild salmon has 33% more omega-3s than farm-raised salmon do.1
What’s more, the high levels of omega-6s in farm-raised salmon make the remaining omega-3s almost unusable by your body. The dominant omega-6s take all the conversion enzymes and produce inflammatory compounds. The healthy omega-3s get ignored and are never converted into the anti-inflammatory compounds you really need.
The story with steak and cattle is exactly the same. The steak you eat comes from grain-fed cattle. Which sounds great, except that Nature designed cattle to eat grass – not grains! The result is the same too: Sick animals that produce meat with no natural nutrients, very high amounts of omega-6s and little to no omega-3s.
In the old days, a good steak had more omega-3s than fish! But today, their levels are zip! And this steady decline of omega-3s in your food increases your risk for a host of health problems.
- Heart disease
- Stroke
- Diabetes
- Arthritis
- Depression
- Skin disorders
- Macular degeneration
Of course they do… These are the most common diseases and afflictions of our time. And they’re all preventable – even reversible – when you get a sufficient supply of omega-3s on a daily basis. The kind you get from Dr. Sears’ Brand Cod Liver Oil.
Scores of clinical reports back this up. Here are just a few…
- The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported a study that showed that fish oil lowers triglyceride levels. Triglycerides are fats in your blood linked to heart disease. The participants took a fish oil supplement or a placebo. Those taking the fish oil had a decrease in triglycerides which reduced their chance of heart disease by 25%. The subjects taking the placebo showed no
significant reduction.
- Cod Liver Oil helps with depression too. In 1999, The Archives of General Psychiatry published an intriguing study, which proved a link. Depressed patients took a fish oil supplement or a placebo for 4 months. An overwhelming 64% of patients taking the fish oil reported a significant reduction in symptom. (Fish oil works on depression by introducing omega-3s to brain cells. The higher the level of omega-3s, the easier it is for the chemical messenger serotonin to carry messages from one brain cell to another. This directly affects symptoms of depression.)
- Researchers from the National Eye Institute found that docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) supports the nerves in the retina. DHA is one of the primary ingredients in cod liver oil. Over 4,500 people from the ages of 60-80 participated in the National Eye Institutes study. People who supplemented with cod liver oil were 50% less likely to develop macular degeneration that those who didn’t.
Cod liver oil is simply the easiest, most reliable way to get the omega-3s you need every day. And it costs just pennies a day – literally!
My own brand of cod liver oil will set you back just 36 cents a day!
Imagine preventing heart disease and strokes, lengthening your life, eliminating joint pain, improving your memory and boosting your good cholesterol – for 36 cents a day!
If you ever come across a better deal, let me know about it!
But here’s the real kicker… This is a new product, so I only have a limited number. Unless you order now, you may have to wait until I can import another batch. (Don’t ask me when that will be, I don’t know yet…)
So don’t cheat yourself out of a good deal. Just click here and get yours today!
To Your Good Health,
Al Sears, MD
P.S. – I’m sure some of you are wondering about that “fishy” taste. Don’t worry! My cod liver oil has no fishy aftertaste. Just a crisp lemon/lime flavor.
P.P.S. – One more thing… My cod liver oil comes from the icy-cold, pristine waters of the Norwegian Sea, and is completely free of mercury, PCBs, and dioxins!
