*aiding digestion

Naturally sourced fish oil is the most potent source of the Omega 3 fatty acids. The most effective nutrients come from natural sources. When you buy Omega3, make sure it is naturally sourced.

There are good fish oil and bad fish oil. Bad fish oil can come from eating fish that are contaminated with heavy metal toxins like mercury and PCBs. There are many bodies of water where the fish caught should NOT be eaten and these contaminants also tend to concentrate in the fatty acids and should be avoided.

The best fish oil is processed pure and is 100% free from any contaminants, and has a low oxidation (decomposition) levels for freshness. It should also be in a natural form, meaning natural triglyceride or ethyl ester form oil, not manufactured synthetically.

Omega3/DHA is a "Super" anti-inflammatory. Higher levels of DHA mean higher levels of action against inflammation.

A blend of hoki oil and concentrated ester tuna oil, does something inexplicable, it more than doubles its anti-inflammatory action. This has been dubbed the "X-factor" because of this synergistic action.

"Trinity Bioactives", part of Wellington School of Medicine in New Zealand has studied this phenomena and has established Omega 3 oils that have this specific blend provides "2 times" the anti-inflammation action of standard fish oil and more than double that of refined and concentrated fish oil. So when you choose to buy omega 3 oils--make sure you are getting this formula.

Inflammation reduction is a big reason many choose to buy Omega 3. In the article "The Secret Killer" in Time Magazine (May 2004), they offer solutions like aspirin, Statins, Beta Blockers and ACE inhibitors, or you could just buy some Omega 3 fish oil. It is much stronger than aspirin, but is gentle on your stomach.

Now you can buy Omega 3/DHA in higher concentrations of anti-inflammatory properties than you can get by eating fish. Newer supplements on the market have some of the most highly effective fish oil concentrates, higher than normal fish oil that many people buy.

Omega 3 Fatty acids and in particular DHA have been linked to improved brain function.

Taking Omega 3 fatty acids or fish oils on a regular basis has been shown to reduce the risk of Alzheimer's by 60%.

The American Heart Association has issued guidelines based on clinical studies that show Omega 3 fatty acids found in fish oil have proven benefits for heart health, and they recommend a daily dosage.

In conclusion, when you buy Omega 3/DHA, and start taking it, you will realize many health benefits based on proven clinical studies. Look for Omega 3 in a concentrated supplement, with high amounts of DHA for the best results.

Have you ever wondered why some children see doctors more frequently, are on antibiotics many times in a years time and yet never seem well ?

The reason is simple; medications ruin the body's defense mechanism. That is putting it simply. Steroids, antibiotics and other meds commonly dosed out to children, destroy the delicate balance in the intestinal tract that makes it possible to assimilate nutrition and grow and heal.

These small children begin to see life as a series of doctors visits; and more than that, they will never get entirely well. Intermittently they will be well enough until the next round of sniffles comes and off they will be rushed to the doctor. Their reality will be a life of sore throats, runny noses, diarrhea that goes into constipation, inability to enjoy food, allergies, headaches, lethargy, apathy, maybe early onset arthritis, and the list goes on. What is the answer?

On occasion, medicines are needed but not for every cough and sniffle. Break out the homeopathic remedies, vitamin C, fresh fruit juices and herbal teas. Unless you have a very ill child, a cold or flu will not kill that child. Have faith in the healing intelligence of the body. The body employs a certain Healing Intelligence that far surpasses what we humans can fathom. See the bodies of everyone in your family, especially young children as bodies of champions. Start to flex those healing muscles for the entire family.

Fevers with the young and old should never run too high; and yet the body burns out infection and disease with a fever. If a fever is always suppressed, what message does that give to the body? Let a fever run it's course was an old saying that quite possibly sounds like grounds for jail time now; however, parents must realize that the body actually knows what it is doing far better than we can understand. It has an Internal and High Intelligence that can turn the tide even in near death situations, and often does.

No one but a parent can make the decision between getting to an ER or letting a fever burn itself out; however, vigilance and conscious care should alert when enough is enough in the natural healing arena.

Children should never have soda, and absolutely not when they are ill. Fresh, hand squeezed, or organic bottled juices are the best thing for sick children. Rest is imperative, and if I can go on record, even from computers and televisions at close range. Those transmissions at close range are detrimental to the immune system. Homemade soups are good food. Vitamin C, maybe Ginger, Chamomile or Dandelion & Echinacea tea with stevia or honey will soothe and assist the body to do its job. Sometimes recurring symptoms are a cry for love and attention so give it when a child is sick and again when they are well.

Have pure herbal oils in the home and castor oil. Create packs that can be warmed and placed on backs and chests. Oils can also be dropped in cool tub water to help bring down a fever. Try to get the fever under control a bit even if you have decided to take the trip to the doctors office. Now that we have covered some warm and cozy alternatives to the habitual running to a doctors office, lets go back to reminders why we want to have the courage to teach children how great their body is designed.

Being balanced in regards to health will support health in your child. To know they get well naturally from very normal cleansing illnesses, colds and flu, will make them strong and confident. They will realize how to access their inner strength. Fortify your home today, before illness appears. Make it an arsenal, so to speak, of healthy feel good remedies that strengthen the body's immune defenses: Echinacea, goldenseal, dandelion, vitamin C (always) herbal teas for children, tuck away organic bottled juice (if you don't juice yourself) and make homemade soups. Support children to be healthy strong adults.

Children are as varied as adults. Some have more energy, others are inquisitive, creative, inventive; and then, there are those that may be ill. Those that come in ill, with a low mineral bank account should be supported with minerals and enzymes. Remember that medication destroys the integrity of the intestinal tract to absorb nutrients and after continued use the child is more depleted and now has candida yeast overgrowth and compromised gut or leaky bowel syndrome.

As every child is unique, every instance is different. If you have a child that needs medications to stay alive then make sure they get probiotics, vitamins and minerals (and I do not mean the one every day kind). See that they stay regular, which means that they have a bowel movement once or twice a day. Make fresh juices for the child, only buy organic, and drop out sugars, soda or anything white or denatured. You can still take charge and watch the miracle as your child begins getting stronger. Your entire family will be a family of champions because of your courage to take conscious control.

I am a Nutritionist and Naturopath but I have taken my children and myself to the doctor, only when necessary and not that often. Being balanced is the key. Doctors are necessary and so is thoughtful self care.
