+ | ====== Fish oil and omega 3 fatty acids ====== | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | |||
+ | Because omega 3 essential fatty acids have been shown to contain components that slow immune activity, Marshall Protocol (MP) patients should avoid consuming them. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||

+ | ===== Oils that contain omega 3 essential fatty acids ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | * cod liver oil | ||
+ | * fish oil | ||
+ | * flax seed oil | ||

+ | ===== Oils may contain vitamin D ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | All supplemental oils may contain vitamin D, the consumption of which is contraindicated for MP patients. | ||
+ | |||
+ | < | ||
+ | One of the sarcoidosis patients wrote to the manufacturer and was told that Primrose Oil has a significant quantity of Vitamin D in it. An excessive quantity, in fact. Enough to disable the immune system from killing the L-form bacteria. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In my opinion, you don't need essential fatty acids. You need to throw off your Th1 disease. When you are healthy again you will not be interested in (or need) any of these supplements. | ||

+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Greater consumption of omega 3's has been shown to reduce inflammation and immune activity.(({{pubmed> | ||
+ | |||
+ | * **Omega 3's contain components which suppress TNF-alpha** – Cytokines are regulatory proteins, such as TNF-alpha, that are released by cells of the immune system and act as intercellular mediators in the generation of an immune response. The omega 3 fatty acids, for example, contain several components which may interfere with the activity of TNF-alpha and other important cytokines. | ||

+ | He asks his colleges to advise for caution about supplementing with Omega-3, while patients having the swine flu. | ||
