+ | ====== 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. | ||

+ | |||
+ | * **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. | ||

+ | Omega-3 linked to aggressive prostate cancer | ||
+ | By Laura Dean | ||
+ | 05 May 2011 | ||
+ | Am J Epidemiol 2011; Advance online publication | ||
+ | MedWire News: High levels of omega 3 (n-3) fatty acids, which are considered beneficial for coronary artery disease prevention, may increase the risk for high-grade prostate cancer, US research shows. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In contrast, trans-fatty acids (TFAs), abundant in processed foods that contain partially hydrogenated vegetable oils and considered harmful, may reduce high-grade prostate cancer risk, report Theodore Brasky (Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle, Washington) and colleagues. | ||
+ | |||
+ | "We were stunned to see these results and we spent a lot of time making sure the analyses were correct," | ||
+ | |||
+ | Brasky and team examined the association between inflammation-related phospholipid fatty acids (n-3, n-6, and TFAs) and prostate cancer risk because chronic inflammation is known to increase the risk of several cancers, and n-3 fatty acids, found primarily in fish and fish oil supplements, | ||
+ | |||
+ | They conducted a case-control analysis of 3461 men (1658 cases and 1803 controls) aged 55-84 years, who participated in the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial between 1994 and 2003. | ||
+ | |||
+ | As reported in the American Journal of Epidemiology, | ||
+ | |||
+ | In contrast, men with the highest levels of TFA 18:1 (>2.08% of total fatty acid) and TFA 18:2 (>0.26% of fatty acid) had a respective 45% and 52% lower risk for cancer than those with the lowest levels (<1.29% and <0.18% of total fatty acid, respectively). | ||
+ | |||
+ | Of note, no other fatty acids were associated with high-grade prostate cancer risk, and none were associated with low-grade prostate cancer risk (Gleason scores 2-7). | ||
+ | |||
+ | In spite of the findings, the researchers do not recommend that men should stop taking fish oil supplements or eating oily fish. " | ||
+ | |||
+ | "A comprehensive understanding of the effects of nutrients on a broad range of diseases will be necessary before making recommendations for dietary changes or use of individual dietary supplements for disease prevention," | ||
