Do you realize there have been thousands of studies that have shown omega 3 fish oil to be natures most effective and potent anti-inflammatory available today?

And did you also know omega 3 fatty acids have been found to be just as effective (if not more so) and certainly a lot safer and less expensive than the three best selling prescription drugs.

And, that's despite the fact that, like all pharmaceuticals, these three types of drugs have never cured a single person of depression, hypertension, arthritis or headaches. At best, they only suppress symptoms in a small percentage of people who take them.

Of course, it goes without saying that these prescriptions drugs are highly controversial as well as they are dangerous. Actually, they are only effective on a small percentage of prescribers and when they are effective it is only at masking the symptoms not curing the disease.

Many of these drugs have grave side effects that actually do more harm than good. In addition, these drugs may require additional prescription drugs to counteract the damaging effect of the first. For example, Vioxx, had to be taken off the market because the side effects were so severe that they caused heart attacks and strokes.

When you get right down to it, almost all bad health is caused by poor lifestyle choices. Lousy diet, smoking, alcohol abuse, lack of exercise and excess weight gain. It has nothing to do with a deficiency of drugs.

And one of the safest, most effective and natural ways to both prevent and relieve depression, high blood pressure and inflammatory pain without resorting to prescription drugs is to eat fatty fish such as salmon, sardines, herring or tuna at least two or three times a week and take a good quality daily fish oil supplement.

And here's the evidence.

Depressed people have significantly lower total omega 3 levels (Journal of Affective Disorders, Vol. 26, No. 38, 35-46), while omega 3 supplements showed significant benefits in just three weeks of treatment (American Journal of Psychiatry, Vol. 159:477-479). In other studies, omega 3 fatty acids were found to be an effective treatment for bipolar disorder (Archives of General Psychiatry, Vol. 56 No. 5) and borderline personality disorder patients (American Journal of Psychiatry, Vol. 160:167-169).

And fish oil is so highly effective at lowering blood pressure the American Heart Association (AHA) and the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) recommend everyone eat cold water, fatty fish at least a couple of times a week.

The AHA and NIH that people with symptoms of heart disease such as high blood pressure take daily fish oil supplements that contain at least one gram of combined omega 3 DHA and EPA fatty acids also recommend it.

And as far as inflammatory arthritis and headache pain relief is concerned, omega 3 fish oil has been found to be nature's most safest, potent and effective alternative to over the counter NSAIDs such as Advil, Motrin, Nuprin and Aleve and other anti-inflammatories (Arthritis and Rheumatism, Vol. 38: 1107-14.)

In fact, in many of the scientific studies reviewed, patients were able to greatly reduce and even totally eliminate prescribed pain medications after starting an omega 3 fish oil treatment program.

And, if you're concerned about toxins in fish oil, the Harvard University School of Public Health says you can sit back, relax and enjoy your broiled salmon dinner. After reviewing all the relative studies, they recently confirmed fish oil benefits far outweigh the threat of mercury or other toxins in fish by as much as 500 to one. (Journal of the American Medical Association 2006, Vol. 296: 1885-99)

Besides, if you look, you can find high quality omega 3 fish oil supplements that are fully guaranteed to be absolutely pure and totally free of all toxicity (www.omega-3.us).

So before starting on a program of either of these drugs or if you are already on a program, consider eating more fish and taking omega 3 fish oil supplements. Who knows? Maybe you'll get equal or better results, avoid side effects and save a lot of money at the same time. That sounds pretty good, don't you think?
