The Top 3 Drugs Compared to Omega 3 Fish Oil
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?
Do you also realize that omega 3 fatty acids have also been found effective, actually more effective in most cases then the top three prescription drugs on the market today, not to mention a whole lot safer and less expensive?
Yet Americans spend only about $300 million on fish oil supplements and over $30 billion on antidepressants, high blood pressure drugs and anti-inflammatory arthritis and headache pain relievers - the top selling three classes of drugs.
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.
And they have serious side effects that may do more harm than good. They often require patients to take yet another questionable drug to counteract the damaging effect of the first. Some of these drugs, such as Vioxx, were even taken off the market because they were found to cause heart attacks and strokes.
Regardless of how attractive tv commercials make these prescription drugs out to be they are dangerous at best. Whenever possible, prescription drugs should be avoided and natural alternative treatments perused instead.
Are you aware there are other safer, more natural ways to both prevent and relieve depression, high blood pressure and inflammatory pain without resorting to prescription drugs? And one of the best alternatives 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.
People with depression have significantly lower total omega 3 levels (Journal of Affective Disorders, Vol. 26, No. 38, 35-46). Omega 3 supplements showed significant benefits in just three weeks of treatment (American Journal of Psychiatry, Vol. 159:477-479). Omega 3 fatty acids were also found to be effective treatments for both bipolar disorder (Archives of General Psychiatry, Vol. 56 No. 5) and borderline personality disorder patients (American Journal of Psychiatry, Vol. 160:167-169).
Studies have also found that fish oil is highly effective at lowering blood pressure. The American Heart Association (AHA) and the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) recommend that you eat cold water fatty fish at least a couple of times a week to reap the benefits.
The AHA and NIH also recommend people with heart disease symptoms (for example, high blood pressure) take daily fish oil supplements providing at least one gram of combined omega 3 DHA and EPA fatty acids.
Omega 3 fish oil has also been found to be the safest and most effective of the natural cures that help alleviate the pain from headaches as well as inflammatory arthritis when compared to over the counter NSAIDs such as Advil, Motrin, Nuprin and Aleve and other anti-inflammatories (Arthritis and Rheumatism, Vol. 38: 1107-14.)
Actually, after starting an omega 3 fish oil supplement treatment program many patients in research studies were able to greatly reduce and sometimes eliminate their pain medicines.
If you are concerned about fish oil toxicity you can rest assured. The Harvard University School of Public Health recently confirmed fish oil benefits far surpass any 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)
You don't need to look to hard to find high quality fish oil supplements that are safe and fully guaranteed to be 100% pure and toxic free. (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? - 17268
