Omega-3 fish oil urged for heart patients

In May, 2007, BBC news reported the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) believes this is an effective way to cut the risk of further heart attacks. This ‘news’ has been common knowledge for some years in enlightened health circles and the market place is full of fish oil in various forms to tempt the public

What is interesting, though, is a comment in this 2007 article stating ‘research has found that one specific omega-3 supplement, ‘name’, cut the risk of sudden death by up to 45%. (Ed’s emphasis)

It went on to say that ‘name’ is currently the ‘only omega-3 supplement with a licence for post-heart attack treatment’. This may be so, but what it is also saying, is that a natural food, which is not patentable, has found its way into main stream medicine, and in order for it to be able to remain there, it has to be given a licence! Now how absurd is that?

And further, pharmaceutical grade omega-3 from fish oil, which has had heavy metals removed from it, will do your heart good, no matter what it is called. A licence is something added on later which will have no effect on your body at all

Pineapples fed high-dose cadmium poisoned fertiliser from China

First it was poisoned chicken feed and contaminated dog food from China, now its fertilizer stacked with high doses of cadmium. When are complacent customers going to check their food sources, be they struggling farmers looking for a cheap way out, or Regular Joe’s and Jane’s scanning supermarket shelves?

Better still, when are more people going to wake up to the dangers of cheap chemical fertilisers enough to rush helter skelter into organic food production before we all have to grow our own food in case store bought stuff kills us on the spot?

Scientists keep telling us commercial fertilisers are made up of chemicals and ‘chemicals are not dangerous, plants can’t survive without them’. Well, sure enough, but it’s the extra bits in the containers we should be worried about – in the end, our immune systems have to fight off the accumulated and unwanted high levels of chemicals which our bodies cannot assimilate and cannot get rid of either

Who wants to end up with bodies rich as a Swiss Bank in chemicals packed away in dark corners of our tissues like some nebulous demon, waiting to pounce as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis or more?
