Listen to John describe how he lowered his Cholesterol, to his Doctor’s delight, while reducing his intake of Statins.
I can also personally attest to having reduced my cholesterol by 30 pts with Mila and having never taken the statin drugs as originally recommended by my physician.
Omega-3 fatty acids are the building blocks of your brain and an important element of heart health, and evidence continues to pile up showing that using supplements may be a good idea.
Omega-3s have been making news in the military recently thanks to a study by military and public health doctors that found low levels of omega-3s, especially DHA, to be” a significant risk factor for suicide deaths” among active-duty troops.
Other studies have shown that omega-3s can help improve your outlook overall, activating and building areas of the brain that regulate mood, and that they may help reduce symptoms of depression and even alcohol cravings.
Just this year, the Indiana University School of Medicine published the results of a study that showed dramatic improvements in mice with the equivalent of bipolar disorder and its associated alcohol cravings. Alcohol-preferring “P” rats also drank “significantly less” when fed a diet high in DHA.
Our bodies don’t make omega-3s, so the only way to get them is through food and nutritional supplements.
And if you think you’re getting enough brain- and heart-healthy omega-3s by eating a vending machine tuna sandwich or a fried fish patty on a bun, you’re mistaken.

Nearly a third of all adults have high blood pressure and another third have high cholesterol, but most aren’t being treated, leaving them at risk for developing heart attacks, strokes and related vascular diseases, according to new data out from the CDC.
Half of American adults with high blood pressure and two thirds of those with high cholesterol aren’t getting adequate treatment, the agency reports.
And it’s not lack of health insurance keeping people from the doctor. Some 80 percent of people with uncontrolled hypertension or high cholesterol have some form of coverage, the CDC reports.
So what’s the problem? Well, while patients may have insurance, they may not have regular access to medical care, or the counseling and support needed to care for these chronic conditions. Others don’t go to the doctor for follow-up visits and about half just stop taking their medicine all together.
Heart attack, stroke and other vascular diseases kill more 800,000 Americans a year and cost the nation about $300 billion a year in medical costs. Thing is, medications can control high blood pressure and high cholesterol before they become serious, the CDC urges.
BORDEAUX, France, Jan. 31 (UPI) — Reduced levels of Omega-3 in mice had deleterious consequences on synaptic functions and emotional behaviors, French researchers say.
Researchers at the Institut national de la sante et de la recherche medicale and the French National Institure for Agriculatural Research say the human dietary ratio between omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid and Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid Omega-3 increased continuously over the course of the 20th century.
Olivier Manzoni, head of research at INSERM in Bordeaux and the Institut de Neurobiologie de la Mediterranee in Marseille, and Sophie Laye, head of research at INRA in Bordeaux, and co-workers studied mice fed a lifelong diet imbalanced in Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
The study, published in the journal Nature neuroscience, finds Omega-3 deficiency disturbed neuronal communication and the neuronal dysfunction was accompanied by depressive behaviors among the malnourished mice.
