Cure Severe Flu with Omega-3 acids

Written by: Chris Sumbs - UndergroundHealth.com

Cure severe flu naturally using omega-3

People are discovering the health benefits from omega-3 fatty acids. Many natural doctors, Eastern medicine practitioners, and those in touch with nature know its value for supporting cardiovascular health, reducing inflammation, and enhancing cognitive brain function. Now, there is recently discovered benefit, it helps fight severe influenza. Omega-3 is a polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA). The human body doesn’t generate it naturally. It’s an essential oil, meaning it needs to be supplied from outside sources.

It can be derived from two sources, plants and animals. Plant sources include avocados and nuts. Essential Omega-3’s, like those in NR Essentials DHA, are found in most natural supplements are flax seeds or oils, chia seeds, and hemp seeds. In the oil form, it needs to be refrigerated. Flax seed needs to be ground into powder for easy absorption. Chia seeds don't need to be ground or refrigerated. Hemp seeds need to be refrigerated but not ground. Animal sources of Omega-3 are readily found in eggs or meat. Perhaps the best source is fatty fish and fish and krill oils. Fish oil supplements, usually from cod or krill, are available in health food stores in the refrigerated section, and they must also remain refrigerated at home or they'll go rancid.



Can Omega-3 effectively rid the body of flu infection? A Japanese study was recently completed. It was entitled "The Lipid Mediator Protectin D1 Inhibits Influenza Virus Replication and Improves Severe Influenza." The study concluded that protectin D1, the lipid mediator, has both a preventative and curative potential for even H5N1(the "bird flu") which has been more lethal than any other influenza. Japanese researches infected mice with different strains of influenza viruses. Those fed the protectin D1 from Omega-3 fatty acid sources survived as well as those who were given Peramivir, a powerful intravenous drug given emergency approval for specific grave influenza conditions in South Korea and Japan. Half the mice died with taking only one or the other remedy. But all of the heavily infected mice given both Peramivir and protectin D1(Omega-3) survived. Further studies revealed the mechanics of how omega-3 fatty acid's protectin D1 shuts down viral replication at the cellular level. Protectin D1 is part of a natural substance, a polyunsaturated fatty acid or PUFA as omega-3 fatty acid. We know that with all this money on the line, it’s likely a pharmaceutical company will consign willing researchers to reverse engineer the protectin D1 from omega-3 to create a synthetic version of protectin D1 that can be patented. That way they can make it into a “synthetic drug” for commercial purposes. But for those of us in the alternative health community, we know exactly what this means. The research makes us aware that omega-3 fatty acids can effectively prevent and cure any flu.

Plant or Animal Omega-3, where to buy? EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are considered the healthiest Omega-3 acids. EPA and DHA are found readily in the animal omega-3 sources such as eggs, fish, and dark meat. Plant sources contain ALA, or alpha linoleic acid (not alpha lopeic acid). As noted, these types of plant Omega-3 need to be altered or prepared for consumption. So some experts recommend using fish oil supplements. Maybe it’s a good idea to put both into a daily regimen of healthy herbs? There are certain benefits from plant ALA omega-3 as well. The best overall Omega-3 I’ve found is NR Essentials DHA. Maintain your brain. You can do it with DHA, an essential fatty acid. Just order NR Essentials DHA. It comes in capsules that are smaller, easier to swallow, and unflavored.
