Omega Three, Six And Nine

Someday soon it will stop raining here in Long Island. It stopped raining on the golf course long enough for them to finish the tournament, which some guy won, whose name I never heard before. Tiger couldn’t hit a putt to save his life, and Phil couldn’t hit them, when he needed to, on the last four holes.

My lawn is so green from all the water that it’s in danger of turning too lush, which means I’ll be paying double to keep it down to four inches, since it will need work every week.

I saw a product on the shelf today that tries to be everything to everybody, which means that it won’t benefit anybody. It combines omega-3′s, 6′s, and 9′s, and touts itself as a cure for whatever ails you.

There is a word for that, and it’s “crap.”

The reason is simple.

Most people are deficient in omega-3′s.

Most people consume way too much omega-6.

Your body makes omega-9 on its own, without any help.

We take omega-3′s because they cannot be produced by our own body, and we have to get them from somewhere else. Back many, many moons ago, say 500, for example, omega-3′s and omega-6′s were in balance. But the modern diet, with all the processed foods, has tipped that almost perfect balance to 20-1, or more, in favor of omega-6′s, which isn’t doing us any good, whatsoever.

In fact, many physicians and health advocates now believe that the imbalance created by the high consumption of omega-6′s is responsible for a myriad of diseases. Some of those would be:

Inflammation
Poor cardiovascular health
Allergies
Immune disorders
Hormone disorders
Behavioral Disorders

This doesn’t hold a candle to the diseases caused by a lack of omega-3′s, which are all serious and too numerous to list here.

So it follows that any health product that mixes omega-3′s, 6′s, and 9′s is not a good thing, and not really needed in the marketplace. Not to mention it’s a misnomer, because it isn’t the least bit healthy to add fats we don’t need, or that cause us harm.

What almost each and every one of us needs is omega-3′s, pure and simple. We just don’t get enough, with the way we eat today, and if you want to avoid sitting in the waiting room, where lines are going to get longer and longer, go ahead and let us do the work, sending you your supply every month, so that you don’t even have to think about it. My Powerhouse Omega Formula is just what you need to keep your body fine tuned.

Almost everyday there is a new story of success with fish oil in the newspaper, in a magazine, even in professional publications. The British might only be good at cricket and darts, but they are real trailblazers when it comes to working with fish oil, and other herbal remedies. The Canadians are doing pioneering in this field, too, going back thousands of years, to study ancient formulas.

And here in America, Merck is trying to patent Niacin, so they can raise the price of a naturally occurring substance…
