The evidence seems to be increasing at a faster pace regarding the purported benefits of high dose fish oil supplementation. There have have been many studies done previously, and many studies being conducted now, which appear to support the claims that large doses of fish oil may be very good for your overall health. The key is the long chain omega-3 fatty acids epa and dha, of course.

While some other foods such as eggs and flaxseed oil have some omega-3’s, it is widely agreed that the levels, as well as the availability to the body,
of these fatty acids in fish and fish oil suggest this to be the superior source of the vital nutrients. Of course doctors have known for quite some time about it’s benefits,
the previous versions (cod liver oil and health food grade fish oil) were considered by many to be unsafe due to their relatively high mercury and pcb levels.

While some researchers point out that individuals who injest sizeable amounts of marine oils, like the Japanese and certain Mediterrean cultures, for instance, tend to live longer,
there are numerous specific case studies to draw upon that draw a clearer picture.

For example, under well-controlled laboratory and dietary conditions fatty acid intake can have profound effects on animal models of autoimmune disease.

In addition, taking fish oil regularly might even help reduce several of the symptoms associated with the condition, according to BBC Health.
There have also been numerous specific cases reported in the media. One story reported that Governor Shwarzennager is a proponent of fish oil and always has some in his medicine cabinet. Another instance involves Randall McCloy Jr., the lone surviving miner from the Sago mine disaster, has returned home. When rescued from the Sago mine about 4 months ago, he had brain failure, heart failure, kidney failure as well as liver failure. His outlook obviously looked somewhat bleak.

He was then transferred to one of the thirty-odd brain trauma centers that are located
in the U.S. to be under the care of Dr. Julian Bailes.
Dr. Bailes then contacted Dr. Barry Sears, one of the top authorities regarding fish oil in the world.
Dr. Sears then suggested administering some thirty gms. each day of the fish oil concentrate he developed called OmegaRx.

Now the damage to his heart, kidneys, and liver has been reversed, and he is at home with his family. Dr. Bailes believes was substantially aided by the fish oil.

“I certainly think it played a big role,” Bailes said. “How can he rebuild his brain, if he doesn’t have the substrate to do it?”

Now a days, there is a variety of essential oils, roots, and herbs available to support healthy living. These natural products can be used for treating ailments, flavoring your food, skin care, create perfumes, and manufacture environmentally safe cleaning products.

If you do not have room for a garden, a few herbs planted by a sunny window are enough to get you started. Subsequently, all you will need then are some essential oils and you are ready to embark on a wonderful journey to natural herbal remedies and medicine.

Essential oils versus blended oils.

The first to consider is the essential oils. Only the purest oils will do for therapeutic purposes. Do not be fooled into thinking that you are purchasing pure oil when in fact it is a blend of several oils. Blended oils are acceptable for fragrance such as perfuming a room, but pure oils are necessary for medicinal intent.

A general guide to the purity of oil is its price. Pure oils are normally more expensive. For instance, common oils such as lavender and geranium are less expensive than frankincense and carnation oil. Therefore, it is advisable to become familiar with essential oil prices and then rely on this knowledge when purchasing oils. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. In addition, a price list from a reputable dealer is a valuable resource when buying essentials oils.

Typically, pure oils cannot be applied directly to the skin and must be mixed with a base oil to lessen their strength. Base oils such as almond oil or wheat germ oil are generally used for this purpose. Base oils are generally derived from seeds, nuts, or vegetables.

Basic oils and natural remedies.

Lavender, without a doubt, is one of the most useful and desirable oils. It will work wonders on cuts, bruises and burns, and promotes sleep and relaxation.

The Tea Tree and Eucalyptus oils are useful for treating a variety of respiratory ailments. These are excellent medication for colds and coughs. These oils can be massaged into the chest or burned in an oil burner to help clear the airways and prevent congestion. Tea Tree oil is a natural antiseptic and can be dabbed on cuts, bites and stings. It is often used to treat spots and pimples and when diluted with water, acts as a mouth gargle (keep in-mind it should never be swallowed).

Geranium oil with its characteristic perfume and pain relieving properties is a basic antiseptic. This herbal remedy should be part of your essential oil and natural herbal remedies garden.

Peppermint oil treats digestive upsets and may be used for breath freshening.

Patchouli and Ylang-ylang oils in an oil burner can perfume a room and add a sense of ambience. Orange oil mixed with Cinnamon oil is a pleasant winter scent that brings to mind seasonal holiday smells. Besides their perfume qualities, all four of these oils have other properties. Patchouli treats eczema and dandruff. Ylang-ylang is reputed to relieve stress, palpitations, and high blood pressure. Orange is used in natural remedies for depression and nervous tension. Cinnamon is excellent for warts and viral infections.

Thyme and Rosemary are considered herbs and can be grown in pots and used when needed. Both of these herbs can be used to create oils or flavor food. Thyme and Rosemary are also antiseptics and can be used in skin care preparations.

Lemon oil and fresh lemons will purify water. When lemon is mixed with honey, it is an effective herbal remedies for colds and flu. Lemon and white vinegar are highly effective cleaning agents that can be used for domestic cleaning tasks without damaging the environment. White vinegar is a natural disinfectant or mix it with water to clean windows and wooden floors.

If you want to keep the insects away this summer, Citronella oil or Garlic will do. Add a capsule of garlic to your dog’s food and your dog will not be bothered by fleas. You could also soak a soft dog collar in Citronella to keep fleas and mosquitoes at bay.

Garlic helps to promote a healthy immune system. When the weather turns cold and the viruses begin to circulate, adding garlic to your diet will leave you less susceptible. In fact, most of the oils and herbs listed above are effective in helping to prevent many common winter illnesses.

If you are looking for natural herbal remedies or nature friendly products, the oils and herbal remedies recommended above should help you get started.

The more exposure you have to the mystery of life and death, the more clearly will your life become a reflection of that mystery. Perhaps this is the one thing healers know better than most. It is also one of the things they are least likely to talk about.

It is almost impossible to witness a person in pain and suffering without asking the question, “Why?” And the next logical question then becomes, “When? When will something like that be mine to bear?” Even though it may not be expressed in words, that question lives inside all of us, and its resonance is proportional to the volume of suffering we are exposed to.

Bad things do happen mindless, insensitive, yes, even evil things and when you’re in the position of seeing this again and again, it is easy to understand that such things are not a fluke, but a part of the human condition.

As hard as we try, we cannot escape the fact that we, too, are human, therefore have the potential to become a part of any of the worst that we see.

How does that happen? It’s not much different than what occurs when you place two guitars side by side. Pluck the third string of one of them and the corresponding string on the other will begin to vibrate without being touched. Essentially, continued exposure tunes us in to that vibration. Just like the guitars, we share common strings.

We certainly don’t have to become that vibration, yet, we recognize the tone and it lives inside us. And that’s where the crazymaking begins; to know it’s there at all is a fearsome thing.

It is not so much the recognition of the potential that puts us on edge; it is the denial and suppression of it. The many layers of protection we put on ourselves to foster the illusion that somehow, we are different than “them” eventually imprisons us. We are different, but the potential is still there.

As loathe as we are to admit it, this is actually something we have to come to terms with in ourselves if we are to be healers.

Those layers of protection are not a zippered jumpsuit we can put on and take off at will. Like being sewn into a uniform, the distance, coldness, sarcasm and lack of sensitivity we develop to insulate ourselves become evident in everything we do, every relationship we have.

The energy we expend to deny our “darker” capabilities comes back to haunt us. The harder we work to push away these aspects of ourselves, the more likely are we to draw situations to us that will test us in those very same ways.

We, as healers, are continually being asked to make the choice because we know there is one. The longer we avoid dealing with this aspect of our lives, the more strongly are we called back to face it.

For many of us, alcohol and substance abuse rank high in the things we do to both insulate ourselves, AND express our shadows. Abuse of our relationships is often a vehicle for an energy much akin to (if not actually) violence. The innumerable ways we shut ourselves down to avoid putting ourselves in the position of having to make any choices (other than at “work”) is as strong a symptom as any of the others.

Accepting our shadows does not require that we indulge in the behaviors. It doesn’t mean, surrounded by murderers, we will inevitably choose to murder.

The one thing we have going for us is the knowledge that we have a choice. We will always catch glimpses of darkness in our behaviors. At that point will come the choice to go there or not. Working with choice is far easier than denying that the impulse is there at all. It takes a lot of work to bury something.

The “art” is to be able to spot this dynamic the conflict with the shadow side of ourselves — while it is happening, and then work through it. Easier said than done, of course, but all it takes is practice and the inclusion of others.

The way to get better at this is to be willing to express honestly your experiences and feelings. The act of talking is an act of moving this energy. So are yelling, screaming, crying, and forms of physical expression that yes, can and should include controlled expression of rage that involves aggression. But don’t forget that art, music, writing, sculpture, sports, anything you think of can be used as a safety valve to let off some of the pressure.

The most important parts are that you and others establish a safe, supportive and conscious environment in which you can do the work together, and that you focus your intent on moving that shadow energy into something productive. It could even be fun!

Accepting that such things live inside you is a by-product of learning such thoughts and desires, like everything else, come and go. We cannot hold back that energy without paying a price, because it, too, is the stuff of life. We can, however, allow it to pass through us and, through practice, learn to direct it toward the positive.
