SUPER SIZE IT! BUFFET IT! Make it bigger, taller, pile it on! That’s our American eating mentality, and it shows in our waistlines. Obesity has become an epidemic in our country. So what we have is Heart Disease…the No.1 killer of Americans, Cancer…the No. 1 fear of Americans, and Alzheimer’s…the No. 1 concern of Americans. 

And what do these devastating diseases have in common? All three have been linked to silent inflammation, a condition that occurs when the body’s natural immune response goes awry. It usually begins as a defensive reaction to invading viruses and bacteria, but this inflammatory response can misfire, sparking a chain reaction of inflammation anywhere in the body.

Fueled by obesity, it may continue unchecked for years, assaulting the heart, arteries, and even the brain. As a matter of fact, research confirms that obesity is a primary cause of silent inflammation and has been linked to today’s epidemic rise in heart disease. That is from Dr. Barry Sears, who is a Lipid Scientist who studies fats, and has spent his career probing the delicate body chemistry that controls our health and well being. Dr. Sears has authored the No. 1 New York Times Bestseller “The Zone Diet” and “The Omega RX Zone: The Miracle of the New High-Dose Fish Oil.” He’s written some fifteen books.

As I continued the interview with Dr. Sears on my “POPPTALK” Radio Show, I tried to defend myself by telling the good Doc that I eat fish. So why do I need to take more fish oil? Dr Sears abruptly congratulated me on eating from the sewer of the sea! Whaaaat!???
  

He explained that it takes a new generation of fish oil to launch the fight against these diseases. So how is this generation of fish oil different from our old slippery friend? According to Dr. Sears, the fish oil Grandma got down our gullets, and that which is currently sold in health food stores has never been pure enough to use in the great quantities to feel its potential benefits. 

“High-dose pharmaceutical-grade fish oil will radically change how medicine is practiced in the future. Once it is accepted, we will enter a new era of medical care based primarily on the food we eat, not the drugs we take,” he told me emphatically!

So the bottom line here is Dr. Sears claims that pharmaceutical grade fish oil, when taken in appropriate therapeutic doses, has the power to reverse silent inflammation in just thirty days! In his view, it may be “A true miracle cure for the twenty-first Century!” Boy, what a wake-up call this was for me. A shrimp cocktail please? Why is it that good taste is not always good for us? Darn!

If you’d like information on how to find this industrial strength fish oil, the Doc told me he has several places listed in his book “The Omega RX Zone” or you can log on to www.DrSears.com. Can I have a shrimp cocktail please?
