 Still other research indicates that omega-3 fish oils protect brain cells from toxins. Take omega-3 fish oil capsules or liquid to achieve approximately 2,000 mg of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) daily.
Selenium. Some evidence suggests that selenium may prevent meth-related brain damage. Take 200 to 400 meg daily.
Alcohol and drug addictions are difficult to treat. A multipronged approach, as described here, may enhance and reinforce recovery. |

 Individuals in inflammatory states, such as arthritis, can have their inflammation signals, including TNFa, reduced by as much as 90 percent by fish oils.340 By helping to reduce these pro-inflammatory signals, the stranglehold leptin resistance has on a person can be changed so that willpower can start to take charge.
Fish oils are also proven to reduce insulin resistance.341 Fish oil has a direct bearing on enhancing glucose utilization,342 including the ability of muscles to use and store glucose.343 In order to get rid of leptin resistance, glucose metabolism must work properly. |

Supplements: Take 4-8 g of fish oils a day for their anti-inflammatory components. Magnesium has been shown to relax the bronchial tubes and improve lung function. Take 250 mg three times a day, but reduce it if the stools become loose. Take 1,000 mg of Vitamin C two to four times a day for its anti-allergen benefits, but again cut back if stools loosen. Vitamin B12 reduces asthma symptoms in some people and can be taken at 1,500 meg orally or 400 meg sub-lingually (under the tongue). |
| Take 3 g of fish oils a day to relieve inflammation associated with allergic rhinitis and allergies in general. Probiotics have been shown to be beneficial for allergies. Take a product that contains four billion organisms of Lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidus. Protease enzymes assist in decreasing inflammation; take 2 capsules twice a day on an empty stomach. Digestive enzymes along with Betaine hydrochloride assist in the digestion of food and reduce the chances of food sensitivities. Take 1-2 of each with each meal.
Herbs: Take 300-500 mg of freeze-dried stinging nettles. |

 It's beef, stupid
It's no exaggeration to say that people who eat lots of beef, but who fail to eat the DHA-rich parts of the animal or supplement with other sources of DHA (such as fish oils) display lower intelligence than people who follow plant-based diets with DHA supplementation. It doesn't mean that eating beef makes you stupid. Rather, it means that the dumber a person is, the more beef they're likely to eat and the less likely they are to seek out and consume healthy oils like DHA. |

| Omega-3 fish oils. These contain eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Several studies have found that low intakes of these essential dietary fats are related to violence and murder. Not surprisingly, these nutrients have been found particularly useful in reducing aggressive and hostile behavior, including aggressive driving, bullying, verbal abusiveness, and fighting. The omega-3s are incorporated into cell membranes (walls), where they help brain cells to communicate with one another. |

 In addition to kava, these include passionflower, ashwaganda (an Ayurvedic herb), fish oils, St. John's wort, valerian, hops, and scullcap.
Certain homeopathic remedies are successful in treating anxiety. There's been a lot of work on homeopathy in children reported in the French scientific literature. One study involved "high anxiety" children needing instant gratification, who were easy to overreact, with stomachaches from the anxiety and the fears. They were given nux vomica and it worked. |
| John's wort with any other medication, except fish oils, which should be safe.
"St. John's wort comes in a number of different forms, mostly tablets and liquid extracts. The liquid is the least processed form. There are probably more than a dozen active ingredients in St. John's wort and they all contribute to its effect. Sustained released tablets have come out, naturally, they're more expensive, but it's really just a marketing gimmick. There is no need for sustained released form because St. John's wort has a long enough half-life in your body. Virtually everyone I've prescribed St. |

 The purpose of this review is to provide some additional "Pollyannas" in the form of polyphenols contained in berries, Concord grape juice, curcumin, and other natural products such as tea catechins, and the polyunsaturated fatty acids contained in such commodities as fish oils and nuts that may act as harbingers of good news for healthy aging. Note, however, that since there have already been multiple reviews of vitamins E and C (e.g., [1, 2]) and such supplements as ginkgo biloba (e.g., [3]), these topics will not be covered here. |

| The two types are called omega-3 and omega-6. fish oils are a source of omega-3 and evening primrose oil is a source of omega-6. Generally, 3,000 mg of omega-3 and 2,000 mg of omega-6 should be divided into three doses, daily.
L-arginine facilitates the body's production of nitric oxide, which has an antiangina and antistress effect upon the arteries, enabling the muscles in the arterial walls to relax. This amino acid is generally taken at 2,000 to 3,000 mg per day.
Lecithin can reduce arterial plaque, lower blood pressure, and lessen angina pectoris. |

| Other concerns about consumption of fish or fish oils include consumption of too much mercury and vitamin A. Land animals that are exposed to sunlight or have vitamin D in their feed may be a source of vitamin D, but the amount of vitamin D provided as meat is not well documented except for liver. Eggs are a natural source of vitamin D that can be increased when vitamin D is added to chicken feed, but the level is not usually significant. However, eggs processed to remove cholesterol and saturated fat in the United States have a restored vitamin D content of approximately 6% of the Daily Value. |

| With regard to specific types of fat, fish oils containing high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, such as EPA and DHA, generally suppressed prostate tumor growth in rodents, whereas omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as linoleic acid, promoted tumor growth [130, 143, 144]. However, because most animal studies have been conducted in rodents, whose prostate glands differ anatomically from that of the human, extrapolation of these findings to humans is particularly tenuous.
A number of plausible mechanisms by which dietary fat could increase cancer risk have been proposed. |

| Omega-3 fish oils can elevate your mood. Besides their use for depression, studies have shown that fish oil is helpful for bipolar disorder, as well. To ensure that you get enough of the essential omega-3s, eat fish (salmon, sardines, tuna, mackerel, cod) two to three times a week. For more information on the use of omega-3 fatty acids in depression, read The Omega-3 Connection: The Groundbreaking Antidepression Diet and Brain Program by Andrew Stoll, M.D. (Free Press, 2002),

| Take vitamin E along with the fish oils to protect yourself from any peroxidized oils in the capsules."
Both alcoholics and chronic dieters often have depressive tendencies. Alcoholics often suffer from symptoms of low mood. Although alcohol may appear at first as a stimulant and mood enhancer, it is in fact a depressant and substantially decreases the ability of the body to extract nutrients from the food we eat. Dieters tend to eat very few B-complex-containing foods, and they often suffer from depression as well.

 Nuts and seeds, olive oil, and fish oils are examples of fats that you should eat regularly.
Figure 5.3. Pure fats and oils = tip of thumb portion. High-fat foods such as cheese, chocolate, nuts, and seeds = whole thumb portion.
Nonstarchy vegetables, including salads and cooked vegetables (steamed, grilled, baked, stir-fried, or added to various cooked dishes) should be eaten in abundance. An appropriate portion would be the amount you can hold in both hands; however, more can be eaten if desired or needed to control appetite. |
| Olive oil, avocado, nuts and seeds, fatty fish, fish oils, and coconut oil are just a few examples of fats that should be consumed regularly for health and satiety. The key to gaining the benefits of these healthy fats is real moderation. All fats contain about 9 calories per gram so none of them should be used liberally. Books promoting fats for weight loss suggest that you can eat any quantity of certain kinds of oils and still lose weight. That's pure foolishness. Striking a balance between the low-fat craze and overzeal-ous use of healthy oils is the key to finding their true benefits. |

 Ultimately, it may be better to obtain your fish oils from real fish because you will also ingest vitamins and minerals that can help you metabolize the oil into its potentially neuroprotective components. However, one should be wary of high levels of mercury and other toxins found in some fish populations.

 You can supplement omega-3 fats with fish oils, but fish liver oils also contain significant amounts of vitamin A. Although vitamin A is important, in industrialized societies where people typically have access to good foods, vitamin A is not a limiting nutrient in diets. In addition, your daily multiple vitamin probably contains 100 percent of the DRI of vitamin A, so you want to avoid duplication and possible toxicity.
Fish oil supplements have only about 30 percent omega-3 by weight. This means that a 1,000-milligram gelcap of fish oil has only about 300 milligrams of omega-3 fat. |

| Eicosapentanoic acid (EPA) and docosahexanoic acid (DHA) are the animal omega-3 fats in fish and fish oils and organ meat.
DHA is your brain's dominant fatty acid; it makes up about 40 percent of the fat in your brain. In research studies, higher levels of DHA and EPA have been associated with a lower incidence of high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, depression, attention deficit disorder, and dementia. Omega-3 fats also improve insulin sensitivity.
More importantly, polyunsaturated fats bind to a variety of nuclear receptors and behave like hormones (Cortisol, estrogen, vitamin D). |
