Major Difference is Absorption

When most people, physicians included, look at krill they are convinced, like I was when I initially reviewed it, that it’s a costly alternative to fish oil.  However what we have learned since then actually makes krill the value champion.  This is related to simple biochemistry. You see fish oil has its DHA and EPA attached as a triglyceride. It is impossible for your body to absorb it in that form so it must be digested in you gut to free floating fatting acids of DHA and EPA.

This is not a very efficient process and only about 15 percent of it actually makes it into your blood stream. The rest is digested in your gut and contributes to the reason why 50 percent of people can’t tolerate fish oil supplements due to burp back effect.  But once you absorb it, your body still can’t use it. It must attach a phospholipid to the DHA and EPA by way of your liver. Once it is in this form your body can finally use it. This wastes even more of the DHA and EPA.

With krill oil NONE of this is required because it is already in the form your body needs. This difference gives krill about a 10-15X increase over fish oil fat.  So if you take 100 mg of krill DHA and EPA, you are getting the equivalent of about 1000-1500 mg of DHA and EPA that you would from fish.

Q: My wife recently was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Do you have any information to help this condition?

Dr. Wright: There are several natural approaches for treating fibromyalgia that you and your wife may want to discuss with her doctor. First is a nutrient IV therapy pioneered by Dr. John Myers in the late 1960s.

While it’s usually called the Myers Cocktail, the more official term for this therapy is IVFM, and it is a high-dose combination of B-complex vitamins, vitamin C, magnesium, and calcium. My colleague Dr. Alan Gaby has made some modifications to the original formula, including boosting the doses of magnesium and vitamin C. Read the rest of this entry »

Vitamin K may be “the next vitamin D” if research continues to illuminate the growing number of benefits to your health.  Dr. Cees Vermeer, one of the world’s top researchers in the field of vitamin K, founded a vitamin K research group in 1975, which is now the largest group investigating this area of nutrition science.

How many people have adequate vitamin K… care to guess?  Just about zero, according to Dr. Vermeer and other experts in the field.  Most people get just enough K from their diets to maintain adequate blood clotting, but NOT enough to offer protection against he following health problems-and the list is growing: Read the rest of this entry »

Cure almost any burn.  No scarring.   No skin grafting.

As this issue is concerned with preventing skin cancer, tanning better, and lasting longer in the sun before we need to apply sunscreen or take cover, I’ve included this letter, received by Nutrition & Healing in 1999, about treatment of a severe electrical burn. What’s that have to do with spending the summer in the sun? This treatment actually works for nearly any burn, including sunburn, scalding hot water, cooking burns, chemical burns, burns from campfires and other fires…in fact, any burn except for a “full thickness burn” requiring hospitalization and skin grafting. Even now, over ten years later, I’ve still never seen anything achieve results in healing burns like this natural, beeswax- and bee-product-based ointment called Whole Skin Ointment. Here’s the letter: Read the rest of this entry »

Given up on a tan?  Do you sunburn easily?  Turn pink after minutes in the sunshine?  Or do you have trouble getting a tan at all when you’re out in the sun? Sunshine is good for us, and not just for vitamin D.  But what can you do, besides use a sunblock or just cover up, to prevent sunburn? If you want a tan, are suntan oils your only option?

You can certainly defend your skin against quick burning by adjusting your diet but you may not know that you can actually take advantage of your own body’s natural “tanning chemistry” to further prolong the length of time before you start to turn pink. And if you’re someone who’s used to staying pale through August, you can at the very least get a little more tan than you’ve been able to in the past. Read the rest of this entry »

People are still surprised to learn diet sodas don’t give you what they promise. You may drink them because they have no calories. But diet sodas don’t help you drop weight. They make you fat instead. And you can get hooked on them.

In an article in JAMA, it mentioned just how addicting those diet soft drinks are. When you drink them, changes take place in your brain that make you behave differently.1  Your self-control goes out the window. Your body actually becomes addicted to the unnatural sweetness like it’s a drug. Read the rest of this entry »

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke…totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.

Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke. Read the rest of this entry »
