YES Ultimate cold-pressed, raw, organically-grown, pristine, vibrant omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids


Before the boom in processed foods most people ate sufficient pristine, vibrant, polyunsaturated essential fatty acids (linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid) to meet most of the body's needs. This is no longer so, and our health is almost certainly suffering. It is important to restore good levels of the two essential fatty acids into our daily diet.
The body uses various mixes of linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid for many purposes. They are, for instance, the body's fats of choice for the maintenance of the membranes of (i) the body's ~37 trillion cells, and (ii) the (sometimes thousands of) energy-producing organelles called mitochondria inside every cell. A key function of the cell membrane is cell oxygenation, which it does by facilitating the diffusion of oxygen from the bloodstream into the interior of the cell. A key function of the mitochondrial membrane is mitochondrial oxygenation, which it does by facilitating the diffusion of oxygen from the overall interior of the cell into the interior of the mitochondrion, where it is needed to fuel the mitochondrion's production of the energy (largely adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in a healthy cell) needed for the cell's many functions.
If, and only if, the body cannot find sufficient vibrant linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid will it it use other, less effective fats ...
  • firstly, less pristine, less vibrant linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid
  • then, derivative fatty acids
  • then, the toxic synthetic trans fatty acids (transfats) and homogenised fats
... to make the cell and mitochondrial membranes. These inferior fats will also oxygenate the cells and mitochondria, but less efficiently than pristine, vibrant essential fatty acids (linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid).
The good news ...
The good news is that, as we diligently return our body to an abundance of linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid (by consuming lots of raw nuts, seeds, oils or, perhaps, a dietary supplement containing raw, cold-pressed oils of these nuts and seeds) the body:
  • returns to its two beloved, more-effective, essential fatty acids for membrane maintenance - linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid
  • stops using the less-effective fats - the damaged EFAs, the 'derivative' fatty acids, the trans fatty acids and the hydrogenised fats
Membranes are repaired with the most oxygenating materials.

OsteoTrace

OsteoTrace is one of my favourite dietary supplements. I take two tablets a day (with food) to help stop my osteoporosis getting worse, and with the aim of preventing arthritis developing. Most people take it for their arthritis and arthritis pain. OsteoTrace is the mix of minerals and vitamins developed by Dr. Rex Newnham to treat (successfully) his own worsening arthritis. Principal amongst the minerals is boron, following Rex's observation that the lower the levels of boron in the soil and water of an area, the higher the levels of arthritis in the people living in that area. Each tablet of OsteoTrace contains three milligrams of boron (in the form sodium tetraborate), so three tablets a day taken with food (the therapeutic dosage recommended by Rex) keeps you at the Optimum Daily Allowance (ODA) of nine milligrams and well below the Safe Upper Limit/Tolerable Upper Intake Level (SUL/TUIL) of 20 milligrams a day. The other fifteen nutrients in OsteoTrace were chosen specific...

Stroke or migraine?

Firstly, apologies for having been away for so long - the article below explains most of what happened and may, I hope, be of help to some. Secondly, an introduction. I am Nick Anderson, caretaker of this page, editor of Green Health Watch Magazine and, since very recently, founder of The OsteoTrace Shop webshop.  Over Christmas 2016 I had a ‘biological event’ which was diagnosed as a ‘transient ischaemic attack’ (TIA, aka ‘mini-stroke’). A TIA is defined as ‘a short-term disruption of the blood supply to part of the brain’. It can last from a few minutes to 24 hours (after which it is re-diagnosed as a (full-blown) stroke). This disruption of the blood supply to the brain is usually caused by an abnormal blood clot that has formed elsewhere in the body and travelled to and blocked a blood vessel supplying the brain. Abnormal clots can also be formed from pieces of fatty material or air bubbles.  The disruption in the blood supply results in a lack of oxygen (amon...

Mouth should have very slightly alkaline/neutral pH

There are several ways to promote a very slightly alkaline/neutral pH (potential of Hydrogen) in the mouth, e.g. : by brushing your teeth with a very slightly alkaline/neutral pH toothpaste (like Weleda Salt Toothpaste or Green People Fennel & Propolis Toothpaste) about an hour after every meal, snack and drink (other than pure water) to remove: any food or drink residues any tartar or dental plaque that may be forming (see Edi below)                  (https://www.weleda.co.uk/salt-toothpaste-75ml-101004)                  (https://www.greenpeople.co.uk/products/fennel-propolis-toothpaste-50ml)   Eating or drinking anything acidic softens both dental enamel and dentine, making them more vulnerable to erosion by brushing, so brushing sooner is unwise. Please note that ‘acidic foods’ and ‘alkaline foods’ ...
