Essential fatty acids reduced carbohydrate cravings


In 2005 Dr. Stephen Cavallino persuaded ten of his 'carbohydrate addict', overweight patients (eight females, two males) to:
„     put themselves onto a higher-protein, lower carbohydrate diet for eight-weeks
„     add a 'triply essential' fatty acid omega-6:omega-3 ~2:1 daily dietary supplement for the second four-weeks of the trial (2,900 milligrams daily, as provided by LINKYES Ultimate EFAs)
„     assess themselves before starting the higher-protein, lower carbohydrate diet, then keep a daily log of their experience, particularly with regard to:

    „     appetite    „     carbohydrate craving

    „     weight reduction

    „     general energy

    „     general alertness

Analysis of the logs justified the following conclusions:
„     Adopting a higher-protein, lower carbohydrate diet did not appear to reduce the patients' carbohydrate cravings
„     Adopting a higher-protein, lower carbohydrate diet only reduced the sensation of constant hunger in eight of the ten patients
When the 'triply essential' fatty acid omega-6:omega-3 ~2:1 daily dietary supplement was added to the higher-protein, lower carbohydrate diet:
„     All ten patients felt well and more at ease when eating the higher-protein, lower carbohydrate diet
„     All ten patients reported reduced appetite: five of the patients considered this 'good to excellent'; five of the patients considered this 'excellent'
„     All ten patients reported reduced carbohydrate cravings: nine patients considered this 'excellent'; one patient considered this 'good to excellent'
„     All ten patients reported increased energy and alertness, which all ten considered 'excellent'
„     All ten patients lost weight during the eight-week trial
SAS 9.1 software concluded that adding the 'essential' fatty acid omega-6:omega-3 ~2:1 daily dietary supplement had increased the effectiveness of the higher-protein, lower carbohydrate diet by just over a quarter (27.5%).

Fracking radioactive!

Locked up in rock shale for millions of years are large amounts of natural uranium and its decay products. These decay products are sometimes called 'daughters', 'granddaughters' or 'progeny' , e.g.  radium-226, radon-222, bismuth 214, lead-210 and polonium-210.  Locked deep under the ground these are safe enough. Brought up to the surface in leakage from the fractured shale and in wastewater, they can contaminate both the fracking site and the wider environment, where they can become a serious health problem. Radium-226 Wastewater dissolves radium-226 and brings it to the surface where it (i)accumulates as scale on the surface of pipes and tanks on the fracking site, (ii) is left on the ground near the bore heads and distribution facilities and (iii) can contaminate the local environment (particularly the water sources).  Radon-222 gas The degree of danger represented by radon-222 gas brought to the surface in the gas and wastewater depen...

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...
