Kay - the focus should be on obtaining the best source of abundant Omega 3's in relationship to the ratio of Omega 6 in the same product. More 3's are desirable. Sesame oil used for taste is probably fine but as I recall, it is prodominantly Omega 6. For therapeutic benefits, you probably wouldn't want to use large amounts of sesame. Olive oil remains the oil most touted as bby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM

Thanks Liz - Obviously, we agree to disagree. I also have an organic garden which sustains me through the summer and a bit into the winter but if I choose to buy an orange which I can't grow in Ohio, then I must consider the options when I shop: Buy organic or something that might be GM. As long as there are options, I'm fine with that. The people who are forced to consume GM fooby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
We should keep in mind that current medical opinions are going to downplay the use of anything other than very routine testing to hold down healthcare costs and it may be up to us to pay out of pocket for some of the ‘less standard’ but highly useful and important tests such as the HS-CRP. There is no reason to think that just because one study questions measuring CRP, that elevated cardiac CRby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Thanks Erling for adding to my brief explanation. We all can benefit daily from alkalizing practices and the quickest, easiest, least expensive way is with the WW.

Probably most of the people reading this forum via the Internet are not suffering from starvation or living in an impoverished state.

Andrea - you certainly can lower your HS CRP with natural products rather than statins. Statins won't do you any favors in the long-haul although they do reduce inflammation. Any idea on the source of your inflammation?

Debbie - as we always say, knowledge is power and knowledge also is health. If you make informed decisions then certainly you stand to do the right thing for your body.

Nick - this is certainly interesting. Everything I've ever read or heard in interviews on this topic indicates that it's not fat that gives up the minerals, but rather, bone. In order to protect the kidneys from being 'fried' by acid and in order to process acid through the renal system, the body will pull the buffering minerals from bone stores. This is the principle behind osteoporosis aby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
A few people, taking vitamin D3 supplements may have an effect on serum calcium levels which is why when dosing at higher levels to reach the the optimal (protective) ranges, it's a good idea to be tested every few months to make sure there isn't a parathyroid dysfunction. In most individuals, there is no problem with taking vitamin D. Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM

Nick - when we were first introducing the WW, PC was doctoring his WW with lemon juice to adjust the pH. I pointed out at the time that lemon juice metabolizes to alkaline ash.

Paul - Extra virgin olive oil - cold pressed - is a very healthy oil. Other vegetable oils are processed and are damaging and they are also high in Omega 6's which you don't need.
