It is an interesting subject and when I get the time I will do a detailed article about this.

For the moment, I have reproduced an article from Pharma in Focus, an Australian publication.

More 'fake' medical journals

International science publishing giant, Elsevier, has admitted to putting out nine publications in Australia designed to give the appearance of "primary research" journals when they were no such thing . But the company says that in all cases - other than The Australasian Journal of Bone and Joint Medicine revealed in the Vioxx trial - there was legitimate disclosure of pharmaceutical company sponsorship because of the type of advertising the publications contained.

You will recollect that earlier I did a post about this incredibly biased program that was run on TV recently.

HFNZ have prepared and submitted a formal complaint to the Broadcasting Authority.  Some of you may find it interesting reading.  You can access the info by clicking here.

By the way...Professor Jackson on behalf of a pharmaceutical company is trying to push the benefits of the 'polypill' which contains statins and various other medications.  It will be a disaster if that ever becomes a reality. 

Anyway, there is a large proportion of the population who will accept what they are told by the 'authorities' and as a result droves of people are heading off to the nearest vaccination station to queue up for there shots.

Now, if you are one of these people who propose having an H1N1 vaccine shot consider seriously if you really want some mercury injected into your blood stream!  Yes, the vaccine does contain thimersosal which is merury based.  Of course the authorities argue that it is safe...but, do your own assessment.  Mercury is a deadly poison.

It is interesting that in the US these vaccines are being given to infants 6 months and older.

Many New Zealanders were waiting with anticipation about what promised to be some startling ground breaking news.  During the run up to the program they had a Prof/Dr from Auckland University on TV stating emphatically in a very smug way that vitamins will kill you faster than second hand smoke.

To try and prove his point he dug out some studies which came to the conclusion that if you take excessive doses of Vitamin’s A, E and C that you may shorten your life.  What he didn’t explain that these were studies in which the synthetic form of these vitamins were used and used on their own (which is a no no) and used in excessive amounts.  Anything taken in excess will cause a problem…even water can kill you.  This is why we have never advocated mega doses of vitamins but instead use a synergistic mix of many nutrients.

Anyway, this Prof/Dr got eight volunteers who were supplement users, some of which had only been taking them for a short while and were willing to give them up for six weeks.  They did not reveal what the supplements were.

I thought that you might like to see a short photographic essay by Chris Hellyar our IT manager.  You will find his comments at the bottom of each photo as you move through them.

We will do another one after they have been commissioned and the new walls and ventilation has been installed.

They also confirm that the most important part of the Omega 3 fatty acids is the DHA component which is what we have been suggesting for many years now.  It is for this reason that people should  understand the ‘normal’ 18/12 fish oil is just not potent enough…and of course the non fish based Omega 3 fatty acids are even less effective as they do not contain any EPA let alone the much more complex DHA.

They found in the study that the Omega 3 helped the eyes by acting as an anti-inflammatory.  No surprise there either.  We have always maintained that it is the anti-inflammatory properties of Omega 3 fish oil that provides the benefits…not only for eyes but for the heart and general health.

I can say in all honesty if you want the best possible Omega 3 DHA fish oil not only for your eyes but also for your general health that you will get the best results from our Xtend-Life product.  It has some unique features that are not present in any other fish oil, particuarly with regard to its anti-inflammatory properties.  If you go to our web page and download the Buyers Guide to Omega 3 which you will find by clicking products and then Omega 3 DHA fish oil then you will understand what I am talking about.

For more details on the story about the study by the US National Eye Institute please click here.

Our day and night cream and eye gel will help this this better than the expensive brand names...but, give it a couple of months to start seeing the benefits.

More importantly you need to deal with the underlying cause of the problem.  A number of factors can contribute to a break down in elastin and collagen such as free radicals, glycation and inflammation.

If I were you this is what I would do.

If you have looked at our 'Buyers Guide' on the website for Omega 3 fish oil you will be aware that our unique Omega 3 blend has up to two and a half times better anti-inflammatory properties than normal fish oil.  It even has double the anti-inflammatory properties for an almost pure Omega 3 supplement such as a prescription drug Omega 3 fish oil.

If you are taking Omega 3 fish oil or thinking of doing so it would be well worth reading this article.

Probing Health Benefits From Eating Omega 3s
By JEANNE WHALEN   Wall Street Journal, September 14, 2009

Many a carton of milk or yogurt now brags of its fortification with omega 3s, a trend that has made the dietary additive seem like just the latest marketing gimmick for health-minded consumers.

But omega 3s, a family of unsaturated fatty acids, have been shown to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. And now, the compounds are being studied by scientists around the world as potential treatments for a wide range of other serious conditions, ranging from Alzheimer's disease to epilepsy and rheumatoid arthritis.
