This article is very informative and at the same time can confuse because of

some aspects of the studies. However the overall thought is clear, Fish Oils

can be beneficial and it is also evident they are not speaking about 'massive

amounts'.

One might imagine that the quality of the Fish Oil product used is important and

in I would try my best, difficult as it might be, to seek out a quality product.

For people on a drug plan they might consider a Prescription product that has

the quality control that should give us a more standardized amount of the

necessary elements.

Hi Joe,

The amounts of long chain PUFAs (EPA and DHA ) necessary for preventing

cancer in healthy individuals are likely a lot lower than what's

required to halt and regress tumor growth and metastatic spread.

DH in the Pardini case study ( http://tinyurl.com/n3w2on ) was very

lucky to have his progress monitored as he was able to recognize that

while he had managed to shrink most of his lung tumors, one was still

growing slowly. An increase in EPA and DHA supplementation resulted in

all tumors shrinking resulting - essentially a cure.

Most cancer patients aren't lucky enough to be living next door to a

researcher like Pardini and most are likely not lucky enough to have an

oncologist that is willing to closely monitor this type of treatment in

order to accurately assess its effectiveness (faclitating making

evidence based adjustments along the way).

Kind regards,

Nick

Mike:

I think the question here is not the word 'increase' but perhaps people

arbitrarily taking 'massive' amounts and I'm not even sure what 'massive' might

be. It is a gray area.

In fact one of the points brought out was the question about too much EPA alone

as being somewhat deleterious as it comes to their killing off cancer fighting

cells but even with that there may be error.

We're all in agreement as to benefits and even with a 'study' as brought out,

much more is needed because we have been down the 'cure' road before only to

learn we were wrong. Again, " increase " vs " massive " or " large " as regards

amounts of Fish Oils.............just a bit too open ended. However it needs to

be explored more for sure. That is why this list exists.
