Healing Cancer with Omega Oil - Excerpt by Jade Butler - R.R.T, R.C.P.
A lot of nutrition conscious veterinarians are beginning to recommend to
their clients that they supplement their animals’ diet with a daily dose
of Omega 3 Oils, poured over the food. The vets are finding remarkable
results in clearing up skin conditions, relieving arthritic and
inflammatory pain, as well as improved over all pet health.
Mr. Paul Stitt, while addressing a scientific conference in North Dakota
reported that the Omega's increased bone strength as well as improved
the silkiness and sheen of animals’ fur. When the diets of horses were
fortified with Omega's, within three weeks their coats developed a
beautiful sheen and dandruff was greatly diminished. Within 9 months
cracked hooves were completely healed. When a pregnant mare was fed the
Omega's her offspring were larger and grew faster than when previous to
being fed the supplement.
Further research indicates that horses fed 3 Omega supplementation and
injected with the deadly organism Escherichia coli were better
protected than those not supplemented, suggesting enhanced immunity in
these animals. Selected Alaskan sled dog mushers are fortifying their
dogs diet with Omega Oils as they feel it serves as a source of valuable
energy, keeps less desirable saturated fats mobile in the blood stream,
increases oxygen uptakes to the cell, decreases recovery time from
strenuous exercise and prevents and heals worn and chaffed paws.
Numerous studies conducted on animals and humans show that the Omega
cluster has powerful anti-tumour properties and may reduce tumour size
by 50%.

Due to their influence on inflammatory processes such as arthritis,
dietary supplementation with omega fatty acids-such as found in hemp
seed oil, has generated considerable interest in the medical and
scientific communities regarding veterinary health. Enhanced 3 Omega
intake has been associated with a reduction in the incidence and
severity of coronary artery disease, hypertension, hyper-lipidemia, as
well as immune mediated joint, renal, gastrointestinal, respiratory and
skin disease. In addition to their role in disease prevention and
treatment, this class of fatty acids has also been implicated as an aid
to athletic performance.

Relief in Canines
Approximately 25-30% of family pets suffer from arthritis. Broadly
described by most vets as DJD (degenerative joint disease), arthritis in
pets is just as painful and debilitating as it is in humans. Part of the
pain problems associated with osteoarthritis results from inflammation.
An interesting observation was made in some clinical studies in the mid
1990's and is noted in Dr. Atkins "Diet Revolution". (Avon Books) The
doctor suggests that a principal ingredient in the fight against
arthritis should be Omega 3 Essential Fatty Acids. And why is that?
Because this essential acid clearly demonstrates that omega 3 relieves
both arthritis pain and inflammation.
What may be the most interesting fact about Dr. Atkins recommendation is
that clinical studies have confirmed that the use of Omega 3 standing
alone dramatically reduced the pain suffered by those with rheumatoid
arthritis allowing them to lessen their dependence on other drugs.
This leads full circle back to some of the other methods of successfully
beating arthritis pain. Diet in general also plays a significant role in
the overall picture. By eating less saturated fats, we are in effect
taking away one of our body's means of producing inflammation.
Conversely, by increasing the intake of Omega 3 and Omega 6 we are
assisting and encouraging the body to produce anti-inflammatory defence
mechanisms.
Are there any other benefits that we might gain through the use of Omega
3 and Omega 6 The answer is clearly, yes.
Arteriosclerosis is cited as the greatest factor in deaths in this
country today. (Thickening in the lining of artery walls, which lead to
heart disease.) the ingestion of Omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids
therefore benefits the body in still one more way. We actually reduce
the risk of developing heart disease and suffering cardiac arrest
through the supplementation with the Omega oils.

The essential fatty acids-omega 3, 6 and 9, linoleic acid, linolenic
Acid and gamma-linolenic acid as found in Hemp Oil are essential for the
health of the feline liver. If a dietary deficiency of EFA's occurs or
is induced in the feline, classic symptoms such as growth retardation,
sterility, fatigue, fatty liver, irritability and poor immune system
response result.
