<p>Fish oil is making headlines yet again. Study results published in the journal <a href="http://www.canceronlinejournal.com/details/journalArticle/1025855/Nutritional_intervention_with_fish_oil_provides_a_benefit_over_standard_of_care_.html" target="_blank">Cancer</a> revealed that people who took fish oil while undergoing chemotherapy  treatment were able to stave off weight loss and muscle deterioration.</p>
<p>Folks, this is a big deal. Muscle wasting and weight loss during chronic illnesses, called cachexia, is a huge problem for <a href="http://www.whitakerwellness.com/health-concerns/cancer/" target="_blank">people dealing with cancer</a>.  And in this particular study, nearly 70 percent of the participants who  took fish oil either gained or maintained their muscle mass.</p>
<p>This is wonderful news. Whenever a nutritional supplement shows  benefits like these, I’m even more excited about getting the word out.  The dose used in the study was around 2 g daily; however, I recommend  that everyone—regardless of health status—take 2-8 g of high quality  fish oil each and every day.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Total-Body Protection</strong><br />
The reason I recommend fish oil so wholeheartedly is because the  essential fatty acids it contains, particularly DHA and EPA, have many  profoundly positive effects throughout the body. Fish oil:</p>
<p>• Protects against <a href="http://www.whitakerwellness.com/health-concerns/heart-disease/" target="_blank">heart disease<br />
</a>• Reduces inflammation throughout the body<br />
• Ameliorates symptoms of <a href="http://www.whitakerwellness.com/health-concerns/depression/" target="_blank">depression<br />
</a>• Staves off sudden cardiac death and arrhythmia (abnormal heart rhythms)<br />
• Alleviates <a href="http://www.whitakerwellness.com/health-concerns/arthritis/" target="_blank">arthritis</a> and joint pain<br />
• Supports normal cognitive function and memory</p>
<p>And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. There’s really no reason why  fish oil shouldn’t be part of your daily supplement regimen.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Eat Plenty of Fish Too<br />
</strong>In addition to 2-8 g of supplemental fish oil daily, you should  also eat a few servings of cold-water, low-mercury fish per week. Safe  species include (but are not limited to) flounder, herring, salmon,  sole, and trout. To keep your fish dishes healthy, the best preparation  methods are baking, sautéing, or grilling.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For those of you who don’t know, my friend and colleague Stanislaw Burzynski, MD, PhD, has made what I believe to be the most important cancer discovery of all time. Subscribers of my monthly newsletter <em><a href="http://www.drwhitaker.com/MainSite/Newsletter.aspx" target="_blank">Health &amp; Healing </a></em>have been following his triumphs and challenges since I first wrote about Dr. B in 1995. And now, a remarkable new movie entitled <em>Burzynski </em>can bring this amazing story right to your living room.</p>
<p><em>Burzynski</em> was featured this spring in film festivals in California, New Jersey, Florida, and Australia and screened in major cities nationwide. It won the esteemed Humanitarian Vision Award at the Newport Beach Film Festival and has received glowing reviews from critics.</p>
<p>This film highlights Dr. Burzynski’s struggle against the FDA and other federal and state bureaucrats. In it, you’ll see the unjust persecution he’s faced simply because his effective therapy challenges traditional medicine’s expensive and unsuccessful cancer treatment paradigm.</p>
<p>For 90 minutes, you’ll ride a rollercoaster of emotions: from inspiration and motivation to infuriation and frustration. And at the end of the film, you’re sure to be as big of fan of Dr. Burzynski as I am.</p>
<p>My nonprofit <a href="http://www.thefhf.org/" target="_blank">Freedom of Health Foundation</a> has been involved in the screenings and publicity of Burzynski, and we want to get it into the hands of as many people as possible. Please help me spread the word about this important movie. To get your DVD of this full-length feature film, along with key articles I’ve written about Dr. Burzynski, call (800) 792-4269, visit our Web site, <a href="http://www.thefhf.org/" target="_blank"><em>thefhf.org</em></a>, or send $20 (tax-deductible, postage included; make checks out to the Foundation) to:</p>
