“What’s your CRP?” – Take the CRP Challenge

In studies involving large numbers of patients, CRP levels seem to be correlated with levels of heart disease risk. In fact, CRP seems to predict cardiovascular risk at least as well as cholesterol levels do. Data from the Physicians Health Study, a clinical trial involving 18,000 apparently healthy doctors, found that elevated levels of CRP were associated with a threefold increase in the risk of heart attack.

Purified Omega 7 helps cool the fire

“We have seen significant reduction in CRP across the board–an average of 67% in one month”

Purified Omega 7 has been clinically shown to reduce C-reactive protein (CRP), which measures chronic inflammation — the best predictor of heart disease. As Luis Martinez, MD, a Board Certified Clinical Lipidologist who has been using Purified Omega 7 in his practice says: “We have seen significant reduction in CRP across the board–an average of 67% in one month. Purified Omega 7 has become a staple in my practice.”

Purified Omega 7: “Just a little does a whole lot”

In this 4-minute video, Dr. Michael F. Roizen, Chairman of the Wellness Institute of The Cleveland Clinic, talks about atherosclerosis and heart disease, its causes and consequences: heart attack, stroke, memory loss, impotence, and wrinkling.

Dr. Roizen shares how purified Omega 7 (palmitoleic acid) can potentially help in the fight against diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and atherosclerosis. This is exciting news because Purified Omega 7 “antagonizes” all three because it has been shown to decrease insulin resistance, decrease hepatic fat accumulation, and decrease acute and chronic inflammation - with no side effects.

“This could have a huge benefit for our populations as a whole”

To conclude, Dr. Roizen puts purified Omega 7 into perspective: “This could have a huge benefit for our populations as a whole because metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and diabetes are big things we need to tackle for us to be more competitive for jobs, and the United States to be more competitive as a society.”

Purified Omega 7: “A medical breakthrough”

The "You" Docs

By Drs. Oz & Roizen, the “You Docs” (Excerpted from “Four Medical Breakthroughs you should know about”)

Recently, we were totally blown away by four medical breakthroughs we think you should know about.

Purified Omega 7: The ‘new’ good fat

The “new” good fat: You’ve already heard plenty about DHA, the great-for-you omega-3 fatty acid in fatty fish and algae or fish-oil capsules. Now, research from Harvard Medical School, the Cleveland Clinic (where Dr. Mike is Chief Wellness Officer) and universities in Hawaii and Japan revealed that Omega-7 fatty acids found in purified palmitoleic acid have amazing powers too!

Our take: Take 200 milligrams of purified omega-7 in capsule form along with 900 milligrams of DHA daily.

What the new warning labels on statins mean (and 4 natural alternatives)

An Alternative to Statins to Lower Cholesterol

“We all need cholesterol.”

It plays a crucial role in the production of acids needed to break down fats and digest food. The problem is, too many of us get too much of a good thing.

In the last twenty years, statin drugs have been prescribed for high cholesterol. Formerly hailed as the wonder drugs of the 21st century, statins slow down the production of cholesterol and increase the liver’s ability to remove LDL (or “bad”) cholesterol.

Omega 7 Palmitoleic Acid: A New Hope

There is a new fight–a struggle between good and evil.

It’s happening in our own bodies. It’s happening with our food choices.

Many of the foods that are killing us are hiding in plain sight–many contain a saturated fatty acid called palmitic acid, which is prevalent foods that are high in saturated fats, such as processed meets, cheeses, and dairy products.

Body Wars

There is a War for Good and Evil in our own Bodies

Not all Fatty Acids were created equal

On one hand you have Palmitic Acid, a “bad fatty acid”. A saturate, it is well documented that palmitic acid has been shown to have toxic effects on pancreatic beta cells, leading to a greater chance for insulin resistance and subsequent development of diabetes.

On the other hand you have Palmitoleic Acid, a “good fatty acid”. A Monounsaturated fatty acid, it protects against the negative effects of Palmitic Acid. You can reduce the negative impact of the saturates in your diet by ingesting higher concentrations of the “good fatty acids”.

A Good Fat? That helps you lose weight? For real?

It is common knowledge in the scientific community that adipose tissue (commonly known as body fat) produces hormones. Leptin, for example, which regulates weight gain.

A breakthrough discovery

Omega 7 Palmitoleic Acid

The thin mouse was administered Palmitoleic Acid

In the fall of 2008, the journal “Cell” reported the discovery of a new type of adipose hormone. What was unusual about this one is that it is a “lipokine“, a  new class of hormone that is not a steroid or protein–but a fatty acid.

The newly discovered liopkine is called C16:1n7-palmitoleate. It is a particular version of a sixteen-carbon chain derived from the monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) palmitoleic acid.

The positive health benefits of monounsaturated fats… [Read more...]

Why Heart Disease is the #1 Killer in the US (and 4 things you can do to avoid being becoming a statistic)

About every 25 seconds, an American will have a coronary event

Heart MonitorThe most common heart disease in the United States is coronary heart disease, which often appears as a heart attack or a stroke. In 2010, an estimated 785,000 Americans had a new coronary attack, and about 470,000 had a recurrent attack. Every 25 seconds, an American will have a coronary event, and about one every minute will die from one.

And it’s a shame because in many cases the lost lives are tied directly to lifestyle–particularly diet. The chance of developing coronary heart disease can be greatly reduced by taking steps to prevent and control factors that put people at greater risk.

The link between nutrition and heart health

As part of Heart Health Month, the American Heart Association wants everyone to take a good look at the things in our lives that we can control. Such as re-evaluating our diet and getting regular blood tests to determine our cholesterol numbers.

With one quick look it’s easy to see that we humans were never meant to eat the types of foods we consume every day. There is a direct link between nutrition and heart disease. Poor eating habits could very soon lead to the fist generation of Americans to live shorter lives than the generation before them.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. [Read more...]
