Get more Omega 3 fatty acids into your diet by eating more of these foods.

I have major depression, generalized anxiety (pretty severe lately), borderline personality disorder, and bipolar II. My health insurance co. has a hotline to call for medical advice. I spoke with them and asked about a specific vitamin regimen that may be helpful to me. I did not want to go to a health food store because I wanted MEDICAL advice. I was advised as to the B’s – B 12, zinc, folic acid, etc, and also Omega-3 fatty acid/fish oil. Does anyone have any information on these in respect to mental disorders?

I’ve came across some information about natural ways of controlling anxiety and I’m very interested in it. Omega 3 Fish Oil, ect. Can anyone tell me their experience using the supplements and the side effects? Thanks.

According to the bible, God gave us instructions of what to eat and what not to eat. There is a list of “clean” animals and “unclean” animals. Clean animals are animals we should eat, and it will be beneficiary to our heath and can cause NO harm to our body, while unclean foods are suppose to be poisonous to our body. But some of the foods on the list contradict this statement. First the supposed “unclean” animal list which are “poisonous” to our body

Unclean List

Oyster (Oysters are COMPLETELY healthy and definitely isn’t poisonous to our body. Eating a small portion of oysters daily, will give you the recommended daily allowances of calcium, copper, iodine, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus and zinc. There are many other health benefits to eating oyster

Lobster (Lobsters due contain mercury, which even some of the “clean” fish contain mercury, but lobsters are extremely healthy as well. They are rich in omega 3 fatty acids, and release astaxanthin. Astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant that has tons of health benefits. Lobsters are low in calories

Worms (Though disgusting to eat, eating worms definitely isn’t poisonous. And can be healthy for you as well http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/3287733.stm) Eating worms that lives in an environment of pesticides can be poisonous, but nothing serious. Fruits and vegetables are sprayed with pesticides, are we going to claim they aren’t healthy?

Raccoons (If cooked thoroughly there are no negative affects of eating raccoons. Some people will say eating raccoons uncooked is poisonous, which the bible says. But as you will see when it comes to the “clean” animals, if uncooked can be poisonous as well

Scallops (Outside of it containing mercury, haven’t read ONE article that said scallops are poisonous and bad for us. Also contains a lot of omega 3’s)

All insects with the exception of a couple in the locust family (One, people are insects all the time and just don’t know it. Secondly some insects, outside the locust family, are completely fine to eat and aren’t poisonous, some are, some aren’t.

Also, let’s not forget the unclean bat which is supposedly a bird in the bible

Also why did God create all these “unclean” animals to begin with? What about the thousands of years (really millions, but I will stick to a 6-10,000 year old world for Christians) that man didn’t have this information? Why did he “design” a pig to be an abomination, but waited 4,000 years to tell the world. How many people died because they didn’t know these facts? Seems like a pointless creation to me. Nonetheless

Clean Animals (Remember clean animals do NO harm to our body. So some of these animals may have some health benefits, but they do tremendous harm to our body)

Chicken (Do I even need to rant about this? A lot of chicken are contaminated with Salmonella or Camphylobacter, which causes 75% of meat related deaths. I’m not going to talk about the cholesterol and bad fats)

There is a list of about 30 fish. All fish contain mercury so I won’t get into that

Deer and Elk. Both Deer and Elk have been found to have CWD (Chronic wasting disease) which is similar to mad cow disease. Not to mention the high cholesterol

Not to mention that eating any animal uncooked is totally unhealthy

So is this evidence that the bible can’t be from the word of an omnipotent God?
Christian 4 Jews read Leviticus 11 and what is says about eating unclean foods, especially fish without scales etc

I know about many health things, such as organic food, pasteurized but not homogenized milk, aluminum pots and in deoderant, natural and organic lotions and products, hydrogenated oil, high-fructose corn syrup, omega 3, spirulina, bentonite clay, amalgam fillings, mercury in certain fish, not using microwaves, whole food supplements and not vitamins, sleeping in complete darkness (for hormonal balance), etc. Is there anything else that is very important concerning health (there must be so much more) that I may not know?

Is it just the increase in omega 3 and if so can regular eggs have flaxseed or an omega 3 oil added and give the same benefits?

Heart-healthy fish oil contains omega-3 fatty acids, the critically important polyunsaturated fats with powerful healing powers. Cold-water fish are exceptionally rich sources of omega-3 fatty acids—and the colder the water, the more omega-3 fatty acids there are in the fish. Salmon, sardines, sea bass, tuna, trout, mackerel, and anchovy contain eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexanoic acid (DHA), the most potent forms of omega-3s. (Another form of omega-3 fatty acids, alpha lineolic acid, comes from plants.) Because omega-3 oils mostly come from cold-water fish and wild game—not often found in most American diets—most people don’t get enough of these essential fatty acids (efas). In addition, many food processors eliminate natural omega-3 oils, which have a tendency to spoil, to keep their products fresher. Scientific evidence for the benefits of fatty fish and fish oil has been building since the late 1970s when it was discovered that the native Inuits, who ate a diet high in omega-3 fatty acids, had surprisingly low heart attack rates. Since then, thousands of studies have shown that omega-3 fatty acids promote cardiovascular health—and a host of other physiological and mental functions. Given the mounting evidence, the American Heart Association released new dietary recommendations in the fall of 2000 advising that everyone eat at least two 3-ounce servings of fatty fish every week. Others suggest three or more servings of fish per week.
