Allergies and the discomfort associated with allergies and sinuses has been something I have lived with for over 20 years. I have taken prescription allergy medications 365 days a year for most of those years. My allergies and sinus problems were triggered by a number of situations including but not limited to various pollen, dust, and pet dander. I don’t seem to have allergic reactions to food or medications.

I was surprised to have immediate relief from my allergy and sinus problems from a unexpected source. I had been introduced to alkaline water by a friend of mine and started to drink this water as a preventative measure. I have known that sickness and disease thrive in an acidic environment and I wanted to drink water that was high in alkalinity to flush out the acidic toxins in my body.

You can imagine my surprise when my sinuses cleared up, as I have chronic sinus problems. I had taken prescription Claritin for years and when it became a over the counter medication, my doctor switched me to Zyrtec. Now that Zyrtec is over the counter, I continued taking the Zyrtec once a day.

After less than 30 days of drinking the alkaline water, I have been able to stop all allergy medicines.

I really don’t completely understand why this happened, but I have given this water to several of my friends and they have had the similar results. The best explanation I can give is the 9.5 pH alkaline water that is also full of antioxidants (many times more antioxidants than green tea), hexagonal in shape and super hydrating goes into your system within seconds. This enables your body to flush out the acidity and begin replenishing with healthy alkalinity. The combination of alkalinity and hydration seems to be have a natural healing effect.

Fish oil dietary supplements have a host of benefits including relief from asthma, protection from colon cancer, treatment of clinical depression, and even some positive impact on multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis.

But by far the biggest advantages of regularly taking a fish oil dietary supplement comes in the form of lower risk of heart disease and a lower triglyceride level, as well as reduced incidence of stroke and sudden death.

Fish oil is the best source of critical long-chain omega fatty acids like DHA and EPA, yet the most likely to be contaminated with PCBs, DDT and dioxin, along with heavy metals like mercury. An option that allows you to safely enjoy the benefits is to take fish oil dietary supplements in the form of capsules.

All you need in terms of DHA and EPA omega 3 fats is contained in three grams a day of fish oil. It naturally follows that when you pick a dietary supplement, you should make sure it has the highest concentration of DHA and EPA. This depends on a few factors like:

* Is the fish clean? The best brands of fish oil dietary supplements use catches from pure, cold, unpolluted waters far away from typical commercial shipping lanes.

* Is it molecularly distilled? This process not only removes all impurities and contaminants, it also concentrates the long chain omega 3s in the oil, adding to the potency.

* Is it rich in DHA and EPA? The fish oils richest in these essential fatty acids are mackerel, salmon and halibut. A little known species, the Hoki in coastal New Zealand, is a specially rich source.

* Is the fish fresh? When long transfer periods are involved, the oil can get rancid and lose potency and effect

Omega 3′s role could be absolutely life-saving! In a report in the medical journal, JAMA, 20,000 men were followed for 11 years and found that those who ate fish one or more times a week had a 50% reduced risk of sudden death from a heart attack – over the following 10 year period!

When persons who frequently ate fish were observed, it was found that they succumbed to sudden death in much fewer numbers than those who did not. This isn’t surprising, because when these few were autopsied, they were found to be free from atherosclerosis. Lancet published a paper that showed fish eaters reduce their post heart-attack risk of sudden death by 29%

A Dutch trial involving over 550 men focused on the benefit of fish for preventing stroke, and reported a whopping 51% reduction from normally expected stroke statistics from those who got omega 3 from fish in their diet. Taking fish oil supplements significantly lowered the risk of death, fatal heart attacks and stroke.

Picking the best fish oil dietary supplement is therefore a very serious and important decision that impacts your health and welfare. Choose wisely and well.
