Dear Subscriber,
Harvard Health just came out with its own warnings about fish oil, as if to mirror, almost to the day, my reports to you on the same. You can do an internet search for Harvard Health and put in further search words such as “fish oil”. The title of this particular published report from Harvard is “The false promise of fish oil supplements”
This particular report emphasized that earlier studies found that those eating fatty fish might have less vascular disease. So, the dietary natural end game would be for the profiteers to sell you fish oil, as if that is the reason. Well, perhaps fish eaters are overall more conscious of their diets. Perhaps fish eaters are eating less toxic factory farm beef. How do we know the benefit is from the oil therein? Maybe fish has less iron than beef, and that is the cause.
The article points out most everything I have covered for you, but in less detail. It tells you that extracted marine oil may be exposed to heat and oxygen. That will damage the oil and make it directly damaging to your vascular system. So, consuming conventional marine oil might actually promote more vascular disease.
Of course, the report had to promote a drug, after all, these health letters arise from the conventional side of medicine. The report continued: “If you have heart disease, you might ask your doctor about the prescription drug icosapent ethyl, a high-dose, purified EPA preparation that lowers cardiovascular risk when taken with a statin.”
Now realize that Pharma cannot patent a natural substance. So, this compound is a synthetic alteration of EPA marine oil esterifies with ethanol, not a non-patentable nutritional supplement. I have no issue that your body can unesterify it to liberate the EPA. But did Pharma do this alteration for you or to make a bundle? They HAD to make it synthetic to patent it for profit.
I cannot argue that the Pharma version might be safer with less rancidity. However, I have tried to educate you that these extra-long chain fatty acids have two other major problems. One- they might turn rancid immediately upon opening as they are purified vulnerable fatty acids. At least in fatty fish, you are eating it as a food, with all the protective food components. Secondly, consuming marine oils in pharmaceutical doses, whether as a prescription or in supplements, will stuff these highly vulnerable fatty acids into the membranes of your mitochondria, leading to premature aging and cell damage. I cannot recommend this. I know you are getting blasted with lots of information on the pro fish oil side, and from those who sell or market marine oil. The literature strongly suggests otherwise. I am friends with some of them, but even friends can disagree on science and healing methods.
I agree that there are some people who might benefit from marine oil, but I believe very few overall. Those with extremely high lipids might. The Pharma drugs are used in conjunction with statins to lower risk. You know statins are not in my favored category either.
I get my omega oils easily. I eat raw nuts, seeds. I eat leafy greens which have omega fatty acids. I often take a supplement called YES EFA, which I have written about in these reports. SUSAVE10 gets you (and our clients) a discount. Your body can convert 18 carbon chain fatty acids to the longer chain derivatives as needed for the overwhelming majority of people. I repeat that I believe one of the main causes of degenerative diseases in our modern population is “food” prepared with oils taken out of their “homes” (the intact nuts and seeds) and exposed to oxygen, light and. heat. This, in addition to raping processed foods and stripping the nutrients out of the source God made plants (or animals). Ten years into my diet I had my omega fatty acids measured. I eat no fish, but had sufficient EPA and DHA. My body, like most of you, converts the real EFAs, ALA and LA, to the longer chain omega series on demand, and without oral overdosing.
Here is one time I am grateful for the mainstream conventional medical press. I believe this report got it right on marine oil dangers, but missed the fact that fattening your system with Pharma marine oil prescription capsules might not be a good idea either.
I happen to believe that my macular degeneration began decades ago, in my younger days. My beloved mom, who graduated from this earth several years ago, was unaware of what I have brought forward. Commercial brainwashed ignorant folks with “no cholesterol” margarine and vegetable oils. She did use commercial oil, and cooked with it. Both my folks lived to about 97 but had heart issues. My dad had macular degeneration as well. I have eaten a pristine diet for at least 25 years, the last 23 being dairy eating vegetarian. I am convinced that I can still see reasonably well due to my efforts of the last few decades as well as my ozone therapy, and, particularly the Grace of the Creator.
I again thank you all for being here. Your presence gives me the drive to continue my journalism. I especially thank those of you who have supported the Premium section. I am very grateful for those who signed on as Founding members. As a token on our appreciation, Founding Member subscribers can schedule a free educational consultation with our office with me or with Terri. That should well cover your kind support.
I will be a bit slower here until January comes along as Terri and I need to take advantage of the season as well. Christmas is considered a Holy week by many millions of people on the planet. Please use it as a time to pray for peace and an unshackling of the grip of the forces of evil and Darkness that we continue to endure from barbaric inhumanity to despotic home governance. I believe we are in a huge spiritual war, but that the Light can prevail if WE bring it forth.
To Your Excellent Health,
Robert Jay Rowen, MD

As a 90-day Carnivore, a lifetime of increasingly pathologic labs are finally healthy across the board (the diabetes was corrected within the first 12 days). I'm a completely lost Pharma customer as a result and am immune to subsequent health industry hysterics about having left the fold. I've already tossed hundreds of dollars of meds and supplements as they are no longer needed in the absence of plant toxins and anti-nutrients. I just recently abandoned fish oil supplements for wild caught fatty fish as well. On that one, imo, you are on the right track. (Just as an aside, provided there's not too much damage, macular degeneration is one of the more dramatic reversals commonly reported on Carnivore.)
