Treating Inflammation with Fish Oils

August 23, 2017 by hellnotesforbeauty | 2 Comments

 After being diagnosed in late 2014 with not only one but TWO autoimmune diseases, (Lupus and Rheumatoid Arthritis) I’ve taken a hard look at my lifestyle. An auto immune disease is when your immune system attacks itself and if systematic, can also affect other organs throughout the body.

This Summer I got caught up with a very bad “flare up” and decided to work on preventing another flare up for the rest of my life. With an autoimmune disease, flare ups are sporadic and quite common and also very painful. With Lupus, RA and other known immune disorders, flares can be triggered from anything, be it the environment (sun exposure, cold, etc.), emotional, or diet. Diet is by far the most predominant cause for my flare ups, second to emotion, (stress).

Nonetheless, this painful journey has led me to many realizations about the poisons that exist all around us in the foods we consume, our environment and the state of our emotional and mental health. These factors have a lot to do with how I manage any “flares” I may experience, especially if I don’t keep my diet and mental health in balance.

Read more to learn about Fish Oils and how Fish Oils help with my autoimmune symptoms.

What are fish Oils and what are the health benefits?

First, lets’ take a brief look at some of the generally known benefits of adding fish oil to your health regimen.

  • Manages ADHD; known as the “brain food”
  • Alzheimer’s; Dementia; Memory loss
  • Depression/Anxiety/Irritability
  • Arthritis
  • Cancer
  • Cardiovascular Disease; High Blood Pressure
  • Diabetes
  • Improves Eye Sight
  • Treats Inflammation
  • Boosts Immune System
  • Gorgeous Skin, Hair & Nail growth
  • Fertility/Pregnancy
  • Weight Loss
  • Brain Function

“Fish oil comes from the tissues of oily fish. The best sources are cold-water, fatty fish. When it comes to human consumption of fish oil, you can get it from fish themselves or from a fish oil supplement. Fish oil is a concentrated source of omega-3 fats, which are also called ω-3 fatty acids or n-3 fatty acids. To get more scientific, omega-3s are polyunsaturated fatty acids, or PUFAs. Our bodies are able to make most of the fats we need, but that’s not true for omega-3 fatty acids. When it comes to these essential fats, we need to get them from omega-3 foods or supplements.

Fish oil contains two very important omega-3 PUFAs. I’m talking about docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). DHA and EPA are sometimes called the marine omega-3s because they mainly come from fish. Some of the best fish to eat to obtain fish oil from in your diet include wild-caught salmon, herring, white fish, sardines and anchovies.”-Dr. Axe

Check out these informative articles for additional information about is fish oils, the health benefits of consuming fish oils and which the best regimen for you:
  • Dr. Axe: 13 Benefits of Fish Oils
  • Dr. Mercola Fish Oils
  • Dr. Mercola: Krill Vs. Fish Oil

How does Fish Oil Help with my Auto Immune diseases?

Autoimmunity occurs when your immune system confuses your own tissues as foreign invaders and as a result targets your entire cells. Inflammation is one of the main culprit and driver of most, if not all auto immune diseases and in many cases, associated with other diseases as well, including cancer. Over 20 Million people are affected with an auto immune disease in one form or another and women happen to have a higher percentage rate of being diagnosed with an auto immune disease.

Below are some commonly known auto immune diseases.

  • Lupus
  • Grave’s Disease
  • Hashimoto
  • MS (Multiple Scelrosis)
  • IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)
  • Celiac Disease

Inflammation occurs naturally in the body and is actually necessary for healing, but when experienced chronically there are issues that arise and manifest as immune disorders. I was really surprised to learn that autoimmune issues originate in the gut.  If your gut is out of balance, inflammation will run rampant throughout.

Fish Oils work by helping alleviate the pain associated with chronic inflammation. It also triggers other cells to signal the reduction of inflammation.

“Fish oils suppress the formation of inflammatory cytokines and eicosanoids and this is believed to be associated with less pain and inflammation. However, rather than shutting down the COX inflammatory pathway (like NSAID drugs-so called “COX inhibitors”) they are metabolized by that pathway into powerful anti-inflammatory molecules known as the resolvins and the protectins. These have been shown to have many effects, not the least of which is activating the recovery process of inflammation. So unlike NSAID’s (Motrin, Alleve, Ibuprofen, Voltaren, Celebrex) which block an important inflammation pathway and cause sudden death via heart attacks and fatal stomach ulcers, fish oil increases good molecules that can control inflammation”-Source

 

How I Take Fish Oils and My Personal Experience

I remember when I was little my mom forcing my sister and I to take a spoonful of this stuff every other day.  It was in a brown bottle and used to smell to high heaven. That smell of fish oil was so disgusting and nauseating to me and there was no chaser at the end. The after taste would last for the whole day and I hated that when I burped throughout the day the scent would linger….YUCK.

But despite its disgusting smell and taste, my mother and grandmother knew what they were doing.  Looking back I can see why they made sure Fish Oil was part of our diet as children.

I started taking fish oils at the start of the year 2017 and with like most supplements I rotate into my diet, I stopped taking it after 3 months in March. I like to rotate my supplement intake and normally take them for 2-3 months at a time to see how my body reacts to it. After that, I stop taking them for another 2-3 months and reincorporate the same supplement back it into my diet or try something else. When taking fish oils I try to take at least 2 a day, one after breakfast in the morning and one after dinner at night.

Since the body does not produce Omega 3’s it’s important we try to get Fish Oil nutrients either via supplements or our diets. Although ideally our diets would be the best bet, given how we farm most of our sea food and rarely consume wild caught fish, a supplement may be your best option.  Fish Oil supplements can be purchased at most health stores. You want to make sure that you’re getting the most natural form of fish oil and that you research the vendor to make sure you’re getting the best quality for your buck.

The reason why I chose fish oil to help with flare ups is to avoid and if possible, completely eliminate my dependence on NSAIDS such as ibuprofen (Motrin), Naproxen (Aleve) and other non-inflammatory pain killers.  Although these pain killers work for the moment, they’re only masking the problem. And if my symptoms gets worse it can lead to me dealing with steroid pain killers. All these medications come with a laundry list of side effect that can cause permanent damage to other organs.

At least with fish oils I can work on beating inflammation while at the same time nourishing my body without the negative side effects.

What brand of Fish Oil do you prefer?

After some research and recommendations, I purchased the brand by Carlson at my local health store. This particular brand had the most researchable reviews online and they’ve been recognized with many awards for brand notoriety and quality. Carlson is also a family run company dedicated to premium quality of not only Fish Oils but other amazing supplements.  Fish oils can be a little pricey so depending on the brand you choose and where you purchase it from, prices can vary. I purchased mine with a bonus bottle for about $25.

Unlike the good ol’ days of my mom, these are capsules which are flavored. I don’t know if the flavor is necessary as I don’t seem to burp these fish oils, so I don’t deal with any after tastes throughout the day.

What are the side effects or precautions of fish oil?

Although side effects are not common with Fish Oils there are some precautions to take as with any new supplement you may be starting.  Depending on where you purchase your fish oil from you may be exposed to high levels of mercury if it’s not processed or sourced from a reputable brand.  People with stomach sensitivities such as IBS should take it with food to avoid any stomach or bowel disruptions.

 

*Disclaimer: I’m not a Medical Doctor, Psychologist nor am I making any claims for healing. If you have a medical condition or are interested in taking fish oils, please make sure to discuss with your trusted Medical Professionals.

I been doing 24 hour juice cleanses every Monday f I been doing 24 hour juice cleanses every Monday for the past few weeks and I looveee it there!

I notice how energized and light I feel during and after each cleanse and most times I crave doing it again by the end of the week. Dedicating one full day to allow my digestive system to take a break can make all the difference in my energy levels.  Not only that, but it helps prime your body to detoxify and flush out toxins from your system, especially the digestive system which is central to keep your immune system strong, clear  brain fog and relieve constipation among other great benefits.

Its incredible and noticeable how a quick 24 hour juice cleanse can provide all the nutrients the body needs in such a short time frame. If you've been dealing with skin issues such as rashes, acne or redness, trouble sleeping, feeling fatigued and sluggish trying a juice or smoothie cleanse for one day can help your system clear out toxins as well as give your digestive system and detoxifying organs, such as your liver, the relief it needs to do their job of detoxifying your blood and organs. 

Here are some positive things your body will benefit from a cleanse:

Mental Clarity
Less Bloating
Relieve Inflammation
Hydration
Relieve Constipation
More Energy 
Boost your Metabolism
Stabilize Blood Sugar Levels
Flush out Toxins

I start off my day with 16 oz of lime water (wait 30 mins) followed by 16 oz of celery juice (wait 30 mins) then I drink my juices for the day every 2-3 hours until 8pm and close out my day with some warm tea. Rule of thumb is to try your best to not mix vegetables with fruits with the exception of carrots and apples.  Most fruits and vegetables don't mix well since some are more difficult to digest and when combined incorrectly can cause more bloating and gases. Never mix melons with anything, they're best when eaten on its own. I tend to go for "Mono" juicing or smoothies which is a juice or smoothie with just one ingredient at a time.  Smoothies contains fiber from the fruit or vegetable you're blending which is ideal if you're dealing with constipation, whereas juicing the fibers are removed and you're left with the concentrated juice.

Have you taken notice that when you light a candle Have you taken notice that when you light a candle in ritual you're manifesting with the 4 elements?

- The flame ignites and sets your intention in motion (Fire)
- The melting wax represents fluidity, communication (Water)
- The smoke transports your intent for manifestation (Air)
- The candle itself represents you, matter, your intent (Earth)

Candle Magic is nothing "new age", have you ever blown out your own birthday candles? Well, that's a ritual in itself if you ask me. When you close your eyes to make the birthday wish you access the darkness (your subconscious mind) to speak to the (universe). The candle acts as a material vessel to your conscious mind, all in unison toward the same purpose on the material plane.  My favorite part of candle magic beside my intention is "dressing" or "fixing" the candle as it's called in Hoodoo magic.  Candle magic is by far the most accessible way to activate your subconscious mind and work with the basic elements of nature. 

Any type of candle will do be it a 7 day glass candle, a pull out candle, a mini taper candle or even a tealight.  Your greatest tool for any type of ritual is your intent and purpose.  The candle is just a tangible, materialized representation of your subconscious mind, where your conscious mind needs to hear, see, feel and touch to make it real and program it into your subconscious.

The colors are endless, Black for banishing and shadow work, Yellow for mental stimulation, Blue for dreams and communication, Green for healing and ambition, red for passion, stimulation and love, Brown for grounding and balance and the list goes on.

You can also dress your candles with items right from you kitchen such as powdered cinnamon to clear your senses and attract luck, crushed bay leaves to protect and purify, Sea Salt to cleanse and purify, ground cloves to attract money and opportunities. Activate your imagination and align your purpose.

Have you taken notice that when you light a candle Have you taken notice that when you light a candle in ritual you're manifesting with the 4 elements?

- The flame ignites and sets your intention in motion (Fire)
- The melting wax represents fluidity, communication (Water)
- The smoke transports your intent for manifestation (Air)
- The candle itself represents you, matter, your intent (Earth)

Candle Magic is nothing "new age", have you ever blown out your own birthday candles? Well, that's a ritual in itself if you ask me. When you close your eyes to make the birthday wish you access the darkness (your subconscious mind) to speak to the (universe). The candle acts as a material vessel to your conscious mind, all in unison toward the same purpose on the material plane.  My favorite part of candle magic beside my intention is "dressing" or "fixing" the candle as it's called in Hoodoo magic.  Candle magic is by far the most accessible way to activate your subconscious mind and work with the basic elements of nature. 

Any type of candle will do be it a 7 day glass candle, a pull out candle, a mini taper candle or even a tealight.  Your greatest tool for any type of ritual is your intent and purpose.  The candle is just a tangible, materialized representation of your subconscious mind, where your conscious mind needs to hear, see, feel and touch to make it real and program it into your subconscious.

The colors are endless, Black for banishing and shadow work, Yellow for mental stimulation, Blue for dreams and communication, Green for healing and ambition, red for passion, stimulation and love, Brown for grounding and balance and the list goes on.

You can also dress your candles with items right from you kitchen such as powdered cinnamon to clear your senses and attract luck, crushed bay leaves to protect and purify, Sea Salt to cleanse and purify, ground cloves to attract money and opportunities. Activate your imagination and align your purpose.

I been doing 24 hour juice cleanses every Monday f I been doing 24 hour juice cleanses every Monday for the past few weeks and I looveee it there!

I notice how energized and light I feel during and after each cleanse and most times I crave doing it again by the end of the week. Dedicating one full day to allow my digestive system to take a break can make all the difference in my energy levels.  Not only that, but it helps prime your body to detoxify and flush out toxins from your system, especially the digestive system which is central to keep your immune system strong, clear  brain fog and relieve constipation among other great benefits.

Its incredible and noticeable how a quick 24 hour juice cleanse can provide all the nutrients the body needs in such a short time frame. If you've been dealing with skin issues such as rashes, acne or redness, trouble sleeping, feeling fatigued and sluggish trying a juice or smoothie cleanse for one day can help your system clear out toxins as well as give your digestive system and detoxifying organs, such as your liver, the relief it needs to do their job of detoxifying your blood and organs. 

Here are some positive things your body will benefit from a cleanse:

Mental Clarity
Less Bloating
Relieve Inflammation
Hydration
Relieve Constipation
More Energy 
Boost your Metabolism
Stabilize Blood Sugar Levels
Flush out Toxins

I start off my day with 16 oz of lime water (wait 30 mins) followed by 16 oz of celery juice (wait 30 mins) then I drink my juices for the day every 2-3 hours until 8pm and close out my day with some warm tea. Rule of thumb is to try your best to not mix vegetables with fruits with the exception of carrots and apples.  Most fruits and vegetables don't mix well since some are more difficult to digest and when combined incorrectly can cause more bloating and gases. Never mix melons with anything, they're best when eaten on its own. I tend to go for "Mono" juicing or smoothies which is a juice or smoothie with just one ingredient at a time.  Smoothies contains fiber from the fruit or vegetable you're blending which is ideal if you're dealing with constipation, whereas juicing the fibers are removed and you're left with the concentrated juice.
