Fish Oil for Neurogenic Pain
Neuropathic pain is a chronic pain state that can be caused by trauma to the nerve tissue. In most cases the nerve fibers are often damaged or inflamed and because of this, the nerves are sending incorrect signals to the brain’s pain centers. Neuropathic pain is initially hard to diagnose, however, treatment can be as simple as taking an Omega-3 fish oil supplement.
The body produces pro-inflammatory cytokines. Under normal function they have various roles in inflammation, fever, regulation of blood pressure, clotting, immune function, tissues growth and regulation of the sleep cycle. However, if the balance isn’t maintained due to injury or poor diet, it can cause an overwhelming inflammation response. One of the many signs of inflammation in the body is deep neuropathic pain; such as fibromyalgia, thoracic outlet syndrome, low immune function, carpal tunnel and atherosclerosis; just to state a few.
Omega 3 fatty acids have overwhelming anti-inflammatory affects. It is very crucial to proper brain and many other body functions. A recent study from The University of Toronto, Canada published a case series of patients suffering from neuropathic pain syndromes.
Five patients with different underlying diagnoses including; cervical radiculopathy (slipped disc), thoracic outlet syndrome, fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel syndrome, and severe burns, they were treated with high oral doses of omega 3 fatty acids from fish oil (varying from 2400-7200 mg/day of EPA and DHA).
As a result of this treatment, patients had significant reduction in pain, improved function and overall wellbeing. After 19 months of treatment, there were NO serious side effects. Omega 3 fatty acid supplementation aids in a wide variety of health conditions including: Joint inflammation, chronic spinal pain, auto-immune disease, depression; etc. It is thought that suppressing the pro-inflammatory cytokines with the anti inflammatory Omega 3’s can greatly affect the body processes in the positive and a healthy balance can be maintained with no side effects.

How I Lose Weight + Food Tips
** UPDATE! 01/12/08 **
This video is so old! But since it is popular, I am leaving it up.
To find all the details of this plan, plus more info on how I’ve now lost 45 Lbs, please visit:
http://antishayweightloss.com/?page_id=1098
Or see my website, antishayweightloss.com.
Everything I teach is 100% free.
Check it out!
***********************
Here’s the low-down on what I’m doing to lose weight and how it works.
1. Figure out what your “maintain weight” calories are and eat 500 calories LESS than that number every day.
2. Exercise for at least 30 minutes, 5x/week.
3. Drink water! Divide your weight in half and drink that number in ounces of water every day.
(4. Make healthier choices as you go along and get better at doing steps 1-3.)
FROM THE VIDEO:
The salad is:
1 Bowl of Romaine Lettuce and Spinach
2 Tbsp Light Vinaigrette Dressing
1/2 Tomato, sliced
1/4 Cucumber, peeled and sliced
1/4 Cup Garlic Feta Cheese
= around 110-130 calories
YUM!
Green Tea (and similar Asian teas), English Breakfast Tea and Irish Breakfast Tea need no sweetener if you use 1 Tsp of lemon juice instead (0 calories).
Vanilla chai (and decaf vanilla chai), peppermint tea and bangal spice teas all also need no sweeteners or additives of any kind.

Step 1: Cook your own meals
Cook and prepare your own meals as often as you can. This will help you avoid eating processed and fast foods, which are higher in sodium and fat.
Tip: Healthy, low-fat recipes and guidance are available in bookstores and on the internet.
Step 2: Make a shopping list
Plan healthy meals and make a shopping list. Fill your cart with lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole-grain foods, and lean meats.
Step 3: Read nutrition labels
Read nutrition labels. Pay attention to saturated fat, sodium, and sugar. The higher their numbers, the unhealthier they are.
Step 4: Eat breakfast
Eat breakfast every day. Breakfast helps to rev up your metabolism. Make it a habit to eat something within the first hour after you wake up.
Step 5: Eat every three to four hours
Try to eat small meals every three to four hours. Aim for three small, balanced meals and two snacks.
Step 6: Drink plenty of water
Drink plenty of water every day. Water hydrates the body and aids the digestive system. And it’s calorie-free!
Step 7: Feel the difference
Feel the difference in your body — more energy and stamina — as well as sharper thinking as you feed your body healthy foods.
