A rather amazing mouse study has just shown that DHA, an important omega-3 essential fatty acid that is known to support healthy brain function, completely protected the brains of mice exposed to a known toxin that routinely produces Parkinson’s disease.

A randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study tested 1200 IU of vitamin E per day for two years in patients with coronary artery disease. The study is significant because various forces promoting drugs have fraudulently concocted anti-vitamin E studies in an effort to get older people to take more drugs and to not take vitamin E. Of course, the Big Pharma-sponsored media did not report the pro-vitamin E study.

Quercetin has long been used as a potent natural anti-allergen, as it helps to stabilize the histamine-containing mast cells. New research is showing that quercetin does this by modifying inflammatory signals at the gene level. Inflammatory signals such as TNFa, IL6, and NF kappaB were all reduced by quercetin. Problems such as asthma typically have elevations of these inflammatory markers.

DHA is the preferred essential fatty acid for the structure of healthy brain cells. A variety of new research clearly shows that the higher the level of omega 3 oils like DHA in the diet and in the blood, the better the brain works.

The healthy structure of the skin is vital to maintaining the skin’s role as part of the immune system. New research showed that ongoing stress irritated the skin, as nerves are wired directly to the skin. This resulted in a decrease of the integrity of skin itself, an increase of immune-suppressing glucocorticoids in the skin, and a decrease of front line immune soldiers that are naturally part of the skin (antimicrobial peptides).
