Discover These 5 Things To Reduce The Biggest Cause Of Chronic Pain & Illness.
Welcome… This report could be a lifesaver. I know it’s a big claim – reducing chronic pain & illness – but discovering the main cause of this, and more importantly, what you can do about it, can be life transforming. Like millions of people around the world, chances are you're suffering from some sort of pain or illness – sore achy joints, declining memory, dry skin, heart attacks, dry eyes, lack of energy, weak immune system, loss of bone mass – all of these are directly linked to a dangerous 'Omega Imbalance'. This imbalance has our society locked in a chronic sterile inflamed state – a silent epidemic. Although you are under attack, I have good news for you. This short report is here to empower you, and arm you with 5 things you need to know to reduce inflammation, allowing you reclaim an enjoyable and healthy life. Getting back your sense of independence, being able to open jars, tie shoe laces, do the gardening, swing a golf club, or hoist the kids into the back seat of the car – adds up to a higher quality (and much more enjoyable) life. By the end of this report, you’ll discover:
- What an ‘Omega Imbalance’ and ‘Chronic Sterile Inflamed State’ is.
- The different levels of inflammation.
- The top ‘culprit’ causing inflammation.
- How to get the Omega ratio right.
- The shortcut to creating the right balance in your body.
I look forward to helping you live a much healthier, happier, pain free, independent life. Regards, Daniel King. MSc (hons) Director of About Health
- What is an ‘Omega Imbalance’ and ‘Chronic Sterile Inflamed State’?
What we term as ‘Omega Imbalance’, is due to the consumption of too many inflammation promoting Omega 6's and too little anti-inflammatory Omega 3's. The resulting increase in inflammation is referred to as sterile because it’s not caused by bacterial or viral infection in most of us. For most people, this inflammation is classed as ‘chronic inflammation’ because it has been going on since most of us were kids. As a kid I hated fish and lived on high sugar cereals and low quality grains that had little to no Omega 3’s, and tons of Omega 6’s – I was Omega 6 poisoned. Looking back now I would have been labelled as ADD, and it makes sense now as I experienced a severe lack of focus and continual mental fog due to this Omega Imbalance. The shocking news is even if you consider yourself a healthy eater, eating fresh raw and organic foods, there’s a good chance your Omega 6 intake is far too high compared to your Omega 3 intake – those special breads, nuts, seeds, vegetable oils, spreads – have a strong Omega 6 dominance. The modern day diet produces common ratios of 10:1, 25:1 or even 50:1, meaning Omega 6 levels are outweighing Omega 3 levels 10 to 50 times or more – when research suggests healthy levels around the 1:1 or 5:1 range! This inflammation, when left unattended, can lead to serious, debilitating, and even life-threatening health complications, including nasty thickening, narrowing and hardening of your arteries. This makes it difficult for life-giving blood to push through your body's most critical blood vessels back to your heart. Another area that this Omega Imbalance effects is in bone density. Osteporosis and osteopenia are the fancy medical terms for loss of bone mass as we age. While it is clear hormones have a big role in this, so do the Omega 3 fats. Data from a giant health study known as the “Women’s Health Initiative” suggests that the risk of fracture is related to the Omega ratio in your body, which needs to be in a much healthier range. And if you’re a baby boomer – this Omega Imbalance most likely has a target on your back. Even if you’re reading this saying, “no aches and pains here” I would take this report to heart and read every single word as it will only be a matter of time. Best to be prepared now by following the information I’m sharing with you rather than dismissing this critical health warning. This Omega Imbalance is very real, and can manifest literally overnight, due to an accumulation of life long bad habits, eating poor quality heavily processed foods, and being fed the wrong information from your Government, the media, and big Pharma! There's no escaping processed foods as they line our grocery store shelves, and cleverly catching our attention, but not only that, the foods you thought were healthy, many of them turn out to be just as harmful for your body. Common every day foods like GMO wheat, bread, snack bars, dressings, cooking oils, factory farmed eggs, anti-biotic ridden meats, farmed frankenfish, fried foods, peanut butter, MSG laden chips and crackers...and many foods drowning in sugar and high fructose corn syrup. You can no longer ignore this issue… Ignorance is not bliss...ignorance has a heavy price that you'll have to pay. You simply have to open your eyes and see the people around you, at work, at the shopping mall...or even in the mirror! Do you see happy healthy people, or bodies that have been neglected due to the seductions and illusions created by our system that we’re deeply immersed in? Think I'm being a little harsh or abrasive, well, please see this as a wake-up call. Let’s look into the different levels of inflammation and why they matter.
- The Different Levels Of Inflammation.
There are two levels of inflammation – acute and chronic. Acute inflammation, also known as ‘healthy inflammation’ which is a self defence mechanism initiated by the body as a means of protection. The purpose of this type of inflammation is to remove harmful stimuli such as damaged cells, pathogens, and irritants, so that the body can begin the healing process. Chronic inflammation is known as ‘unhealthy inflammation’. This can trigger widespread damage and trigger a host of dangerous conditions. The problem with chronic inflammation is that when you need free radicals to be mobilized, for example if you fall sick or get food poisoning, this response is maintained at a high level of alert in your body, and does not switch off. This keeps the inflammation in a state of emergency, draining vital resources that are essential for fighting infections. This is very taxing on your system, and as we age, it makes us much more susceptible to many diseases. All of us are experiencing an increasing toxic assault on our bodies, due to the rising intake of processed foods, trans fats, sugar and refined carbohydrates, alcohol and tobacco, processed meats, poor sleep, increased stress, lack of nutrients, poor water quality, dependence on pharmaceutical drugs, wifi and electromagnetic pollution…along with reduced exercise – makes the perfect cocktail for pain and disease, which may lead to the ultimate loss of life. The burden of this toxic overload on our system has driven an explosion of inflammatory problems, where chronic inflammation causes virtually all leading diseases. Debilitating conditions and symptoms that could be caused, or made worse by chronic inflammation: – Allergies – Alzheimer’s disease – Arthritis – Asthma – Atherosclerosis – Bronchitis – Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) – Colitis – Crohn’s disease – Depression – Dermatitis – Eczema – Emphysema – Hypertension – Inflammatory bowel disease – Insomnia – Metabolic syndrome – Osteoporosis – Poor concentration or memory – Psoriasis – Symptoms of peri‑menopause and menopause – Ulcerative colitis – Weight gain The good news is that our bodies aren't designed to hit a continual health crisis after the age of 40. Far from it. Armed with the right information, the right foods, the right supplements - you can win the war and reclaim your health again. If you suffer from stiff and painful joints, skin problems (including excessive dry skin), eczema, mood swings, mental fog and memory issues, heart problems, low energy, fading eyesight, weak bones…then these are symptoms that you are experiencing an Omega Imbalance, which will continue to suppress your immune system. If you don’t hit this head on and start taking action right now – then this train will never stop as it races out of control towards an advanced stage of toxic inflammation. I bring this information to you straight from the trenches, not some type of intellectual hypothesis. Our company has helped thousands of people for over 10 years which gives me extreme confidence when presenting you with this report. By creating small daily changes in your lifestyle, you can bring about a dramatic positive change in your life. Imagine going to your next doctor’s visit with confidence, where you happily get your cholesterol levels done. Or getting a surprised look from your doctor when he tells you that your blood pressure equates to that of a teenager.
- The Top ‘Culprit’ Causing Inflammation.
Let’s talk about fat… Ever wondered what all the different types of fats on food labels mean? Here lies the root of the problem regarding omega 3 & omega 6 saturated and trans fats. Avoid cooking with polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA’s) such as vegetable oil, soybean oil, corn oil, sunflower oil. Now the absolute WORST oil to cook with is canola oil. These oils are loaded with Omega 6’s and throw your Omega balance right out of whack, which you know by now, can be seriously debilitating. As you can see from the graph, consumption of PUFA’s have increased rapidly. Here lies the issue with PUFA’s. Generally, these oils are rancid. Yes – rancid, rotten, trash. PUFA’s are highly unstable under heat, light and pressure, all of which heavily oxidize these oils. If ingested, they cause an explosion of free radicals in your body which ultimately causes inflammation. The other issue it that PUFA’s can easily turn into trans fats under high heat which is why canola oil is the worst oil to cook with, with the highest percentage of PUFA’s turning into trans fats. But it gets worse...many of the refined vegetable oils like soybean and corn oils are usually extracted using toxic chemical solvents such as hexane to pull out more oil from the crops. Trace elements of chemical residue are left in the oil even though steps have been taken to remove them all. If you find yourself confused on this matter let me assure you that you’re not alone. The medical establishment for decades has advised you to consume vegetable oils (omega-6 PUFAs) to prevent heart disease, yet human trials have conclusively demonstrated that vegetable oils DO NOT decrease atherosclerosis or decrease your risk of dying from cardiovascular disease. The hidden problem is that PUFA’s are cheap sources of oil and are included in just about everything we eat. Even the so called goods fats, even if not exposed to heat, are throwing us into a state of Omega Imbalance. Salad dressings, packaged foods, baked and fried foods, protein bars, cereals, dried fruit and nuts…and the list goes on. Other pro-inflammatory foods to reduce or cut from your diet include sugar, refined grains, processed or low quality meat, conventional dairy products But there’s something we can do about this to turn things around, which I will share with you shortly.
- How To Get Your Omega Ratio Right.
By now, you will know if you are experiencing chronic inflammation and have a good understanding about the root cause of this debilitating issue. Yet on the other hand, you may not be aware of your Omega Imbalance, but there’s a good chance you have something happening beneath the surface. You could have ‘silent inflammation’. This is where you do not have any current pain or disease. This can turn into a malignant seed for chronic diseases such as diabetes, arthritis, stroke, dementia and some cancers. So please pay close attention to this as the following applies to you also. To get your Omega’s back in balance, we need to set a healthy range of Omega 6’s : Omega 3’s at 5:1, or better yet, 1:1. By adding a few anti-inflammatory foods this can work wonders, but there are some issues we need to consider. Unfortunately, the solution is not as simple as eating more foods rich in omega 3 due to the amount you would have to consume that makes it downright impossible. And some healthy seed options, have a strong Omega 6 dominance as show in the table above. They are to be used sparingly. Although omega 3’s primarily come from seafood and shellfish, to start correcting the Omega Imbalance you would have to consume more than 4 pounds of shrimp, 25 cans of tuna, over 3 pounds of salmon every single day! Then you have to deal with yet more toxic overload as many of these seafood sources are contaminated. The bigger the fish the more contamination they have – tuna (being a large fish) generally have very high levels of mercury. As for salmon, you want to be eating wild salmon, but sadly, majority of the salmon available in grocery stores is farmed salmon, which has many issues during intensive breeding, and the huge environmental issues it creates. Increased sea lice, chemical treatments, disease, algae blooms, waste on ocean floors, escaping of ‘alien’ species… So what’s the answer to getting this balancing act right?
- The Shortcut To Creating The Right Balance In Your Body.
Right now, you will have a good understanding about the serious issues related to an Omega Imbalance, and know that it would be near impossible to eat your way to a healthy and safe ratio. No one is going to be force feeding themselves pounds of fish and shellfish all day long! Imagine stacking up 25 cans of tuna…and that’s just for breakfast! And consider this as research suggests that consuming the right fats are more important than taking a daily multi vitamin. So you can supplement with fish oil…but this comes with some stark warnings. Not all fish oils are created equal. Fish oil is extremely sensitive to light and heat. Consumers have no way of knowing the quality of fish oil supplements sold in retail. How long has the product been sitting around for? Have they bought in bulk and has the product sitting around for a long time? How it been stored in a hot room? Has it been exposed to bright display lights or direct sunlight? Retail has tight margins; most products are almost identical from brand to brand, so it’s a race for companies to provide the cheapest product with a huge sacrifice in the level of quality. This can often mean that corners are cut. Most brands still use low quality 30% Omega-3, bulk commodity oil, often from the cheapest source (often from China). A study by Consumer Lab examined 35 leading fish oil brands and found that nearly 1/3 of them had excessive contaminants and misleading information on their labels. And if you found a high quality fish oil, this alone is not the answer – you need a multi fronted approach, giving maximum benefits, and peace of mind that what you put into your body is doing more good rather than causing you more harm. So who can you trust? Let’s check off the requirements for a high quality supplement:
- Positive testimonials
- Correct storage facility
- Money back guarantee
- Strong company values
- Quality capsule containers
- Certificate of Analysis (COA)
- Product source sustainability
- Unbiased human clinical studies
- GMP rated encapsulation process
- Correct combination of multiple ingredients
To me make things easier for you I want to provide a shortcut to getting your Omega’s back in balance, so you can fend off the debilitating pains and diseases that are plaguing people in today’s modern day society. Let me introduce you to About Health. A company with a solid 10 year history, who stands for producing high quality products, with proven human clinical trials, where no corners cut are cut.
Who Are We – And Why Should You Listen?
My name is Daniel King, founder of About Health. I’m formerly a scientist, and have uncovered every stone I can on my quest for the truth about health. The truth that is being hidden from you. The health system has been hijacked, where your health is not the number one concern of the ‘system’...it’s all about money. And sadly, it appears that more money is made from a sick society rather than a healthy one. This leaves the responsibility of health in our own hands and I’m here to be your guide. I first came up with the idea of a fish oil product at a very low period in my life. My father, Lester, had pancreatic cancer, and sadly lost the battle. This was my driving force and inspiration behind our multi ingredient formula, Lester’s oil. I knew that if I had created this product earlier, I could have extended my father’s time on this planet. So I wanted to create something that would actually make a change for good, by using a unique approach. Due to my scientific background, I wanted to dig in deep and create the best product I could, based on real research, real facts, real results. I was disheartened with the flood of inferior products that were flooding the health market, which is largely unregulated. Leaving plenty of room for charlatan’s and snake oil salesman to provide bogus products in exchange for your hard earned money. The further I dove into my research, I kept finding the same thing that I am sharing with you today – the plague of chronic inflammation being driven by a serious Omega Imbalance. I knew that fish oil was the answer – but not just any fish oil. I searched for the best expert on oils and fats. And I found Dr Laurence Eyres, B.Sc., PhD., MBA. We were in perfect alignment, so I bought him on board as our science advisory, to leverage his many years of experience and expertise. Dr. Laurence Eyres is an expert in the field of oils and fats (lipids) and is one of the most experienced scientists in NZ. He has had a varied career in the Food Industry spanning thirty five years and currently runs his own contracting / consulting business for the Food and Dietary Supplements Industries specializing in dairy, oils and fats and related lipids, product and business development. Until recently (2009) he was Business Development Director, Food and Nutrition at Auckland University. When we teamed up, we knew about all the problems associated with retail stores. Dr Laurence was personally involved in studying fish oil supplements a handful of years ago for Consumer Magazine, and is frequently asked to comment on this subject in the media. It was like the perfect collaboration…and Lester’s Oil was born!
The Lester’s Oil Difference
With Lester’s Oil, we set out to make as good a quality product as we possibly could, by introducing improvements at every stage of the process. We checked out many oil suppliers (we did not let our manufacturer choose). We found that Chinese manufacturers can produce double strength oils, but we selected a supplier from the United Kingdom and Laurence even visited and audited the plant. The company we use are experts in their field and produce a double strength Omega-3 fish oil (from a sustainable source which was very important) for us that has the extra benefit of being purified to remove mercury. Fish Oil can turn rancid extremely rapidly, just minutes can make a difference, so the blending of Lester’s Oil with the other ingredients occurs under nitrogen gas; an inert gas that keeps air out so the oil does not react or turn rancid. The bottles are also nitrogen washed to keep air out before they are opened by the consumer. Unlike retail products, Lester’s Oil is stored in air-conditioned darkness until it is shipped direct to our customers in light proof bottles. On average, Lester’s Oil is just a handful of weeks old when sent to our customers and we sell a lot of Lester’s Oil, which allows us to make batches extremely frequently. It never sits around for long periods. We also added Vitamin E. Vitamin E is a fat soluble antioxidant, and just like antioxidants in your body, helps prevent the oil from going off, or oxidizing. Lester’s Oil not only contains vitamin E, but also Astaxanthin (possibly the most powerful antioxidant) Co-Q10, Lutein and Zeaxanthin…all up, huge amounts of antioxidants, helping to prevent the oil from turning rancid. Lester’s Oil is the exact same product we used in our successful human trial at a prestigious University in 2014 . We received measurable results at the normal daily dose in just four weeks, which is validation of both our formula and the quality of the product. We didn’t stop there…many people were concerned about Mercury levels in their fish oil so we lab test every batch, randomly, at a registered, independent New Zealand Lab. We test for Mercury (a dangerous heavy metal) as well as other heavy metals. To date we have had no problems with this. [coa chart here] This is why Lester’s Oil is different. We go well beyond what most companies do to ensure quality. Many companies sell 50+ supplements and at that level I don’t believe you can put in the degree of care that we do with Lester’s Oil. While we can’t control what other companies do, we can control our own quality and ensure that we make the best products we can. Let me point out that Lester’s Oil is a new generation Omega 3 based oil, vitamin and anti-oxidant complex. Each soft gel provides twice the omega-3’s or normal fish oil capsules, with the added benefits of vitamin D for bone health and immune support, C—enzyme Q10 for increased energy, heart health and neurological health, Lutein and Zeaxanthin for eye health, and Astaxanthin for eye, heart, skin, and neurological health, Lutein and Zeaxanthin for eye health. The latter four ingredients are also powerful anti-oxidants which help reduce oxidation of this product. We us pharmaceutical grade Omega 3 fatty acids, which is expensive, but this is the only type of oil that meets our stringent quality targets. Lester’s Oil uses 100% all natural ingredients and is a cutting edge formula with multiple benefits. Due to the number of additional benefits, we believe that everyone should be taking Lester’s Oil daily (2 capsules per day) to start bringing your body back into an Omega balance.
Fish Oil Alone Is Not Enough
You now understand that no standard fish oil will do the job. You must use a superior high quality multi ingredient product, that is formulated to reduce oxidation, ensuring you put the best supplements into your body, and get maximum results. If you are experiencing stiff and painful joints, lack of focus, declining memory, dry eyes, heart problems, these are signs that you have an Omega Imbalance. Many people experience chronic, low-grade inflammation for many years before it is identified as the problem – making this an especially dangerous threat to your health. When high-grade inflammation strikes, this can be debilitating, and can send you to a retirement home, put you in a wheel chair, and place a huge burden on family members. Not only that, the financial impact can be crippling. Increased medical bills, skyrocketing insurance premiums, time off work… I saw the dramatic downward spiral of my parent’s health….and want to help others to avoid the situation that I faced. So you’re probably wondering how you can get your hands on your very own supply of Lester’s Oil, high quality multi ingredient supplement. And if you go searching in your retail stores you will not find us there as we want to control the process and make sure from the moment you order, you are in our hands, where we ship the products directly to your door. We only produce a limited batch to ensure we turn over our products ship you the freshest products. Our production facility uses Good Manufacturing Processes (GMP), which is a system for ensuring that products are consistently produced and controlled according to quality standards. It is designed to minimize the risks involved in any pharmaceutical production that cannot be eliminated through testing the final product. This provides you with extra piece of mind that we only supply the highest quality products. We continue to receive testimonials literally every day about how people are having much happier and healthier lives, less pain, more freedom, continued independence.
No Time Limit Money Back Guarantee
With that in mind, we offer a ‘no time limit’ money back guarantee. At About Health, we stand behind everything we sell. In the unlikely event that you are unhappy with any of our products, we will happily refund your money in full, no questions asked. All we do ask is that you please return the product, whether unused and/or partially used, along with the receipt which accompanied your order.
