Lung cancer tumors which cause over 160,000 deaths in the United States each year can be positively treated by the addition of Omega3 fish oil supplements to the diet. Tumor size has been reduced and life expectancy increased by adding Omega3 supplements to the diet of lung cancer patients.

Omega3 supplements contain Omega3 fatty acids which are known to reduce inflammation in the body. These fatty acids are also known to benefit the immune systems of the body. They are thus effective in fighting disease and the effects of disease within the body.

Omega3 fatty acids are essential fatty acids. This means that they cannot be manufactured by the body but must be supplied by the diet. Typically they are contained in oily fish, certain nuts and grains. The types of fish include cold water fish such as salmon, sardine and mackerel. Nuts such as walnuts and grains such as flax contain these fatty acids.

Cold water fish in the wild produce fatty acids from the algae they eat which, is not normally present in fish farms where the environment in which the fish live is kept free of algae. This is important when considering which product to purchase.

At the University of Nevada a professor of biochemistry treated a cancer sufferer with large doses of Omega3 fish oil supplements and successfully reduced the cancerous tumor in the patients lungs. The patient who had been given months to live survived over five years and enjoyed a better quality of live.

Apart from the Omega3 supplements the patient also reduced his intake of foods containing Omega6 which are known to increase the effects of cancer.

When considering using fish oil supplements one should choose a product that is as pure and as concentrated as possible. Most products are produced by the process of micro distillation which concentrates the Omega3 fats within the oil and remove the contaminants which may be present.

Certain products are a blend of fish and grain oils and not pure fish oils.

Consult with you doctor or physician or at least make them aware that you are using these products so that any other medication is chosen to be complimentary and the effects of each are not compromised. Omega3 supplements are positively successful in the treatment of lung cancer and should be considered as a natural complimentary treatment with other medication.
