Bizarre “Sea Serpent” Captured on Video: in a world first, marine scientists working in the Gulf of Mexico filmed a Giant Oarfish in the wild written by Craig Weatherby, writer at Vital Choice Seafood

A team of researchers recently caught a rare, frightening, but oddly beautiful fish on video … for the first time (view it below). The Giant Oarfish captured on film was estimated to measure a jaw-dropping 16 to 32 feet in length.

The men in the photo at right are holding a dead Oarfish … one that may only be half the size of the one filmed in the Gulf, and just a third of the documented maximum. The biggest members of this bizarre species may be the biggest bony fish in the world. (Sharks have cartilage, not bone.)

It’s likely that some of the “sea serpent” sightings by sailors over the centuries stem from the size, dragon-like dorsal fin, bright red streamers, and sinuous, snake-like motions of the Giant Oarfish (Regalecus glesne).

Oarfish sightings and landings are infrequent, but happen regularly around the world … usually when one was dead or dying, at the surface or washed onshore.

How the “catch” happened

The video (above) was shot in the Gulf of Mexico by scientists from Louisiana State University and the UK’s National Oceanography Centre.

They were based on the world’s largest oil rig, called ThunderHorse, and using its remotely operated vehicle (ROV) when they saw the fish swimming – sometimes backwards – at a depth of more than 1,500 feet (457 meters).

Team leader Mark Benfield, Ph.D., offered this account:

“What was interesting about the fish was its swimming behavior. It moved by undulating its dorsal fin in waves that propelled it backwards at quite a good speed. The fish was really big … five to 10 meters [16 to 32 feet].”

How did we not know that the seas harbor a stunningly beautiful, scary-but-harmless “sea serpent”? Now that we do, we’re glad it exists!

Saving the ocean’s amazing creatures – many still undiscovered – is another good reason to keep greenhouse gasses, trash, and chemical pollution from killing the seas.

And saving the ocean and its food chain is essential to the health, welfare, and very survival of countless people.

What!? Are we now supposed to eat Giant Oarfish for good health???

No… [smiling] it’s just a fascinating news story I wanted to share. That’s something for our brains and hearts in another way.

The fish that are really good for are health (high in omega 3s) can be found at my favorite source for wild seafood, Vital Choice… and an essential oil enhanced supplement called Omega Blue (fact sheet) from Young Living Essential Oils.

Omega 3s in the Brain and Their Link to Zinc, Alzheimer’s and Dementia

February 12, 2010 in Alternative Therapies, Anti-Aging, DHEA, Education, Family Health, Fish Oil, How do I use, Lifestyle, Longevity, Men's Health, Natural Health, News, Nutrition / Diet, Omega 3, Science, Supplements / Vitamins, Wellness, Women's Health by Evelyn Vincent | No comments

Is that old saying still around? “Fish is brain food.” I recall hearing it when I was little and thought it was cool, at the time I never associated with brain function as we age though, I simply thought that eating fish would make us smarter, apparently it does much more than that!

Well, it turns out that the types of fish high in omega 3s are good for our aging brains and have been linked to reduced rates in Alzheimer’s disease and certain forms of dementia. Even though more studies need to be performed and longer in duration, it’s still nice to know that there are many beneficial effects from fish and omega 3s.

In a study at Quebec’s Laval University the team paid particular attention to DHA: the omega-3 that constitutes a large proportion of the fatty acids in brain cell membranes and is essential to proper brain function.

Along with EPA, brainy DHA is one of the two key omega-3s in human cells, with fish and fish oil being the only substantial food sources.

The Canadians wrote, experimental studies show that rodents bred to develop Alzheimer’s-like conditions easily are more likely to do so when their bodies are deficient in DHA.

Likewise, most lab studies show when rodents are fed more DHA they acquire fewer, milder signs and symptoms of Alzheimer’s, and get them more slowly. And, people who report eating diets high in DHA – from fish and/or fish oil – are less likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of senility (Calon F, Cole G 2007).

The Quebecois cited these facts in explaining their conclusion: “… the knowledge gathered in recent years holds out a hope for prevention and suggests that the elderly and people bearing a genetic risk for Alzheimer’s disease should at least avoid DHA deficiency.” (Calon F, Cole G)

Results of the few, mostly small and short-term clinical studies done to date do not show that fish or supplemental omega-3s improve behavior or test scores in Alzheimer’s or ARCD patients, once senility progresses past its earlier, milder stages.

The Canadians’ encouraging words echo ones from a Swedish team’s 2006 report on a clinical trial that showed reduced agitation among some Alzheimer’s patients who took omega-3 fish oil:

“Combined data from … epidemiologic [population-and-diet] studies point to preventive effects from long-term fish intake. Those results and the results from the present study support the idea that omega-3 fatty acids have a role in primary prevention of Alzheimer’s disease …” (Freund-Levi Y et al. 2006)

Australian scientists discovered at least one possible reason for omega 3s protective powers. Researchers at Melbourne’s Deakin University found that DHA – one of the two key omega-3s in fish fat – regulates the levels of zinc in brain cells (Suphioglu C et al. 2010).

Margaret Ackland, Ph.D., leads a group that studies the function of trace metals in human health, and identifies “molecular transporters” that control the movement of zinc and copper into and out of cells.

Professor Ackland and her colleagues set out to study the relationship – if any – between omega-3 DHA and zinc in the neurons (nerve cells) responsible for transmitting signals in the brain.

Ackland, told the Australian Associated Press, “We found that when the level of DHA in neuronal cells drops, the level of zinc rises. The higher levels of zinc can be toxic, resulting in cell death … a key feature of … Alzheimer’s.” (Rose D 2010)

She went on to make a key observation: “We believe that having omega-3 fatty acids in the diet helps keep the levels of zinc in the brain in balance and helps prevent the increase in levels that triggers cell death.” (Rose D 2010)

Science has known for some time that DHA is essential for healthy brain function, but they didn’t know, until Professor Auckland’s study strongly demonstrated that there was a link to zinc.

Auckland stated, “To the best of our knowledge this is the first time a direct link has been demonstrated between the levels of DHA and zinc in the brain’s neuronal cells. Our work provides insights into how fatty acid nutrition may prevent the development of Alzheimer’s …” (Rose D 2010)

Omega 3 Fish Oil Rival Antidepressants in Study

October 27, 2009 in Buy / Purchase, Depression, Family Health, Fish Oil, Heart Health, Lifestyle, Longevity, Men's Health, Natural Health, Nutrition / Diet, Omega 3, Science, Shop, Supplements / Vitamins, Women's Health by Evelyn Vincent | No comments

How many readers here would prefer to prevent depression and the use of antidepressant drugs if they knew  how? There are so many all-natural things we can do that to list them all here would make this an incrediblity long article. So for the time being I’ll cover just a few and a study on omega 3 fish oil, that can easily be incorporated into a healthier lifestyle.

Down in the dumps… practicing these 4 easy steps will make a huge difference…

  1. Get out into the sunshine without sunscreen or sunblock. Do so mindfully, starting out with exposure of 10 to 15 minutes at a time, and slowly build up from there. The natural vitamin D that is FREE from the sun boasts benefits, not fears, one such benefit is prevention of cancer and other common diseases. The vitamin D we get from sun exposure is different than a vitamin D supplement.
  2. Start an organic garden. Aside from sun exposure it has also been shown that having an organic garden is extremely healthy for the body and mind. As a former organic Landscape Designer I can tell you that a garden need not be complicated or expensive, nor does it require any items or products other than seeds, plants, rake, shovel, and a good air a garden clippers. As I write more articles on gardening smart I’ll add links here.
  3. Eat Locally grown produce! This alone is an awesome experience. You’re eating more seasonal foods, fresh foods, and you meet local farmers and make new friends in your community.  omega-blue-supplement-fish-oil
  4. Add Omega 3s to your diet. In the form of a high quality Omega 3 supplement, like Young Living’s Omega Blue, and in the form of healthier types of fresh fish (not those frozen battered and boxed things, those are low quality and don’t have much in the way of nutrition). Fresh fish will NOT have a fishy odor and will not stink up your house when you cook it; if that’s been your experience then you know the fish you’ve been buying is old and on it’s way to going bad. This is where I’ve bought all of my fish for the past 5 years. And of course, I get my fish oil, Omega Blue, from Young Living. Omega Blue has therapeuitc-grade essential oils added which acts as a natural preservative and creates a synergistic affect, they’re very good.

Now for the study on Omega 3s and depression. This is an excellent article from my friends at Vital Choice Seafood – they have the absolute best seafood I’ve ever found, I have it shipped in to NC, that’s how good it is.  salmon-fish-cooking-food-omega3

Fish Oil Rivals Antidepressants in Clinical Trial by Craig Weatherby

Clinical findings affirm earlier indications and further justify strong omega-3 support from the American Psychiatric Association

The results of the largest-ever clinical trial found that omega-3 fish oil may significantly benefit half of all people diagnosed with depression.

Specifically, fish oil seemed to help the 50 percent of depression patients who are free from diagnosed anxiety disorders.

Fish oil appeared to help these people about as much as the leading class of antidepressant drugs … that is, selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SSRIs) such as Prozac and Paxil.

Participants for the trial were people diagnosed with moderate to severe unipolar (i.e., not bipolar) major depression who were unable to tolerate antidepressants, who refused them despite a physician’s recommendation, or who were not helped by the drugs.

More than 430 patients with an episode of major depression were assigned to take either with omega-3 EPA from fish oil (1,050mg per day) for two months or an identical-looking placebo pill masked with fish odor.

Fish oil did not perform better than placebo, for the patients diagnosed with anxiety as well as depression. [Here's a study on using essential oils of orange and lavender that has shown to help anxiety].

More than 430 patients with an episode of major depression were assigned to take either with omega-3 EPA from fish oil (1,050mg per day) for two months or an identical-looking placebo pill masked with fish odor.

Omega-3 EPA from fish oil did not perform better than placebo among the patients diagnosed with anxiety as well as depression.

But among those diagnosed with major depression ─ but not anxiety ─ the patients who took omega-3 EPA had significantly better scores than the placebo group.

As lead author Francois Lesperance, M.D., told Medscape Psychiatry. “… the level of improvement we saw in this subgroup is on a par with what has typically been reported with pharmacologic treatments.” (Stein J 2009)

Findings apply to the half of all depression patients not usually studied

These findings are important because they carry implications for about one-half of all depressed patients … those who do not also display anxiety disorders.

And these people are often excluded from placebo-controlled studies of antidepressant drugs.

Dr. Lesperance made a key point: ”Many depressed patients prefer to avoid drug treatment because of the stigma associated with such therapy, not to mention potential treatment-related side effects, and thus it’s nice to be able to offer patients an alternative treatment that is similarly effective but without the risks.” (Stein J 2009)

Most population studies show links between higher levels of omega-3’s and reduced depression risk, and/or link low levels of omega-3’s ─ or an excess of omega-6’s versus omega-3’s ─ to higher levels of depression.

Besides supporting normal mood, research shows that omega-3’s ─ and higher than average omega-3/omega-6 intake ratios ─ likely benefit cardiovascular, brain, bone, and metabolic health.

Anti-depressants are they really helping?

October 6, 2009 in Alternative Therapies, Antioxidant, Depression, Energy Drink, Essential Oil Supplements, Fish Oil, Immune System, Natural Health, NingXia Red Juice, Nutrition / Diet, Relaxation by Jonell Elder | No comments

stress-man-peopleMost everyone has experienced depression in their lives and sadly there are many that battle with depression daily.  Often anti-depressants are prescribed by our doctors.  They certainly may help, but then one has to worry about the side effects from the medication they are taking.  People sometimes are unable to control their depression on their own and need help their entire lives.  It is so very important to get help for depression. Depression is not what anyone wants to have and when our loved ones are suffering from depression, we feel so bad for them and helpless as to what to do to help.

If someone is able to recognize that they have depression they should try to make some lifestyle changes and give alternative therapies a try before beginning to take a drug that may further hinder their health.  There are so many causes for depression, and trying to figure out the cause can be difficult to discern.  Sometimes seeking counseling is beneficial.  Meeting with a Naturopathic doctor, who may help one to find out that certain foods are not working for them and could be causing unwanted physical and mental problems. These therapies may help one to be able to stay away from anti-depressants, that truly aren’t the cure, yet are really only a band-aide covering up the root of the problem.

To heal our brain we need to fix our body first.

Optimizing nutrition is very important. Now a days a deficiency in Omega 3 fish oil is seen in many, and should be addressed. Lacking in this oil can cause depression, scaly skin and even brittle nails. One excellent source of Omega 3 is with Young Livings Omega Blue.

Omega BlueTM is a clinically proven dose of omega-3 (EPA, DHA) fatty acid nutrients. Critical for heart, eye, brain, and joint health, Young Living’s® Omega BlueTM pure fish oil is free of heavy metals, PCBs, and dioxins, and offers the benefits of our Omega EnhanceTM essential oil blend to ensure freshness and stability. Omega Enhance combines legendary blue chamomile and myrrh oils to support a healthy inflammatory response, lemongrass oil to provide cardiovascular protection and support healthy cholesterol levels, and clove and myrrh for added antioxidant support.*

No matter how health conscious anyone is, there is virtually no way to get away from the air we breath, some of the foods we may eat, the chemicals we are breathing in without knowing it, the clothes we wear, mercury, the parks we walk in, etc.  These are some of the reasons why we need to supplement our diets with nutrients and vitamins.

Antioxidants and boosting our immune system is a daily must. Young Living has two products to help and they are NingXia Red and Longevity softgels.

  • NingXia Red® is a naturally delicious, nutrient-infused wolfberry drink that will energize, fortify, and replenish your body. Rich in wide-spectrum antioxidant activity, NingXia Red has the highest levels of naturally occurring, age-defying S-ORAC activity to help support immune function, cardiovascular health, and nourish the eyes. NingXia Red also contains lemon and orange essential oils rich in the powerful antioxidant d-limonene to promote healthy liver function. Ningxia wolfberry, the primary ingredient in NingXia Red, has been cherished for centuries for its health, energy, and longevity benefits. Whole Ningxia wolfberries and other nutrient-dense fruit juices, like blueberry and pomegranate, make NingXia Red the perfect choice for optimizing wellness and stepping up to a whole new level of health.*
  • The NingXia Red Promise NingXia Red combines the finest NingXia wolfberries, proprietary “Nutrient-Guard” preparation, and other all-natural, nutrient-dense ingredients to provide:
    • Dynamic energy and stamina without harmful stimulants (e.g., caffeine, green tea, etc.)*
    • Key glyconutrients that fuel vital energy systems.*
    • Unique protein-polysaccharides that help sustain proper immune function.*
    • Highest levels of naturally occurring, age defying S-ORAC activity.*
    • Great taste with no sugary “junk-juices” (e.g., apple, white grape, pear, etc.)

    Essential nutrients in NingXia Red also help support the following: Normal cardiovascular function, normal eye health, normal cell growth, and healthy liver function*

  • LongevityTM softgels are a potent, proprietary blend of fat-soluble antioxidants. Longevity blend should be taken daily to strengthen the body’s systems to prevent the damaging effects of aging, diet, and the environment.  Enriched with the pure essential oils thyme, orange, and now frankincense, Longevity protects DHA levels, a nutrient that supports brain function and cardiovascular health, promotes healthy cell regeneration, and supports liver and immune function.  Longevity also contains clove oil, nature’s strongest antioxidant, for ultra antioxidant support.*

Cholesterol Got You Worried?

September 27, 2009 in Alternative Therapies, Antioxidant, Blends, Energy Drink, Fish Oil, Immune System, Longevity, Natural Health, NingXia Red Juice by Jonell Elder | No comments

Some people have high cholesterol even when they have always been fit and eat right. But yet their cholesterol is high and needs help to be lowered, so they go on medication because they think there are no other choices.  Other people are not doing the right things to be healthy, like being overweight, not on a regular exercise program and they stay on that mode of existence.  Until their cholesterol is out of control, then they get worried and know they need to do something.  Most doctors give you a few months to get it under control, by changing your diet and getting exercise into you life.  If the results aren’t favorable, on to pharmaceutical medication they go.

I fall into the second group.  I got lazy in regards to exercise and eating right, and yet I am very busy in other areas of my life.  Hello, time to prioritize and get it together and take care of myself.  No one else can do that for me.  Well actually if I was wealthy, I would have a cook and a personal trainer.  Hmmm, I’m thinking that day will come.  But in the meantime, my doctor said change your ways girlfriend or you will need to go on cholesterol medication.  Ha, I know I don’t want that.

So in the 3 month period before my follow up blood test, I did several things.ningxia-red-plate

  1. Corrected my diet to be more cholesterol friendly.
  2. Exercise 4-5 times a week
  3. Drink 2 ounces of NingXia Red daily. (Super anti-oxidant, energy drink)
  4. Apply AromaLife essential oil blend every morning.

I went back to have the blood test, and my cholesterol levels had improved, but still need to improve more.  So now I have another 3 months to keep on doing what I am doing.

I also am adding to my regime:

  1. LongevityTM softgels, a potent, proprietary blend of fat-soluble antioxidants. Longevity blend should be taken daily to strengthen the body’s systems to prevent the damaging effects of aging, diet, and the environment.* Enriched with the pure essential oils thyme, orange, and now frankincense, Longevity protects DHA levels, a nutrient that supports brain function and cardiovascular health, promotes healthy cell regeneration, and supports liver and immune function.* Longevity also contains clove oil, nature’s strongest antioxidant, for ultra antioxidant support. Total Fat: 0 g per serving
  2. MultiGreensTM , a nutritious chlorophyll formula designed to boost vitality by working with the glandular, nervous, and circulatory systems.* MultiGreens is made with spirulina, alfalfa sprouts, barley grass, bee pollen, eleuthero, Pacific kelp, and therapeutic-grade essential oils.
  3. Omega BlueTM , a clinically proven dose of omega-3 (EPA, DHA) fatty acid nutrients. Critical for heart, eye, brain, and joint health, Young Living’s® Omega BlueTM pure fish oil is free of heavy metals, PCBs, and dioxins, and offers the benefits of our Omega EnhanceTM essential oil blend to ensure freshness and stability. Omega Enhance combines legendary blue chamomile and myrrh oils to support a healthy inflammatory response, lemongrass oil to provide cardiovascular protection and support healthy cholesterol levels, and clove and myrrh for added antioxidant support.*
  4. Vitamin D

I’m looking forward to hearing the next results and I will let you know the good results.  I know not to mess around with my health any longer!! To good health for everyone.

When I am meeting with or talking to people about Young Living Essential Oils, what I like to express to them is the importance of switching to a healthier lifestyle and how to make this transition in their lives. What I point out to them is how many of us read the “ingredients” on food products, which is a good thing to do, but that many people do not think about doing the same thing before they purchase personal care products, nutritional products, pet care products or household cleaning products.  All of which can be loaded with chemicals and toxins and not what we should be putting on or in our bodies.lavender-signature-series-products
