This afternoon reading is on the effects of EFA's (essential fatty acids) or Fish Oil. This is from LifeWest-When we consume a high fat, high sugar, high carbohydrate meal with few omega-3s and large amounts of omega-6s, the blood and cell membranes are swarmed with detrimental omega-6 fatty acids.

COX enzymes are used inside the cell membrane to convert the good omega-3 EPA/DHA into anti-inflammatories. Those COX enzymes are stolen by the harmful omega-6 fatty acids for their own use, converted into PRO-inflammatories, and not enough are left for use by the omega-3s.

Hence, the result is an imbalance of the fatty acids, with a surplus of the pro-inflammatory omega-6s; painful or achy joints included.

In 2012, a systematic review was conducted exploring the effects of marine n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, or in other words, omega-3s, on immune functions for their effects and clinical outcomes on rheumatoid arthritis.

In conclusion, the study indicated that the types of omega-3s found in seafood and fish oil may be modestly helpful in alleviating some of the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (Miles, 2012).

Researchers also noted that many of the participants explained that when taking the fish oil, their morning stiffness was brief, and less joint swelling in pain, which in turn lowered their need for anti-inflammatory drugs to control their symptoms (Miles, 2012).

We wipe down the treating table, chair you sat in, my desk/table, all equipment, doors, handles, front desk everything you could have contact with between all clients, whew. It is a chore and we will do everything possible to keep our clinic space germ free. Stay home and if you need us we are here for you.

Due to Coronavirus concerns we are implementing the following procedures.
1. Appointments will be scheduled in alternate time slots so that only one patient is likely to be in the office at any given time.
2. Hard surfaces, door k***s, etc. will be wiped down frequently to disinfect them.
3. If anyone working in the office gets symptoms, we will cancel all appointments and stay home.
4. We will adhere to all behaviors required for social distancing.
5. Please be aware that Chiropractic adjustments requires a certain amount of touching patients. Dr. Wallace will be careful to keep his hands and instruments sterilized.

It's November already? What happened to my summer?
Seriously though temperature's are dropping, days are shorter and cloudy skies with rain are here. Time to start taking your Vitamin D, our family takes 5,000 mg a day to stave off the winter's cold and flu season.
Wishing every one a healthy fall season and call us if you have a problem.
