Live healthy and long

Repost from Newsmax health | August 2, 2013

Fish oil containing found in salmon and trout are effective in combatting squamous cancer cells found in mouth, throat, and skin.  This was the finding in Queen Mary Hospital  in London.  Dr. Zacharoula Nikolakopolou, MD made this discovery while studying at the said hospital.   Large therapeutic doses are needed to treat cancer and the body does not have the means to sythesize Omega 3 fatty acid.  Supplements from diet and nutrition are needed.

Kenneth Parkinson head of Oral Cancer Research Group at Queen Mary's Institute of Dentistry, that omega 3 fatty acid in therapeutic dose selectively targetted the cancer cells without affecting the normal cells (which is not possible with other cancer treatment)

Little research has been done on oral cancer or action of omega 3 on normal cells
