@BarbJHughesChannel, Well said! 🌟 You are so right, we service everything we own but fail to service our own bodies! Thanks for sharing your support for *Udo's Choice 3•6•9 Oil Blend*.

It truly is a choice, we can choose how we want to nourish our bodies. Thanks for the positive vibes. 💛

Thank you for your comments. I love free speech, no matter how informed or uninformed it might be and no matter whether I agree or disagree. Free speech may just be the beginning of conversation that might lead to learning. That can only be a good thing. It is always better to know than not to know. Required for making informed choices. I don't think of telling it like it is as fear-mongering. It is easy to criticize. Not nearly as easy to bust my butt to correct the damage and offer a better, because healthier, alternative. I was broke for about 15 years (including moved in with my mother for 4 years) to put this alternative together, based on what I was learning from reading the research journal articles on the results of experiments done with oils by the industry and the researchers employed by it. The damage done to oils by industry processing came out of the Journal 'Lipids', which was an instrument of the American Oil Chemists Society (AOCS). The number of damaged oil in a tablespoon is 60 quintillion if it is 1% damaged. More than a million damaged molecules for every one of the body's 60 trillion cells. That's a lot. Cells are very sensitive to their environment. They have to adapt to changing environments to protect health and homeostasis. Only a few hundred molecules are needed to change gene expression up or down. And, by the say, I want ALL (100%) of my almonds to be free toxins that can give me food poisoning. You know why? Because I can. I no longer play Russian Roulette with my health (I used to when I was young, stupid, and full of my own testosterone. That's how I got poisoned, and that led to my effort that began an industry of making oils with health in mind). if someone else had done that, I would also be promoting THEIR oil. At this point, no one else is doing it. For weight, a lot of people still think that eating fat will make them fat. Not true, especially for omega-3 (I call them the fat-burning fire-starter), which turns OFF the fat-making gene (fatty acid synthase) and turns ON the fat-burning genes (about 7-14 genes, depending which ones you include; the research literature is not completely clear). But carbs can over-ride omega-3, so to lose weight, you INCREASE intake of undamaged oils with emphasis on omega-3 AND at the same time, you LOWER intake of carbs. A fuel shift, not a fuel addition. Carbs are still the main reason for over-weight as body fat, because any carbs you eat but don't burn for energy needs MUST be converted into fat for storage (in case there is a famine and you can then live of your fat). Carbs ensure this by turning off the fat burning genes and turning on the fat production gene. You can also get overweight from inflammation, which leads to water retention. Omega-3 help in both case of overweight. They turn on fat burning. And they have powerful anti-inflammatory benefits. We did a study in Denmark with both strength and endurance athletes. When they took 1 Tablespoon per 50 pounds of body weight of the oil blend, mixed in foods and intake spread out over the course of the day, their performance when they did their sport to exhaustion increased on average by 40-60% within 30 days. We kept them on this protocol for 6 weeks. Then we took them off the oils and watched their performance decline. We kept them off the oil for 6 weeks. Then we put them back on and watched their performance go back up. We wanted to do another washout and another 6 weeks on the oil blend, but they bolted, because they liked the results so much that they were unwilling to forego the oil. I hope that this reply is food for thought. You can try it and observe the results you or your clients get. Your industry is filled with people looking for results. Either you get them or you don't. One more thing: Your view on oils and weight appears to come from courses you took to obtain your credentials (I'm guessing). Those views and courses might need to be updated. The word in the village these days is that seed oils and omega-6 oils are toxic and should be avoided. I disagree with those who say that, and none of them have ever had a conversation with me, even though I am the originator of flax seed oil (1986), the author of a comprehensive book (FATS THAT HEAL FATS THAT KILL, 1993), and the developer of a method for making sensitive omega-3 and omega-6 oils with health in mind. Those detractors of seed oils and omega-6 oils are blaming the oils for problems that should be blamed on the damage done to these oils by industry and in our kitchens by frying. The key important point is this: In the world of nutritional fats and oils, the priority for health must be on the 2 essential fatty acids that the body can't make but must have for life and for health. They should be from organically grown seeds (no pesticides), undamaged (made under protection from light, oxygen, and high heat), in the right ratio to one another (because they compete for enzymes space and to much of one can crowd out the other, and vice versa), in glass (oils swell plastic and plastic then leaches into oils faster than into water), and in the right amount (ballpark optimum is 1Tbsp/50 pounds of body weight/day, mixed in foods). More health problems come from damaged oils than from any other part of nutrition. More health benefits come from the oil change that the body needs than any other part of nutrition. I've been pioneering this topic for more than 40 years. Warm regards to you! Udo🙏💖🙏

@LineLegacyLife Thanks for the reply! I do admire your dedication to this field. When I'm talking about the 1% vs 99% "damaged" molecules it's just a calculation of risk for me and what my strength of certainty is if making a recommendation to anyone. In order for me to recommend this very specific oil, I would need to see very convincing empirical evidence from a well powered, tightly controlled human trial comparing this oil to another flaxseed oil, another vegetable oil like canola, and placebo then measuring primary outcomes like systemic inflammatory markers like CRP, IL-6, TNF-a, etc, with bonus points for also having observed clinical outcomes like further improvement in insulin sensitivity or further reduced risk of heart disease to sway my position on the benefits of the specific oil outweighing the cost. That's a very high bar certainly but I'm just being honest. I do already use flaxseed oil that is manufactured in a cGMP compliant facility so my current position is that the 1% is not worth the additional cost as the health benefits are very likely already nearly maximized. I trust the human body can manage the molecules without issue as no such issue has been born out in the research to indicate any type of harm to health. 1 tablespoon/50lbs of bodyweight seems like a ton of oil. I would be consuming nearly 500 calories from oil were into follow that. I see no reason to do that based on the evidence given consumption of whole foods containing unsaturated fats will be more satieting and likely less costly. If a bottle of oil has 30 servings of go through that in just over 1 week which is not at all worthwhile based on the evidence in familiar with. I'm quite pro-oil though based on the evidence, especially when oil is replacing saturated fat in the diet. I do not hold the position that linoleic acid is inherently bad for human beings. Quite the opposite. Various tissue levels biomarker meta-analyses have been done by the FORCE consortium showing more linoleic acid in tissues is generally beneficial and at worst neutral to health. I also do not hold the position that eating fat makes one fat so long as calories are controlled. Eating excess calories beyond their energy requirements for prolonged periods of time leads to fat gain, it's thermodynamics. Higher fat diets like the Mediterranean style dietary pattern is very health promoting. Eating more carbs does not lead to fat gain either as the carbohydrate-insulin model of obesity like to posit. This has been thoroughly researched and a 2017 meta-analysis by Hall and Guo of metabolic ward feeding trials showcased this. Often weight loss with lower carb diets with energy accounted for comes down to water loss if carbs are reduced low enough. Traditional ketogenic style diets that are high protein promote satiety through protein and allow people to lose weight, it's not breaking the laws of thermodynamics. I appreciate the time taken for you to write your reply. If you have references to primary literature I'm happy to look at them. At present, I don't hold the position that the evidence is strong enough to warrant not cooking with other oils in place of saturated fat rich sources of food because of 1% the container molecules are potentially "damaged". Wishing you the best Udo!

@@Parker_Miller_M.S. A few more things. I developed flax seed oil in 1986. I became omega-6 deficient when I used flax seed oil as my only source of fat in the diet. Flax seed oil contains about 4 times more omega-3 than omega-6. Unbalanced. Most other oils are unbalanced the other way, in favor of omega-6, which can crowd out omega-3 and make a person functionally deficient in omega-3 (meaning you have omega-3 in the diet but they cannot compete for enzyme space by the vast preponderance of omega-6). The same enzymes convert both EFAs; hence the competition between them based on the ratio of one to the other. . Omega-3 is a 'warming' oil, as opposed to tropical oils/fats, which are 'cooling' oils. Omega-3 is 'warming' because it increases oxidation rate, metabolic rate, energy production, and thermogenesis. That is also why it is so good for athletic performance when it is not damaged. And why, being more abundant in polar regions, it helps to keep you warm in winter. Tropical oils are cooling, slow down metabolic rate and energy levels, which is what you want in hot tropical climates. But not as effective for athletic performance. You can find much of what I say in PubMed/Medline if you use key words in a search. But not everything. We are not affiliated with a university. I took biochemistry and genetics at university, took all the courses, did the research, and left just short of writing up the thesis and doing the thesis defense. All our work has been in the real world, about 40 countries, with thousands of customers, doing surveys, encouraging feedback, and practical experience with ratios, and optimum amounts (dry skin is a sign that you need more omega-balanced oil, because both EFAs together form a barrier in the skin against the loss of moisture), BUT, skin gets oils last and loses them first because you can live with dry skin but not with a dry liver, heart, or brain. Nature's makes sure inner organs get it before skin. Skin only gets enough when the rest of the body has what it needs. So we can measure optimum intake by how skin feels. That's where the 1Tbsp/50 pounds/day comes from. Fast metabolizers might need a bit more. Slower metabolizers need less. In summer you need less than in winter because more of it is burned for warmth in winter. About 60-80% or EFAs given as triglycerides is metabolized for energy. The rest is converted into derivatives, eicosanoids, and powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory molecules. Finally, it is difficult to get optimum oil intake from seeds and nuts. I tried it. Couldn't do it. Some people might be able to, but not me, so I eat seeds and nuts, but oil as well to make optimum intake happen. I hope some of this is helpful to you. Thank you for your openness. Be well! 💥 Udo

@@LineLegacyLife I do understand that omega 3 ALA conversion to EPA and DHA is rather inefficient but nonetheless is still likely adequate to meet EPA and DHA needs when ALA is present in high enough amounts like with flaxseed oil. Just as an example, if a table spoon of flaxseed oil has about 7 grams of ALA (7000mg) and if the conversion rate to EPA is even 10% that's 700mg of EPA which is quite good, 5% would be 350mg EPA, still pretty good. A 2005 review by Burge and Calder published in the journal "Reprod Nutr Dev" reported conversion of ALA to EPA as high as 8% while DHA was admittedly a bit less, as high as 4% when using stable isotopes to see conversion rate (table 4 of the paper). Going to need some citations to empirical data showing a meaningful increase in metabolic rate and objectively measured body heat in cold climate following the claim of Omega 3 being a "warming oil". Likewise a citation for the claim that tropical oils slow metabolism would be very much appreciated. Biochemistry is great, but when it comes to outcomes (like those mentioned above) we need data in people. If you can provide citations for the above claims I'd appreciate it. Looking forward to seeing the studies you provide for the above claims! Thanks for the continued correspondence.

@LineLegacyLife, Udo thank you so much for providing additional information for @Parker_Miller_M.S. You are truly inspiring and have dedicated your life's work to provide products and resources with "Health in Mind." 💛 Thank you!

@yvonnebasson8652, Perhaps that could be true or most doctors are overwhelmed because they have so many patients with all kinds of issue, that they rely too much on the lab guidelines to alert them as to when a problem really exist. I think when a person's lab results fall out of the norm, a doctor is researching a solution or they are sending that patient off to another doctor whose more qualified to address the issue. Thank you so much for watching the video and posting a comment. 😊

@emposiblethegamer639, I agree, Lynne's message is not just for women, it's for anyone who has that book inside them that they want to share with the world. We need to allow ourselves to get the messy first draft out on paper/computer and when we are done, that's when we can begin to edit it and fine tune it to share it with the world. Thanks for sharing your insights! 👍🏼

@angeronalove5799, *Well said*, and I'm so sorry to hear you, too, have had hair challenges. I feel very confident that we can all get through this challenge together! 🙂 You know, this experience has changed the way I view my lab results. I used to just be content with being within *the normal range* and not really paying attention to where within *the normal range* I was at. This is why I'm encouraging everyone to take control of YOUR health and don't let your doctors tell you, "There's nothing wrong; everything *' is normal'"*! Thank you for your support and sharing that you, too, have had hair challenges. ❤️

@judithlewis3264, I'm so sorry to hear about your hair loss/shedding and know exactly how you feel. It's really sad that when we try to do something to feel like we did before, there's that risk of losing our hair. 😟 I have read that even though you are not receiving testosterone, the risk of hair loss/shedding still exist due to hormonal imbalances and that it's temporary. So the good news is once your hormones are balanced and stable, these symptoms should ease. Hang in there, I know we will get through this together. ❤️

@jhurbon12, I'm so sorry to hear about your experience. I think many providers either do not clearly understand how testosterone converts over to DHT and causes hair loss in women and men 😢or they clearly know what it does but do not want to share this information with us. 😫 I will share, since I started using my iRestored redlight cap (every other night), hair topical (nightly), washing my hair every other night, 65mg Iron, and taking saw palmetto daily; I am noticing my hair shedding has slowed down quite a bit. I know it's early, but I am starting to notice a difference. I am still taking Nutrafol daily and have been taking it for 7 months now. Everything I've read and researched so far says growing your hair back is a very slow process, like 6 - 12 months. Too bad it didn't take that long to lose the large clumps I've lost!

I know I would have never considered my low normal levels to be a problem, but everything I've read confirms this is a problem.

@annemariesmith5459, thanks for sharing that tip. I've never heard of MSM for hair growth but I did notice that it's used as an anti-inflammatory for joint pain. How long did it take you to start seeing results from taking MSM if you are taking it?

@Di-hz2dz, I agree wig's are a great option. Although I really want to fight to regain my hair growth and it it does not work, I will consider a wig. Thanks for the friendly reminder. Have you ever tried a wig and if so, do you mind sharing your experience? Thank for the GREAT suggestion. ❤️

@reginagriffiths9571, I've never hear of this book. I'm a research nerd and love reading books. I will have to put Dr. Garry Donovitz's book on my must read book! Its sounds like a great resource. Thanks for your recommendation. We women need to pool together to share everything we learn in this journey. I really appreciate you sharing. Has this book helped you and if so, please share how this book had made a difference?

@reginagriffiths9571, I know Finasteride, not only made it difficult for me to swallow and breathe but it also made me gain weight very quickly and I became very depressed. I'm still dealing with the depression but I feel confident that it too shall pass. I too had libido issue. It's really sad that if we want to regain our hair which is one thing, we inherit more side effects that Finasteride, consider rare side effects. 😫 I'm so sorry that your front hair line is thinning due to thyroid 😢. I'm have you tried a compound hair topical and Saw Palmtto. Has your doctor checked your Finasteride levels? My recent research states we women should strive to increase our levels to 70 -110 and consume enough protein daily. I've read that most sites recommend 46-56 grams although, I stive to consume 90 - 110 grams daily. But I'm not sure protein and hypothyroidism work.

@thedevilandhertrumpets4268, Thank you so much for the support and compliment. I am working so hard to get answers that work and share them with everyone willing to hear my findings. Hair loss for women is such a complex issue because there are so many factors, but I'm willing to try to find answers. Thanks again for subscribing. ❤️

@Perez-bt8yk, thanks for the positive feedback ❣️

That's awesome! It's great to hear that you and your girlfriend are on a similar journey. Sharing experiences can really help each other out! Thanks for the encouraging words!

I couldn't agree with you more. Sadly, I discovered that the side effects I went through were a result of receiving too much testosterone. When I schedule my next round, I will make it clear to my provider that she needs to reduce my testosterone significantly, or I will not move forward with treatment. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much! Your support means the world to me!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, @CrazyRabbit719. I'm truly sorry to hear about the severity of your migraines and the added complications you face with seizures and the cysts on your brain. It sounds incredibly overwhelming, especially having to go through hospital visits, painkiller steroids, and IV treatments to manage the pain. I completely understand how debilitating migraines can be-I've tried so many different treatments myself, from nerve blockers and Botox to more invasive procedures, in an effort to find relief. It's a tough journey, but please know you're not alone in this. I really appreciate you being open about your struggles. If you're comfortable sharing, I'd love to hear more about what treatments or methods have worked best for you, or even what hasn't worked, in managing both the migraines and the pressure concerns. Sometimes, just knowing we're in this together and having a space to share can make a huge difference. Sending you strength and wishing you the best on your path to finding relief and comfort. 💜

@@createthebestme Well, they treated me with sumatriptan but that was after they tried seven different migraine medication’s. Sumatriptan ended up being the only one things I blocked the pain because it helped me sleep through it and I took it for many years. Come to find out the doctors gave it to me or also the same doctors you told me this medication was contributing to my migraines because once I took it, give me another so they took me off of that like a month ago. Put me on Cipa hoping that’s gonna work about the next two months if that doesn’t work and I still have the ring pressure which would be my chronic migraine side going away then I have to get a spinal tap unfortunately just make sure there is no pressure in my brain. So I’m not allowed to take any migraine medication at this time just Tylenol, which is actually painful because they gave me back medication for my migraines. And my migraines being my migraines it’s a very bad situation right now. Because I preferred to go back to the hospital to do this. Because frankly, I really don’t want to spinal tap for the holidays. I also have to go through special therapy to help with insomnia. Because I’ve been asleep stay with them and I’ve gone through every medication they give me for insomnia nothings worked. They’ve come out and just said “it’s me”which is probably not the best medical term. The ISN the most amusing device they give me because they know I smoke marijuana for my pain due to the fact of my incurable disease I have on top of that is to smoke a little bit of that before you go to bed. The problem is they also don’t realize I don’t get to bed till 5 o’clock in the morning but they’re very cautious about what medication they won’t put me on due to the large amount of medication’s I am taking already. So at this point, we’re doing trial and error. Which is very similar to what my GIs are doing too with my pain so it’s about the same thing that’s been going on for years right now. I am grinning and bearing pain.

Thank you for sharing your story, @CrazyRabbit719. I'm really sorry to hear how tough things have been for you, and I can imagine how exhausting it must be to go through so many treatments without finding lasting relief. It sounds like you've been through a lot, from trying different medications to dealing with the possibility of a spinal tap, all while managing insomnia and other health challenges. I know it's not easy, especially when it feels like you're just stuck in a cycle of trial and error. I’ve had my own long journey with chronic migraines-over 20 years now-and it’s been filled with trying different medications, procedures, and dealing with their side effects. Like you, I reached a point where I had to step back and reconsider the treatments I was using, especially after some of them started causing more harm than good. Botox ended up being a turning point for me, although it wasn’t easy at first since it wasn’t widely accepted as a treatment for migraines back then. Hormonal changes also played a big role in my migraine pattern, and while I hoped they might lessen with menopause, that hasn’t quite been the case. I’ve found some relief with Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) and still rely on Botox, although the migraines do flare up as my next treatment date approaches. I totally get how isolating it can feel when you’re in pain and nothing seems to work. Please know you’re not alone in this-there are others of us out here who really understand what you’re going through. Have you ever tried a Neti Pot? It’s something a nurse friend recommended to me, and while it doesn’t always work, sometimes it does help a bit. I’m sending you lots of strength and hope that you find something that gives you relief soon. If you ever need to talk or just vent, I’m here and I’m listening. Hang in there! 💜

I do feel refreshed in the morning. I have been remembering my dreams more clearly lately and I love the tip to keep your eyes closed. This is very interesting. I am going to pay more attention. Thank you for checking in. Happy Gaming!
