Ep:227 I MADE A MISTAKE, I GAVE BAD ADVICE: WATCH THIS VIDEO TO CORRECT THIS ERROR - by Robert Cywes

I made a mistake because I was misled. I have discovered the scientific truth and in this video we share the truth about 3 omega fatty acids, DHA requirement and fish oil. I correct the recommendation of what is necessary based upon scientific evidence. We also provide some of the easy to understand science your doctor may be ignoring. Help them to know the scientific truth about how your body works.
Research Discussed...
Work by Dr Stephen Cunnane - Keto Brain and Dementia researcher. Instead of a single paper, go to PUBMED and type in his name and look at his publications. A wealth of scientific knowledge. We will be posting a discussion about his work on this channel soon.

[@bobh1208]

Oddly enough, "Dr." Berg, a scientologist AND a chiropracter, has the most firmly research-based take on fish consumption, regarding mercury, that I have seen on KZbin... and, I am able to be aware that this is the case because of my non-KZbin "research" into the clinical (on white lab rats, anyway) research... which, surprise surprise, the EPA has used to establish its consumption recommendations for various fish (instead of kow-towing to the seafood industry, such as it is). And, I have done enough "research" to suspect that Dr. Gundry, despite being an accomplished heart surgeon and a "real" doctor, is trying to fool himself or his prospective KZbin "customers", when he warns, in a video, against taking too many Brazil Nuts, and implies that he has consistently seen the selenium overload results in his clinic... cuz the dirty little secret about Brazil Nuts, as best can be google-gleaned, is that almost all of them these days come from the industrial growing region in Bolivia, which does not have the apparently-uniquely-low sulfur soil of their native Amazon, which supposedly caused 'em to uptake selenium instead of sulfur for a process there... wherefrom they were originally measured to have strong amounts of selenium... but, which the Bolivian industrial grown ones have been measured (which hasn't been very publicized, obviously) to run more towards one twentieth as much of... and, as such, should not be relied on to have enough - let alone too much - selenium. Fortunately there is a controlled-dosage capsule form of "dietary"/organic selenium available these days... should one know what it can allow you to get away with, when it comes to eating truly well. Speaking of which, Dr. Cywes, given that he is in Flarda, should learn that Mahi/Dorado/Dolphin, although it is low in mercury, since it grows like a crane bird [fastest of the fish], giving mercury less time-per-pound to accumulate... is also low in fat content... so he'd be better off in that regard eating the local Blackfin Tuna, which are gonna have significantly more DHA... but which (unlike Yellowfin Tuna of the same size) are gonna give you significantly more mercury than selenium... if one doesn't strategically self-supplement, in a safe amount. However, if Dr. Cywes reads this, I would guess that he can be counted on to do the research and figure out what I am on about. (Not gonna give it away!)

This guy suggested relying on ALA conversions, which the human body converts very little of into EPA and especially DHA, and fish oil supplements, nearly all of which are sold rancid and break down into oxalates in the human body. He suggested 1000mg of this crap a day. Now suggesting lots of fish, which unfortunately due to chemical plants and coal power plants have increasingly higher amounts of heavy metals can no longer be recommended as much as they used to be. Stop taking fish and krill oil supplements, you also don't need fish at all, flesh and fat of large ruminant animals grazing their natural food sources are more than enough to cover your Omega-3's, e.g Grass-Fed cows. Correcting his earlier mistakes with even more mistakes.

[@wcneathery3100]

I gave up fish oil awhile back and now eat 5 to 7 days a week wild caught cold water fatty fish such as sardines, herring , markerel or muscles. I eat the fish with my eggs for breakfast. Absolutely delicious. Occasionally if I can get wild caught salmon I'll have salmon. If for some reason I miss my fish I will take fish oil. As a child I grew up on sardines. My mother preferred I ate sardines for my afternoon snack rather than junk food.

[@nataliajimenez1870]

Unfortunately for people with a history of gout, sardines and herrings are one of the biggest triggers because they have huge amounts of purines. So what I do is to get fish oil which give the healthy fats while removing the proteins that trigger gout. I'll just make sure that the supplements I take are high on DHA. I can also eat salmon that doesn't have high level of purines

Dr. Paul Mason, a doc I highly respect, tested a number of Omega supplements and found almost every single brand was rancid. Ugh! I went directly to my freezer and threw away about $200 worth of DHA supps. I will gladly take your new advice today, but I am nervous about oils because of their potential for being rancid. Also, from all that I have read on this subject Omega 3 supps should be kept in the freezer or refrigerator.

I’ve been suffering migraines for 4 years and trying all kinds of diet and lifestyle changes to identify the cause and find relief, so far without success. I suspect it may be associated with menopause. I haven’t heard of taking Omega 3s with CoQ10 before. What is the connection to migraines? Where did you find this remedy?

My wife is 56 and I think she has some alzheimer symptoms, and severe PCOS. She has some signs of insulin resistance and refuses to go Keto. She has been eating a bit healthier but she does forget things and repeats herself. She has been taking some suppliments I gave her, but these 500 mg DHA might be good for her.

[@sportysbusiness]

In my late 40s I had terrible brain fog and started to forget things and what I'd said to people. At first, I assumed it was a sign of early menopause. It got so bad that one day I couldn't find my keys to get into my house. I ended up breaking in. I found the keys the next day. Where I'd put them. Looking back, I also had many signs of insulin resistance but didn't understand back then. I was on a 'healthy' low fat, high fruit, veg, beans and whole grains plant based diet. When my dentist diagnosed severe gum disease, I discovered Weston A Price and fell down the low carb rabbit hole. Within weeks of going animal based low carb, I got my brain back. 2 years on and I won't eat any other way. Show your wife this video by a GP treating her own husband. Once she understand she has 'diabetes of the brain', and she is basically starving her brain to death, the penny may drop. Good luck. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rp3ZlpKbmpdgqtk

[@Malcolm-Achtman]

I’ve been following various experts over the years and Dr. William Davis is one who certainly feels krill oil is a poor choice. He did a post on his blog in May 2013 and wrote: “The phospholipid form of DHA found in krill is also well absorbed, but occurs in such small quantities that it is not a practical means of obtaining omega-3 fatty acids…” He also makes a point that the triglyceride form of DHA, the form found in fish, is what you want to look for in a capsule. Many formulations in capsules use an ethyl ester form of DHA, which is 3 times inferior when it comes to absorption.

When I learned about nutrition in my very early teens, I compared what I knew to what physicians know, I dropped them altogether and learned to keep myself healthy. I've been on the ketogenic diet since BEFORE it became popular and just in the past year have been on the carnivore diet. I am able to do everything that folks my age can't do. In fact, I can still turn multiple cartwheels in a row as I did as a teenager. I LOVE THIS DOCTOR! Maybe I'll go back to seeing doctors if they all learn the basics of life as he has done. Kudos to Dr. Cywes!!

[@Nonduality]

Thank you for the correction. It strengthens your integrity. I had learned from other keto docs that krill oil was inadequate. As excellent as Dr. Cywes is and other keto docs are, I have to watch 6 or more of them to get a full picture, including the chiropractic keto docs. And just as Dr. Cywes has to keep learning, I know I have to keep learning too. Along with a cut of beef, I eat fish every day, choosing from a selection of frozen salmon, canned salmon, canned sardines, and canned cod livers. So far, so good.

Doctors who acknowledges and apologised for their mistakes are great doctors

I thought Krill Oil supplements are supposed to cross the blood-brain barrier much more efficiently and so that's why it's ok if it has far less DHA/EPA because your brain gets to use it immediately.. So this may require some further looking into....But honestly I'm happy to hear this information, cause those supplements are NOT CHEAP! I wanna know I'm getting something really effective. Thanks so much for your help! ❤️

[@suzannagriggs2132]

Love that you can admit to your mistakes, but more importantly that you get back to us regarding the truth of the matter.... Keep up the good work Dr. Cywes and you will always have my support.

Fish really IS brain food😅😂 We are eating salmon as we listen to this. (It’s lent)

John West brand Wild Scottish Sardines in springwater, 110g, 1130mg DHA per 75g serve 😘 Gratefuly received in New Zealand, where we don't appear to have sardines in all the ocean that surrounds us🤔

[@stevejones7196]

appreciate your willingness to change...the mark of an actual scientist and my basis for trusting you...now i am curious why you didnt mention sardines in this video?..they have 1700 mg of omega threes in a tin but i imagine you would say thats too much? or possibly the dha ratio is off? i was always told they are a great source of omega 3...what say you?

[@peacelove7332]

I love and respect your wisdom and humility doc x

[@mah3283]

Thanks Dr Cywes 👍

[@richardbray8004]

I appreciate your podcasts.

[@bentheman1980]

So in summary - the important number for omega 3 is not how much oil or omega three but how much DHA and (to a degree) EPA. When I buy supplements I calcuate the price per capsule vs the amount of dha and epa.

[@bentheman1980]

and btw this doesnt just apply to omega 3 supps. You have to look at the active/important ingredient rather than the headline ingredient (i.e. Omega 3)

Oversights & Errors are only a major problem IF they go UNcorrected. Thanks MUCH for the update. -StayWell

[@tracylinn5669]

Good for you Dr Cywes! Excellent example of the tenet that science should be led by "strong convictions loosely held".

[@Jchathe]

Wish all docs were like you, my friend. Kudos to you for owning up and correcting the information for the benefit of us all :) That, after all, is what true science should be!

[@ellek7233]

Taking 1000mg of anything to get a few 10s of mg effective dose has always seemed silly to me.

[@valeriakevin]

Much GRATITUDE for your honesty and for our well being.

[@lionessfoodie1640]

I eat canned sardines and stopped supplementing DR, another thing I came across is Vit A toxicity ( krill oil has high vitamin A)and having cholestitis I don't metabolize toxins or Vit A well and I am more mindful of high Vit A foods now. Please will you make a video on Vit A toxicity? When I used to eat liver I would start to feel unwell and that's when I started digging and found out.

This atittude of yours just increased my trust on you. Thank you Mr. Cywes.

Thankyou--you treat us like family! God bless you.

Thank you for your dedication and compassion coupled with true information and education. God Bless

[@vicnesheim302]

The brand you mention - source is Peru, Morocco and CHINA? Nope. Love you, Doc. China is a deal-breaker for me on so many fronts not least the lack of any kind of acceptable standards. What do you think of the Algae-source DHA? Found one from Norway....been taking the Krill as you know. Mine had 60mg DHA. Done with that.

[@robertcywes2966]

Are u using a cellphone? Likely Chinese....better from fish not plants

Dr. Cywes, thank you for spending the time to correct outdated information. Thank you for being humble enough to apologize. What you do keeps me coming back to your channel!

Thank you for passing on your new knowledge! Will increase my seafood consumption!

Dankie dr Cywes! Trots op jou 😊

[@PC-Elect]

Fair enough Doc you admitted making a mistake - HOWEVER, you have also made numerous mistakes in this video. For starters, information is not passed between synapses by electricity arcing. The majority of information is passed between synapses via emission and absorption of neurotransmitter chemicals. Some synapses transmit electrical current via the flow of ions, but in these cases the neurons are in physical contact so there is definitely no arcing. Also, there are many papers in PUBMED warning of the negative effects of the oxidation and aldehydes found in Omega-3 oil supplements. That you are dosing your preschool age child with the cheapest Omega-3 supplement you could find leads me to question how seriously you are taking your Hippocratic Oath. And recommending farmed salmon - good grief!

[@karine8738]

What would you take if you want to increase your omega 3 if you don't eat a lot of fish? Algal oil, Fish oil high in DHA (from little fish) or Cod Liver oil? It is for me, my kids but also my husband that has really bad psoriasis. We also started Vitamin D and magnesium. And what quality brands? (if I order from iherb or amazon Canada) that might not be rancid and toxicity from heavy metals, I read third party.) Sorry I am new to learning Omega3. I bought 6 months ago krills, and kirkland omega but did not use them, was not sure about quality and 1 month ago decide to learn more. Thanks!

[@mariliamonteiro3458]

Thank you for your honesty .

I just discovered this video. Appreciate the updated information and recommendations. Good reminder for me to change and update my lifestyle as I learn more too. Thank you Dr Cywes.

You're so genuine Dr. A genuine person admits their wrongs and corrects those wrongs.

very happy you are here to help and guide us! Thank you Dr. Cywes :)

Thank you Doctor. God bless you.

[@lindafields3262]

I appreciate your apology and humbleness ❤ that's what makes you AWSOME. You are a great teacher yet teachable AND THEN willing to admit and pass the corrected information to us. But that is medicine, life, religion... if you don't experience this then you're not growing, improving or changing. Keep up the good work Dr. Cywes ❤

[@nancysmith-baker1813]

Wow I am low low .I'll boost mine thankyou for correcting this . Appreciate you doing this . I would not do farm fish , they do not feed them as they should . Feed them crap .need to research that Doc .
