QUOTE BOARD “Autoimmune diseases [rheumatoid arthritis, polymyalgia rheumatica, autoimmune thyroid disease, psoriasis, and all others], characterized by an inflammatory autoimmune response to self-tissues, are the third leading cause of morbidity in the industrialized world and a leading cause of mortality among women.” In this two-by-two trial, supplementation with both vitamin D and omega 3 fatty acids decreased autoimmune disease by about 30% versus placebo alone. “A significant interaction was found with time, pointing to an increased effect after longer duration [after 2 yrs] of supplementation.” “The clinical importance of this trial is high because these are well tolerated, non-toxic supplements, and other effective treatments to reduce the incidence of autoimmune diseases are lacking.” WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW Autoimmune diseases are chronic inflammation diseases, and deficiencies of Vitamin D and Omega-3 fatty acids are primary causes of chronic inflammation. Further, deficiencies of Vitamin D and Omega-3 fatty acids are pandemic in the Industrial World due to lack of sun exposure and lack of these essential nutrients in our food supply. Your genes cannot properly regulate or resolve inflammation without sufficient intake of Vitamin D and Omega-3 fatty acids. “Vitamin D regulates an array of genes, many involved in inflammation and acquired and innate immune responses.” “Animal and in vitro studies indicate that increased dietary intake of Omega-3 fatty acids inhibit production of C reactive protein and inflammatory cytokines; decrease T cell proliferation and activation; and serve as substrate for specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators, including resolvins, protectins, and maresins, which promote resolution of inflammation.” WHAT YOU NEED TO DO You need to supplement with Innate Choice® OmegA+D Sufficiency™ and the other components of the Innate Choice® Essential Nutrient System™. There simply is not a more evidence-based, easier, or less expensive way to promote health and prevent chronic illness, loss of quality of life, and preventable early death.
