This report was on my local tv 10 pm news last night. I could not believe
what I was seeing and hearing, because not only did they practically come
out and say "this cures cancer" but they even told the amount the guy took
AND showed the brand name bottles he bought at the local grocery store!!!
During the interview on tv they did give the biochemist a chance to talk
(not recorded in the interview they posted on the web sight, which I am
copying below) and he said that there was over 65% success rate for
prostrate cancer, 80% success for another type of cancer (sorry, can't
remember which) and 85% success for a third type of cancer!! (again, can't
remember--I was in too much shock). (this was on 1-5-06) here's the web
link if interested, but I've copied the whole article. Oh, the guy actually
lived in Reno, Nevada. You'll probably have to cut and paste the address,
if interested.

Two weeks ago a study claimed that omega-3 fatty acids, such as those found
in ocean fish including salmon and tuna, don't help protect against cancer.
But that study was actually just a review of previous research on the
subject. Recently, I met a man who's alive thanks to omega-3, and thanks to
a neighbor who's spent years looking into what it does.
Every morning, David Hall fills tiny bags with capsules containing omega-3
fatty acids, and takes handfuls of them throughout the day. He doesn't mind
because cancer should have ended his life five years ago.
"This is a disease called sarcoma it’s an unusual adult tumors, where they
come from was never clear," said Oncologist Steven Schiff, M.D.
The survival rate?
“If untreated, it is only months it’s a vicious disease," Schiff added.
However, fortune smiled at David Hall. He lived across the street from Ron
Pardini, a Ph.D. biochemist at the University of Nevada in Reno. For years,
Dr. Pardini has raised immune-deficient mice in which human cancers easily
grow - that is, until the mice are fed a diet high in omega-3 fatty acids.
"It makes the tumors susceptible," according to Pardini.
However, how do we know it was omega-3 that saved his life? The omega-3 was
all he's had to fight this cancer.
"When the patient (Hall) came in, he said he liked to try nutritional
supplements, I said fine because I had nothing better to offer," Schiff said
So instead of going home to die, Hall went home and started taking omega-3
pills, some fish oil, and some from an algae derivative called neuromins --
lots of them.
"I take 18 of each per day every day" said Hall. "I put six packs aside in
the morning - and check they’re all gone before I go to bed," Hall said
Dr. Pardini's theory is that, thousands of years ago, humans ate a diet that
was balanced evenly between omega-3 and omega-6, which is found in vegetable
oils, especially corn. But as agriculture became more efficient, that
balance was altered.
"The ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 is now up to 14 or 30 to one," Pardini said
Pardini believes we should eat no more than three or four times as much
omega-6 as omega-3 for best health. That has caused Hall to eliminate corn
and corn oil from his diet.
"If they feed the mice corn it goes right off the chart - the cancer growth
just skyrockets," Hall said.
No one will tell you omega-3 cures cancer, but Pardini and his neighbor say
it certainly has beneficial effects.
"And we've looked at human colon, mammary and prostate cancers and an
omega-3 rich diet retards their growth and has almost wiped out mammary
carcinomas," said Pardini. "It has definitely wiped it out. I'll find out in
about eight weeks, but I fully believe by the next cat scan it'll be nothing
"
Oncologists have heard of every fruitless scheme to beat cancer - but Hall's
doctor thinks this one might be different.
Has a patient survived?
“None that I can think of, it’s quite unusual," said Schiff "Clearly this is
a hypothesis that needs further testing.”
Some people find taking 36 pills a day literally hard to swallow, and some
have digestive problems. Plus, not eating corn may be tough in a town that
values its tortillas and tamales.
But if the choice is death or living longer, perhaps a pound of omega-3 oil
a month is not so bad.
