The list of health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids (fish oil) listed below may seem endless. And it might seem impossible for daily dose of omega-3 fatty acids to provide all the of the health and multiple myeloma therapies below but its not.
I’m a long-term multiple myeloma survivor living with a host of long-term and late stage chemotherapy side effects including chemo brain, chemotherapy-induced cardiomyopathy (CIC), radiation-induced nerve damage and a risk of treatment related secondary cancers.
According to the studies linked and excerpted below omega 3 fatty acid supplementation helps me remain in complete remission, prevent new cancers, and manage many of the previous long-term and late side effects that I contracted all those years ago.
The list of health benefits of omega 3 fatty acids supplementation is long. Omega 3 fatty acids are a wonder drug. Most importantly of all, omega-3 fatty acids are non-toxic. I have been supplementing with it for years and plan on taking it for the rest of my life.
I take one capsule daily of Life Extension Super Omega 3 EPA/DHA with Sesame Lignans and Olive Fruit to insure all I get all of the health benefits below and I encourage you to do so as well.

“Conclusions- In conclusion, treatment with omega-3 PUFAs decreased the BNP and SNE levels and increased the LVEF in DCM patients. These findings suggest that omega-3 PUFAs might be beneficial to HF patients, but the evidence is not definitive. In the future, high-quality RCTs with large numbers of participants are needed to investigate the optimal dosage and components of omega-3 PUFAs to improve the prognostic outcomes of HF patients…”
