Myeloma, Brain, Heart, Olive Oil

Research and Personal Experience Confirm the Benefit of Omega 3 Fatty Acids combined with Olive oil for Brain, Heart, Blood Heath- And they fight Cancer Too- 

I am a long-term survivor of an “incurable” cancer called multiple myeloma. I have remained in complete remission by living an anti-MM lifestyle. Omega-3 fatty acids, discussed below, help me remain in complete remission because research shows omega-3 fatty acids kill multiple myeloma cells while leaving normal cells untouched.

Just as important, omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy.

Further, omega-3 and olive oil both help me manage my chronic A-Fib, help me heal my chemobrain (both side effects of my aggressive chemotherapy) and help my brain remain healthy for the rest of my life.

I have linked and excerpted the studies below to build my case for the addition of omega-3 fatty acids and olive oil to my daily diet.

I am both a MM survivor and MM cancer coach. Research and experience has shown me that cancer patients must utilize both conventional (FDA approved) and evidence-based non-conventional therapies such as omega 3 fatty acids and olive oil to manage their health for the long term.

Do you have multiple myeloma? Side effects such as chemobrain or heart damage? Scroll down the page, post a question or comment and I will reply to you ASAP.

Thank you,

Omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA induce apoptosis and enhance drug sensitivity in multiple myeloma cells but not in normal peripheral mononuclear cells

“The n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) have been shown to enhance the effect of chemotherapeutic drugs in clinical studies in cancer patients and to induce apoptotic tumor cell death in vitro…

Importantly, they did not affect viability of normal human peripheral mononuclear cells.

Our study suggests that EPA and DHA induce selective cytotoxic effects in MM and increase sensitivity to bortezomib and calls for further exploration into a potential application of these n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in the therapy of MM…”

“The evidence for the cardioprotective nature of omega-3 fatty acids is abundant, and currently available data indicate that patients with known coronary heart disease should consume at least 1 g daily of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids from either oily fish or fish-oil supplements…”

Extra-virgin olive oil preserves memory, protects brain against Alzheimer’s

“The Mediterranean diet is associated with a variety of health benefits, including a lower incidence of dementia. Now, researchers have identified a specific ingredient that protects against cognitive decline: extra-virgin olive oil. In a new study, the researchers show that consumption of extra-virgin olive oil protects memory and learning ability and reduces the formation of amyloid-beta plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain — classic markers of Alzheimer’s disease…

Oleocanthal inhibits proliferation and MIP-1α expression in human multiple myeloma cells

“In the present study, we investigated the effects of a recently isolated novel extra virgin olive oil polyphenol, oleocanthal, on the human multiple myeloma cell line ARH-77. Here we report that this natural compound has a remarkable in vitro activity by inhibiting MIP-1 α expression and secretion in MM cells…”
