Wink Balancing Omega 3 & 6/unblocking Conversion Pathways

Yes, RB! This is what I have learned from you, and tell everyone who is suffering from joint pain. I am 63 yrs old, and I have NO joint pain. I believe my Omega 3 supplements contribute mightily to this happy factor, among MANY other beneficial attributes of Omega 3.

You should write a book! Oh, right -- you did!! And, we should all read it's messages. As you so brilliantly point out in your OMEGA SIX THE DEVIL'S FAT -- A MESSAGE OF DIETARY HOPE: "We ARE truly the fats we digest"... "The message (of this awareness) lives in the shadows, waiting to be heard."

"This discovery of the researchers, may prove to be a fundamental dietary truth of enormous consequence. Become passionate about your physical essence, fats."

I PERSONALLY THANK YOU FOR HELPING THE "ILLUMINATE THE ELEPHANT IN THE GLOBAL ROOM".
