Hello Cosmic_Ambitions,
Quote:I had a question for Kyo... I was wondering with respect to proper food intake/spiritual/physical development if taking Omega 3-6-9 (fatty acids) is a good way to cleanse the body of evasive saturated fats; also, do these Omega supplements promote spiritual/physical healing. I've heard a lot about these supplements and their healing properties. I've personally been taking them for a month now, and have experienced a noticible increase in my overall mood/clarity. Do you know anything about these dietary supplements? I know that scientists couldn't figure out why eskimos were so healthy beings their diet consisted of mostly seals/whales/etc... previously thought to be destructive with regards to overall health in large doses due to the fat content. However, upon further investigation they found that the reason for their superior health was due to the "fatty acids/Omega 3-6-9" within their diets, as found in these marine animals. I was wondering what your thoughts/knowings on Omega 3-6-9's were Kyo...
The Omega-3, Omega-6 and Omega-9 are classes of several dozen fatty acids that have important roles in the metabolism of the human body. The Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids are essential fatty acids (EFAs), which means they cannot be synthesized by the human body and must be present in the diet.
However, few realize that in addition to specific essential fatty acids, essential amino acids, high density cholesterol vs low density cholesterol, unsaturated vs saturated, monosaturated vs polyunsaturated, cis-fats vs trans-fats, etc etc; all of these are but the tip of the iceberg in the truth about nutrition - that the real battle is between *RAW* foods and *COOKED* foods.
(Previously, spiritual seekers debated whether a vegetarian diet was superior to a diet of meat, with regards to spiritual advancement. The surprise answer turned out to be the last statement of my preceding paragraph.)

The fundamental flaw in thinking and common misconception among the public is that "fats are bad for health", and as the eskimos have proven, nothing could be further from the truth. Certainly, all wild animals (and consumed raw) naturally have healthy doses of the essential Omega fatty acids, which are vital for good health; but what is the most important to realize, is that (prior to their corruption into modern civilization), the eskimos consumed largely *raw* meat, *raw* undenatured protein and *raw* fats & oils, including the raw Omega fatty acids.
It is *cooked* fats (and cooked or denatured proteins as well) which are causing all the cardiovascular diseases and other diseases (including heart attacks, high blood pressure, kidney failure, diabetes, cancer, etc) that scientists are warning the public about. But the scientists failed to specify
1) it's *cooked* fats that is the enemy, not fats.
2) *raw* fats are not only ok for you, they are the single most important dietary factor necessary for good health! You need *loads* of raw fats for optimum health!
The reason why they have failed to inform the public adequately, is because, by and large, human science, which is manipulated by human fears, have not yet been enlightened enough to recognize the true purpose of viruses and bacteria, and as such, operate from a paradigm of fear. A fear of bacteria, of raw foods, etc.
Man is the only species which cooks its food. Cooking is a powerful destructive process which irreversibly alters the biochemical properties of all nutrients. Do you see tigers and rabbits barbequing their food before a meal?
Alas, the unnatural infrastructures of modern civilization means we're living away from the forests, the farms, the natural sources of raw food. Consequently, and with commercial profit as a powerful motivation, human beings begin to imagine (wrongly) that cooked food, is the only way it can be done.
And so because of this fundamental error in thinking, scientists only investigate the effects of cooked fats, and they (correctly) uncovered the devastating effects of consuming cooked fats.
But they overlooked the other equally important side of the coin - that consumption of raw fats, is *essential* for good health.
Hilarion has pointed out that for the average human being who have been consuming cooked fats* all his life, his body would have accumulated loads of toxins that will require a directly proportional (usually exponential) increase in his consumption of raw fats, to gradually detoxify or release from the body the years of accumulated toxins.
(*cooked fats include pasteurized milk and its products; and you know *all* milk products you see are pasteurized, meaning cooked)
So Cosmic_Ambitions, Omega-3-6-9 fatty acids are undoubtedly essential for human metabolism and thus required for good health, but
1) Do check that your chosen supplementation of Omega fatty acids are using RAW, unheated, cold-pressed (cold = no heat used; pressed = using pressure to extract the oils) sources. If so, excellent. If not, switch to another brand which does.
2) If you ask "if taking Omega 3-6-9 (fatty acids) is a good way to cleanse the body of saturated fats", then the answer is no and no. First no, is that it is not just saturated fats that is the problem, it is cooked fats. (cooked unsaturated fats behave as saturated fats; cooked high density cholesterol behave as low density cholesterol; all cooked fats behave as trans-fats, which is now openly acknowledged by science to be cancer causing).
And no, taking Omega fatty acids are important for their own essential roles in metabolism, but by themselves are unable to solve the problem of accumulated toxins in the body due to the previous lifelong consumption of cooked fats of all kinds. It will require a drastic reduction in consumption of cooked fats (of all kinds, including pastuerized milk products; and of course all fried foods!), and a massive increase in the consumption of raw fats, to do the job.
I have listed a few suggestions for sources of raw fats on my webpage here (recently I've found that mixing Raw Avocadoes with undenatured raw protein in the form of Syntrax's Latte Cappuccino flavour of Whey Isolate, tastes wonderful! I gotta update my webpage with that suggestion); but I would urge all reader serious about this topic of nutrition, to please do yourself and your family a big favour, and obtain a copy of Aajonus Vonderplantiz's "We Want To Live" from Jon C Fox's Hilarion.com, or from Amazon.com.
