Silent inflammation has been linked to heart disease, cancer and dementia. It is a condition that occurs when the body's natural immune response goes awry. Silent inflammation is an inflammation without pain and it can continue undetected for years, continually assaulting your heart, arteries and even the brain - without you noticing it.

According to Dr. Barry Sears, author of bestselling books "The Zone," a high carbohydrate diet is the culprit to this kind of health situation. In his book "The Anti-inflammation Zone," he has proposed taking supplements of high dose, ultra-refined fish oil as the best armor against inflammation.

The Japanese manage to maintain a state of wellness (they have been rated the healthiest nation in the world) and stay away from silent inflammation by consuming copious amounts of fish. However, according to a research, even massive amounts of fish do not ensure them enough intake of omega-3 fatty acids or fish oil. Fish oil is ultimately the healthiest fat around because it has profound anti-inflammatory properties. It has no long-term side effects and can even make you smarter.

The reason why high-dose fish oil is so effective is because it reduces arachodonic acid (AA) which is the building block of pro-inflammatory eicosanoids. By taking it for 30 days, fish oil will increase your levels of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Fish oil is the only dietary supplement that is supported by robust clinical studes. It assists by treating chronic conditions like heart disease, cancer, immunological and inflammatory diseases, and neurological conditions like attention deficit disorder, depression, multiple sclerosis, and different types of dementia.

However, taking fish oil as a defense to silent inflammation has a drawback; it might lead to contamination. So in taking fish oil as dietary supplement, Dr. Barry Sears cautioned to ensure that it is ultra-refined and to use the SIP as guidance for exact dosage. On a scale of 1 to 10 for supplements, Dr. Sears give high-dose fish oil a 12. The EPA found in fish oil partially inhibits the activity of the delta-5 desaturase enzyme that makes AA.

This represents the primary anti-inflammatory effect of fish oil, he adds. To achieve a significant impact on AA production, a person must provide a lot of EPA. A high-dose fish oil, especially that rich in EPA, will likely lead you to success in reducing silent inflammation as reflected in the reduction of the AA/EPA ratio. 

The public and mainstream medicine are starting to accept the importance of insulin control to well-being. Now is the perfect time to bring to public attention the role of eicosanoids and the way high-dose fish oil can affect them. Dr. Barry Sears highlights the role of fish oil in medical practice because, he say, medical care is based primarily on the food we eat, not the drugs we take.

Recent genetic research is forcing scientists to evaluate the value of fish oil in the health of modern humans. Fish oil is so effective that having this dietary supplement may be like having a miracle drug that brings about the perfect balance between eicosanoids with zero side effects.
