Re: Fw: Japanese radiation?

I am a little concerned about Wild Alaskan salmon. This is a product I eat a

couple days a week and it seems to help my MS symptoms. I know already about the

pollution but, not knowing my geography, wondering how close the nuclear fallout

is to the Alaskan waters?

     I don't know the answer to your question, but you can check the

direction

of the jet stream at the present time.  That would probably give you an idea of

where the fallout is going.  Unfortunately, since wild salmon swim around the

ocean for several years before returning home to spawn, you would probably also

have to know where they range. 

    Dr. Jelinek does recommend eating a lot of fish to get the omega-3s. 

He

feels that they are very important in the MS diet.  However, because of

salmon's

place on the food chain, he recommends oily sea fish that are further down the

chain, such as sardines, anchovies, etc.  They're likely to have a lot less

pollutants of all types. 

    He also recommends flax oil, but he says that there is some question

about

how efficiently the body can use that, compared to fish oil.  But if you are

really worried about fallout, you can try eating that instead.  I put ground

flax seeds in all the bread I make.  The addition of a few tablespoons in a

loaf

doesn't affect the taste or baking at all.

    Dr. McDougall doesn't recommend eating fish at all.  He feels that one

can

get everything that one needs from a plant-based diet.  He feels fish are too

polluted and becoming too scarce to be eaten, so it's partially a philosophical

decision as well as a medical one for him.

circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We
