>> announcer: the following is a paid advertisement for omax3 brought to you by prevention pharmaceuticals. today on "medical discoveries," you'll find out why you should stop taking your store-bought fish oil. doctors everywhere are recommending americans take fish oils daily because over 8,000 clinical trials support what have been called miraculous health benefits. so, why aren't you seeing the benefits from your store-bought fish oil? coming up, you'll discover the truth about potency, purity, and the missing-link ratio between epa and dha that researchers affiliated with yale university have discovered, which is the key to unlocking all of the health benefits of omega-3 fish oil. you'll also be introduced to a specific formula called omax3 ultra-pure, used by pro athletes and top doctors to achieve amazing results in just one week. join nutrition physician dr. melina jampolis and neurosurgeon dr. joseph maroon

as they lead our discussion. it's all right here on "medical discoveries." >> welcome to "medical discoveries." i'm thrilled to be here today with dr. joseph maroon. dr. maroon, welcome. >> thank you very much dr. jampolis. i'm excited to be here. >> dr. maroon, let's explain to the audience why omega-3's are so vital to get into our bodies every day. >> well, dr. melina, 3/4 of the population in the united states is deficient in omega-3 fatty acids, and that's according to the most recent statistics. >> and this is at a time when health-food stores and even grocery stores have omega-3 supplements. so they're readily available but we're still deficient. and more importantly, what is this deficiency doing to us? >> well, there are many possible signs of an omega-3 fatty-acid deficiency. these include dry skin and eczema, fatigue and moodiness, achy joints, heart problems, frequent colds due to immune-system problems, and many others. and if you're trying to lose weight on a low-fat diet, you're

likely to be deficient in these essential fats, as well. >> as a doctor, i've seen many of these conditions improve when patients get the right dose of high-quality omega-3's. but to be honest, with the wrong omega-3's, many of my patients can't tolerate the fish burps or swallowing so many pills. >> the fish burps are related to purity. and i want to challenge your viewers to do a simple test on the fish oil they have and they're taking now in terms of the freezer demonstration that i'm going to describe to you. what i'd like you to do is to take your capsule that you're taking now, place it in the freezer overnight. the next morning, look at it. what you'll discover is that if it's not pure and it probably contains unhealthy fats, it'll be cloudy or white. it may even contain toxins. >> wow. that's pretty surprising. and if your pill turns cloudy or white when you freeze it, you're wasting your money and your health. >> as a physician, i get sent supplements all of the time. >> me, too. [ chuckles ] >> when i received omax3 in the

mail, i tried it and noticed there were no fish burps or repetitions. that alone told me it was very pure. and then i found they are individually packaged in blister packs, which prevents oxidation and the rancidity that leads to the burping. the four-to-one ratio and the 1.5-gram dose told me it was very effective. but then i noticed the difference in my joints within a week or two, which was even more impressive to me. this is unlike any omega-3 supplement you can take. that's why we are so confident that everyone will experience some degree of results with their very first box. >> i definitely noticed results that quickly, too. and those are impressive, and it makes perfect sense really because omax3 is provided 1.5 grams of omega-3's, which is an optimal dose. and the four-to-one ratio is key for reducing inflammation, which is really at the root of many critical health issues in the body. don't you agree? >> totally. >> and, folks, in a few minutes, you'll meet wayne kurtz. he's a guinness world record

holder for completing 30 ironman distance triathlons in 30 days. yes, you heard me right. and he'll tell us all about the remarkable benefits of omax3 in his own life as a 50-year-old ironman. now, as a practicing neurosurgeon, why do you believe so strongly in omax3 that you're willing to put your reputation behind it? >> several years ago, i had a major midlife crisis. my father, a relatively young man, died suddenly of a heart attack. a marriage came apart, and i ended up, because of the stress, leaving neurosurgery, quitting my job. >> wow. that's big. >> it was big, and it really caused me to go into a pretty steep and deep depression that lasted for quite a few months. >> as a neurosurgeon, i'm enthusiastic about this four-to-one ratio of omega-3's and its ability to keep your arteries clear, which can improve brain function. >> if you're just joining us we're talking about omax3, the only omega-3 formula available direct to the consumer with a true pharmaceutical dose of

high-potency epa/dha fatty acid and without the fish burps. >> but what happened is i continued to run, run, run, and i was like forrest gump running through wheeling, west virginia, until my knees and my ankles and my joints really started to hurt. i started taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories... >> of course. >> ...the kind i gave my patients. discovered that i got an ulcer from that... >> wow. >> ...and subsequently was told about omega-3 fatty acids and how it helped joint pain. i started taking them, and sure enough, i had a major improvement not only in my mood but also in my joints, my knees, my ankles. i became sharper, more focused and actually was able to get back to neurosurgery and the most exciting part of my career. >> and being better than ever, i can imagine. >> well, i also discovered that cross-training helped me stay much more fit, and i discovered triathlons and began competing. and i'm pleased to say that i finished my eighth ironman world

championship race last october i don't like to say, at the 74. >> well, your secret is safe with me. >> i have to say that exercise and omega-3 fatty acids -- fish oil -- really helped restore my mind, my mood, my joints, and i became a sharper doctor, as well as an athlete. >> dr. maroon, we also need to talk about the research conducted by yale university affiliated doctors on omax3, as well as some of the case studies. and we'll do that in just a moment. folks, we're gonna take a quick break so you can get the information you need to get a free copy of dr. maroon's latest book, along with a free bonus supply of omax3. >> we know that essential fatty acids, what are found in omax3 are essential for normal brain function and that people with dementia tend to have very low levels of these essential fatty acids. so we do know that it can affect the brain function, including

memory and mood, and in fact there are studies now showing that high-quality fish oils, such as omax3, can effect an improvement in depressed people. >> with the omax3, i feel a lot better, a lot stronger, more energetic. i'm able to stay on my feet longer. being a fitness coach, sometimes it's 12 hours a day in between classes. you're still on your feet, and a lot of joint pain. i'm working out a lot. and i feel my workouts are a lot better on the omax3. >> my major complaint was severe, severe joint pain. the thing that i've noticed the most since taking omax3 is that that joint pain is pretty much all gone. within three months of taking omax3, i had a 20-point drop in my ldl cholesterol. and i can definitely tell you that that is not due to any

dietary changes that i made. i didn't do any exercise. i didn't do anything differently. the only thing that i did was take omax3. >> announcer: with your first free supply of omax3, you can banish inflammation and joint pain, eliminate dry, brittle hair and nails, stop dry, itchy skin, lower bad cholesterol, forget about focus and concentration problems, and never worry about a lack of energy again. omax3 ultra-pure is delivering these benefits to people just like you every day in just two easy-to-swallow liquid gel capsules daily. >> i noticed that the hdl cholesterol, which is the good cholesterol, did go up, and the ldl cholesterol, which is the bad cholesterol, went down. >> and i was getting bad pains in my legs and everything, so that's really, you know, helped me quite a bit. >> i found that my joints were not as achy. >> my skin was not dry and scaly and itchy anymore. my hair started shining again. >> announcer: try omax3 ultra-pure free today for just the cost of shipping and processing.

omax3 is the only omega-3 on the market that gives you a pharmaceutical-grade dose of omega-3's epa and dha at a four-to-one ratio, which researchers associated with yale university showed is the optimal ratio. just two omax3 ultra-pure capsules are equal to 8 to 12 capsules of store-bought brands. now you get better results with fewer pills to take. omax3 comes individually blister packed so it won't go rancid. see for yourself with the freezer test. if you take your regular store-bought fish oil and put it in the freezer, it becomes cloudy or white because it's filled with bad fats and impurities that your body doesn't need. but with omax3, it stays crystal clear because it is ultra-pure and ultra-effective. a landmark clinical trial showed that omax3 helps lower overall cholesterol, lower triglycerides, and lower ldl cholesterol in just 30 days. omax3 is the first choice for many professional athletes who are looking to keep their mind and body in top shape, like guinness world record holder wayne kurtz, who, at 46 years

old, completed 30 ironman triathlons in 30 days. >> i had used it for years, and the benefit i always felt was not only racing but mentally for work. i mean, i actually do have a life with a business and job and those kinds of things. so it always made me stay fresh. and i always remember, if i forgot to take it in the morning or if i was traveling, you just kind of felt down. i don't know. you didn't have the same kind of feel, mentally stimulating. >> announcer: brain surgeon and triathlete dr. joseph maroon recommends omax3 because he's seen the results for himself. >> i find that omax3, which is an omega-3 fatty acid, is one agent that i use to reduce inflammation in my joints and my knees, my shoulders, from swimming. i find it very effective. it's palatable, small pills, easy to swallow, and it's something that i take on a daily basis and i think makes a significant difference for me in my training regimen. >> my name is harold baines. i'm a former major-league baseball player, and a friend of mine recommended to take omax3. he knew i was having knee

problems on both of my knees. one of my knees -- i had five surgeries on it. the other one, i had a total knee replacement. and i started taking omax3, and i'm starting to see results. and it's been improving my flexibility, and i'm pretty pleased with the product. >> announcer: imagine how revitalized you'd feel if you could reduce joint pain, regain flexibility, improve your heart health, and lower cholesterol, enjoy sharper focus and concentration, and have boundless, all-day energy. with omax3 ultra-pure, you get ultra health benefits that you can see and feel in the first few days. claim your free 30-day supply of omax3 today. all you do is pay the cost of shipping and processing. and call today, because for a limited time prevention pharmaceuticals is including a 30-day supply of vitamin d3. vitamin d has been shown to improve calcium absorption, help balance blood pressure, and boost your immune system. so call now for your free omax3 ultra-pure fish oil and vitamin d supply.

>> the normal ironman distance is, you know, the 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike, and then you run the marathon, so 26.2-mile run at the end. and this race consisted of doing that every day for 30 days. the body took a tremendous amount of pounding -- crashes on bikes and marathon running and everything you can imagine from joint pain and inflammation. i took two per day in the morning, and it did have a dramatic effect -- there's no question -- on reducing some of the inflammation, and the joint pain was big. i mean, those were the two things that really helped being loose when you barely can get out of bed in the morning. you can feel the effect of it if you use it on a consistent basis, and i think that's the key to it. you need to use it every day. >> wow. what an incredible story and a testament to how powerful the benefits of omega-3's are when you get that key four-to-one ratio at the right dose and the highest purity. >> this speaks back, again, to

wayne kurtz, who's one of the most phenomenal athletes in the country -- in the world, actually. 30 triathlons -- ironman triathlons -- in 30 days. it took me six years to build up to doing just one. he's certainly a legend, and also, i have to say, i relate to the fact that he uses omax3 daily to help with his inflammation and also with his training. remember, dr. melina, i had been taking omega-3 supplements for years because i knew it was the healthy thing to do. >> i think that's pretty common, yeah. >> and the problem was, i never experienced the full benefits until i discovered the four-to-one ratio of omega-3 fatty acids. as a triathlete myself, i've seen a very significant increase in my energy levels. i've noticed joint and muscle pain that i've had at a low grade for years really diminish and markedly disappear. and i've had the same stamina and staying power to work out like i did in my 20s -- well maybe my 30s. >> [ laughs ]

i was gonna say, "20s might be pushing it a little, right?" >> maybe my 30s. >> if you're just joining us we're talking about omax3, the only omega-3 formula available direct to the consumer with a true pharmaceutical dose of high-potency epa/dha fatty acid and without the fish burps. and i think a lot of people like that it's natural, because a lot of people don't want to take all these medications to improve their mood, so that's an excellent point. and tell us a little bit about the ratio. >> well, the four-to-one ratio of epa to dha -- this makes it superior in suppressing two specific cytokines in the brain that are actually linked to depression. in fact, a study showed that omax3, given to patients with normal blood lipids, actually reduced overall cholesterol, reduced triglycerides, reduced ldl, which is the bad cholesterol. >> right. >> and by reducing ldl cholesterol, this is a big deal for a fish oil, because most fish oils may actually increase

your ldl cholesterol. overall, this helps improve your heart health. >> now, dr. maroon, let's focus on pain and inflammation for a moment. so many of my patients are turning to nsaids for pain relief from joint stiffness, back pain, and all types of muscle pain. how can getting this 1.5 grams of epa and dha into your body every day help with pain? >> a few years back, i took 250 patients who came into my office complaining of neck pain and back pain. all were on nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories, and i gave them and put them on a therapeutic dose of omega-3 fatty acids. and with six to eight weeks, 60% of the patients returned and were able to get off and get rid of the nonsteroidals, which we all know have very serious potential side effects. these include gastric ulcers and other major problems. so that for joint pain, i'm absolutely convinced, and i rarely use nonsteroidals in my practice anymore.

as a neurosurgeon and as a triathlete, healthy aging is extremely important to me, and keeping my heart healthy, my joints limber, and my mind sharp are absolutely critical for me in my profession. >> that's impressive hearing that a neurosurgeon is no longer using nsaids in his practice for the most part. i'm a believer now. i already was, but i'm even more of a believer, hearing about that study. we were able to catch up with your co-author, jeff, and get his insight on the subject. >> as a healthcare worker and an author of a fish-oil book on the benefits of omega-3, i get asked a lot about people having joint pain. jill approached me -- one of my co-workers -- about having joint pain for a number of years, and she had been on nonsteroidals and other medications without much improvement. and we gave her a box of omax3 and she, about two weeks later came up to us and said, "my joint pain is completely gone. i don't have any stomach upset." and she was ecstatic on the use of omax3.

>> you know, dr. maroon, let's take a quick break and hear about dr. lang's experience with omax3. take a look. >> we know that essential fatty acids, what are found in omax3 are essential for normal brain function and that people with dementia tend to have very low levels of these essential fatty acids. so we do know that it can affect the brain function, including memory and mood, and in fact there are studies now showing that high-quality fish oils, such as omax3, can effect an improvement in depressed people. >> announcer: with your first free supply of omax3, you can banish inflammation and joint pain, eliminate dry, brittle hair and nails, stop dry, itchy skin, lower bad cholesterol, forget about focus and concentration problems, and never worry about a lack of

>> it's really pretty simple. almost everyone is deficient in omega-3's. everyone could benefit from this supplement to look and feel their best. in my experience, the store-bought brands simply don't have the purity and the patented four-to-one omega-3 ratio to truly change your life. >> science now proves that the right dose of omega-3 daily, at this patented four-to-one ratio, will have benefits like the following -- it can lower triglycerides, it reduces inflammation, it increases joint mobility, it reduces joint and muscle pain, which was particularly of interest to me. >> me, too. [ chuckles ] >> [ chuckles ] and it enhances mood and memory, it helps to manage stress, it actually can improve vision in some cases and it keeps hair, skin, and nails looking great. >> maximum concentration and purity to lower triglycerides, optimum epa/dha balance to support healthy inflammatory response, high potency for optimal brain health and to improve mood, focus, and

concentration -- it's like a trifecta of health benefits that each and every one of us needs. dr. maroon, thank you for being on today's "medical discoveries." we've truly shared valuable information with our listeners. >> dr. melina, it was truly my pleasure joining you today to tackle this life-changing topic. >> that's all the time we have here on "medical discoveries." stay tuned for your final opportunity to try omax3 completely risk-free today. i'm dr. melina jampolis wishing you great health and happiness through nutrition. >> it comes all packaged for you to just pop out two pills a day. they're easy to take convenient, easy to swallow, and i know that i'm getting what i need for my cholesterol and to stay sharp and to stay flexible. >> i notice that i'm starting to develop some of the inflammatory
