Fish Oil Fast Fact #88: Omega 3 Slows Tumor Growth

One of the most important things that you can do while you are being treated for cancer is to slow down the growth of the tumor. The slower it grows, the more time you have to treat it, remove it and completely eliminate it from your system. Scientists have recently discovered that there is a natural supplement found in fish oil that can dramatically improve this process. This supplement is called omega 3 fatty acid, and preliminary studies indicate that taking a daily dose of this essential nutrient can significantly slow cancerous growths (Journal of Nutrition 2002). While omega 3 cannot be relied on to stop your cancer entirely on its own, work with your doctor to see if this vitally important compound could help you win your battle more quickly and efficiently.
