Speaker 2:did you know that according to a$25 billion 12 years study, there are 90 essential nutrients we all need everyday to provide optimal health. And in this episode, Dr Shane Harada will be telling us all about them. It's a fascinating story. I'm sure you get a lot of benefit out of this episode. Meantime, it's important for all of us to do our best to get these nutrients from real, unprocessed food, five to nine veggies per day, as much real unprocessed food as possible in our diets to eat good, healthy proteins, fats, oils, you get the drill, but it's almost impossible to get a perfect diet in this day and age. So make sure you fill in these deficiencies by checking out Mimi's miracle minerals, which gives you over 60 of these 90 nutrients. Mimi's miracle multi, which fills in a lot of the rest, especially those that are difficult to get from a diet. Zinc is a great example. And then pure form Omegas as was discussed on episode 100 with pain expert, Dr Jeff Matheson for your, uh, for your Omega three, six and nine. These are amazing products. The three of them, the mimis miracle minerals, the multi and the Omega together do an amazing job of covering all these deficiencies that most of us just have. If we get our blood work done. If you've never got your blood work done before, you ought to get a nutrient panel done, you will find that even though you eat very well, you have deficiencies. It's just science. There's so many of these things been done. We just know from talking to these people that the research is out there. Most of us have deficiencies that are very difficult to fill in, even from a pretty good diet. So these will give you 90% of the essential nutrients you need. The rest you can get from food fairly easily. So make sure and go to[inaudible] dot com and use the coupon code insider to get 15% off those products and anything else, your little heart desires. And now onto episode 111 the 90 essential nutrients we all need every day with Dr Shane Hurghada. Hello everybody. Welcome to the dire ob health show. I'm excited about today's episode, the 90 essential nutrients with Dr Shane Hirata. This is something that has never really come across my radar, not in this format anyway. Of course I'm familiar with vitamins and minerals and and amino acids, et Cetera, but I'd never heard of this construction of the 90 essential nutrients, which is actually quite big online. You can Google it. We're actually going to create a guide out of this to provide you some really interesting and easy to access information to use this content, and by the way, that'll be on blog dot[inaudible] dot com all of our podcast episodes are published there and so we're going to make this content really easy and actionable for you and I'm excited for Dr Herana to share it with you, Dr Grotta, thank you so much for coming on the show. Hey, thank you so much Dave, for having me. It's a pleasure to be here. Yeah, it's great to have you. You introduced me to this concept. I got intrigued with it. I've been googling it a little bit, but I'm really excited to have you as an expert to cover this content because one of the things I've been well aware of in my own nutritional journey is the concept of deficiencies. And of course we own a supplement company. So you know, we have to do a lot of research on what people are most likely to be deficient in. And this episode today we'll cover that. And, and for those of you listening, like I said, we will be creating content that's very easy for you to digest and use and download stuff so that you can make sure your body is not having a, you know, that you don't have any deficiencies. Um, and that you cover these 90 essential nutrients. Uh, when we're done we'll have a have graphics about it and create a simple guide, uh, that you can download as well if you like. So Dr Harati, you came across this information sometime ago and um, and actually just before we jump into the details of this, would you tell us your backstory and your own personal health journey? We'll thank you. For me. It's been a very beautiful journey,
Speaker 3:very interesting journey. Uh, began really when I was a child being the oldest of 11 children. Uh, my mother was very involved with herbs and natural healing when I was in high school, actually had an injury to my low back that, uh, my brother, they took me to the nature path and not only did we do the herbs and things, but he gave me a, a nature pathic adjustment if you will. And by the end of that, uh, session with him, my low back had settled down tremendously and some 15 years later while I was in chiropractic school, it was then brought out that that injury had actually fractured one of my growth plates. Uh, um, then through the clinical experience because nutrition was something that I knew needed to be in part of my practice. So I was actually involved in, in clinical nutrition, uh, with, uh, one of the major nutritional companies even while I was going to school. Then following that experience coming out of school, knowing that the body could literally be healed from so many different diseases because we are dealing with so many different deficiencies that, uh, I've been through more study and research came across Dr Wallach, um, and, and worked with him closely for 10 years and through that became familiar with the 90 essential nutrients and the 900 different diseases, uh, that the, that those nutrients are associated with. As I began using the nutrition myself personally, the low back injury was literally completely resolved. And even since that time, it's been very, very minimal in any sort of Reoccurrence. So I say personally that it's completely healed and now I get to use that experience with my patients and my community and so grateful that we get to share the experience here today with our listeners.
Speaker 2:Okay. Thank you so much. And you mentioned Dr Wallach, who is the primary researcher who discovered these 90 essential nutrients. So why don't you tell us the backstory and how that all came about?
Speaker 3:So I became familiar with Dr Wallach, uh, the about 2009 2010. And, uh, he actually, for those of you that remember the seventies and eighties, the show called mutual of Omaha's wild kingdom, he was actually one of the veterinarians on the backside of Marlin Perkins doing the autopsies. And in the pathological studies of those animals from there, he was called back to the United States to then begin research and finding out what some of the challenges were or are at that point with the animals being held in captivity specifically and especially the zoos where he then began to autopsy, uh, those animals that were dying as well as the animals who were not able to bear, uh, live children or have filled fertility issues in captivity. And that's why we don't hear about those things today is because his research, the changes in the nutrition and the Diet that he brought to those animals from there, um, he actually became a nature of path and began treating humans in the same way that he was as a veterinarian. You know, it's very interesting as a veterinarian, they like to heal the herd through nutrition because in the livestock industry there's only a certain amount of drugs. And steroids and things that you can give the herd before it becomes too expensive. And the farmers and ranchers then discontinue that because they want their herd to be healthy and it's not cost effective to have a completely diseased herd. So that's how Dr Wallach then began, uh, understanding and using these 90th central nutrients was through those autopsies. Through those experiences and finding out that in essence there are 90 essential nutrients required to nourish and heal every cell in the entire body.
Speaker 2:And by the way, if you Google this topic, there is an article that claims that Dr Wallach did a$25 million study from 1971 to 83 doing autopsies on animals and humans and that they, that that team of researchers did over 10,000 autopsies and I believe the number is actually 16,000 autopsies of animals and humans as well as chemical profiles on every single one of them to discover these 90 essential nutrients. So I find that very fascinating. And, uh, uh, actually they, they claim that this study over 12 years did 10 million blood chemistries and his[inaudible]. I have no idea what that is. Do you know what, uh, uh, his, so pathology is still pathology. So histology is
Speaker 3:the, um, study of the human cells under the microscope. So the microscopic and pathology of course is then disease found in those cells. So he was actually one of his specialties was pathology at the cellular level. That's why he was doing the autopsies, looking at various tissues, various organs, uh, which that gave him the ability to obviously realize that discovery, which nutritional components were involved with healing those particular organs and tissues.
Speaker 2:And do I understand correctly, some of our listeners will probably know the book dead doctors don't lie. Is that not the same Dr Wallach?
Speaker 3:That is. And another interesting fact is that the book that those studies are published in is being held at the Smithsonian Institute and is still considered to be the Bible for veterinarians.
Speaker 2:Okay. Fascinating. So let's move on now to what they discovered. So tell us, uh, I'm not gonna ask you to list them all. We don't need to go through an, you know, naming 90 essential nutrients. But tell us that the categories and the rough explanation what, we'll have the full list on the website as I mentioned. So those of you listening, we won't bore you here with those details. You can just grab on the website. But tell us a, an overview here of the 90 essential nutrients.
Speaker 3:So there are basically four categories of nutritional components. The first and largest is the minerals and of course in balanced natural nutritional, uh, things that are found in nature. There's about Oh 70 to 80 minerals in proper balance. Now 60 of those are considered essential nutrients. Now essential in this frame is the body cannot produce it by itself and thus the body requires those nutritional components to come in through the Diet or through the water or through some other source. So 60 of those 90 are minerals themselves. The next category are vitamins and there are 16 vitamins. Then the next category is amino acids and there are 12 amino acids from those three categories. That makes 88. And then there's essential fatty acids, which are found in fish oil, flax oil. There are plant and animal bases for those. Uh, but there are two to three essential fatty acids, which that adds up to 90 or 91 essential nutrients.
Speaker 4:Okay.
Speaker 2:Okay. Outstanding. And uh, this is probably obvious from the context of our earlier conversation, but what happens if we are deficient and in some of these things?
Speaker 3:So as Dr Wallach was finding that these 90 essential nutrients basically have about 10 or so different deficiency diseases. And so if you take 90 times 10, that equals about 900 different diseases that are directly associated with vitamin, mineral, amino acid and essential fatty acid deficiencies.
Speaker 4:Okay.
Speaker 2:Okay. And, uh, now a lot of people when they think about vitamin and mineral deficiencies, they think about the third world. And, um, and maybe to a lesser extent, the first world and the first world, I think everyone knows that we're deficient in some things. And most people understand. We have a generally pretty credit diet in the United States that were, uh, for some bizarre reason trying to export to other countries that then our, our health challenges from the United States seem to be entering into those, uh, uh, those countries. So I think generally we understand that. So on the one hand we were more prosperous, we're able to buy a variety of food. We have easy access to food, we all have refrigeration and electricity and all the conveniences that some people don't have in the third world. So I think that that understanding I just laid out as I imagine a lot of Americans would agree with it that, but we typically picture deficiencies being higher and very poor countries lower here and yet we do have our own health challenges. So, um, because we probably have no listeners in third world, although if we do welcome, we're so happy that you're here, but most of our listeners are in the United States and Canada and the UK. So, uh, to those people, Dr Hurghada. Yes. Um, what would you say about the likelihood of them being deficient in some of these 90 essentials?
Speaker 3:Well, it's so interesting because these 90 essential nutrients cover basically every chronic disease that's in all of the first and second and third world countries, including the likes of arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, which bone diseases, if you want to go soft tissues and go brain and heart, that includes strokes, diabetes, heart disease, lung disease, uh, most forms of cancer, also nutritional in relationship. Um, and the list goes on and on and on in these 900 diseases.
Speaker 2:Okay. So, um, let's, let's jump into them then. So the first category is minerals. Talk to us about these essential minerals.
Speaker 3:So these essential minerals are pretty much in primarily the most important category that is deficient. And interesting enough, the thought that comes to mind is the fruits of the vegetables that you taste that are the most sweet, typically have the highest mineral content, which makes them sweet and desirable to the human body. Likewise to all of the animal population that eat those fruits of vegetables. Those are, that is why those fruits and vegetables, they become desirable to all of the wildlife and the surrounding creatures. The interesting thing about that as well is the, on the flip side, the bugs, the uh, worms, the parasites, they are typically not found as prevalent in those crops that have higher mineral content. Um, so in Dr Wallacks work, the minerals for instance, for diabetes, well for blood sugar regulation is a better way to say that include,
Speaker 5:um,
Speaker 3:chromium, vanadium in zinc. Those are three minerals that are primary in the regulation for blood sugars that help the pancreas with the insulin levels, but more importantly to help the cells actually utilize the sugars better. So very interesting. That's just one case in one instance where there's direct relationship to minerals and other cases, arthritis where you have calcium, magnesium, strontium, Boron and other minerals that are all cofactors with one another. Whereas obviously we hear about calcium and magnesium. But in order to truly absorb and utilize the calcium and magnesium, there's a host of about 12 to 20 additional nutritional components that are required for the calcium and magnesium to be utilized for that bone to be strengthened and to be repaired.
Speaker 2:I can't help noticing that arsenic is on the list, which is always an interesting thing because of course, arsenic is generally known as a poison.
Speaker 3:Yes. And, uh,
Speaker 2:you know, it could be our listeners are already familiar with this concept, but I'd like to you to touch for you to touch on it just for a minute because we run into this all the time with our product Mimi's miracle minerals, which has 70 minerals, including all of ones listed here. Yeah. What people don't understand is not all of these minerals sound terrific. I mean, they kind of sound like the periodical table of, uh, of, um, elements, right. And, um, uh, a lot of them sound like metals and, and, and they frankly are, uh, metals. I mean, tell us what minerals are and why in the world. Anyone would recommend we take something like, let me name a couple. Arsenic, aluminum, beryllium, um, Boron. Um,[inaudible] I mean I'm just, I'm literally reading off of these 60 minerals that are molybdenum media neodinium neodymium don't even know how to say that. Sorry. I'm just that two things I can't pronounce so far today. Scandium, um, strontium, which is a mineral I add to my saltwater fish tank, right? Vanadium, these are all on the list of things we should be putting into our body. Can you talk to that?
Speaker 3:So in the ionic form, typically the minerals are negatively charged, which is why they become antioxidant in the body because all antioxidants are negatively charged. And the cat ions, which is the opposite charge or the positively charged, are the free radicals. That's what helps them, the balanced forms of these minerals, which are metals, but they're in their ionic forms and it has a negative state. So then they can actually neutralize and help the body escort those toxins and poisons and free radicals to the liver and then to the elimination systems so that they can be escorted out as waste from the body.
Speaker 2:Okay. Excellent. Well, before we leave this topic of, of minerals, I do have to brag about our products. Mimi's miracle minerals, which is one of our top selling products on Amazon. I get tons of people that just love it and we get all types of rave reviews about it, including simple things like people say their hair grows better and their fingernails grow better. Uh, they talk about having more energy and so, uh, it is a natural product. The minerals are an ionic form as you just described. And a full disclosure, Dr Hurghada is a wholesale buyer of, of our products. He sells other products out of his store as well. Um, but he purchases some of our products and resells them through a story's a wholesale buyer. So, um, I appreciate that Dr Harada and uh, anything to say about, um, minerals generally. Actually before we jump in, I just gave my plug for Mimi's miracle minerals. I'm not even going to ask you to come at more on that. Uh, that's enough of a pitch. But let's actually go backwards from supplements and talk about foods because of course supplements should supplemental to a good diet. And, and the primary way we should all be getting these 90, uh, elements as best we can is, is through our diet. So, um, while we're talking about the, the minerals and before we talk about the supplement, yes, what are those foods that people should really be eating, um, to get the, the essential minerals?
Speaker 3:s
Speaker 2:Okay, excellent. Let's move right along. How about vitamins?
Speaker 3:So 16 vitamins, obviously with the discussion of vitamin D, You could break that word down and go. Vital minerals is where that word comes from because the center component of every vitamin is a mineral and that's their action. So vitamins, of course, very important. Most of the same foods that we just discussed are high in vitamin content also. So having, if you will, a balanced diet. That is, I prefer and what I've seen in most research is that the lower carb is much better as well because for instance, most of the grains, they're higher in calories than they are in nutrients. So if you want a higher nutritional component, uh, to your diet, then eliminate so much of the grains of the calories it go for more of the higher protein and higher healthy fat as well as the fresh fruits and vegetables. And even if they're steamed, that's a great way to go as well. Broccoli, cauliflower, those kind of things that are steamed asparagus is another great one.
Speaker 6:Okay.
Speaker 3:Uh,[inaudible] those are going to be typically higher end vitamins as well as bigger roles.
Speaker 2:Okay. And as I look at this list, we've got vitamin A, we got the BS, we've got c, d, e, k, bio tin, Coleen flavonoids and bioflavonoids, folic acid and a nice atol. Now we put most of those in Mimi's Merkel multi. We wanted a multi that had those things where most people were most likely deficient in and didn't have those things that people should not be supplementing in my opinion. For example, I know how important vitamin A is, but there's so much research out there that people are just getting too much. Vitamin A. Vitamin A is one of those that you don't want to get too much of. It's really easily gotten, have had from diet. Um, same as vitamin C. I don't like to supplement vitamin C. I try to have a cup of, of uh, mixed organic berries every single day. As a matter of fact. What you, you referenced the Green Smoothie. I do a green smoothie every day and um, and I have a cup of mixed berries in there that gives me all the c that I need as well as a lot of other vitamins and minerals. As you know, I usually put a spinach in there or other greens. Um, I often add a powder. Right now I'm using shakeology, which is kind of pricey, but it also has a lot of really great nutrients in it. And then in Mimi's miracle multi, um, you know, we have a, the B, we have a d, we haveK, we have Coleen, we have full of casters, we have a nice tall as well as a chromium which is uh, comes from the mineral list and a other elements. So we specifically designed it because most of multis just don't work the, there's so much research on multivitamins and the fact is most of them are completely ineffective. And one of the reasons we found that they're ineffective as they try to do too much. Um, for example, the, there is a really important reason we didn't put magnesium in here and that is because we know that magnesium and zinc counteract each other in a supplement. Uh, zinc I didn't mention but zinc is also in our Mimi's miracle multi. So, um, we formulated that very on purpose to fill in deficiencies. Um, especially those that are very difficult to fill in, uh, from food. So, uh, this is why we make Mimi's broken minerals and Mimi's miracle multi-core pack on our website for people who do our precision nutrition and pro coach training with us is to kind of address these things in a very, in a smart way. So we're not mixing things that shouldn't go together. We have things in the right amounts and we only have those things that we think are gonna make a major difference in people's health. So having said all that, what are your thoughts on multivitamins generally as a solution to filling in the vitamin deficiency void here from this essential 90 list?
Speaker 3:Well, that's a great question. It's a very interesting question. Um, personally, my philosophy is I get my nutrition first and then I supplement it with food because obviously somebody are, the foods, um, are so nutrient deficient. But then the, the nutrition is so vital. So the green smoothie in the morning with, with some protein, the proper forms of protein, the vitamins, the minerals, and the essential fatty acids, the essential fatty acids are another vital component that we'll get to, I'm sure. Um, but what I found in my supplementation was what I started to do that on a regular basis ended higher quantities. That's what literally helped the low back in my personal case to heal up and to heal. So well that within about four months, low back pain was totally gone. Ed, the, the bones at the joints of the Liga boots were healing up so well that I was doing a workout, uh, on a DVD that there were taught 250 abdominal abdominal and low back, uh, moves or um, components and I was doing it the neighborhood and a 400 a day. So it was, that was an amazing switch for me is to that switch my brain, get my nutrition everyday and then supplement that with food. And what I found in that same four months is that cravings went away because my body was getting all that it needed. What nutrition. At the same time my intake and my families had take, cause I was doing this with my family at the same time. Our grocery bill dropped by one third. Wow. That's a good thing. So your dollars then for those, you know, the, the thing, the dollar is going to, uh, to make or break your, your supply budget. It, uh, it actually just really depends upon how you are spending those dollars and where you're getting your value from those dollars.
Speaker 2:Okay. And again, a foods you've already mentioned in our previous, you know, discussion about minerals, about the berries, green leafy vegetables in the vitamin category. Is there anything you would add? Any, any different types of foods for, um, getting the vitamins we need from our food
Speaker 3:that can also depend upon and vary with the conditions or the situations that individual is dealing with. So I tend to look at that more on a case by case basis. Um, and, and telling individuals, for instance, uh, when the I and their nutritional components for the eyes. So I may add in eggs as part of a nutritional component because there's some amino acids that are found in eggs that aren't as high in other foods. Spinach's none the great word, although research is showing spinach used to be very high in iron. It's not nearly as high in iron. So I may add a nutritional component that adds iron for those that are iron deficient.
Speaker 2:That's interesting. As a matter of fact, we put 18 micrograms of iron in Mimi's Merkel bolty and there was a lot of debate over that because this is a unisex product. And uh, um, you know, a lot of people are aware that women need a lot more iron than men, but the fact is men need iron as well. And that was our finding as well, that iron is something that ought to be added into a supplement even for males and then full. Yeah. And then for females, they typically know if they're deficient in iron as something they get tested on with a yearly physical, et Cetera, and then they'll supplement extra iron if necessary. Uh, for men taking our Mimi's miracle multi, they're probably going to be just fine, especially if they're also eating some red meat. So that's very interesting that you say that. That was my finding as well, that iron had to be supplemented a little bit for most people.
Speaker 3:Yes. Very good.
Speaker 2:Okay. Let's jump into, oh and by the way, for those of you listening, another pitch, I know this is the dire we health show and we do own dire ob.com. So give me a break, but a coupon code insider INS IDR gets you 15% off any of the products that I have mentioned. So amino acids talk to us about amino acids.
Speaker 3:So amino acids are so vital in the repair for specific tissues such as a bone and ligaments, tendons, joint structures, um, various, uh, cartilage in areas where there's Collagen. All of those are amino acids. So for people that have degenerative joint diseases or college and deficiencies, uh, various things of that nature, that's where all of the immuno acids come into play.
Speaker 2:Okay. And, uh, what are the best sources from food of amino acids?
Speaker 3:So in my research, some of the best sources for the amino acids are eggs and different protein sources. Uh, whey protein isolate is fairly pure depending on where the, where the manufacturer is getting it from. Um, Collagen type supplements, bone broth type supplements, uh, very high in amino acids as well as minerals. And there are certain fruits and vegetables that can actually help in the absorption of those amino acids as well. So again, we come back to the healthy fruits and vegetables to help synergize and to be able to absorb the amino acids properly. The Egg, uh, very controversial but very interesting as the study for instance showed that the egg was susceptible to um, the bacteria bell. If we take a look at the egg, if the inside of the egg had bacteria in it, would you really be able to crack it and eat it?
Speaker 7:Good.
Speaker 3:It would be on the inside and there'll be bacteria on the inside baking the eggs. Spoiled. The inside of the egg is a sterile environment. Yeah, all of that bacteria Kobes from the shell and from the external environment. So as long as our eggs in this case are, are washed or cleansed properly, then there should be no problem with any sort of bacterial or viral outbreak and the inside of the egg. You can definitely tell if that shell has been compromised because the inside of the, that egg is not going to be good for anything. But a garbage,
Speaker 2:the, the poor egg, the poor egg has been through so much just in my own lifetime. Uh, when, when the huge, um, issue of cholesterol came up in the 90s, everyone stopped eating eggs and then it was, oh, we'll eat the egg white and you'll be okay. And then it was, oh wait a minute, actually you need the yolk with the white. And then it counteracts the cholesterol effect and back and forth, back and forth. And all I know is I think eggs are super good for you. I try to buy them from farms where the chickens actually are outside like normal animals and yes, and pecking the ground. And that's really, really not that hard to do. Yeah. You know, I've mentioned this before. For those of you that find it difficult to, to find eggs like that or it sounds like a real burden, uh, most of your local health food stores have farm fresh eggs and ever made arrangements with local farmers. There are a bunch of hobbyists who are raising chickens in their yards. Many times they have too many. If you've ever seen that sign in front of someone's house on your way home from work that says fresh eggs, take advantage of that. And um, Sam's Club, if you have a Sam's club locally, they have a company called the good, the, the or the happy chicken egg company, something like that. Anyways, in the egg section, you can't miss them. Um, they are raised on a farm in California and a on the inside of the lid, they show you the little map of, of how, um, um, free range eggs are raised all indoors in cages and, and then, uh, how regular eggs are, are created. And then they show you a, a map of their, their farms. And I believe they have eight acres around each building in which the chickens roam. And, uh, so and there are reasonable price. So there's a couple different, yeah, yeah. Any other thoughts on that and getting the highest quality eggs. So there's a couple of them
Speaker 3:more. A couple of thoughts here. Number one is, as you look at nutritional content, what does the egg produce when it's properly fertilized? Every single system for an entire body is in an egg. It doesn't matter if it's a fish egg that raises fish. If it's a chicken egg, a chicken is bored. If it's a snake or an ostrich or a bird, then the bird is formed. I find it very interesting that the egg itself has all of the nutritional components for an entire body with every single organ at every single tissue intact. Secondly, if you cook those eggs, what the, you could see the shift and the change in the chemistry. When we cook the white, it goes white wood. We cook the yolk, it turns colors. It goes darker in color, so some of the best advice is to use the egg as a very soft poached or a soft boiled or at a very, very soft scribble type of a setting. And I actually use in my morning smoothie, I use a couple of raw eggs, but the, the suggestion with raw eggs is to increase your B vitamin complex because the body is metabolizing raw eggs uses more B vitamins. Oh Wow.
Speaker 2:I did not know that. That's a great tip. Well, excellent stuff. On eggs. Let's jump into the fatty acids.
Speaker 3:Oh, fantastic. This is one of my favorite topics because the essential fatty acids, of course, we've been raised in a society, especially in the United States where even back into the late sixties and seventies we started to getting into this low fat diet situation. And guess what happened when, obviously now 40, 50 years later into this low fat diet craze, and what are we seeing in our society with conditions such as Alzheimer's,
Speaker 5:um,
Speaker 3:memory loss, Parkinson's, cholesterol, all of those conditions that are related with essential fatty acids are increasing. It becoming more and more prevalent as we get farther and farther all alone in this low fat and a fat restricted diet. I find that to be very interesting correlation in the scientific facts. So a Dr Dan Murphy, very well noted the chiropractic industry. Uh, in fact, this was our fall conviction of last year. He was our keynote speaker and he brought out a scientific study that showed that for the average American, the essential fatty acids are required at a clinical level. Now this is clinical dosage, which means clinical dosage is higher than your maintenance or, or healthy dose because you are increasing the dosage in order to start making up for the deficiency. That's the similar concept as having a higher rainfall amount after a drought in order to restore the lakes and the streams, the body goes through. The same thing with reservoirs and mineral storage is those storage sites get depleted. Well then you have to not just have enough to maintain healthy cells, but you have to have enough to maintain the healthy cells and restore the reservoirs as well. And that clinical dosage amount was 10,000 milligrams for four months straight. Wow.
Speaker 2:And that was probably using the fish oil supplement.
Speaker 3:Yes. Fish oil and also um, plant based because uh, what, what we're finding is in general the, the fish oils and the animal based are, are absorbed and utilized better by the brain and the plant based are used better in the cardiovascular system and the heart. So those are the two main systems involved with, uh, essential fatty acid deficiencies.
Speaker 2:For those of you interested in this subject, you've got to listen to Dr Jeff Ma, Jeff Matheson, the interview I did, um, on pain management, pharmacologic, non-pharmacological pain management. It is amazing. It is so fascinating. I changed the way I got fatty acids after that episode. Um, he's one of the world's leading experts in inflammation and pain management. Uh, I've talked to Dr[inaudible] about this and actually given him a bottle of pure form Omegas, which is the product Dr Matheson is giving to his patients. You, Dr Harati, you probably haven't had that bottle I gave you for long enough to speak intelligently about it. But when I gave it to you already, I could tell you're excited cause you've been researching this and this issue you just talked about, about how the different Omega is affect from parts of the body. And so just, you know, give, given the fact you haven't had a whole lot of time to test that particular product, um, just on yourself and taking it, whatever that concept of plant-based versus, um, fish oil. So one of Dr Mathison's basic comments, a basic premises is the human body. Never evolved to utilize the fatty essential acids of fish that are a mile under the sea. So our hunter gatherer ancestors, they fished in streams and rivers and what they could get in simple boats, right? They didn't have massive nets to go out there and scrape the bottom of the ocean of massive fish, which is kind of what we're doing now to get fish oil. So that was pretty interesting. He said our body is very, very good at digesting plant-based, um, supplements. And so that's why he was a huge fan of the pure form Omegas. So I just pose that as a philosophical nutritional argument. What do you think about that?
Speaker 3:So I know that for instance, uh, in my culture, cause I'm half Japanese, although I've been in the United States for four generations, that, uh, you know, fish and seafood has been a huge part of the oriental cultures. And so when doctor, Dr Wallach was doing his study, he actually found that they were getting their fish sources from the north northern Atlantic because they were finding that the cold water sources in the North Atlantic were much better in the fish or much cleaner and much more pure. It didn't have mercury content and those kinds of things that are found in deep sea, uh, fish. So that's where that source came from. Another very interesting two more components and points about a essential fatty acids is the cholesterol epidemic. And so what's interesting, again coming back to the low fat, uh, fat restricted type diet is cholesterol levels has skyrocketed. It's actually shown in the Pharma pharmacological publications that cholesterol meds are now the number one medication a handed out by medical doctors. And it's interesting enough that when we get our levels of essential fatty acids, cholesterol levels automatically start to go down. So when, why ask the question why in the body's innate intelligence, why does it make the cholesterol levels go up? And interestingly enough, cholesterol is a fat based molecule. So the liver knows how to produce and create a fat based molecule called cholesterol and the body innately increases that fat based molecule, which the body is not getting sufficient essential fatty acid intake from its diet at other sources.
Speaker 2:Okay. Excellent. Well, just like I have with each other, uh, of the category, each of the other categories here, I'll ask you, uh, though you've mostly answered the question I believe, what is the list of foods that we ought to start with before we supplement? What are those foods we ought to be taking to make sure we get our omega three, six and nine?
Speaker 3:Oh, that's some fantastic questions. And there are some very healthy sources. Avocado as a plant based, fantastic avocado oil, olive oil depending on the sources and depending on if you can get it fresh. What we're finding with olive oil is that because it's been processed with oxygen, that by the time we get it shipped across from various countries or uh, imported and so forth, that by the time we get it, it is somewhat rancid or somewhat known util usable by the body. And so it has a high number of free radicals. Um, so depending on your source of olive oil, but coconut oil is fantastic. MCT Oil, um, eggs. The Yolk especially is high in fatty acids, fish in and various forms of meats and animal sources. But for those looking for more plant based sources, flaxseed oil bore ash, pumpkin seed oil, all of those can be very rich sources of essential fatty acids.
Speaker 2:That's interesting. You mentioned the oxygenation of the olive oil. Dr Matthison talked to and the pure form Omega is they put a tiny little bubble of nitrogen in every capsule. It's kind of interesting. Yeah. And so they, they they preempt that, uh, that effect. Yeah.
Speaker 3:Fatty acids, the fish oils that are found to be the most effective as well are those that are packed in a nitrogen based environment. And then obviously at the top of the bottle, they actually blow nitrogen into the top of the bottle as it is being sealed.
Speaker 2:Okay. Interesting. So multiple uses of, of nitrogen sounds kind of bad, right? Like, again, it's Kinda like I said with those, those minerals, uh, nitrogen, we, we, we typically think, well that's not something I want to eat. Uh, but an actual fact it is a healthy, uh, element to be using in food processing.
Speaker 3:Absolutely.
Speaker 2:Okay. Well this has been fascinating and I'm going to put, as I mentioned, we'll create a infographic about these 90 essential nutrients and we'll put on there the top foods, uh, for getting each of them and also create a little guide that you can download. If you go to blog dot[inaudible] dot com you'll be able to be able to find that and uh, and download it. And Dr Hurghada, this has been fantastic. And before we wrap up, um, before I even ask people where they can contact you Cetera, is there anything that we've missed or anything you feel like ought to be touched on in addition to what we've already said regarding these 90 essential nutrients?
Speaker 3:You know what, I actually had been doing three minute health tips and something that I've, uh, as part of my practice has always been education, education, education.
