Odd “Oil Solution” Delivers Drug-Free Pain Relief

By Dr. Scott Olson, ND Posted October 10, 2022

Drug reps descended on doctor’s offices for years, insisting they had the perfect solution for every twinge, ache, or pain.

Opioids were put on a pedestal and pitched as the non-addictive choice for pain relief.

And doctors bought it.

In fact, the drugs appeared to work so well that they began prescribing them in record numbers.

It wasn’t long before folks with pain (that could have been handled with FAR milder solutions) were being handed prescriptions for heavy-duty opioids. And patients started popping them like they were Tic-Tacs.

Now we know that synthetic opioids (like oxycontin and fentanyl) kill around 70,000 people every year. And that doesn’t include those who turn to illegal drugs like heroin to ease their pain and addiction.

But what if your doctor had started with the simplest solution to ease your pain FIRST?

What if his “prescription” was for you to leave his office, walk down the street to the grocery store, and purchase something natural, WITHOUT side effects, and proven to help control pain?

Even better, it’s something we should ALREADY be taking anyway.

I’ve been recommending fish oil to my patients for over 30 years.

Fish oil contains the omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). These fats naturally help calm inflammation and keep chronic pain at bay.

Now a new study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences confirms, yet again, that I’ve been on the right track.

You see, your body naturally produces a compound called adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Your nerve cells use this neurotransmitter for pain signaling.

But the researchers found that EPA can block nerve cells from releasing the compound without interfering with other critical neurotransmitters.

In other words, the omega-3 stops nerve cells from transmitting pain singles.

This means EPA works especially well for easing chronic pain such as lower backaches, arthritis, gout, and other inflammation-related conditions.

But the omega-3 benefits don’t end there, of course. Studies have also found that omega-3-rich fish oil can help reduce heart disease and diabetes risks, improve cholesterol levels, and promote healthy blood flow.

You can raise your omega-3 levels by eating more cold-water fatty fish, including salmon, sardine, cod, and herring.

Most folks should consider a supplement, too, especially if you’re battling inflammation or chronic pain. I typically recommend between 1 and 3 grams of EPA/DHA fish oil daily.

P.S. Fish oil is a fantastic solution for easing chronic pain. But don’t stop there. There’s another all-natural approach that can deliver real relief for FREE. I’ve got all the details… including why it works and how to get it… right here.
