Since I became a distributor of Lifemax MILA miracle seed last year, and advertised the availability of this whole raw food in the Philippines, so many people have asked me how the chia seed is able to solve so many health problems– from slow metabolism, high bl0od pressure, cancer, heart failure, indigestion, arthritis, ADHD, and many illnesses that have arisen only since the 2nd half of the 2nd half of the 20th century.
I believe I can try to explain the answer simply, but from among the many medical practitioners that have decided to include chia is their patients’ diet, Dr. Mitchell Davis has done a great job to help the layman understand what and why Omega3s are important for everyone’s diet.
I am embedding his video (edited into 3 portions to minimize file size and ease up access) on Omega-3 here as my easy reference, and for hose who would rather get it directly from a medical practitioner.
THE IMPORTANCE OF OMEGA FATTY ACIDS
AND WHERE TO GET THEM
Why do we need Omega-3? (Source American Heart Association)
- American diet is severely deficient in Omega-3. Most Americans are getting only 5% of what they need on a daily basis.
- Heart disease is the #1 killer of all diseases and of Americans. And that’s because none of us are getting enough Omega-3s in our diet. In the healthiest heart societies in the world–in Iceland, in Alaska, the Indians– their diet is rich in fatty oils. They’re he healthiest hearts in the world
What do Omega fatty acids to
- reduce the inflammation. Omegas are like screens protecting the inner lining of the blood vessels from clots, from calcium, and from other things that cause blockages in the arteries
- have been shown to significantly reduce heart attacks by 60%. So people who have been already had heart attacks and put on Omega-3s, will have less tendency to have another heart attack.
- reduces the risk of stroke
- normalizes blood pressure
- lower Triglycerides (fats) in the blood by 26%
- reduce the risk of artherosclerosis or hardening of the arteries
- improves heart function and rhythm. The rhythm of the heart, sudden cardiac death, is when your heart suddenly stops, and protects against abnormalities in your heart
- improves nerve function and transmission
- improves energy level
- prevents dementia and other mental problems
- improves inflammatory markers in the blood. C-reactive protein is an inflammatory marker that measures how much inflammation goes on in your body. These C- anti-inflammatory proteins are high in any inflammatory disorder
The FDA states “Consumption of EPA and DHA Omega-3’s may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.” The ALA fatty acids break down into EPA and DHA needed by the body, thus more intake of ALA is good to increase the EPA and DHA in the body.
Mayo clinic says that the main benefit of Omega-3’s is the ability to reduce the risk of heart rhythm problems, thus reducing sudden cardiac death. In addition, Omega-3s may reduce triglycerides, lower blood pressure slightly, and reduce blot clotting.
Other scientifically-proven benefits of Omega-3s supplementation
- neurological development and function important in every cell membrane of the body, but especially important in the nerve cells.
- improve conditions of ADD/ADHD people with a calming effect
- resistance to depression, memory loss, concentration and dementia
- prevents inflamatory disorders — lupus, arthritis, SLE, fibromyalgia
- gastro-intestinal disorders — Irregular Bowel movement, bloating, constipation, reflux, GERD
WHY ARE WE DEFICIENT IN OMEGA-3S?
- we now eat basically have no omega-3s a or have not been fed with omega-3.
- we don’t eat as much fish as we should
- expensive
- mercury toxicity

Merry Christmas to all!
The media noche is done, more reunions to hold and attend, and more food to consume. Definitely , many of us will be taking in a lot of stuff that are not necessarily friendly for our bodies.
But we can continue to look great, and feel great, by adding just a spoonful or two of Mila chia seeds to our meals every day.
Looking forward to a prosperous and healthy new year for all.

Can’t help but be engrossed with the new free ebook available for download from this site. The Weight Loss Manual by Jon Rutledge became quite irresistable as I went through the contents page.
We know that our body’s metabolism is a major factor in our ability to keep or lose excess fat. “Metabolism is the process by which your body converts food into energy.” But how really does it work? Rutledge explains the process in the most understandable terms for medically-challenged individuals. And that’s why you need to download the ebook now.
Several key statements in the ebook impressed me with their truth.
(1) Losing weight is actually quite simple — eat less, exercise more. But most of us are quite resistant to that message.
(2) You do not have to go hungry to lose weight.
(3) One of the key factors for weight gain is an energy imbalance — consuming more calories than your body burns.
(4) Losing weight, like any task you undertake, requires dedication and motivation to succeed.
There are many more pages of valuable information you can learn or be reminded of in the ebook, so just download it now.
But the four statements above struck me as the ones that helped me lose 20 lbs in 4 months, when I decided to add Mila chia seed to my beverages, soup, salad, or any viand daily.
My first reaction was a noticeable increase in energy, perhaps due to the improved blood flow that brought the oxygen and the built-in nutrients in the chia seed to all parts of my body.
Two days later, I noticed very relieving elimination, that I actually felt lighter.
Then I noticed that I had been eating less during my meals, yet I was not going hungry. Chia seed contains an natural appetite suppressant, Tryptophan, and the seeds actually trap water in their microfibers, helping my stomach feel full longer. I even actually gave up my addiction to cola without trouble.
Finally at the end of the week, I thought of weighing myself. Surprise, I had actually lost 1 lb, a situation that I had been missing for more than a decade. That got me to seriously monitor my weight since. My weight loss balanced off at 20 lbs, but then that’s because i am exercising more to tone those areas that have actually lost so much fat, and now building muscle.
I continue to use Mila, and can actually see the other benefits of better skin tone, anti-aging, immunity to the common illnesses, and continued energy.
MILA chia seed is whole raw food with the highest and safest concentration of omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, fiber and phytonutrients anywhere on the planet. Read more about it in these pages and from the Lifemax Mila website.

I have a special interest in Musculoskeletal health and have incorporated a Patient Fitness Center into our practice. In the field of Rheumatology and Immunology there are over 100 different forms of Rheumatic disorders, each unique in its own presentation. Common symptoms include pain and inflammation. We are so fortunate in that over the past 10 years we have had dramatic advances in our field. We can not only offer improvement in symptoms but also prevention of structural damage. Pharmacological therapeutic intervention is imperfect alone, however. Nonpharmacological intervention is imperative and enhances any other therapeutic intervention. This includes energy conservation, fitness training and optimal nutrition.
So we are extremely excited about offering to our patients a new option for improving their nutritional status. We are now recommending Mila to our patients as a nutritional source. For years we have recommended Flaxseed and Omega-3’s to our patients to supplement their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory regimens hoping for optimal absorption and bioavailabaility. We finally do that with Mila.
The ancient Aztecs used Salvia hispanica L medicinally to relieve joint pain and skin conditions. This had a natural attraction to us in the field of Rheumatology, supporting our efforts to incorporate non-pharmacological measures in our treatment regimens.
I recommended Mila to a patient who has a disorder know as Sarcoidosis, which is a multi-systemic inflammatory disorder. In her case it manifests with joint and lung involvement. She also has Hypertension and Hyperlipidemia. She is on multiple medications included Prednisone. So when her Cardiologist recommended additional medications to lower her Cholesterol level she determined to become more proactive in her healthcare. She began a spreadsheet charting her Lipid levels between April and July of this year. She started using Mila in July 2009 and had completed 4 weeks of daily doses at time of her last Lipid profile. Her chart looked like this (Normal values):
| Lipid Profile |
4/02/09 |
7/28/09 |
Points Decreased |
| Total Cholesterol (<200) |
225 |
212 |
13 |
| Triglycerides (0-149) |
71 |
53 |
18 |
| HDL (good Chol >60) |
56 |
81 |
29 |
| LDL (bad Chol <100) |
155 |
116 |
39 |
I verified her results with the laboratory and needless to say we were both excited. Her Cardiologist told her to keep doing what she was doing and did not increase her medications.
We are well aware of the importance of not only treating illness and disease but the imperative necessity of prevention. Our diets hold a major key to this intervention. We feel that we have an obligation to be aware of our patients’ nutritional as well as pharmacological intake and to ensure the proper combinations. We look forward to working with our colleagues toward this effort.

Just wanted to let you know how much Mila has helped me after using it for only seven weeks.
I have suffered from severe dry eyes for some time and was using a prescription medication for over a year and a half. My eye would burn for 10 minutes after using it and I was still having dry eye problems. It was very painful – like the top layer had been peeled off of my eye. Since taking the Mila I have had no dry eye problems and have discontinued the medication.
I have also been using medicine to treat my Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) that didn’t seem to help very much. I thought that I just had to live with my symptoms and then along came Mila. After taking Mila for a week or two, I realized that I didn’t need my IBS medicine as much and that my IBS was not bothering me – and has not bothered me since then.
Last year, I bought three bottles of another Salvia hispanica L. seed because of their claim that it would help gastrointestinal problems. I used approximately two and a half bottles and then quit because I couldn’t tell any difference. What a difference Mila has made in my life!

The introduction of Mila has changed my life! I am a 46 year-old woman going through menopause. I have been doing my best to deal with the hot flashes and night sweats on my own without taking medication. After mentioning this to Dr. Mark Luckie, he suggested that I try Mila. Thank goodness he did! My symptoms are not even an issue now. I recommend this product to everyone! I have energy that I did not have and I feel 100% better!

I have received several requests for information about the mercury content of seafood. I am sharing here the report of one of the more recognized authorities, the US FDA.
Fish and shellfish are an important part of a healthy diet. Fish and shellfish contain high-quality protein and other essential nutrients, are low in saturated fat, and contain omega-3 fatty acids. A well-balanced diet that includes a variety of fish and shellfish can contribute to heart health and children’s proper growth and development. So, women and young children in particular should include fish or shellfish in their diets due to the many nutritional benefits.
However, nearly all fish and shellfish contain traces of mercury. For most people, the risk from mercury by eating fish and shellfish is not a health concern. Yet, some fish and shellfish contain higher levels of mercury that may harm an unborn baby or young child’s developing nervous system. The risks from mercury in fish and shellfish depend on the amount of fish and shellfish eaten and the levels of mercury in the fish and shellfish. Therefore, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are advising women who may become pregnant, pregnant women, nursing mothers, and young children to avoid some types of fish and eat fish and shellfish that are lower in mercury.

Of course, there are safer non-marine alternatives to obtain the valuable Omega-3, Omega-6, and Omega-9 (and in optimum ratio) — from Mila chia seeds, the miracle seed.
Almost 20 years of research by its rediscoverer Dr. Wayne Coates have proven that, on a gram per gram comparison, Mila chia seeds contain 8 times more Omega-3 than Atlantic salmon, without the fish taste nor the mercury content.

I have to admit that I was a skeptic, like most of my colleagues, when I was presented with yet another “supplement” to aid my treatment of patients and to add to their wellness and preventative medicine programs. However, the potential of a product with high source Omega-3 fatty acids intrigued me. I researched chia over the course of a few months and could find little, if any, fault with the science.
As a busy Family Practitioner, I am presented on a daily basis with patients with GI problems, arthritic complaints, menopausal symptoms, sleep disorders, weight issues, hypertension and elevated cholesterol. The treatment of these conditions are plagued by side effects and high cost. Mila has the potential to treat all of these conditions and more. The future of medicine is effective, low cost treatments with minimal side effects that will benefit preventative medicine programs. I honestly believe that Mila has a place in that future.
Early research has suggested that pregnant women given Omega-3 fatty acids have children with better eye-hand coordination and reach milestones earlier in life. Chia is safe in pregnancy and can be given to children without detrimental effect. Studies in the treatment of hyperlipidemia, attention deficit disorder, hypertension and weight loss are underway.
In addition, I am the medical director of a weight loss clinic and plan on offering Mila to patients as an adjunct to medication. Taken before meals, Mila absorbs 7 to 10 times its volume of liquid and gives a sensation of fullness.
On a personal note, since starting Mila, I find that I have more mental alertness, energy and sleep better. I suffer from chronic insomnia and typically only get 5 to 6 hours of sleep a night. The first week I took Mila, I overslept 3 days and was late to the office! I take Mila one hour prior to lunch and find my appetite significantly diminished with no afternoon hunger pangs.
I recommend Mila to anyone who wants to feel better and am working to get my local medical community on board!

Trans fat is a specific type of fat that is formed when liquid oils are turned into solid fats, such as shortening or stick margarine. During this process — called hydrogenation — hydrogen is added to vegetable oil to increase the shelf life and flavor stability of foods. The result of the process is trans fat.
- Trans fat can be found in many of the same foods as saturated fat, such as vegetable shortenings, some margarines, crackers, candies, cookies, snack foods, fried foods, baked goods, and other processed foods made with partially hydrogenated vegetable oils.
- Also known as trans fatty acids, trans fat can be found naturally in some foods — such as animal-based foods like milk, milk products, and meat.
As a consumer, the most important thing to know about trans fat is that it behaves like saturated fat in the body by raising low-density lipoprotein (LDL, or “bad”) cholesterol — which can increase your risk of coronary heart disease.
Read on to learn more about trans fat — and how you can make wise nutritional choices in order to limit the trans fat, as well as saturated fat and cholesterol, in your diet.
