Sharks are the strongest and most invincible of all creatures in the ocean. Besides their outward physical attributes to protect themselves, nature provided these creatures from the deep with amazing immunity to ill health. Norwegian fishermen in the 18th Century discovered that oil extracted from the liver of the deep water shark sped up skin tissue repair if applied to wounds. The fishermen filled stomach sacs of fish with the shark's liver oil and used it to alleviate respiratory tract infections. They also found through practical usage that the oil strengthened them, especially when taken after illness. Japanese seamen called it samedawa, or cure all. By the early 19th Century, the use of
shark liver oil had all but died out, apart from in a few isolated Scandinavian fishing communities. This valuable knowledge would have completely disappeared, had it not been for two Japanese scientists who, in 1922, discovered
a lipid which differs from the usually fatty substances by the presence of a single atom of oxygen. They called these healing molecules Alkoxyglycerols. These molecules were synthesized in 1930 and then research into their versatile healing applications progressed rapidly. Interestingly, a new use emerged in the 1950s, when a Swedish doctor noted that children with leukemia who were fed calf bone marrow showed some protection against the adverse effects of radiation. Investigation revealed that the calf marrow’s therapeutic actions were due to natural immune-boosting compounds called alkylglycerols, also present in notably high concentrations in shark liver oil.
Shark liver oil is sometimes added to lip balms to moisturize and prevent chapping, and one recent report indicated that it might even help heal canker sores. Other than occasional patient testimonials, however, evidence is weak that shark liver oil can cure serious diseases, such as AIDS, arthritis, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and psoriasis. Most of the promising studies with shark liver oil have focused on its possible benefits against cancer and infections. Unfortunately, many of the trials have been done in animals or have been very small and inconclusive. Many researchers contend that the supplement shows real promise, however, and new, more rigorous human studies are under way.
-
Activated and enhanced the body's immune defense system.
-
Stimulated the formation of anti-bodies, by increasing the number of white blood cells and thrombocytes in our blood.
-
Diminished the harmful side effects following radiation therapy by leucopenia and thrombocytopenia, both of which invariably occur during the course of irradiation.
-
The alkoxy glycerol's neutralized and counteracted the detrimental changes in the blood cell ratio, caused by the treatment.
Shark Liver Oil is used for :
Recurring infections. Strengthening the immune system, particularly in chronic degenerative diseases. Beneficial for coughs, colds and influenza. Important for tissue repair, delayed wound healing and acne. Recommended before, during and after radiation therapy. Promotes healing and recovery of nervous system. Normalizes metabolism in diabetics. Effective against viral hepatitis and cirrhosis of the liver. Has an analgesic and anaesthetizing effect to neutralize pain. Topically, shark liver oil is a valuable deterrent in the fight against the symptoms of ageing and as an aid in the maintenance and integrity of the skin. It also helps to minimize the liver spots that accompany ageing.
