    If you are you taking the Chia seeds as a way to get omega 3, the omega-3 oils that are from flaxseed or other seeds are in the form of of alpha linolenic acid. This must be modified in the body into EPA and DHA to be useful, and it is very difficult for the body to do so. Therefore these are poor substitutes as a source for omega 3, so if you are not vegetarian than taking a good fish or cod liver oil would be best, if you are vegetarian then getting the omega 3 from algae might be a better option.

    If you are just enjoying them as one would some almonds,

    Chia seeds seem to have about 6 grams of sugar per 100 grams, which is ok.

    Fiona,
    Thank you billions (not necessarily in dollars that I can supply) for your informative and timely response.
    I am experimenting and so far this 100 gram daily chia routine (along with Dr. Rosedale's protocol) seems remarkably effective for my physiologicalquasi-vegetarian well being perhaps partially due to the included (below) effectiveness "facts".
    I'll add bulk blue green algae to my routine.
    I'll provide you with an update assessment in about two months.

    Thanks again,
    John D. Wendell

    Dear John,

    Thanks for the feedback! Also you can add some flax seeds as well if you roast them in the oven make sure it is not to hot as not to ruin the omega 3.

    Great question.. would you mind if I made your question public on this site so others might learn as well? your email would always be protected and private at all times.

    Best of health!

    I see that some of the transmission got scrambled, sorry, correction, 100 grams chia in about 44 ounces of H2O to drink during the day as desired, also meats, grass fed, also I think full fat, grass fed cottage cheese will work, 2 cups at 15 grams protein a cup to help get adequate protein for vegetarians, also 15 grams a day spirulina from

    Dear John,

    Noticed on your email out your recommended Protandem. Protandem is actually one product that Dr. Ron knows a lot about, from very start and it is not something he would take himself or recommend to others.

    Regards,

    Fiona

    Dear Feona,
    Thank you for your info on Protandem, it has proven to be so effective for me that I am deeply curious about the science supporting Dr. Ron's conclusion.
    Also, here is an update on chia I sent to family that might not be quite right for your audience..
    My recommendations should contain warning labels, 100 grams daily chia is OK for my digestion but might create big problems for some people, caution advised, plenty of water and build up slowly, I ran into spent fuel cargo hold circumferential exit limitations when guinea pigging above 150 grams but my x-port has perhaps more capacity than some x-ports. Did I spell that wrong? Is it *-port or perhaps asterixport? Some how it don't look right. Duh, owell I never could spel.

    Sireously,
    JD

    Dear Jd,

    Dr. Ron did a lot of his own research as they wanted him to be involved, and Dr. Ron would not support their product or any products that he does not believe in. That the quantities, potency and process of any product must be scientifically sound and truly make a difference that is quantifiable. For example reservatrol has all kinds of studies and 'proof' that it works, and it has done very well for them as a marketing strategy. However, if you actually read the studies very carefully you will find that the quantity and potency delivered to the mice, the equivalent would be like a human consuming about a wheel barrow full each day, which is just not possible, so if a human consumed the same amount as the mouse did per day he would not get the same benefits as the mouse got. Though many people take reservatrol every day and feel amazing. It is also the same reason why many studies even those taking the placebo see great results as well.. and they were only take a placebo. BUT.. at the end of the day if people feel good, then that is what we want to feel, so if it makes you feel god then that is great.

    Dear Fiona,
    I thought that the clinical trials showed that consuming Protandem completely eliminates the age dependent increase in oxidative stress.
