Shark
Liver Oil
Ironically, nutritional science's newest healing substance is actually
one of the ocean's oldest medicinal treasures. Fishermen have taken squalene
for decades to maintain stamina and applied it to their bodies for a youthful
appearance. In their ancient literature, and the Ming Dynasty Chinese "bible"
of medicine, shark liver oil has been credited with curing sore throats
and a variety of diseases, including respiratory ills. Even Hemingway's
"Old Man and the Sea" consumed deep-water shark oil to protect himself
from disease and keep his body fit.
A Remarkable Immunity
Nature provided
these prehistoric, 800-million-year-old species of deep-water sharks with
a remarkable immunity to all forms of cancer, tumors, infectious diseases
or any of the common illnesses associated with humanity. In addition, the
induction of tumors by any artificial means has been unsuccessful. Scientists
believe this is due to the shark's unique immune system barrier which does
not admit bacteria or carcinogens.
