Dual Lipid Oxidation is suitable for people of normal weight, overweight or obese people. While DLO helps overweight persons to manage weight, it will correct the imbalance between omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in people of normal weight. Today’s diet is to blame for this “imbalance” between omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Most people even [...]
DLO and Metabolic Syndrome
Metabolic syndrome is not an independent disease, but a combination of various diseases. Different disorders of the metabolism are combined. The basic cause of this is probably an existing insulin resistance. Insulin acts as a conductor, infiltrating glucose into the muscle cells. The cells need sugar in order to utilize glucose. The cell needs certain [...]
DLO and Diabetes
Diabetes mellitus is a sugar metabolism disorder. To be able to utilize glucose, the body normally forms the hormone insulin in the β-cells in the pancreas. Insulin regulates the blood sugar level. It is released directly into the bloodstream and causes the absorption of sugar from the blood into the body cells. If there is [...]
DLO and Allergies
Allergies, like all autoimmune diseases, are caused by a defence reaction of the body. An allergy is hypersensitivity of the immune system. After repeated contact with substances known as allergens, typical allergic reactions such as itching or narrowing of the airways occur. Allergens are small naturally occurring proteins. These include: Allergens that enter the body [...]
DLO and Asthma
Asthma is now one of the most common diseases. It is estimated that more than 1,8 million people in South Africa alone suffer from asthma. In addition, more and more children are affected. Asthma is one of the auto-immune diseases, which can benefit most significantly from the anti-inflammatory principle of Dual Lipid Oxidation. The disease [...]
DLO and Rheumatoid Arthritis
It is also called chronic polyarthritis and is one of the inflammatory diseases. These autoimmune processes cause joint swellings eventually resulting in the complete destruction of the knuckle and the toe joints. The large joints such as hips or knees are rarely or at a later stage affected. The causes of rheumatoid arthritis are not [...]
DLO and Autoimmune Diseases
Autoimmune diseases are illnesses that are caused by a reaction of the body. The terms “auto” for self and “immune” clearly state that the immune system produces antibodies against endogenous structures such as cells or proteins. Through this process, an inflammatory immune response is triggered, which can cause permanent damage to specific body functions. These [...]
DLO and Thrombosis
Thrombosis occurs when blood vessels clog due to a blood clot. This can occur in veins or arterial vessels. Blood clotting is usually an important protective mechanism in the body to protect the body from a large blood loss. This well-organized process in the body can heal injuries in the shortest time. In healthy people, [...]
DLO and Strokes
A stroke occurs, when there is a circulatory disorder in the arteries to the brain. A stroke is mostly caused by atherosclerotic fatty deposits known as “plaques” or a blood clot. They detach themselves from the vessel wall and flow with the blood until they attach themselves to a cerebral artery and block it. This [...]
DLO and Heart Attacks
With a heart attack, there is a sudden interruption of blood supply to the heart. The heart is no longer adequately supplied with oxygen and the heart muscle cells die. Often a heart attack is the result of a previous disease such as arteriosclerosis or an unhealthy lifestyle. The arteriosclerosis blocks one or more coronary [...]
